Technical support has been getting calls regarding problems with Nvidia video cards. Customers are getting BSOD errors most of the time 0×0000008E pointing to nv4_disp.dll. There are several solutions floating around being used by technical support.
1. Upgrade the BIOS of the XPS system to the latest if there is any available bios update.
2. Downgrade / Upgrade the video card drivers. If you have the latest video card drivers downgrade to about 2 or 3 releases from the latest driver then work your way up. If symptoms persists downgrade to at least 5 releases of the driver from the latest one.
3. Download and install customized/tweaked video drivers. Some of the drivers you could download would be the Omega drivers from www.omegadrivers.net or the Xtreme-G Drivers from www.tweakforce.com
It’s more of a hit and miss situation with these drivers. I’ve seen an article with regards to this issue and that microsoft is suing Nvidia.
If anybody has any other solutions for this issue please post it here. Thank you.
