BSOD NV4_Disp stuck in infinite loop

That has been an extremely popular crash with Nvidia cards for so many years.  Thing is, that could be cause by many problems, but it's usually software or RAM related.

i'm having the same problem! it started, oh, about 24 hours after i recieved my xps 400 with 1 gig of ram and an nvidia geforce 7300 (about 40 days ago). i've spoken with a support tech once and he told me that restoring the system to the condition it came out of the box in would fix everything, but it didn't work! then i chatted with another one and assured me that re-installing the video driver and turning off my multiple cpu core would work. it didn't. i understand that my level of technilogical prowess is only slightly higher than that of, say, a poo flinging ape, and that this is actually way more computer than i need, but i also know that i shouldn't be having these issues with a $1,300 machine! i'm a sims2 freak and have a ton of custom content, so i uninstalled everything that didn't come with the game (a second time), but nothing has helped. i'm so frustrated! i'm sick of people that are very friendly, but can't help. i'm also frustrated that i can't even play a simple video game (come on, it's not like i'm trying for doom 3 or anything) without being booted off. grrrr. i don't want to send my birthday present back, but i also don't want a computer riddled with issues. anyone have any advice?
