Blue Screen ... again

[Klytus]

This is the first time I got a bluescreen when I was *not* trying to run Skype. I may have a real issue with my computer after all. I'v attached the minidump.

Any ideas?

Your minidump crashes at nv4_mini.sys. This is part of your video card drivers.

If this is just a one off crash, don`t worry too much. If it keeps happening, try uninstalling and reinstalling your video card drivers and see if that helps.

Grr. Updating and installing new video drivers was something I just did in an (unsuccessful) effort to get Skype working. I may have to do a rollback.

Thanks for the input

Your minidump crashes at nv4_mini.sys.

Um, can you clarify this. I'm looking al over my minidump and I do NOT see nv4_mini.sys on it anywhere. How are you reading the minidump? This is the command string I used...

dumpchk c:\windows\minidump\mini090806-01.dmp

Thanks.

I use windbg which is part of the microsoft debugging tools.

You can find a short tutorial HERE.

Below is part of the output from your minidump.

Also just to add to what Howard stated, remember to run DriverCleaner in safe mode to clean out the old video drivers!!
