BYOND Build Number: Version 471.1076
Operating System: Windows XP Video/Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce 6200 256 VRAM Game Hub/Link: any game really http://www.byond.com/games/Falacy/RZG Internet Connection Type: Wireless Firewalls/Routers: firewalls off and not sure about routers Problem Description: After I play any byond game for about 30 minutes, the graphics mess up and it freezes and after it freezes about 3 times the blue screen comes up. The error concerns nv4_disp.dll, which makes me think the graphics card might be the problem. Steps to Reproduce Problem: play any BYOND game for about 30 minutes or so | |
Have you tried to update your graphic card drivers?
What results do you get from DXDiag? A google search reports that this issue is with either a corrupted driver, or a faulty graphic card. | |
i just downloaded the latest drivers but it still freezes and the graphics mess up, dxdiag shows that the driver was made last month.

Shut off your computer, take out the card, and make sure there is no dust / anything else on it, and remove it either by blowing on it (How I do it-also the free way) or using one of those compressed air cans or whatever.

Have you tried contacting your graphic card vendor?
Given that there are multiple similar cases found in a quick google search, maybe somebody should notify them. | |
Because he said "VRAM" in his graphics card I can only assume that was short for Virtual RAM, meaning the graphics card doesn't have any built in RAM meaning it isn't a graphics card at all but a chipset on the motherboard. There is a good chance that it is simply overheating, so it would be a good idea to make sure all the fans are running properly.
Both blowing on it and compressed air can be very bad for the inside of a computer and are generally not recommended by computer professionals. Vacuums can also cause a lot of static so they are not recommended either. If you choose to use compressed air, make sure to keep it upright and at least 1 foot away from any electronics while using it. | |
Vram = video ram

However, now it just freezes up and no message pops up bringing me to the blue screen of death. My Dxdiag: http://www.mediafire.com/?3fxjexzgge2yfcn | |
