Vista - Display Driver Stopped Responding and Has Recovered - nvlddmkm nVidia Driver

Here are my system specs

Athlon 64 X2 3800
Asus A8N32SLI Deluxe
2x Geforce 7800 GT
2 GB (4x512) Crucial Ballistics 2-2-2-6

Vista Ultimate x64
Nvidia Forceware 100.65

I experience a driver crash and recovery from time to time, especially when playing newer 3D games (primarily Lord of the Rings Online). Anyone else having any similar problems?

Hi.
This driver it´s in beta version, remembered, only you need put in mode sli, only one GPU, and the porblem finish. I have 2x 6800, and y resolver with this way.

regards.

The driver I am using is the 100.65 which is not a beta driver. It is WHQL certified. The 101.41 is the beta driver at the moment. 100.65 does not support SLI on my chip, so I do not believe that is an issue. The 101.41 driver does support SLI, but when install that games have very poor performance.

I found out a pretty easy way to fix this issue. I used a bunch of screenshots to make it easy for even non computer savvy gamers.

Gir

have you tried the fix in the post just before yours?

well i would of tried the way to fix it in the post before me but if you click on the link it dose says "Unfortunately, this fix is temporary…the problem will likely come back and you will have to do it again." i don't fell like i should have to do something ever time the error occurs ... i just don't understand why it just started happening..... i have had the grafix card for while and there is no reason why it would do this but i guess if this is the only fix i can find i guess it will have to do tell if pin point the real problem.... once again if anyone know how to really fix it or know why it dose this please let me know

My apologies you are absolutly right if it is a fis you dont have to re-apply it every time you want to game. let me do some research to see if anything had been resolved

Edit possible fix
During the installation of the current drivers, an OLD file
nvlddmkm.sys is copied or left in windows/system32/drivers and not the current onein the install. As a result the new drivers are attempting to access an older file instead of the latest.

Fix: Go to windows/system32/drivers and rename nvlddmkm.sys to
nvlddmkm.sys.old. Go to the nvidia directory and find the file nvlddmkm.sy_ for your current drivers and copy it to windows/system32.

Using the cmd window (DOS box) type
EXPAND.EXE nvlddmkm.sy_ nvlddmkm.sys. When the expansion is complete, copy
the new nvlddmkm.sys to windows/system32/drivers and restart the computer.

Your computer should now work properly.

that would be so cool... but i tryed the thing that guy said... yah didnt work just my luck atm we are testing out if it is the grafix card that is making the problum happen witch would really piss me off cuz the grafix card is not even a year old. i will keep you updated

I will keep looking
