Driver_irql_not_less_or_equal Nv4_mini.sys

My computer keeps rebooting itself at random times (under 5 mins from startup).

Before I upgraded the nvidia drivers, it would restart even before fully booting into windows xp.

I cannot reinstall windows w/o having a BSOD.

After I installed the latest drivers for my geforce 3 ti200, windows xp boots up and stays booted for ~5 mins then it BSOD's with the error file NV4_MINI.SYS. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Oh and this just started happening very recently... it worked fine before... I did not change any hardware.

You're card is dying. That's an old card, kinda like your grandfather's, grandfather's, grandfather's grandfather.

That is a very old card. It might by diening, or it might be bad drivers. Try using Omega Drivers. They may solve the problem.

ancient card. time for replacement.
