Resolved GPU problems NV4_disp.dll plus 0x0000008E

Just installed MSI 470GTX getting BSOD with above.... any ideas. All searches on web indicate drivers. Have the latest nvidia 258.96 installed.

 

Loads of possibilities here

Try the driver that came with the card. MSI may have made some changes due to which you may be getting BSOD.

 

Problem occurs with the MSI driver as well.

 

when does the BSOD error message occur, nevross? does it occur randomly or all the time?

 

The bsod appears to occur when the system is under load. However it is not temp as I have the temp displayed so I can monitor it.

As for the other suggestions, I have tried most of the hits coming up on google and tried all the normal stuff like virus checks, and the rest.

 

What about your PSU ? Did you upgrade your PSU to something like 450 W+ ?

 

As you can probably see now the power supply has been upgraded.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. Thanks for the help in getting my ssytem specs to display. They should now.

 

You have indicated Win XP 32 bit & Win 7 64 bit as your OS. Are you getting the problem in both of them ?

 

How are you displaying the temp. ?

It won't hurt if you clean the CPU cooler.

 

Displaying temp with software. Computer pretty new so doesn't need cleaning.

Not getting BSOD's with W7 but programs stop functioning.

 

What software ?

What programs ?

 

Microsoft Flight Simulator (FSX) in particular. Seems like when the GPU is under heavy load.

 

Check if the fan on the card is working properly or not & the heatsink is connected securely.

It could also happen if the card itself is defective. Swap the card if you can & then test it.

 

Thanks, I have taken the card to the supplier and they have swopped it out. I also have installed a GT8800 and this does not give the same errors. Obviously I had to change the drivers....

 

Glad that your problem has been solved.
