Topic: All games crash

[MADASAHATTER]

Hi all
  The problem is this . Every game i install and try to play just freezes...eg HL2,DE2.LOTR BFME causes a serious crash , shows the blue screen ,"summin about nvdisp " and reboots. Everything was working fine on my old SOLTEK mobo untill it fried.
 My new board is the GIGABYTE GA-7VAX , ATHLON2100+ , Creative Geforce4600ti , Audigy Platinum , 2*512 DDR PC2100`s , WinXP SP1 ( and the problems happened in SP2 ) and all the latest drivers.
Monitor is HANSOL710P 1024*768 @ 100HZ.
Freecom DVD+RW.

All or any help will be greatly appriciated

Cheers
Carl

Hi Mad and  


It does sound very much like a graphics card driver fault and i had a problem with mine when i went to SP2 as well  ...


I updated to the latest driver for my card and it wasn't very stable so i installed the previous latest one and it's been a lot better  


I'd suggest trying the previous latest driver for your graphics card as the latest one can sometimes have problems with them until they've been well tested  


If that doesn't help any I'm sure there will be other ideas from more techie people later

The problem first started when STEAM updated HL2, but i`ve recently formatted ( no HL2 installed ) and still get the damn (worse than b4 )problem.

Sorry just remembered i flashed the bios the other day, everything when fine so i dont think its that .
Could it be anything to do with VIA chipset?

You could try the latest mobo drivers from :

Did the games crash before you flashed the bios ?
Did you save the old bios ?
If it didnt crash before then flash back to the old bios maybe

Did`nt have any games installed before i flashed. I obtained the mobo from my brother and it did`nt recognise my 2100+ , it said it was a 1500+ so i just flashed .
And no i dint save my BIOS. :'(
