NVidia Driver nv4_disp in CONTINUOUS LOOP!!
I have an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 Graphics Card on my Dell Dimension 8300 desk top running Windows XP Pro. I have recently been getting a critical error screen (blue screen) when trying to open Windows. The error message states that the video driver file (nv4_disp) is caught in a continuous loop and Windows is shut down to avoid damage to the system. The only way I can get into the operating system is to open Windows in the Safe Mode and uninstall the Nvidia video drivers. I have reinstalled the drivers, but the same message keeps coming up and Windows keeps shutting down. Can you give me some idea of how I can solve this problem? Does it mean that the video card is bad? I'm at a loss as to what I should do. Thank you very much for any help you can give me.

1. ran driver cleaner and killed off all the nvidia stuff
2. checked to see if "nvidia" was still there, nope
3. downloaded and burned NVIDIA 56.72 WHLQ Drivers since i have a dimension 8300 and a geforce fx 5200 graphics card
4. put said drivers on messed up computer
5. restarted
6. still got bars

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it when I get my new power supply unit. While troubleshooting the video problem (booting & rebooting ad nauseum), my system quit powering up. So, after more troubleshooting, it was determined that I need a new power supply unit. I'm waiting for a new one now. Thanks again.
