Run prime or orthos for a good while and see if it errors. If not then you might want to reinstall drivers, maybe the OS and find newest drivers for everything.

5 minutes is not enough of a test in Orthos. You need at least 15 minutes to an hour or two for prelim testing, then a good 8-10hrs (or 24hrs for you hard core bastiges).

Well, looking at your post you're just trying to BSOD purposely, right? OCCT and Orthos will BSOD if the CPU or system becomes unstable under the stress. I'f you're not OCing your chip, and the BSODs come randomly, not much else you can do but play with your BIOS settings until you get a combo that will be unstable. However, take caution when doing this. It could be any number of things causing the BSODs.

Just for stress testing, OCCT custom test for 15 minutes, Medium Data Set, at high priority is a good start. You can increase the time, or let it run an Infinte test at the same settings...should BSOD...

Well, the latest version of OCCT has a GPU stress test you can try, tho I've never used it.

Hope that helps!

Well, I tried to search for help on your specific error code, but couldn't find anything pinpointing it.

I did, however, find an older page with a lot of info on all sorts of Windows error codes here.

Hope that helps.

Is this the same error from before? nv4_disp.dll is going to be a video card driver problem. I would uninstall your GPU drivers and run a driver cleaner to get them off your system and then download and install the correct, up-to-date XP 64-bit drivers (I think that is what you said your OS was) from Nvidia's website.
