I've recently been getting quite a few blue screen crashes on my computer. I'm not too sure what the problem is so I'm hoping someone could help me out here!
After having a look through the forums I have noticed you require the dump files with these sorts of problems so I have provided them here. I apologise for the long list, I realise that the majority of them are related to the "nv4_disp.dll" error but the bug check description is different on some of them so I thought I should post them all. I have also tried updating my graphics card driver but that has not really done much good.
Any help on this matter would really be appreciated!
