Nvidia + 64 Mostgame Crash / Freeze
Aug 4, 2008
My pc worked fine some times ago, but now vista crash with the most of games. Just to made some titles Grid, SimCity Civilizations. the tipical behavior is that the game looks works fine until it will stop to respond to any control the mouse pointer will not respond and the keyboard also. the Sound / Music will go on for a while, just like nothing appens... after a few seconds the sound will freeze too, and looping. yesterday i've listened a whole song before the sound be freezed too. Old game like Caesar IV or Flatout2 works fine, so i'm going crazy about that ... This is a realy frustrating situation, so much that i'm thinking about to go back to xp.

If you've been reading the gaming forums lately, I'm sure you've seen a few of my posts...I'm having crashing problems with Ultimate64. I've updated my video driver, sound driver, chipset driver, BIOS, windows, game (COH), ran MEMTEST (passed), downloaded 3DMARK vantage and almost sacrificed a small goat to the computer gods...all in the wish that my computer would just WORK. I've been having freeze (with audio loop/BSOD) problems in Company of Heroes (a million times), FarCry2 (once) and browsing on the internet (once). Every time it's the same: a random complete system freeze out of nowhere. Every once in a while my system will just randomly restart too. Sometimes (only if the screensaver pops on) AFTER benchmarking my system I'll get the same freeze. It never freezes during benchmarking (no matter how many times or how extreme) tests, but it has frozen twice after completion.
My temps should be fine (never seen the system past 55), and my system specs should be good too. This leads me to believe that I have some sort of DX10/Vista problem. I've got an error code here, and was wondering if anybody knew a solution. I'm figuring that whatever shut down FarCry2 is shutting down my other apps (no error codes found for them).

Vista 64 ultimate with dual NVidia 8400 GS, on 4 monitors, running non-SLI mode crashed when ever opening a PDF file.
Although the check from newer drivers indicated that the system already had the latest, I installed the latest drivers from NVidia website anyway. The driver installation package ran through without error, and requested a reboot. Curiously, Vista complained that the installation may not have been completed correctly. Ignoring the Vista warning message (what was I to do anyway?), I rebooted. After reboot I was able to open PDF file.
When I originally configured the system, I had attempted to operate my video in SLI mode. I could not get SLI to work with two cards/4 monitors. Ultimately, I configured in non-SLI mode. I now wonder, if trying out different configurations placed the video cards in an unstable configuration - which was cleared up when I reinstalled the drivers.

My digital camera is a Kodak Easyshare and it takes video in .mov format and i have been using windows movie maker, it allows me to import that format fine. Been working on some video projects and I should have finished the project, before i reformatted my system, but thats in the past and this is now. (I learned my lesson)
after i reformatted and put vista back on, i tried importing and playing the video files in windows movie maker and the video will play ok, but i have no sound. I drag it to the timeline and expand the video to show the audio and the audio doesn't show up. I can play other sound files ok, it just wont play sound from .mov formats. I tried playing the video in quicktime and it plays fine with sound too. I tried another video editing software and it plays fine too. I am working on getting another video editing software, but for now, i will just use what i got, but i got nothing now. If someone could help that would be great.
I tried Windows Live movie maker, which btw, is really ugly, it doesnt even have a timeline, how can you edit videos without a timeline? anyways...i tried the video and it plays, but still no sound. I am thinking that there was a codec that was installed before, but i am not sure what that is. Is there a way to find out what codecs you should have or does it depend on what the user has installed and customized system?....

When I have my display adapter (nvidia 7300 gs) enabled as normal, Vitsa freezes at a random time. It occurs more frequently when running video files, but can happen with no applications open. When I disable this display adapter and run on the on-board one, the problem does not occur, but then I cannot run anything that needs direct x. I think the issue is due to the driver for the nvidia 7300 gs. I have rolled back the driver, but this has not helped. And I downlaoded the latest driver from nvidia's website, but this has not helped. Through device manager, I have unistalled and re-installed the nvidia 7300 gs.

it's getting kinda boring now surely those nuggets over at microsoft are aware of all the problems with vista since i changed over i have made it a point to make sure i only use vista compatable hardware and software but that doesn't seem to help as the only stable software that runs(without crashing) was programmed for XP now that is just silly and a software company's excuse is ''we had to rush it onto the market'' so what does that mean, did they not even test their software now wishing i got a mac instead as microsoft and software company's need to pull their fingers out and start doing things properly i would rather wait 6 months for a game or app that actually works than spend the money to find out that it doesn't do what it says on the box all this due to the fact that not one app or game designed with vista in mind will run without crashing repeatedly over and over again so what does vista do other than try to look good not alot just gives you a headache as you wonder yet again why your computer has either crashed or just shut down what seemed to be an app or game that didn't seem to have a problem when it all of a sudden ends the app or game it even closed chess on me as it encountered a problem i understand that these things do happen but not on this scale this is just to often and microsoft really need a shoe put up there rear for not addressing these issue's sooner.

I have been trying to sync media onto my 2 gb Patriot miniSD card. However, every time I build up my list of media I want to add onto it and I click the "Sync Now" button, WMP crashes. It begins to sync the first few songs, however after 4 songs I get an error message that states that "WMP is not responding". I have tried to do this same thing with different media, but I still have my WMP crashing. I have checked Microsoft for any updates, but it seems that I have kept my computer in good condition (I've only had this computer for about 1 month now). The WMP crashing issue is a recurring problem for me so now I'm at my last resort. What do I do?

The other night I come home from work late. I go to check my email and non-sense...but can't. Internet Explorer starts to crash..a lot. So, I found someone to send me Firefox the next day (I couldn't keep IE open long enough to do anything, half the time it didn't even open before the crash msg came up.) Still FF crashes. I don't know what the problem is..or was, it seems to be doing ok right now, first time I've actually been able to keep my browser open long enough to do something..I'm afraid to close it in case it doesn't work again. So..here are the
reports, first the IE and then the FF.

Factory re-installation from hidden hdd partition after crash complete reformat of C: PLUS installation of all updates incl SP1. AVG fully updated and scanned daily, ditto Ad-Aware and Spybot. IE7 is apparently corrupt, certainly giving major problems. The "quick-start" icon, when right-clicked to "run as Administrator" yields the message "This program is unsigned, do you really want to run" (starts normally when run as "user"). Plus (just one of many problems both as User or Administrator) click a "print" link on a website, IE7 greys out, looks for a "solution on the web", then restarts ...and yes, I have both Java and Activex latest versions, loaded).
As a work-around I'm using Firefox (which does EXACTLY what I expect of a browser, and I used to do in IE6). IE7 is supposedly "core" to Vista OS, can't help feeling that something is seriously wrong, and I may have OS problems as yet undiscovered. Is there a way of reloading just IE7, or are there registry tweaks to correct?

For some reason, Vista crashes as soon as a DVD (hardware or virtual) starts to play (BCCode e3). LiveTV and AVI play without any problem.I deinstalled some programmes, one of which was Nero 6 Express.This Nero was incompatible, but wanted to try it anyway. Although i cannot pinpoint the cause of the crashes, but i suspect my Nero experiment. Anybody any 'serious' clue of how to fix this?

I have recently had to upgrade graphics card to an XFX 9500GT and I also upgraded the mobo chipset drivers for the latest NVidia chipset. I also did a clean install of Vista x64. The sound card was the last thing I had to install, I could install it, but on restart I kept getting a BSOD error code 0x00000124 or 0x0000009c. The only way to get Vista to startup was to restore to the point before installing the X-Fi XtremeGamer card. After reading the internet I have come to the conclusion that it's an incompatibilty with the NVidia stuff and the Creative sound card.
Does everyone else agree with this or is it something else. Idon't want to go and buy a simple 5.1 sound card if that's not the problem.

In the not to distant future, I plan to change my 8800 GTS 640 card to an AMD 4800 series card. I'm currently running Vista 64. I'm concerned that I'll run into a whole host of problems and will end up just reformatting my C drive and starting with a fresh install of V64 with the new card already installed. Can anyone share their experience? I'm sure someone has successfully made the N to A transition.

Since installing the latest Nvidia Graphics Driver 175.19, I've had a bit of an issue when I go to Restart or Shutdown my PC. After I click-on Restart or Shutdown, the Logon screen appears, then it goes back to the Desktop Screen, then back to the Login screen and Restarts or Shuts Down correctly. I'm not sure whether it may have something to do with the Task Scheduler (and Windows Sounds possibly)

I have Vista Home Premium SP2...Core i7 at 2.67, 6 GB ram, Nvidia GTX 285 at 1 GB...computer is perfectly capable of running transparencies on the windows...I was clicking around in the "Performance Information And Tools" > "Advanced Tools" section (I'm new to Vista and am trying to get acclimated...I felt a lot more confident on XP than I do on here), and there was a clickable link that said "Performance can be improved by changing visual settings. View details." I clicked it, and a dialogue box popped up with three options to click, and no way to close the dialogue box without selecting one (no "x" in the upper right)...there was "help", "remove from list", and "ok". I clicked "ok", and now transparencies are gone...and further, when I right-click the desktop, and go to "personalize", and then into "window color and appearance", the settings to adjust the transparencies and the vista themes are gone...its just the old, XP-looking dialogue box with selectable color schemes......

I reinstalled Vista fresh on the drive and now it gives me this horrible distortion in the graphics. Everything installs fine, I assume. I just can't do anything because I can't see anything. It's not black, but has tons of blocks all over it. I was thinking it was my graphics card taking a dive, but I can get OSX86/Ubuntu with Desktop effects to run fine. So, I am at a loss, as both the other systems require graphics acceleration. It's just Vista that doesn't want to work.

I bet you heard it alot, but yes it actually crashes to the desktop on almoust every game that i play. FS X, Settlers 6, Half Life 2, Bioshock, and the list goes on.. The crashes are that the game just freezes abit and it switches to the desktop and says that the app has crashed, and gives me a choise between check the net for the solution and restart it. Sometimes the errors explain the app crash with a direct x file as the "couse" of the problem. While i checked the forums i saw a few video drivers and tryed to install them. Each driver gave me diffrent "new" problems. some of them crashed the game but it took it about 10-15 more mins to do it.
The latest NVIDIA driver is the moust unstable from all the drivers that i have tryed....
Some of the drivers even crashed into the BSOD with a 101 error...
And when it showed it, the error was about some other file, somehow related to
Sometimes it crashes to the desktop with a file from the game it self as the couse of the crash, for example client.dll for Half Life EP 2.
My specs are :
AMD Athlon 2x3000+
GeForce 8800GT 512MB only 1 card
4Gb RAM
Vista Ultimate x64
should i just install XP and wait untill Vista will have a good support of drivers and fixes.

When the computer starts up it gets to the loading screen and then crashes: A blue screen comes up with a load of type on it but the system does a crash dump before I can read what it says. The computer then restarts with an option to continue normally or launch startup repair. I than launch startup repair and it says it "cannot repair this computer automatically".
The diagnostics and repair details are as follows: "Number of repair attempts: 13......

My laptop (Hp Pavilion dv6500 Notebook Pc) had a crash yesterday but after shutting it down and restarting it, all seemd to be normal. But today when I wanted to play some Generals I got a nasty suprise. I started up the game and I got a message saying I didn't have the right directx version. This is weird since I've been playing the game for almost a year now on this laptop. Anyway, I thought maybe something got corrupted after the crash. I startend another game just to make sure and it too gave me an error that I didn't had a proper directx version.
So I checked dxdiag and it said I had directx 10 as my latest version, which is what I had before the crash. I've updated all my drivers, reinstalled directx and reinstalled my games but nothing seems to work. I hope someone could point me out a direction that might help me fix this problem. I'm a student I seriously need my games for some relaxation .

I have a problem with vista 64 ultimate. When i play a game, there is nothing, it never crash or anything. But when i restore games to minimize it half so i can do other stuff, so the game is running in the background on the desktop then it crashes. Like if someone writes a email, and i want to copy the name to a text document, then i restore the game, to get it on the backgroud so i can read the email and write it down. But after 5-10 sec if any game is restored,then my comp crashes.
Once i gotten blue screen of death but it normally goes black screen. Its like vista ultimate 64, cant handle a game running on restored mode, so i can maximize it again for full screen. And that is really annoying. It also shuts out the possibility to play games in windowed mode. If i play a game in windowed mode it dont crash but if i click on a icon like my computer then there is 5-10 sec time before it crashes unless i come fast back clicking on the game again.
Hopefully all get the point of what im saying.

The system has been stable for some time but today while working in Excel I got an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0A BSOD, rebooted and within 5 minutes got SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 3B BSOD and now getting this repeatedly. My best guess right now is that a stick of RAM has failed so have removed all but one 2GB stick and no crashes so far - will run some memory tests on each stick in turn tomorrow. I really hope that's all it is (& I can get it replaced under warranty!) and it's not a mobo fault.
The BIOS did go into recovery mode when I tried to enter it, that's okay now but the raid 5 array is re-initialising as a result . The auto memory timings have never matched the spd (slower) but that never bothered me but I think I'll manually set to the stated timings of 4-4-4-12 depending on what the tests reveal. Only real SW change apart from usual MS updates is I installed VMC TV Pack and USB wifi adapter a few days ago but I'd have expected to see this sooner if that was the cause. From what I've read a 3B is more likely hardware anyway?
