Graphics Driver / Crashing And Rebooting During Game Play
Sep 14, 2005
My computer (crashing and rebooting during gameplay) I'm wondering if it could be the card driver maybe not compatible with something? I have a Radeon 9550 graphics card and a ECS661fx-m motherboard my radeon driver is the catalyst 5.8 a long shot I know as all the driver's iv'e had installed made no differance. I tried the driver verifier and that just left a mess, as soon as I started it the comp went into reboot opened the desktop and then went into reboot over and over again(that was in safe mode) the only way to stop it was to wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows xp I got so fed up with it that i'm waitng for my new motherboard a Abit a-17 guru 865pe in the hopes that might work if not its a new graphics card and it wont be a Radeon.

I just finished putting together my new computer and I'm excited to test it out on a new game. All i have right now is WarCraft III and UT2004.I want another first person shooter, as ut2004 isn't pushing my computer at all. I was thinking maybe doom3, quake4, or half-life 2, but I dont know which one has the best graphics. I'm pretty easy to please game-play wise, so I'm really primarily concerned about the eye candy

I ran a bunch of different spyware removal tools and now whe nI try to play swat-4 TSS I have the most terrible lag in the world. Played this game for a yr with NO problems. Lag problem started after I ran those programs. I am curious if the spyware removal proggies didn't take a file or two that I need for internet connection.I know there was somewhere in win 98 that I could check windows for missing corrupt window files and have them replaced and or repaired can you do that with XP and how do I get there ?

I think i have some sort of 'infection' that is affecting my Display Driver and not letting Windows accept the files. The problem started nearly a week back and over 20 reinstallations of 3 different versions of the Intel Extreme Graphics Driver later, it still gives me the same error. There seems to be an issue with ialmrnt5.dll (one of the display driver files).The main error message that i get from Windows goes something like: "Windows has recovered from a serious device failure. Please close all programs and reboot to restore full functionality". Else, i get a message directly pointing out the file saying something like: "the ialmrnt5.dll Display Driver has malfunctioned.

every now and then when XP boots ( not always, like 1 out of 10 times, but always after Windowsupdate) it comes up with a 4bit colordepht and a resolution of 640X480 and is unchangeable + the Nvidiawizard is not in the Systray where its meant to be.I checked the driver and found out: behold there's a new version available at Nvidia.com , I download and try to install, what pops up is something like the following message: "The software that is being installed for GeForce4 MX440 did not pass the LOGO-Test for WinXP. The Software may not be compatible to WindowsXP and may cause ......" problems and whatnot. So I decide to cancel installation and go to windowsuptade.com. There, too is (among other security updates" a Nvidia Graphics Driver. I check the security updates and the Driversupdate and install. Reboot = Graphic error as described above .

Sometimes after playing a game like Halo I get a blue screen saying that to prevent hardware damage, Windows must be shut down. Something about Intel's GMA driver igx32.dll or something. There's also no option to shut down my computer, I have to press and hold my power button.

My friend was attempting to update his integrated graphics driver and managed to mess it up quite badly. The system boots, but the display just hangs on the XP disk checking screen. You can hear the XP startup sounds etc. so I think it's fully working otherwise. Since I can't see what's going on, I can't get to the restore manager etc. to roll back the system to before the driver change. Is there some way to restore the system from within the BIOS or from a command line that will skirt the messed up drivers? I wish I had a spec list or something to help out but I'm doing this over the phone and he doesn't know much about his system.

I just bought a new notebook and reformated the harddrive wiping everything off it. Though now after re-installing XP I can’t find display drivers that will work. The problem is that I don’t have the CD to install them from and have tried the ATI website but it was no good. I have ATI Radeon Mobility technology, what do I do?

I just recently installed windows fundamentals on a toshiba A76-S206 with ATI Radeon 9000 graphics card but I had issues with the graphics driver on installation. I went to the toshiba site and entered all the specs of the laptop and found the graphics driver but on installation of the graphics driver the program fails to install and says it's not compatible with the system or something along those lines.

Earlier today when logging into a site, I pressed enter, just as a "Do you want to install..." box popped up, so it took my enter as yes and began installing all kinds of spyware.I scanned and removed the spyware using both Microsoft Antispyware and Spybot but I am still having problems.A while after it had installed, my PC just started switching itself off. No shutting down, just switched off, then on again. When it came back on, it said Windows had recovered from a fatal error which turns out to be an error due to my graphics card driver.I then updated the driver to the latest intel one, same thing happened. It does it every 30 mins or so, its driving me crazy!I thought about reinstalling windows, however when I tried to backup and move my important folders to CD, it said there was an error copying them.

I reformatted my computer today, (due to virus) and seemed to be working fine until i tried to install my nvidia graphics driver, it got half way thru and then a command promt opened and the address of it was C://windows/system32/expand.exe. hundreds of files rushed thru the command promt and then it said it had successfully installed the driver. When i rebooted the screen went blank after the windows loading screen, i tried rebooting a few times but the screen stayed blank. I then rebooted into safe mode and uninstalled the nvidia driver, it worked fine after that but i still cant install the nvidia graphics driver.i have the latest driver and am running windows xp pro.

I badly need advice from you techguys. It appears that the graphics driver on my computer needs to be updated, or maybe even completely renewed. My screen wipes out unexpectedly and I recieve a flash of a blue screen. The information I get is that I need to update the seriously malfunctioning driver. It is as follows: NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go (Microsoft Corporation).After going through the Microsoft steps and also visiting the NVIDIA website a matching driver cannot be found.

Which is really the newest driver for this laptop? I tried the current legacy driver (10.2), and it said that no device it could do was present. Even though ATI radeon xpress series is listed. It's the xpress 1150 one.So I just googled for and installed version 9.3 which did install, but I'm left wondering if maybe there's something newer I could be using.

I have a Toshiba Laptop Satellite with windows XP, Service pack 2, and always when I open a photo or see a movie with windows media player it changes the screen resolution and always came too big so I have to restart the laptop. The solution of microsoft is to update the graphic driver but when I go to the web page they don´t have an update for me, and also in the toshiba web page.

I recently tried to update my graphics driver (intel 910GL Express chipset). For some reason there was a glitch, so because there was a slight problem with my display I decided to use System Restore to go back to the previous day's configuration (the rollback function in Device Manager didn't work). This worked fine, but now every time I boot up the machine I get a box entitled 'Restriction Warning'. The blurb says: Administrator has prohibited access to CD/DVD-ROM drives. (This box appeared even before I used System Restore). And yes, both the floppy drive and the dvd drive have big red circles and a diagonal line through them when I double-click on 'My Computer'. They are inaccessible, even though I'm logged on as Administrator.

I swapped out a harddrive with windows 2000 pro from my dell dimension v400 to a dimension xpst550. The V400 has ATI Rage. The dimension xpst550 has a 32mb diamond viper v770 with nividia tnt. Everything went ok.I set up the monitor using the driver that windows 2000 found and recommended. No problems.... The system and the monitor worked fine.I went to Nvidia's web site and downloaded the latest drivers for this.. I had a couple of hang ups where Windows would shut down the program, in Microsoft Money. Web pages were no problem.So after a few more incidents of hanging up and shutting down the money program I uninstalled the Nvidia downloaded driver.. No more problems after setting up the moniter size etc again.

I got a message after a long start up that my computer recovered from a serious error. I then got a message from microsoft to upgrade an intel graphics driver to resolve this problem. After my first restart, the screen image shrank. About one third of my total screen area is black border.

I'm reinstalling my XP Pro OS and I need a file for Extreme Graphics Controller Windows 2000/XP installation disk. The message states I need this file 'ialmnt5.sys'. I have searched google, been on intel, I can't find it. Anyone out there know where to get it? I was going to burn it on cd and put in drive to continue my install. I'm stopped right now for the fileDo I HAVE to have this? Last time I said no, cancel, it completely stopped my install.

when my computer is running, especially when i have just booted it and its loaded, my computer seems to lag uncontrollably and basically won't process any commands. ive gone to windows task manager and located that svchost.exe is causing all the problem. when i end the task, my visual stuff like the things that make it look nice dissapeared and my sound stops functioning until i restart my pc again. im assuming it has something to do with graphics or sound driver.

I'm running Win/XP on a Toshiba Laptop, 40MB. Everything is up to date regarding
MS updates. Yesterday I noticed my screen begin to "unstabilize". The images of letters
and graphics started breaking up and eventually I received a msg stating that the NVIDIA graphics NV4_DISP display driver has stopped working normally.
I went to the NVIDIA site but I was not sure what driver to D/L and if that is even what I should do..
Can someone please advise me. I have to use another computer (my wife's) since mine
only works for about 2-4 minutes before it shuts down (actually it seems to go into
safe mode, but the letters eventually fragment and I have to shut down.).

Even after a fresh re-install of XP the sound driver install causes the machine to crash. No matter what I do. I have most of the files loaded except for the multimedia controller. each time I try to update it , the machine crashes.Not sure if it matters, all high priority updates are done
