Hi all,
I bought this machine in April this year, (Novatech "barebones", i5-3330, Gigabyte H61M-S2PV Mobo, 8GB Ram, Asus Geforce 210 Card, XP SP3), and a while ago, I noticed that it was rebooting when left alone for a while.
Intially, I thought it was purely to do with the BOINC/SETI screensaver. I did briefly catch a BSOD that mentioned something about a loop, but it rebooted before I could read it further. So I changed to using the standard Windows Screensavers, but now it locks up with a message about "nv4_disp.dll" not working, and a section of screen in the top-left, showing random pixels.
I have updated the drivers since, and again this evening, but seeing as this file appears to have not been updated in some time, I doubt it will solve the problem.
It's not a major problem, as I don't tend to leave it too long unattended (plus I can switch off the screen, and Set NO screensaver), I've had a google, but most of these are old problems, and relating to various games, this only happens when the screensaver is running. I'm guessing the only solution maybe to final upgrade from XP, but that's something I can't do just yet...
... any ideas ?
