Title: Driver/hardware trouble?
Post by: GTA_Guy on September 12, 2007, 08:07:37 AM: every now and then (7/10 times) when I fire up my pc, and wait for like 10 seconds, it gives a blue screen with the white letters on it (I bet most of you had it before)

It says it might have to do with N4g_blabla, or something with the hardware. Now when I'm trying to play vc or lc it runs for 10 screens and than freezes. When I spawn a bike there's like really fucked up colours on it, just when you turn off a old tv (I dont know how to say it in one word).

I think the N4g has something to do with Nvidia drivers.

Anybody please help?

try reinstalling the latest drivers and if that doesnt work, re-seat your video card.

ok the file that causes the problem is Nv4_disp.dll, now when I look on the Nvidia site I don't know what to download and install

The nv4_disp.dll infinite loop blue screen is a pretty common problem with Nvidia cards. I had it for a while, but it went away when I reinstalled the drivers.
