Hi, funny I was just coming to write something and I had not seen
your entry.

The start up this morning was after being off 10 plus hours; and so
the system was not hot.

One more note; is the last thing i recall doing before shutting down
last nite; was the microsoft updates (i get notified;and then i
decide when to install, and installed last nite.)

But what happened on start up.. all differnt problem in all those 7
or so times.. some times on one; graphics quite fade. most time
though; message on monitor saying monitor was alright; but on other
starts or even same; would either shut down; or just go blank, not
blue screen blank, just blank as if off.. the 3 beeps at start up;
got that twice.. the system having apparence of being up; but not at
all; no keyboard access; mouse not moving, etc.

so these were some of the variuos things occuring while trying to
start up today; again after being down over 10 hours; so the system
was not hot.

Thanks,
Casey

I am a liitle dubious about overheating causing a boot problem
unless it occurs on restarting the computer after it has been
running.

If you want to get the whole picture try to get the error messages
in the event viewer and have a peek in the Device manager to see if
there is malfunctioning devices or a conflict somewhere.

Have a look in the Event Viewer and send us the error messages you
will see there in your next post:
Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will
need it later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or
Yellow exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more
info about the causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the
Notepad you opened earlier and right click on the first line and
select Paste from the list, this will paste the error message on a
Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be
sufficient. HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in
Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427/en-us

Please we need just the error messages with Red (X) and don't repeat
the error, just one of each kind and post them back in your next
post.

Hi Nass,

Thanks for your help! My question is; that today my system had
many problems starting up; approx. 7 attempts; and all starting
differently; some with 3 beeps at first; some loading all the way;
then monitor shutting down; or keyboard is not working etc.. so had
many problems today; and it was about 3 days ago go the nv4_disp
error.

No mention of the error in the start up problems; so my question is
- before i install the correct graphic update driver for my system;
is my problems I'm having today starting up; caused from this
nv4_disp problem?

thanks
Casey

Hi, I read thru other entries to see resolution for this error
message nv4_disp.

But before I update my driver; want to explain what happened as
did not see same in others.

Few days ago got that error message nv4_disp and infinite loop,
and sys restarted or I did, and all came up fine.

now, 3 days later; at today; i turn on sys, and in 6 or so
attempts all different problems occur;

on one start up 3 beeps, pc runs, no video

on another sys starts up; video fades (the video of windows xp
starting)

on another 3 beeps and nothing.

all of these hang sooner or later somewhere in the start up
sequence.

So, my question is;

for this nv4_disp error; I see the resolution is to update the
graphics driver; but do any of these start up problems above make
any sense; occuring 3 days or so after the error message, no
troubles until today on start up?

Thank you,
Casey
