A graphics card/monitor related problem
« on: March 11, 2012, 02:07:50 PM »

So I got a new monitor which is bigger then my old one and now I can't play L4D2 normally. It seems like all the other games like gmod or gta4 works fine.
So I'm going to tell you what happens when I try playing l4d2. At first everything works just fine and so but after a few minutes of gameplay it freezes and the last 0.1 seconds of the game sound loops for about 30 seconds then instead of normal view I get something like this:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And this repeats every 1-15 minutes.
I have also got an error which says:  The nv4_disp display driver has stopped working normally.
I have not had this problem with my old monitor which was smaller then my new one.
I can't find the solution that could fix this so if anyone has any suggestions how to fix this, please tell me.

You said you installed the drivers correctly for your new card, I'm assuming you deleted the drivers for the old card as well?

I haven't changed my GPU, unless you're talking about the update I did. Well either way, I didn't uninstalled the graphics card before updating it.

Did you try looking up that driver and checking if your new monitor has any drivers/updated drivers? That would be a good place to start since you got that error.

I checked, my monitor driver is up to date.

Update your video driver...

Also if you have a built in Vcard make sure its disabled (assuming you're not actually using it Lol)

I already did and I'm fairly sure I don't have a video card built in my processor because my monitor don't work when I plug it into its slot.
