nVidia GeForce 6150 SE nForce 430 'blue death'
hi have had nVidia driver update blues for at least one month now and get the -blue page of death- confirming its nVidia source: "*nv*lddmkm.sys" this seems to be an issue of poorly thought-out nVidia drivers floating around wrecking systems, from what i can pick up from forums heaving with the same complaint: i never had a problem before Windows did a driver update for me a month ago: you can't stop these updates - the last one i ignored till i had to go into Safe Mode then it installed itself my 32 bit Vista has just done a system restore and obviously rolled back to an earlier setting because that brummin Windows Driver Update pop-up has come back to haunt my monitor have gone into nVidia control centre and reduced the setting from -quality- to -performance- hoping this may also have some effect - i do not game but watch videos - so losing 3D graphics quality is no issue - the last two -blue pages- happened to me in the middle of full screen videos if the worst comes to the worst can i replace all of the nVidia hardware with ATI components or would i need a whole new motherboard please? thank you. am desperate Ric vista basic, 32 bit, amd dual core [running full ram] -- kr236rk |
