Error Signature

[Carnivorous17]

I just installed Unreal Tournament 3 but am having some trouble. When I try to load it, it starts to load but then stops at a completely black screen and for a second will flash a BSOD. When it restarts it gives me this error signature:

BCCode: 100000ea BCP1: F9555628 BCP2: F9586428 BCP3: F6CC3CBC
BCP4: 00000001 OSVer: 5_1_2600 SP: 2_0 Product: 256_1


Any feedback on what this error signature means is greatly appreciated as I would love to figure out what I need to do to get it working.

Looks like a driver problem. What you might want to do is completely uninstall ALL your videocard software/drivers. And I mean COMPLETE! You might want to get some driver cleaner software. Then reinstall the newest version of your videocard drivers/software.

Is the video card overclocked as well? Bugcheck EA relates to the video card.

Unfortunately i've already tried exactly that before. Though I will do it one more time to see if is any help.

And if it helps, I increased my paging file size. I tried running the program again and this time it just stayed at a completely black screen. I had to manually restart and it gave me this new error signature:

BCCode: ea BCP1: F9206020 BCP2: F9957520 BCP3: FAD758B8
BCP4: 00000001 OSVer: 5_1_2600 SP: 2_0 Product: 256_1

I'll add the newest minidump as well. And i'll comment back on whether the driver wipe and reinstall works.

A long time ago I had overclocked the card but don't anymore as it was unstable when I did. I checked Everest and its clocked at the normal settings

No luck unfortunately. I had already tried reinstalling the latest driver but it didn't help. So this time I installed a previous driver but its still crashing. I managed to read what the bsod said and it said something about the driver stuck in an infinite loop and nv4_disp being the problem. Newest minidump is attached
