Help Problem with file nv4

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

My computer freezes and then I get the blue screen and the following message:

The problem is caused by the following file: nv4

The device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates
problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the
hardware incorrectly.

Please check with your hadware device for any driver updates. Technical
information:
***STOP: 0x000000EA (0x813BF1A8,0x813AB378,0x816E9098,0x00000001

nv4

I do not know what device they are talking about. Can anyone help.

This has to do with your Nvidia display drivers. Either the drivers you
are using are 1) not the right one; 2) corrupted; or 3) your video card
has failed and will need to be replaced.
