Vista, driver Nvlm something stopped responding

[heedicalking]

Due to this not being a Blockland problem, I posted it here.

Occasionaly when I play Blockland and other games I recieve an Nvnlsomethingsomething driver error that makes my games stop responding. So far I don't think anyone has fixed this. Does anyone know how? It is a problem with Nvidia or Vista or something but I know lots of people get it.

looks like an nvidia driver. you install a new card?
check the site for updated drivers for your card, or try turning down a setting or two that are causing it.
if your graphics drivers are crashing (the cause for the game crash?)

and i don't mean bl or game settings. the actual forced video card settings in the video control panel

I get this alot too

The problem is, your card gets overloaded

I can be caused by the following examples:

Graphics heavy events
(Ex. Hl2, tons of barrels exploding
Hl2, tons of things on the screen at once
Blockland, many explosions)

Stuff like that, it can be very graphics heavy.

That driver is over 2 years old.

Ha.

It's a graphics driver, obviously. It's malfunctioning, check your graphics card.

Nvlddmkm.

I had this problem before, and it turned out to be corrupt RAM and graphics card pooping out on me.

Ha.

ya but sometimes older is better. like xp sp3 is crap. bugs, crashes , glitches, sp2 was fine with a few minor bugs. if i had this problem, i would want it fixed old or new,.,.

[heedicalking]

I am still having the problem.

[General Nick]

Try running memtest or something. It can be corrupt RAM. If the problem still persists try updating your drivers or contacting Nvidia support.

Again I had the same problem with most 3D Games (including Blockland), and I took out 1GB of RAM and some games started working but others wouldn't.

With drivers, almost 90% of the time, older is not better. The only time this has proven true was with my stuffty integrated ATI graphics, which with the newer drivers would be totally crippled.

Also there is nothing wrong with XP sp3.

How do I run the memtest again?
