After I boot up, I usually get a blue screen that says driver is stuck in an infinate loop. Refers to file nv4_disp. Sometimes I can boot up, go on IE and shortly after, it freezes and I have to restart. Just put a new Video card in. e-geforce 2 mx 400 Don't have a clue as to what to do.
WElcome to the forums lindaroth1
Are you using Win XP? Have you installed teh drivers that came with the new VGA card? Also try using the new Nvidia drivers

or follow these steps

The technical term for these 'blue screens' is in 'nerd' a BSOD (blue screen of death - translating to 'shagged' :D) - this'll have more detail on it than "nvd_disp" - if Techz's suggestions for new drivers aren't helping, try us with the full BSOD message & any other info you can think of & we'll see if we can help .. (so motherboard info or make & model of pc, & which windows version please at least)
Someone else put the card in. I did not see him read instructions. I am totally clueless about computers, just learn a little as I go. Now I am reading insturctions and I see it requires a APG driver before you install card. Do not know if this thing has APG driver, anyway I can check before I move on? By the way, I have XP HomeQuote:

After putting CD in I get a message that say the driver I am trying to install is older that the one currently on my computer. Now what?
That means you already have the newer drivers installed, try using the link I gave earlier and install those drivers.
A google click and wow, lots of issues with this

This details it more properly.
To remove the old drivers use this app:
http://www.drivercleaner.net/download/DC3Setup_33.zip
Instructions at: http://www.drivercleaner.net/
Then Finally install the new drivers from here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_66.93
Keep us posted
Ok, it's done. I will try getting on and off a few times and let you know. It already seems to be running faster. It has been really slow for awhile. I'll let you know later. Just noticed - was I supposed to remove old driver first? I just went to that link you mentioned. Hope I did not mess up.
I'm back and it's still doing the same thing. What do you suggest?Quote:

OK, if you havent installed teh new drivers yet,do that, if the problem persists, well were gonna need someone to help us out ;)
I'm not getting the blue screen anymore but it still freezes up after I go online. Will check out teh driver.....
Only freezes when u go online, or when u start the pc for some time, could be overheating.
Leave the PC on w/out doing anything and see if it freezes.
Actually, I was wrong, I got the blue screen again tonight. I turned on the computer and it went thru it's thing and then went to the blue screen without me even being in the room, meaning I touched nothing. Here is the message on the screen:
"The problem seems to be caused by the following file: nv4_disp
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
The device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates problem with the device itself or with device driver programming the hardware incorrectly
Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates.

nv4_disp" So, there you go. This thing is jacked up. I have no idea what any of that means.
