kozureokami Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I've been posting about a problem various problems I've been having, not related to infection, but I haven't mentioned what seems to be the most serious problem: very frequent BSODs related to nvatabus.sys which I assume is part of the Nvidia chipset (display drivers?). I'm really and truly ignorant about all of this. Does this mean the driver is corrupt, or needs to be updated? When Nvidia scanned my system for updates, it just identified a display driver. Ought I to reinstall the chipset? If so, can I simply uninstall the Nvidia drivers and reinstall them? Or will installing them make the system nonfunctional? Any help will be appreciated. Below are specs for my system.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Reinstall the NVIDIA driver from http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx or http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kozureokami Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 My drivers are current. I believe that the driver associated with nvatabus.sys is corrupt rather than old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANEMAN Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Nvidia have their own very good support forum. Reading past posts there, or even asking a directquestion as you have here may open up a larger arena of diagnostics for you. Specialist forums are always thequickest way to go when seeking answers to problems with specific tie-ins to third party software,drivers, orscripting, as you have the likelihood of a higher number of people using "The Software", drivers , or scriptingwith a large range of operating systems. You can post at the Nvidia Forum Here: http://forums.nvidia...dex.php?act=idx Most XP problems can be easily cured with a fresh install or a "Repair Install" see Here: http://pcsupport.abo...stxprepair1.htm http://www.michaelst...pairinstall.htm http://www.wikihow.c...-Without-the-CD Experimentation with your current XP Operating system without altering any of the settings can be carried out by running a virtualized copy of it.See Here: http://forums.window...showtopic=49374 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
