my computer is stuck in an infinate loop
Help computer techies, my pc told me today that it was stuck in an infinate loop. Something to do with my "nv4.???" driver. I cant remember the last three digits. Anyhow can this be fixed by totaly rebooting my pc, by puting in my system restore disk?

rebooting should fix it, at least for a while.

Re: my computer is stuck in an infinate loop
Don't do restore yet. As a test, boot into safe mode (do this by restarting and before windows comes up, keep tapping F8). Go into your device manager and remove your graphics driver, reboot and see if you have an infinite loop then. If you don't, you do need to upgrade your graphics driver.

Re: my computer is stuck in an infinate loop
Actually according to the link that FRPLG posted, it seemed like an easy fix. Just click on this:
