I've had this PC for nearly 4 months now and it had a strange problem where if I try to play a proper DVD in Windvd 7 it spins up and then crashes with BSOD, stop error 0x0000008E nv4_mini.sys .
First I thought it was display driver, but isn't that an nforce driver? I think I remember reading somewhere not to install nforce IDE drivers over standard windows ones(?) [please tell me why installing nforce4 drivers for the very same chipset would cause a bsod !] So I'm guessing I overwrote them.. that's the only thing I can think of that's causing this. I updated the PATA driver in windows, but the problem is still there.
I can use windvd fine, playing dvds from hd - just not with proper dvds. I can play proper dvds in windows media player... soo it's not a major problem. But I do have to remember to remove any dvds before starting windvd !
googling hasn't been very helpful. Any suggestions please?
