Display Driver Problem

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 periodically. 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
