Nvidia Graphics Driver & Windows XP

by benjamin . Updated 23 years, 7 months ago

Hello All

I have a VERY annoying problem that I would like some help with. I have a GeForce 4 Ti4600 graphics card. I have installed it and updated the drivers, etc. The problem is that if the machine has been off for a while, I get the Windows splash screen (the one with the orange bar going across) and then when it is supposed to load the desktop, I get a black screen. I turn the power off and turn it back on and it will usually fire up normally. On the odd occasion I get the stop error message implicating nv4_disp.dll as the problem. I have turned ACPI off, I have added minimum and maximum values for file caching (suggested by PNY) with no change. If anyone has a proven result, I would love to find out about it. Here are my specs: Custom built PC with SOYO KT133 motherboard with VIA KT133 chipset, GeForce 4 Ti4600 (PNY), 256MB DDR PC2100 RAM, AMD Athlon 1.3Ghz, Windows XP Home, SoundBlaster Audigy MP3+, Seagate Barracuda hard drive. Thank you in advance.
