nvlddmkm.sys errors and crashes with Vista32/64bit

[Feuerfalke]

To my personal experience the error surfaced much less often with SP2 RCs. When it appeared I found that it did occur again and again, even on the desktop and when loading games until I switched of my PC completely (shut down, switch off PSU for 5 seconds)

Then it worked perfect again.


As you said, Thunderbolt56, it's random in itself and dependent on different factors. I sure hope you won't run into the same problem!


Maybe you can keep us up to date, once your nice rig runs the first games?

Again a lesson in reading is needed.

You didn't even read those threads did you ?

Only two contain information regarding nvlddmkm and I have replied to them already some time ago.

Edit:

Added Vista Service Pack 2 today soak testing now with MY registry TDR=0 removed.

Greetings,

well I am really not an OS / HW expert, but this is my simple observation. I currently have:

and before GTX295 I had 2x8800GTS512m (but this has no importance regarding this issue)

Until nvidia driver line 179.xx there were no problems for me, even SLI split screen mode worked like charm. Then the disaster came, but suddenly with 182.50 the problem is gone for me (well, SLI is unfortunately no show with il2 any more). What ever anybody says about who/what is the generator of this, my opinion is coming-up directly from my previous sentence.

I tested it too with my current setup (different Graphics Card and different CPU)

Plan:
-change the entries
-reboot
-test
-put in memory that caused the problem before
-test

Result:

After changing the entry and rebooting (without changing RAM) my Vista didn't start - bluescreen during boot. Had to recover from safe mode.

I have removed Vista Service Pack 2

Its causing BSOD on my system.

This system has never BSOD'd on me.

Here's the lnk for the SP2 download.
