Nvidia & Vista nvlddmkm.sys has stopped responding bloody irritating
Does anybody know of a surefire way to stop this ever irritating problem
that plagues myself and others that have an Nvidia Graphics card (of various ilks, 7900, 8600, 8800, etc) and Vista? There are various things to try from completely removing any drivers for the graphics card, reinstalling. Underclocking system RAM, faulty ram sticks - clutching at every straw available basically. Some of them work, none of them have for me. It's so unpredictable. My system can go for hours without it occurring then it can happen every 20 seconds. I can't relate it to temperatures as my system is cool, I have underclocked my RAM from it's rated 900Mhz to 800, and even 667Mhz - the issue still remained. Nither Nvidia or Microsoft are taking any blame on this, some blame faulty hardware on motherboards or even graphics cards. I've had an Asus P5N32-E SLI and now an Evga 680i, a 7950GT graphics card and now an 8800GT. My 8800 has been fine for 3 months untill now. If anyone can help I would be most greatful as I'm short of just buying a bog standard Dell PC throwing this piece of sh*t in the trash and making do with a console for my gaming experience! Thanks. |

It's your fault for using Vista and wanting a stable gaming environment when all the advice to gamers has been avoid Vista. New OS, new hardware, new drivers, what do you expect? Flawless operation? XP and DX9 have been around for a generation in computer years, and only now are things running like they should. When the argument for adopting Vista is: "Well, XP had growing pains too" you at least acknowledge that Vista has growing pains and you are making the choice to work in that pre-mature environment. SP1 may or may not fix it, I suspect it will at the cost of performance, you have no idea what Vista does internally for DRM, many times a second the drivers are polled and hardware checked, each check robbing a slice of FPS pie, and adding just a touch of instability each time. nVidia can not fix what MSFT will not allow. |

Microsoft identifies the .nvlddmkm.sys problem as the responsibility of nVidia. No response from nVidia, but the problem has not recurred in the last two weeks. The platform is EVGA 680i SLI motherboard, E4300 @ 2.7 GHz, EVGA 8800 GTS , 2 GBytes DDR2-1066, Windows Vista Home Ultimate. The system worked fine for 10 months using Windows XP Pro, then fine for a month with Windows Vista Home Ultimate, then an every 5 minutes nvlddmkm.sys problem for a week, and then smooth sailing still using Windows Vista Home Ultimate. Go figure. Phil Weldon "The Kontaminator" wrote in message ...
