I am running a Compaq 7110US desktop with Windows XP (all the latest
updates from MS installed) that still has the original nVidia GeFroce2
MX video card. I'm currently using drivers dated 10/6/03 version
5.2.1.6.

I downloaded the latest drivers from the nVidia website and installed
them but when my PC reboots after the install I get "the blue screen
of death" with an error message saying there is a hardware
failure/parity error.

If I reboot into Safe Mode and roll back my video card to the old
driver & then reboot, everything works fine. So what is wrong?

I'd just stick to drivers that work....aMX video card is quite old, I always
found with my old geforce2 gt the only driver that worked with no probs was
the 23.11 drivers

That older video card will NOT work using the latest Nvidia drivers due to
an incompatibility problem. You, unfortunately, have to stick with the
tried and true older drivers.
