Ever since updating to the latest BOINC version for Windows, my laptop gets a BSOD with the message that an infinite loop in nv4_disp.dll was the cause. I have the latest version of video driver software for Windows XP, as well as the latest updates to Windows.

I noticed that I was getting Computational Errors for the SETI Project that uses the GPU, so turned it off and the problem seems to have gone away.

Not sure if this is the correct forum to report this, but there seems to be a problem related to the GPU drivers in the latest version of BOINC software. I never had this problem until I upgraded?

Anyone else have this issue?

nv4_disp.dll is part of the Nvidia videocard drivers. A problem has been reported in the 295.73 WHQL Nvidia drivers, but it's totally nothing to do with BOINC. See this thread over at the Nvidia forums for a lot more complaints and crashes.
