8800 GT drive bug
First post for a year or three. Sorry it's a rather long one but want
to give full background. My XP (SP3) PC uses an 8800 GT with 512 MB. The driver version I have been using for several years is 306.3. I've recently started getting a BSOD when using my video editor to export an MP4. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...-Dec2015-1.jpg As you see, it points to nv4_disp.dll as the probable culprit. Presumably something has changed, but I can't fathom what. However, I have had several hard crashes apart from the BSOD, mainly when using my video editor (Movie Edit Pro 2014) so maybe that's another possible cause. After much research I found this article about the BSOD and followed its instructions to download a replacement nv4_disp.dll file. http://www.personalcomputerfixes.com...isp-dll-error/ That seems to have allowed me to succeed with the export on the one occasion I've tried. But I'm left with some questions which I hope the experts here can answer please: 1. How can a DLL be replaced by one less than half the size? 2. This screenshot was taken shortly after the successful export, yet the file has somehow become the original again! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4019461/nv-02.jpg 3. Has this bug (if that's what it is) been fixed in more recent versions of the driver? 4. Which version is recommended for a user like me, no games but some intensive video editing/rendering? 5. Why are there so many apparent duplicates of this file, and at least two sizes? 6. Can I expect another similar export to work, or have I got to replace the DLL with the small substitute again? (This is typically a 3 hour run, so not keen to repeat lightly without being confident it won't cause a BSOD again.) Any advice would be warmly appreciated please. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK |
