Windows 7: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 crashes during Gameplay

this started about 2 weeks ago it would just go to a static screen and would give an error saying nvidia display has stopped working. but today it went to a blue screen and now it's showing a static screen on the windows start up and also freezes on the windows logo. I've tried update the drivers, but no luck. could this be a hardware issue?

Hi Focka, Welcome to SF,

The issue is quiet clear that its with your Display card or Display drivers. But still to come to better conclusion we need the Dump file to analysis it. Follow link it will help you in finding the Dump http://www.sevenforums.com/crash-loc...d-problem.html

I guess the problem is your nVidia Drivers. Follow this article Info: nVidia Driver Cleaning Guide - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net and remove the Drivers completely then download the drivers from nVidia's website and install it NOT from Windows update. Update your BIOS Firmware to the Latest one.

Also Start > CMD > Right Click and Run as administrator > SFC /SCANNOW

So i removed and reinstalled the display drivers with no luck . also tried to install the BIOS Firmware to the Latest one, but it wouldn't boot from CD (when i boot from CD it would just restart windows). Now normal windows doesn't work at all. I'm also getting weird vertical red line on start up (it started right after i got the blue screen). When i was uninstalling the display drivers i noticed that one of my Video cards said "this device isn't using any resources because it has a problem". I'm beginning to have a bad feeling that it's a hardware problem. My friend said it might be a leaking or blown capacitors on the video card.

Bump

where are you at now? same place as before? have you tried booting into safe mode (F8)? Have you tried a repair install?

Yes I'm at the same place, it's still showing the red lines on start up and it's still not loading windows on normal mode, thought safe mode is working fine. I've repair installed it 2 times now with no luck. I've come to the conclusion that it is my Video card. I hooked up my second card to my monitor and reset windows to see if anything would show up. when it turned on there were no red line, though since it's not the primary video card i could not load window even safe mode. i still have to remove both cards to see if it's truly the video card ( I'm have a really hard time trying to get the video card out). (noob question) The thing i don't get is why isn't it loading normal windows at all?

If you nailed its the Video card then that's why its not loading i guess still its trying to load your Video card in Normal mode that's why it's not booting up in Normal mode. I think the Best thing would be to somehow remove your damage card and remove all the drivers related to that card then have a new or the secondary card you have plugged in then try to run a Repair then see whether you can load under Normal mode.

Good Luck,
Captain
