I sucks at IT so I need you, smart ones!

 

Recently I've been getting blue screen of death. These blue deaths are mostly random. I don't know what causes it. (The blue screen disappears in like 1 sec and computer restarts so I don't have time to read)

 

*** I bought a new power supply and video card weeks ago BUT I got these blue screen issues BEFORE I BOUGHT THEM too. So it cannot be caused by the upgrades I made. ***

 

But yesterday I got blue death when I started a youtube vid. The PC got restarted and I said - why not start a youtube video again to see if blue screen happens again. It happened again. And again, and again. So I decided to record it to be able to stop the video at the point where the blue screen comes up.

 

(The video buffered to like 40%, however the video itself didn't get displayed and the audio got stuck and sounded like it was a remix lol then in the next second I got blue screen and restart)

 

Here's the text:

****** nv4_disp.dll - Address BD2913EC base at BD012000, DateStamp 52fd0513

 

Beginning dump of physical memory

Physical memory dump complete.

 

So can anyone understand and identify this for me please? What can it be? Or is it just some random memory addresses?

Looks like a driver issue... try a clean install of your graphics card drivers...

 

Uninstall first with display driver uninstaller, then install the latest non-beta version...

Uninstall and reinstall the video drivers and see if that fixes it.

It only happens when I use firefox, though. Strange.

[Tenge500]

Do you get BSOD in any other applications?

 

If not, Firefox might be the culprit.

 

But according to the BSOD info you gave, it should be either a display driver or memory issue.

 

To remove display drivers and prepare a clean install, use DDU.

 

To run memory diagnostics on your XP machine, you need to download the utility.

 

Yes sometimes I get totally random ones as well. But it's not THAT frequent. No matter what I do, sometimes I get it random ones. Even when I'm in a 3D application! But unfortunately I cannot catch the random ones because they are random obviously.

You're on XP?  How old is your system?

Download CCleaner and run the registry cleaner. From what I can tell, your system is old and has probably never had its registry cleaned once in its entire life. That could well be what's causing your computer to be unstable. Don't worry, it's free, and it's not malware or anything -- every member of this forum will swear by it for quick, thorough cleans.

You're on XP?  How old is your system?

8 years old.

(Except the power supply and graphic card that's kinda new.)

[Tenge500]

Well have you tried reinstalling graphics drivers and/or run memory diagnostics?

Instead of that, I'm now reinstalling windows. I mean I'm installing Windows 7 x64 now.

nv4_disp.dll is definitely nvidia drivers

 

i have problems with firefox crashing nvidia drivers and causing bsods...so i dont use firefox
