Yesterday I was playing one of the many games I play (Counterstrike Source, if it's any relevant) and my comp froze. I had no choice but to do a hard reboot and when it finished preloading windows (just before the "welcome" screen) my mouse showed up but the screen stayed blacked for a bit, then it bluescreened. The only thing I had time to read was "nv4disp" and something about stuck in an infinite loop, so I knew it was relevant to my video card/drivers.

I uninstalled my video drivers (via safemode), gave it a reboot, reinstalled them (without my video drivers installed Windows boots up fine), and when I went to reboot it threw me the same bluescreen. Just to see what would happen I rebooted again and it gave me a bluescreen, but instead of the nv4disp jazz, it said PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA .

With the memory address thingamabobber on the bluescreen (STOP: 0x00000050 (0xF000E819, 0x00000008, 0xF000E819, 0x00000002)) I did some quick googling and read somewhere (I would give you the link to the article I read it from but I lost it =\) that it was somewhat relative to corrupt memory.

Since then I've reinstalled all nvidia drivers (mobo and GPU), reinstalled with older versions of drivers I know worked, and updated to the latest drivers for both. Sometimes the video drivers install work fine, Windows comes back up, but it freezes after 5 or so minutes it locks up and continuously bluescreens again. Whenever I don't have video drivers installed (like now =P) Windows works fine....I just don't have any video drivers =(

As the end-all of troubleshooting, I bit the bullet and backed up what I wanted and formatted; just finished reinstalling all the essentials a few hours ago, and when I install my video drivers, it bluescreens again. I really don't want it to be, but I'm beginning to fear my GPU has corrupted its memory somehow.

Anyone have any ideas?
