BSOD need help

Kadafi · 15 Jan 2007 at 17:20

ok so i got a cheap new gfx card as my last one died and need a quick fix (new one is msi geforce nx6200) ever since ive been gettin bsod roughly every 15mins, but sometimes wont be for hours. the tech info is: ***STOP: 0x00000019 (0x00000020, 0x84383208, 0x843832a8, 0x0a140004)

the gfx card seems to be workin fine and within temp limits. the newer drivers i find and download all seem to be currupt for some reason!

The stop code is related to an invalid pool header, typically a driver problem. Where did you get the drivers for it?

I'd recommend DL'ing the latest drivers (http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp), go to your device manager and remove any video adapters listed, reboot, let it detect, and point it to the right driver.

If that still doesn't work you have a defective card and should return it for a better model.

does the BSOD say anywhere on it about n4disp?

Uninstalled & cleaned (Driver Cleaner Pro) old drivers before installing the ones for the new card I hope?

Also, by cheap do you mean second-hand?

Try download drivers from here. If also corrupt, then could indicate some other problem not necessarily GFX

ok so removed the old drivers, rebooted and tried to install the new drivers i just downloaded, half way through i get this error (which is similar to what i had before when downloading drivers)

'The contents of this file cannot be unpacked. The executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted. Please obtain another copy of the file, verify its integrity, and try again.'

I think it may be your Windows install tbh.
