NVIDIA GRAPHIC CARD PROBLEM

[benjay]

hi there,

i need some help with a problem i've got on my VGN-FS315M...

this happens on quite a few random occassions when im using my laptop - the screen just goes black for a few seconds with a eering sound (like one you would from a scratched cd)...and comes back on after a few seconds.....all of a sudden recently bout 2 weeks ago or so, whenever i play a game on my laptop, after a short while the screen goes black (with the same sound) for a long while and then restarts automatically, displaying a message saying the system has just recovered from a serious error - this now happens on every occasion i play a game on it. i then thought to disable the automatic restart option from the error recovery settings. so now when it happens instead of automatically restarting, i get the "blue screen" with quite a few messages...but what i notice is the error report on the blue screen says the fault seemed to be from the NVID4 file or something similar (which obviously leads 2 the nvidia graphic card, i supose!) - it says "it was caught in an infinte loop - so either the hardware is faulty or the software program is incorrect or faulty in a way, thus causing the hardware to misbehave.

so when the blue screen appears i have to press the power button to manually restart the system.

and by the way it uses a Nvidia geforce go 6400 graphic card

There should be a Setup.exe file in the extracted driver files - run that.

Hi benjay

The Nvidia drivers you require are in the Video 2 folder..

Once you've unistalled the drivers (as per Blencogo's instructions), open the Video 2 folder, then right click on NVSZ.INF and select install from the list.
