[This is a branch-off from my initial thread called "Computer Problems..."]

Can't believe it. Finally, after so many sudden reboots during gameplay on many games (Especially FEAR), I get a BSOD while playing the Matrix Online, and not at a very good time either.

I took a picture of it with my digital camera.



Right after it happened I did a Google search on nv4_disp.dll and found that hundreds, if not thousands, of people are experiencing similar problems.

All of the things I'm reading indicate that I either have to delete my current drivers and downgrade or go into the video card's BIOS (Something I have no idea on how to do) and change the timings or the clock speed or something from 256mb to 32mb... It all seems rather confusing at the moment.

What I did try was deleting my drivers (91.72 I think) and downloading the 95.97 Forceware update, which I think I didn't do correctly. I "removed" the old drivers through Add/Remove programs, though I do have a program called "Nasty File Remover" supposed to be able to remove everything (Which is what I think I should've used).

So... I did that and I'm still experiencing problems. Not another BSOD, yet, though time might tell. Experienced the screen just going black, nothing happening for a while, but my computer still running. Then the Windows start-up comes up like I just restarted the thing. This has been the normal scenario though sometimes it just freezes indefinitely until I manually restart my computer... And I'm sounding like a broken record here.

Anything, any tips or such (Like how to get into the card's BIOS), would be much appreciated.
