**Original Title**nvlddmkm.sys causes BSOD

Hi,

I can't start Vista since a week or so. Just before the login screen should apear, it crashes into a BSOD, reporting that the problem is the nvlddmkm.sys driver.

I've been checking the Internet for days now (a lot of forums), and it seems to be a "common" problem, occuring with all kinds hardware and software configurations. I've tried just about everything to fix it, but nothing seems to work.

Is there a solution for this problem?

Hi Maarte61,

  Sorry to your having so much trouble. Since your having the same issue even when the driver was rolled back, it leads me to believe even more so, that it could be card itself. You might try contacting the cards manufacturer. We could rule this out though, if you have another video card we can try. Do you have one you could test?

Thanks again,

Hi Maarte61,

 Unfortunately, my guess would be the driver or the card itself. Since it worked fine for while, then just stopped. My best guess would be the card's the issue. Can you cancel the driver install when you get to normal mode? If so, I would try canceling it and downloading the new driver. Or if your in "Safe mode with networking" I'd go ahead and download them them and have them ready. So if you can cancel, you wouldn't have to go download them. Let us know and thanks again for posting.

Thanks,

    so do you know what piece of h/w it was?  i am wondering if my problem is the same. i just dont know what. I know my error details show something about not enough nonpaging file ram or something in the BCP3. i guess i was told there is a memory leak or something. I am running 7 home premium x64 with only 4g ram. I had vista but changed it to 7 to see if that would help. i do know when i play games, i hear a revving sound in my laptop. itll rev up and then stop consistently. i guess that is my hd, but i am not sure. i just want to put this to rest.

    Wow, I can't I getting in on the worlds longest post. Anyways, I've been having the same problem with my Dell 530 Desktop with 3 GB Ram and 2.4 dual core, WD500GBHD. I've been doing all the tricks with this thing and I have trouble doing one thing. I'm tring to disable my intergrated video in the Bios. When I go into set up I don't see the option or don't recognize it. But in the mean-time If you just delete or move to a usb drive the nvlddmkn.sys file, the computer starts fine in normal with compromised graphics of course. I've read in another post that there were these mother boards out there that this problem happened on. There was a fix where it was fine for XP but not Vista and vice versa. So I'm going to try and disable my intergrated graphics in Bios to see what happens. Does anyone know how to do this.

    TYIA,

    Marc
