GF4 TI4200 BSOD Dilemma - Please help!

Greetings gurus and fellow frustrated gamers.  I purchased MSI's GF4 TI4200 about a year ago and have been putting up with a problem I thought was related to other components for a long time.  Every single 3D graphics game I play in windows XP will eventually and utterly crash with a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) which relates always to the nv4_dsp.dll file which is Nvidia's driver.  I have tried 12 drivers...MSI/NVidia/experimental with no change.  With help from the folks on the forum I replaced the PSU with an Antec 400w with no change.  I have tried my old Geforce2 MX400 with the same problem.  I have reformatted the computer 8 times and removed every single additional component except what was required to test my problem.  I just purchased Star Wars Galaxies and am now crashing 8-15 times a day.  I generally go 20-30 minutes between crashes.  This is no longer acceptable.  I have received this crash on Warcraft III, WC3:TFT, Neverwinter Nights, SWG, Black & White, and many more.
I have found through search engines that this has something to do with some Windows XP systems and Nvidia drivers and is an issue that does not have a fix.  I am hoping that you can offer something that I can do to fix this problem.
Before you ask...this has nothing to do with any other component in my computer.  It is not heat, the psu, the motherboard, the memory, the hard drives, etc.  I have replaced every single piece in this computer and it still occurs.  Check out this link for an example of someone else with the same problem: Similar Problem or use a search engine and type: nv4 blue screen.  You will see what I mean...this is happening to tons of people.
My question: Is there a fix?
Any help is most appreciated.  If there is not a fix, ATI is my only direction I can take.

Richard,
Well you are right about it not using IRQ 5, however, it is not conflicting with any other IRQ that I can see.  The view under resources by connection reads:
(ISA) 0 System Timer
(ISA) 3 Communications Port(COM2)
(ISA) 4 Communications Port(COM1)
(ISA) 6 Standard floppy disk controller
(ISA) 8 System CMOS/real time clock
(ISA)11 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
(ISA)13 Numeric data processor
(ISA)14 Primary IDE Channel
(ISA)15 Secondary IDE Channel
(PCI) 5 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller
(PCI) 5 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller
(PCI)16 NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200
(PCI)17 Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
(PCI)18 Wireless-G PCI Adapter
(PCI)19 Creative SB Live! Series (WDM)
Please advise.  Thank you for the response.

  • Export Dilemma, please help

    I have a dilemma. I use iMovie 08 to import my ACHD. I then edit in iMovie 08 and most often iMovie HD.
    My source is 1080/60i. I import at Full.
    My output is in DVD. I want to make a sd dvd and also have a Quicktime File for burning Blu-ray later. Either through Toast on a regular DVD or a Blu-ray burner, once I get the software and or burner.
    My work flow involves editing and then sharing to Quick Time for the Blu-ray movie. For the regular DVD I would like to share to Quick Time.
    I would use AIC and current fps and for the compressor the other box checked and the interlaced box unchecked ???
    Have blur set to 2.
    For size would I set to ??? In 08 I understand 1280x720 HD is the best quality, but what happens in iDVD to it? And what about form iMovie HD, any difference?
    For the Blu-ray version I would use the settings above but for the size I would use HD 1920X1080 16:9
    I have sent projects straight to iDVD (from iMovie HD) and I end up with a 720x404 movie. The quality seemed OK for SD DVD on a smaller HDTV.
    I could use some help form someone who is experienced in this type of work flow. I have tried many experiments and not hit on a great quality DVD. My next imports I am planning on converting before importing, not sure to what. Does iMovie HD and 08 handle the clips the same (in terms of de-interlacing)?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I think I might be asking too many questions in one post. Let me try a different approach.
    1)When I do a Full import of 1080/60i AVCHD into iMovie08 do I now have 1080i/30 AIC clips or are they progressive?
    2)If I then import these clips into iMovie HD 06 do they get converted at all if the project is set for HD 1080i 30 ?
    3)Would there be any benefit to exporting to QT expert settings vs just importing to iDVD form either HD 06 or 08?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • GF4 Ti4200 and Win98 - HELP ! serious problem with drivers !

    Ok, I could successfully install the MSI GF4 Ti4200 128 in Windows 2000, no problem there, everything is working.
    I then installed Win98 as a second OS, I launch the drivers setup (from MSI CD) and I reboot as wanted by the setup. The PC reboots, the Win98 screen appears and suddenly...it reboots by itself, no message, no black screen.  I tried with other driver versions from NVidia and this time, I get a freezed black screen after the Win98 screen, I must press reset.  I had to enter the safe-mode to remove the drivers and get the usual 640x480 in 16 colors.
    What's going on ? I tried to change my bios parameters, disable the virus detection option, everything that could make problems ... but no success. I also tried a second Win98 installation, with DX 8.1 installed before the drivers but still the same problem.
    My system is AMD XP 2100 with Asus A7V333 motherboard - 300W for power, is the problem caused by some VIA chips ? I tried with their 4-1 drivers and stuff on the CD but it really doesn't want to work.
    Please help...

    after searching a bit on the forum, I found a thread where someone pointed out a problem caused by memory, greets to him.  I have 1 gb of ram and I added these lines to my system.ini :
    [vcache]
    MinFileCache=65536
    MaxFileCache=131072
    ChunkSize=2048
    NameCache=4096
    DirectoryCache=96
    ConservativeSwapFileUsage=1
    Values may change with more/less memory...And now it works perfectly in Win98.

  • Please help me to come out of this dilemma.

    Hi
    I am in dilemma.
    Recently i have joined a new organization which is a world leader in its field . The company name is very popular around the globe. But the thing is its almost 4 months , and as an Oracle DBA , i am not getting chance to work on something interesting / challenging . The thing is , i studied the environment here and i think most of my work involves only preparing DB docs , attending meeting and raising support tickets once a while. So very minimal technical work.
    To be honest, in last 4 years of my career i haven't worked in such a large organization before so during interview i didn't ask for type of work ,and i just wanted to join this organization as it will have a dramatic impact when i mention the name in my resume . I do not want to quit this organization so early because it will have a bad impression . Also , i think speaking to my bosses will not work because they cant help it in any way .
    I am happy with every thing else here , but i want to leave this company for doing something challenging as an Oracle DBA , but want to stay here because every thing else is damn good and also when i switch to a new company after 2 years , people will be dying to hire me ;) , am i contradicting ?
    Please help me to come out of this dilemma.
    Thanks

    Well, joining a big company from a small company and then leaving it just in few days would actually backfire. Next hiring people would think that since you were in capable to handle the workload in a big company(because you never worked in such environment before), you were thrown out. You won't be able to justify your reason that you left because you didnt' find enough challenge there because it can be completely blown away by a simple counter that how did you know that there was no challenging work there as you never stayed there even for a year too! So IMO, you would do more harm for you than anything good be quitting now. Its a mistake not to ask about the work but you have committed it already . What you should n't do is to do add another one and that is to leave the company now.
    Since you are not having much work, why don't you use it learn more about the company, its various works, other divisons and above all, to learn oracle database in your spare time. There is no place where you would be given challenges for your sake. If there is work it would come to you else you would be remaining free. You are working as a normal dba I believe not in support or something like that for you, every time, a new issue ticket is ready. If you have spare time with you, use it wisely to understand how things are working , both in your organization and with oralce db. Spend time doing trainings and learn more about the product, complete at least and then leave.
    Just my 2 cents.
    Aman....

  • Keep getting BSOD and need help PLEASE ! P7N Platinum Sli

    Hey guys ,
     Can someone please help me ? I have been getting BSOD for along time now and then i get a windows recovered from serious error when it boots back up , i always send in the error report and usually it says a driver problem but i have re-installed every driver servral times and and re-formated my pc sevral times to try and get it to run right . Now i finally got a different report back from windows error reporting saying a "Non Compatable BIOS is the cause " here is the error report screeny i took and uploaded to flickr  http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3538/3349882297_4a3194e3df_b.jpg and this is another screeny in flickr of my BIOS in MSI Info View http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3445/3349882397_ef282a33d2_b.jpg , i believe i have the newest BIOS installed and the correct one also and have been running that version for along time . When i first setup this system i could not get my Q9550 to boot at all with this mobo till i updated the bios to the P0B6 but have never had it stable from BSOD . My Specs are Q9550 "Core 2 Quad Yorkfield SLAWQ Q9550 333 2.83 12M " / MSI P7N Platinum 750i SLI / OCZ Vendetta CPU cooler / 4GB- 4x1GB OCZ FLEX DDR2 1150 / OCZ GameXtreme 1010W / 2x - XFX GTX260 Black Edition in SLI / 1TB Seagate HD .
     Also i had just tried the live update but it says there is no new updates for bios , when i first did the update i used a 3.5 floppy and flashed the bios to the ver i currently have now because there was no way for me to use the live update with XP Pro 64bit , Now im running Xp Pro 32bit w. SP2
      Please help ??? Please help ??? Please help ??? Please help ??? Please help ??? Please help ??? Please help ??? Please help ??? Please help ??? Please help ??? Please help ??? Please help ???

    I suggest that you clear CMOS and use flash it to the BIOS v1.1 under the MSI website for your board and see how it goes.
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1373
    LOL thats funny !!!!!  1.1 is what came installed on the mobo and is not compatable with the Q9550 it will never boot to bios using 1.1 with a quad core ! Thats the first problem i had thats why i explained all the steps i had to go through to get this mobo / cpu to boot with the help from MSI tech support !

  • K7T Pro2 and MSI TI4200: Please HELP!!!

    Hi
    I have an MSI K7T Pro2 motherboard. I got few weeks ago a new video card: MSI TI4200.
    After the installation in the case and power on of the PC I can't see any image. The monitor remain black without signal. I can hear one long beep and 2 shot ones.
    I tried the following workaround:
    - Reset CMOS
    - Set AGP to 2x
    - Disconnet all peripherals (audio card, nic card, cpu fan, usb peripherals)
    Looking on the forum someone suggested could be the PSU so I have replaced it with a new one with the following specifications:
    DC Output: 350W
    +3.3V: 20A
    +5V: 35A
    +12V: 16A
    3.3V & 5V: 175W
    But still does not work!  ;(
    Bios on the motherboard is updated at the latest release.
    Please help me. Do you have any idea?
    The funny stuff is that I decided to get an MSI video card to avoid incompatibility with my MSI motherboard so please MSI don't betray me!
    Thanks
    Mario

    Diabllo
    I forgot to write that I tested the video card on my brother's pc and it works fine. The nice stuff is that my brother has a 350w PSU with 165w combined 3.3v+12v.
    The difference is that he has a newer motherboard not MSI.
    Thanks

  • Please help Mum's Acer Aspire 8.1 won't boot to windows even with a windows disc BSOD

    Hi.  I am sooo very frustrated.  My mum has an ACER Aspire E1-522 series.  She's been having probs with it since last summer as it turned very s-l-o-w and would take forever to do its updates...however, the internet is messed up here sometimes and hard to 'jump onto' with Wifi as she's not 'hardwired' to the internet.  Anyway, I had cleaned out her system a few times, no probs...Then AFTER the last update from windows ( approx. a month ago) and the computer shut itself down. Whenever she turned it on, it would 'interrupt' her after sign on screen for Windows and then say it was fixing itself.  I told her I would try to fix it (as we CANNOT afford to take it to repair for $100+) So I bought a 16g usb to do a back up on (it has never been done) as the back up would not go onto discs (??) Now, that I invested $ in that, the darn thing will ONLY come on with logo, and IF I'm lucky, will come on with blue screen "windows encountered an error, wait for repair..." then it goes black (or sometimes blue) for days...WHAT can I do?? How do I fix this? I don't know how to get the battery out either, but I don't want to damage the computer in case it does have to go to the shop.  And how does one even 'get in' for the RAM in case that is the problem? PLEASE PLEASE help!! ( it's not even 2 yrs. old... but it is out of warranty...) Thank you for reading my rant! (OH-PS: We tried to boot to windows with a disc and NO luck..)

    Hi,
    Would you please first check if the system can startup into Safe mode?
    Then, please try the startup repair in Advanced menu after you boot your computer via installation media.

    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2843-automatic-repair-run-windows-8-a.html

    bootrec /fixmbr
    bootrec /fixboot
    bootrec /scanos
    bootrec /rebuildbcd

  • Help with GF4 TI4200

    Everytime I start window xp the message vbios.dll failed messages appear, and If i go into display and select those 2 additional MSI options it get an error and the thing closes... any solution to this?
    My cpu is
    P4 2.53
    Asus P4S8X
    Samsung 512 DDR
    MSI GF4 TI4200 128mb 8x AGP

    FFSabin,
    Use notepad to make a new file and put in it what I quoted below and then save it with the .reg extension.
    Quote
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARENVIDIA CorporationGlobalNVTweak]
    "Coolbits"=dword:ffffffff
    "NvCplEnableAGPSettingsPage"=dword:00000001
    "NvCplEnableAdditionalInfoPage"=dword:00000001
    "NvCplEnableClearViewPage"=dword:00000001
    That will open all the extra options in the Detonator4 Drivers including the Core and RAM Speeds for your GF4.
    Take Care,

    Im beginning to lose my patience with this machine. Im not very technical with a computer so i really need your help. Ive managed to pin point the problem with 3Dmark2001. The highpolygon test with 8 lights shows the same problem i have with direct3D games, a very stunted (unsmooth) movement and i get 9.0Mtriangles/sec (Not sure if thats good or bad).
    Ive looked at other threads, and one struck me as odd about installing a new mouse seemed to interfer with the video card. The link is here and its the third post down:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/...10433boardid=9
    It sounded like he was having the same problem as me, and i have recently installed a new mouse and keyboard but hadn't registered that this could be a problem.
    I was hoping i had an incorrect direct3D setting or something to do wiht multilights or multipolygons. Opengl works fine, its just the direct3D. Im struggling here. Can someone please help me.
