So I have had a problems since I bought my computer what comes with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bits and now almost whatever I play my screen freezes during gaming for let say 1 min and after that I can keep playing until new one comes and it's keep going until I stop playing every 5-10 mins or so also I get new reports to "Problem Reports and Solutions" every time it happens and it looks like this.

A problem with your video hardware caused Windows to stop working
Rookie27,
Hi, I'm Freddy, and I don't have all the answers. The trouble you're having is a condition that can be caused by various sources. That's why it's hard to identify and rectify, as you have found out. It's clear that something is causing your system to malfunction, but just what is hard to say. Are you using an nVidia graphics card? NVidia has been having issues making their graphics card drivers fully compatible with Vista. This is well known. You say you have updated drivers, but did you update the graphics card drivers? Sometimes updating those helps, but sometimes not. That's just another example of why this problem is so hard to diagnose. You have a conflict of some sort. I have no idea of what it is. It could be anything. Those eight files you have from running the sigverif.exe utility are unsigned drivers. Unsigned drivers are those that haven't been verified by Microsoft as running properly in Vista, but that doesn't mean that they are the source of your condition. However, one or more of those could be causing your problem. Again, it's hard to tell. Not all unsigned drivers cause problems. I don't have the solution, because of all the possible sources that could be causing your problem. Most people simply keep working on the condition until they find it or give up. One good approach is to participate in a user group devoted to either nVidia or ATI cards, whichever card you have. You can find such user groups on the Internet using google. A good ATI group is www.rage3d.com. You should consider participating in such a group and posting your problem there to see what happens. I had a similar problem some time back. I eventually determined that my condition was cause by my Intel processor upgrade from 2.4 GHz to 3.01 GHZ. The manufacturer of my motherboard said that my motherboard supported up to 3.01 GHz, but it had issues when playing games, but only when playing games. During games, I got the same error you are getting. I changed back to my old 2.4 GHZ processor, and the errors stopped. See what I mean about all the possible sources for the condition you have? It can be hard to find. One person solved his problem by doing the following: "Right click on desktop display settings classic theme + Turning windows defender off, all settings in windows defender to off!" I copied that from the Internet. After doing that, his problem was solved. Just another example of how different things can cause this problem! I'm sorry to say that I can't solve your problem. -- freddy "Rookie27" wrote: Hi all!

Thanks for your help, freddy. I think I do whatever I can and after weekend I return my comp back to shop. You spoke about unsigned drivers what should I do with those I started to think maybe the problem is that because I have two program in Windows Defender "Not yet classified" and what startup when windows starts, smax4pnp.exe, JMinsIDE.exe, first one can be also find in "sigverif.exe". My question is what should I do with those? I'm not now in home, I'm going to try and turn off Windown Defender and give it to try. Althought it's a bummer if new Windows can't run properly. I'm running newest ATI Catalyst drivers. Also I think smax4pnp has something to do with my sounds, my old sound blaster was too old for vista, so I downloaded SoundMAX ADI Audio Driver from www.asus.com. -- Rookie27 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rookie27's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=28246 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=786648 http://forums.techarena.in |

what video card?
what version driver have you tried? what settings (resolution?) have you tried? On Fri, 20 Jul 2007 02:54:06 +0530, Rookie27 wrote: Hi all!

A problem with your video hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly.
My video card is MSI Rx1950 Pro 512mb, newest catalyst driver 07.7, and resolution is what I always try to use is 1280 x 1024 because it should be optimal for my monitor. Once I bought Visa I haven't tried any other drivers only newest, I had Windows XP before and it reported VPU-Recover problem and it crashed to windows or freezed totally so I had to reboot or quit comp. It just sound strange that new comp doesn't work with new drivers but I'm willing to give it a try what Catalyst should I test? I tried almost everything in Windows XP from omega to catalyst and from newest catalyst to oldest but nothing. I tried to run a game with Windows Defender off but no help. Also I downloaded all newest drivers from www.asus.com and updated my bios. -- Rookie27 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rookie27's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=28246 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=786648 http://forums.techarena.in |

A problem with your video hardware caused Windows to stop work
Rookie27,
What to do with unsigned drivers? What I do is try to figure out what they do. Once I know that, I then determine whether they could be causing a problem. You can use google to find information on a file name. Simply search on the name and you should get hits. It's all a matter of trial and error. If you think a program could be causing a problem, you can shut it down, uninstall it, or whatever you want. After doing that, and the problem continues, then that one's not the issue. Move on to the next. It's not easy. Like I say, the problem could be caused by anything. Some people blame the video card, or its drivers, because the error message says that the video card stopped functioning (words to that effect). It's not impossible that something related to the video card is the problem, but you also can be wrong by doing that. Something apart from the video card is causing the video card to malfunction. You get the idea. That's why this is a difficult situation to analyze. If your computer is new and still under warranty, take it back. Good idea. -- freddy "Rookie27" wrote: Thanks for your help, freddy. I think I do whatever I can and after weekend I return my comp back to shop.

I'm calling quits I'm so tired with this somebody else can take care of this. Althought it's kind of strange that one of my favorite game Medieval 2 Total War worked before but now after Vista it's telling Microsoft .NET Framework error. An Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will be shut down immediately. If you press continue the game start to load but then new error "Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecifies error and will now exit" I also tried to fix that it took me 2 days but didn't find any help. -- Rookie27 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rookie27's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=28246 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=786648 http://forums.techarena.in |

does the vendors site recommend a specific driver for Vista? did you
upgrade from XP? what driver was installed when you did the upgrade? was a new driver installed by Vista?

Hi I'm back, I started to think maybe it's because of Catalyst graphic settings.
