Updating Chipset Drivers

Hi. I gave XP Service Pack 2, NVIDIA Graphics Card and a Mitsubishi
DiamondPoint 17" Flat Panel Monitor.
A couple weeks ago the so-called Blue Screen Of Death started coming around
notifying me that nv4_disp.dll had crashed. Details I'm not sure of. I
removed the
driver in Add/Remove Software and before I rebooted I used Driver Cleaner to
remove any remnants of the driver. I did this several times as it continued
to crash.
Finally I had the XP setup cd remove the partition and install XP on the
empty
partition. After reinstalling my software It started again! At least this
time the system
booted up where as before it would lockup before the welcome screen.
I'm using the latest display driver I could find on NVIDIA's web site:
78_01_winxp2k_english_whql.exe.
I reinstalled the driver and reduced my screen res from 1280 x 1024 to 1024
x 768. (I had this same problem a year ago and if I remember correctly
reducing the res
helped.) I found an article at NVIDIA this exact situation and one
suggestion was to
update the motherboard chipset drivers. I wish to do this but I want to make
sure
I install the proper driver(s) I'm not even quit sure how to determine my
current
chipset driver's version. I did however notice that when my computer starts
I saw
and wrote down the following:
GeForce FX 5200
Version 4.34.20.18.07.
Is this the current chipset driver name and version???
Can someone direct me as to what I need to select at NVIDIA's site to
download and install the up-to-date chipset driver(s)? I'm not sure if
updating these driver(s) will
remedy the situation.
Any help here will be extremely appreciated.

Thanks,
James
