Blue Screen of Death nv4.disp Infinite Loop Bug
This transpired over a few weeks. Yes. I got lazy to find a fix. Here’s the sequence of events as they unfolded.
First, the computer (running on XP) hung, probably got kicked accidentally too often due to inopportune placement next to my feet. Mouse pointer frozen. I hesitated to restart but I did.
Then the screen went blank. I was highly disturbed.
When the blue screen of death (BSOD) flashed, I panicked. Some garbled message about infinite loop appeared and physical dumping began. I quickly scribbled down the culprit, nv4.disp, and restarted again.
Now the screen remained blank. Panic ensued. I searched Google on my trusty phone for an answer.
Search: blue+screen+of+death+nv4.disp+loop
Results: Christopher Jason’s brilliant fix
Solution: Basically I needed to download the latest Nvidia driver, uninstall the existing Nvidia driver, install the new one, reboot, and it worked again. Chris Jason rocks!
Now I can sleep.

I’m sorry to hear that.
Did you manage to find a solution?
