Mini Dump [nv4_disp.dll ??]

I've had a few overheating problems with my PC recently, BUT these have been cured by a thorough cleanout of the processor heatsink, case fans & PSU fans. I used to get sudden shutdowns, I believe they were related to a processor overheat.

Anyway, I've recently installed a game called "BVE 4" and it all seemed fine and dandy. However sometimes during play, or immediately after quitting the game, I get a blue screen saying Windows had to shut down etc. etc. and points the finger at nv4_disp.dll. First I was using 84.21 drivers, but I rolled back to 81.98 thinking that might have some cure, but obviously not.

I used the tools provided on this forum and got a debuglog.txt as follows:

it must be protected by a Probe. Typically the address is just plain bad or it
is pointing at freed memory.
Arguments:
Arg1: e4cd5dac, memory referenced.

Interestingly about this error is that I've never had it occur during or just after any other game or application as of yet. A virus methinks? Well I scanned "BVE" and NIS said it was fine and there are a lot of users of the program out there...

Any help would be greatly apprieciated.

Strange things about this problem is it only occurs after the installation of "BVE" and AFAIK no other programs are affected, although I have another system heavy game I'll try out to see if that has any problems.

Before it crashes I get several stalls in the computer for about 5 seconds; then it moves on. Then it either stalls once too often and reboots or I exit and it reboots.

Thank you for your help, I'll try a forum or two, I think there are some.

Upgrade DirectX

I find directx footprint at the stack trace and your directx is 4 years behind. Upgrade Directx may resolve the problem.

Interestingly, the dxdiag tool lists my DirectX as 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904). But I'll try reinstalling it anyhow.

Your version of dxgthk.sys is at Aug 2001 and it is 4 years behind.
