• Satellite X 200-NVLDDMKM stopped responding BSOD

  Hi all

  Have a stock of X 200 (not overclock or any change at all) but constantly encounter NVLDDMKM BSOD. After a very quick search on Google, you can determine that this is an endemic problem with Vista and NVIDIA cards. I was wondering if someone Toshiba could give advice on how to fix this major flaw that is starting to get very, very boring. It will be same BSOD before completing the startup in windows...

  For now, ja? 196,04 pilots of laptopvideo2go helps me and I know what you say - use the Toshiba drivers leave the site Web - but the problem always rears its head using the drivers of tosh (lying around so far NVIDIA releases, you market it like a laptop for gamers, you should keep up with versions)

  If other people have the same problems please comment on it, we who publish the most attention that power can pay to the problem...

  Thank you very much

  HM, I wonder how many people will always show on the problems with the combination-> Vista + Nvidia cards

  I'm sorry, but IMHO Vista is completely unable to push something forward when it comes to games. If I were you I would go down to XP and be happy that an operating system uses only 5% of the resources of the system and not as one with overloaded faecals 'window' which implies an operating system.

  Regarding your problem: Please try memtest and SuperPI or at least something that verifies your RAM/CPU on possible errors.

  But PLEASE please do it without this operating system called vista. Take rather the UBCD4Win to check your memory. The tool that comes as a downloadable image of www.ubcd4win.com is a live XP system with a bunch of tools on the bridge.

  Try it and then decide. Don t think that the side obscure (Vista), be a Jedi. (XP, linux) :)

• Satellite L50T - A047 PSKL6V crash - Win 8 - nvlddmkm.sys

  Hi - I need some help please.

  My computer crashes, even after a complete restoration with the BSOD message above.

  + Win 8 - unexpected Kernel Mode trap (nvlddmkm.sys) +.

  I tried to update the NVIDIA driver, but it will not update. All Windows updates are current as of yesterday. It seems more crash when trying to access file Explorer.

  This machine is 2 months old.
  I could really use some suggestions or solutions!

  I have restored the machine to factory settings and still no problem crashing.

  Thanks in advance...

  * _My machine: _ *.
  Model name SATELLITE L50T

  Find different information about the error:
  + Win 8 - unexpected Kernel Mode trap (nvlddmkm.sys) +.

  The nvlddmkm.sys belongs to the nVidia driver that's why I recommend to uninstall this driver first.
  After the new reboot, you should clean the system using tools such as for example: CCLeaner

  Also look for a "Minidump" folder in the disk Local (c) / Windows and remove this "Minidump" folder located in "(c) / Windows.

• driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has recovered

  Okay, do I still need to remind you all how bad M$ support sucks? I don't think that's clearly stating the obvious...

  Here's my problem: every once in a while, I get the error message in the title, when reading older or newer games, such as FEAR or Gears of War. My laptop is a GX 700 MSI, 3 GB of RAM, 2.1 Ghz dual core CPU Intel Penryn with 8600 GT Nvidia graphics card. Don't DARE EVEN tell me I should do this and that and I need to search the forum or on the web or go to another M$ SupportCenter... was it made... Here is my list of research on M$ answers:

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/search/en-us/?query=nvlddmkm&refinement=113

  I made all this possible described here: more recent nvidia drivers installed, placed my computer laptop in a cooler, conducted tests of RAM to find errors, wrote using MSI (which of course I redirected to software manufacturers) and even went to a dedicated support site Vista... but guess what? M$ is not accepting my activation key for Vista Edition home premium, despite the fact that it came with my laptop and it is 100% authentic... need proof? All updates for Vista are already installed, including the WGA, so there is no problem regarding this key... BUT M$ SUPPORT SITE SAYS THAT'S NOT GOOD! and so I can't continue in my futile quest for an answer to this old recurring problem, which gives not less than 11,300 links in Google... So bad, I didn't have the download option of the screenshot with the errors, I guess that it would have been the only laughable portion of this terrible experience...

  I want all you know that there is nothing wrong with my laptop. (Oh wait, I might have made a mistake: he now has Vista installed...) It worked perfectly while XP has been installed, but the disaster called Vista ruined my life... I am a Linux engineer, so I'm certainly not a noob when it comes to troubleshooting my PC. I wonder how much frustration someone knowing the slightest IT must have when trying to get help from M$, having to click through all the links that don't lead no where and when they do not lead somewhere, it's a dead end or "opinion" useless...

  So after spitting my guts with hate, here is my application: what is the email address, I can use to DIRECTLY send M$ details on the problem? This forum is absolutely no help and has been so for some time now (messages on this case has gone on for 2007...), so I lost all faith in humanity and I ask something USEFUL...... is a simple e-mail address - this too much to ask?

  Hi Dilibau,

  In many cases, users solved the same type of question by install the old driver, uninstall the existing version and using the generic driver as well as update the driver through Windows updates.
  Update a hardware driver that is not working properly: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work properly

• display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered

  So, about a week ago I checked the nVidia website to see if there was no news available drivers for my card (XFX GeForce 9600 GSO) and there was. Installiation was simple then a restart. After reboot, I thought that I would play Call of Duty 4 and after 5-10 minutes of play my screen goes black and it appears with a small warning sign in the region of noticfication "display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and was recovered successfully."

  The pc will be a blue screen with a nvlddmkm.sys error or it goes off and nothing will work
  forcing me to turn off by the power button. I had never met moyenessentiel before you install the latest drivers.
  After looking for some fix on google, I couldn't find
  something solid. So I opened the Device Manager and clicked on graphics cards
  and redeployed the pilot.
  Still no luck. Most of the games I played this error still appeared. I tried all the drivers on the nVidia site
  that are suitable for my card. The drivers on thecd also included witht that card and they do not seem to work either.
  I installed the drivers with Windows Live OneCare disabled, disabled UAC and nothing running
  in the background, such as recommended by nVidia. Still nothing works. I have the Sims 3, Call of Duty 4,
  Call of duty: World at War, Halo 2 for Vista and HAWX installed. The only one
  game I havn't had the error is H.A.W.X
  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium authentic with all latest updates from Windows Update.
  Any ideas? This leads me through the wall...

  Hello PaulFordge,

  Hello go to the temperature settings in the nivida, here's an image Control Panel.,.

  What is your idle temp? If you can load a game in windowed mode and have the temperature to be measured to see if the window is active, what is the temperature under load?

• PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (nvlddmkm.sys)

  Hello

  I used to have a BSOD, DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE, which fixed by updating my Nvidia driver. Now I keep having PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (nvlddmkm.sys). I don't know if it's the problem of the driver, but it's really annoying. My computer freezes at random about 2 - 5 times a day. While watching videos, playing games, surfing on the web and just being AFK. I studied the problem a lot and I have not found a solution for it.

  NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M 2 GB of VRAM

  64-bit Windows 8

  Acer Aspire V3 - 571 G

  If the problem is not resolved, I'm going to get it fixed, it is still under warranty. Although it is like 100 km by bus... :/

  Hi LG33,

  I do not think that you have owned this camera very long, so I'll assume that the graphics card is not defective. This is usually caused by a driver problem. I would say do a refresh on your system (no data loss) by following the steps listed here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc

  Try it, if you still have questions after probably have a hardware problem.

• nvlddmkm.sys error

  I've had Windows Vista for about 2 weeks now, and I've done 4 fees installs try different confgurations for this error to the LESS to a minimum. When I use the operating system 3d treatment, I get the error...

  "Display driver nvlddmkm.sys has stopped responding and has recovered."

  This seems to be a plague of Vista users, on searching the net for an answer as to why, it seems to happen for all versions of Vista both 32 and 64-bit. Happeneing for people using different video card, ATI and nVIDIA chips. NVIDIA users get nvlddmkm.sys error and ATI users get the error atikmdag.sys.

  This error most commonly appens when I'm a game or using a 3D or graphics program such as GIMP and the Blender and rarely when just using the Explorer. The program that I use currently hangs, and I use the "Task Manager" to stop the programme concerned. If I reboot the system, I get this error whenever I'm trying to use the same or similar program. After the reboot, it is just a matter or an hour, it seems, before that happens again.

  For me personally this has happened using 3 chipsets of different motherboard and 3 different video cards. Same scenario is becoming very frusterating. Someone has ideas News on how to stop this?

  Hi V3X,

  Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

  Unfortunately, it is a known problem that occurred in Vista and Nvidia or Ati driver as you said.  It is not a fix for this yet.  There are a few works about depend on the hardware you have.  If you communicate with Nvidia, they will be able to tell you exactly what to do to work around this problem.

  Sorry again.

• WOW/graphics error "display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and was retrieved successfully."

  Help, please. On the next computer I have terrible crash problems while playing WoW. Critical error WOW States: "not enough memory to process command - 11 538 bytes requested."

  When running 3D Mark Vantage I can reproduce the "display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and was recovered successfully.

  Processor Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
  Details of the component
  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 graphics
  4 095 MB total graphics memory available graphic set
  Main hard drive 53GB free (140 GB Total)
  64 bit version with service PAC 2 Vista Ultamate

  Forums are full of posters indicating that it is a Vista / Nvidea incompatibility problem that has been around for years and that the problem is not treated. I tried everything I can think of, check the RAM to download new drivers, to the removal of unnecessary records of WOW. I reinstalled everything, run each diagnostic tool in the plane, patches downloaded, checked for the virus and still no help.

  I am currently able to play WOW on the smaller graphics settings and avoid cities. With this level of equipment, it's a shame, really, I should be able to do more.

  Did anyone have any suggestions of what I can do at this point?

  OK, I did a lot of research on this issue.  The problem lies in the Blizzard, most of the time.

  World of Warcraft is a set of 32 bits.  Because it is strictly 32 bit, it only has access to 2 gigabytes of memory.  Windows manages the other 2 giga of addressable space.

  Most of the developers of games flag their games before the compile time to use larger amounts of memory.  Blizzard doesn't do this, because their anti-cheat system and third-party tools rely on the 32-bit addressing and address 64-bit would mean that they must all be rewritten.

  What happens in the game, is that your footprint large capacity memory card is mapped in the game.  In general, it is when your settings are high, because it uses the most memory, which explains why the game is playable when you use minimal settings.  Given that the configuration of your particular graphics card uses close to 2 gig of RAM itself, quickly force you the game short of memory addressable space.

  To resolve this problem, you may be able to play with reduced settings.  Reduce your resolution is usually the best way to limit the use of memory, since it increases exponential use RAM when you increase the resolution.  You might have to play with different parameters.  You can open the upward Task Manager and monitor the use of your memory WoW game to see where the sweet spot is maintaining your memory under control.

  Blizzard will have to make the difficult choice to eventually allow access extended memory.  More people are buying equipment like yours, this problem will be more widespread.

  It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: (update your video/display driver).

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your
  System. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address
  of the driver, description, version, product name, company that created the driver, and
  more.

  To check system drivers manufacturer as replacements and camera manufacturer who are most
  current. Control Panel - device - Display Adapter Manager - note the brand and
  fill out the template tab of the driver for your card video - double-click - write down the
  the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind
  certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver
  stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd
  evening with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers you have.

  Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration), and then
  Site of the manufacturer of the device (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions.
  (Review of the BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system while there).

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT
  After each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you install
  actually arises. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed
  (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot - check is to be sure
  installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check

  nvlddmkm.sys causes BSOD

  Hello

  I can't boot Vista from a week or two. Just before that the login screen should apear, it crashes into a BSOD, claiming that the problem is the driver nvlddmkm.sys.
  I was checking the Internet for days now (a lot of forums), and it seems to be a 'common' problem, that occur with all the hardware and software of sorts features. I tried almost everything to fix, but nothing seems to work.

  Is there a solution for this problem?

  Compaq Presario SR1909, 7600GS, Vista Home Premium gForce.

  Hi Maarte61,

  Unfortunately, I think would be the driver or the card itself. Since it worked fine, then just stopped. My best guess would be that the card is the issue. You can cancel the driver installation when you arrive at the normal mode? If so, I would try cancel and download the new driver. Or if your in "safe mode with network" I go ahead and download them and ask them to loan. So if you can cancel it, you wouldn't have to go download them. Let us know and thanks again for posting.

  Thank you

• SE error message: "nvlddmkm.sys not answer but recovered" and cannot access Starcraft II or LOTRO

  Original title: nvlddmkm.sys does not

  Just started having this couple weeks message. Killed or damaged at least one of my 9800 GT cards (SLI), which have been replaced under warranty. Who sets the part of the question of the display, but still cannot access to Starcraft II or LOTRO - connect and just get a black screen (have sound, no picture). Then the message "nvlddmkm.sys not answer but recovered" then nothing and having to use task Mgr to close the program. Here's the suspect: update the video driver (uninstalled old, clean install) which again helped a little but the screen remains black when entering the games. While they inspected the files, the file Nvidia\Displaydriver shows the new driver as the device Mgr when I check that. BUT then when I check the directory ofC:\windows\system32\drivers there is still an OLD version of nvlddmkm.sys. I'm sure that it is the culprit, but it won't let me delete it or rename it who were other corrections that I read about. I know that this is an endemic problem with Windows and has been for awhile now. ANY suggestions?

  Hi malomar,.

  1. This only happens when you play Starcraft II and LOTRO?

  You can try to uninstall and reinstall all the programs and features Nvidia drivers and Device Manager.

  Step 1:

  Uninstall the audio drivers from programs and features

  a. click on start

  b. type appwiz.cpl in the start search

  c. search for all driver packages, Nvidia, right click and uninstall.

  Step 2:

  Uninstall the drivers from Device Manager.

  a. click on start

  b. type devmgmt.msc in search, and then press enter

  c. in find Manager device for the device, right-click on it and select the option uninstall.

  After you remove the drivers of these two places, you can try to remove the NVIDIA folder and restart to see if that solves the problem after I installed the generic drivers.

  Step 3:

  To delete the folder:

  one. Click on start and Type C:\windows\system32\drivers folder in start search

  b. click on drivers and select nvlddmkm.sys

  c. right click and rename nvlddmkm.sys in nvlddmkm.sys.old. or delete.

  d. restart the computer and check.

  You can also check the manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers from Nvidia:

  Hey there,

  I had a problem with my NVIDIA 7100GS video card driver, because I did an update 04/11/2010.

  the problem starts after rebooting my computer, the screen has crashed and a massege displayed saying "display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered" that is of course after frozed of the screen in black, then blue screen appears and the computer restarts.

  I've logged in safe mode and it worked fine, I guess it did not work on the graphics card, I use since I checked it using command "dxdiag" where a massege notavailable showed. However, I rebooted to new then vista automatically downloaded and istalled the pilot, and once again its crashed.

  I downloaded and installed newest dirver for my map on the NVIDIA site screen, however, it would not solve the problem.

  Some have said that it's a ram problem, others said his heat. I don't know that I'm not going to buy a new card.

  so any help will be great.

• Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has recovered successfully after sleep, and then blue screen

  original title: display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has recovered successfully after sleep, then BSOD.

  Well, if not some time ago, we got a Nvidia GeForce 240GT video card. We used an ATI Radion 3460 I think and it worked normally. Then when we got the nVidia card, we started to see the problems. Occasionally, he would show the blue screen of death. I tried to reproduce the error and came to an interesting conclusion. Whenever I put the computer in sleep mode turn off mode 'sleep', I wait a bit and then the login screen appears. I connect and it shows me the "display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and was recovered successfully. Then after that, if I go on YouTube and try to watch a video, the computer hangs and a BSOD would leap upward. I am angry. I used "standby mode" so and with the new map video, everything got worse. I tested this problem on Windows Vista and 7. And btw, the drivers are up-to-date, I made sure the driver nvlddmkm himself file is up-to-date, and temperatures are perfect.

  update the drivers from NVIDIA. Also make sure that your power supply is powerful enough to handle the new nVIDIA card. "A programmer is just a tool that converts the caffeine in code" Deputy CLIP - http://www.winvistaside.de/

• Driver nvlddmkm has stopped working

  Hello people,

  I'm having a problem with my Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit and my video card drivers. Lets start with the specifications of the system:

  AMD Phenom Quad 2.3 ghz processor
  Corsair XMS 2, 2gig 800 mhz dual channel DDR2 (x 4)
  Card mother XFX 750 a
  Ultra X 3 modular PSU, 1000watts
  GPU GTX280 XFX in SLI (x 2)
  Map the auzentech X - Fi Prelude

  I've been running this PC in single GPU mode with only a GTX280 since January 2009. I didn't notice if yes or no result by adding the secondary GTX280 in May 2009, but the pilots were fault quite often lately and cause more problems than ever. I tried two cards individually, and they both seem to be functional. I've been on nvidia driver 185.85 when this problem started, and I am now under pilot 186.18.

  Here are the symptoms. Whenever I go back to my PC and remove the screen saver, I see an error message waiting for me in the form of a warning (bottom right of the taskbar) bubble warning me that the driver nvlddmkm has stopped working and successfully recovered. I also had a problem from my games once, each of them was riddled with snow/static on the screen, only heavy gaming GPU of course. This problem has been temporarily fixed by rebooting windows, but I also had snow on the screen while trying to watch a movie with Cyberlink PowerDVD 9, in a separate incident. Crysis has had the strange shadows in the graphic durning gameplay, but I tried to play again at a later date with no problems.

  After all that frustration, I tried reinstalling the drivers but was hit with a blue screen of death during the uninstall process. I tried to uninstall again, nothing serious has happened, so I reinstalled the driver nvidia 185.85. I always have the same messages on my task bar afterwards. Shortly after, nvidia has released their 186.18 driver which I installed it. I am always the same question, and this time I tried to play Far Cry 2 and the PC crashed after a few minutes. I played the game for over an hour before without incident, this problem seems quite random and inconsistent.

  I visited several forums online nothing helps. No one there seems to know the solution to this problem. Some of these forums are older than 2 years. Are microsoft and nividia both ignoring us? What is a single Vista problem?

  I've spent thousands of my hard earned money to build this dream PC and this little problem of driver throws all my efforts and money in the trash. I am frustrated beyond belief. Please help me.

  Senvae,
  This is a common problem, and more often the cause are associated with heat.  If you run a lot of power in a case with a single case fan, it is very possible that you have problems with heat.  Even though your graphics cards have their own heat sinks, you must still more air on this kind of material.  I'm sure that your motherboard supports temperature and voltage monitoring so you should be able to install a utility, if you don't have one already, that warns you when the temp or voltage gets beyond the normal limits.  Try to run with the case open to allow for more air flow and / or try to run with only one graphics card.  Both ways would reduce the build-up of heat inside the case.  There could be other causes, but the heat is a very common cause of this error.  Other than that, uninstall and reinstall the drivers, by disabling hardware acceleration, running with a barrette of RAM and disabling Aero Vista theme were all fixes for this error, if it depends on each system.

  Let us know if this information was useful or if you need further assistance.

• video card error message, "nvlddmkm.sys has stopped responding and has recovered."

  My computer has an nvidia 9800 gt. Since then, a week ago that I am unable to play a video game, or use windows media center. If I ever start a video game or windows media center the program crashes and I get the error message, "nvlddmkm.sys has stopped responding and has recovered." A few times, I get a message from the blue screen and the computer needs to restart. I reinstalled the drivers and even restored software from my computer to the original factory condition. A year ago I noticed my computer screen would get dark, as if I was wearing sunglasses. I want to restart my computer and the screen would be normal again. I was wondering if my video card burned to some, and if I need a new video card. The average temperature of my videocard 76 degrees Celsius, is 167 degrees Fahrenheit.

  The best sources of information would be Nvidia Support, their documentation online and their
  forums. Try to remove ANY power and reseating the cables (both ends, memory and cards
  When possible) - in fact, remove and replace - do not just tight. Clean the dust bunnies
  and vents. Make sure that the internal fans are working and trying to use a small fan to blow
  directly into the inlet to see if that helps.

  NVIDIA - drivers - use OPTION 1 to manually enter your info driver to get the most recent drivers.
