Infinite Loops - nv4_disp (video card error). Needing help please!

For the last few month, intermittently, but -constantly- over the last few days, my computer is freezing up (after I start a program such as World of Warcraft), flipping out, then bringing up a blue screen going on about an infinite loop in the nv4_disp. It mentions something about a physical memory dump and that's is. I need to turn my computer off at the wall to get anywhere. Sometimes I can feel this error coming on, when my screen starts flickering. Here's my specs: Del Dimension DXP051 NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS I have been told to rollback the driver, tried that, still get the problem. I have been told to upgrade the driver, tried that, still get the problem. Anyone have any tips on what else I can try? It's starting to get a little frustrating, to say the least. I would ask Dell for help, but I can't get past the "service tag" question as I have no idea where to get it. Thanks heaps if anyone can help! -Sheri

    Give this long thread a read.  Try at your own risk.  If it works for you, post results so others having that problem can follow in your footsteps.

    Sorry it didn't solve your problem.
     
    Contact your card's manufacturer and find out what remedy they may offer you. 
     
    As a last resort, rma the 7900gs back and buy a Ati Radeon X1950pro instead.
     
    They're very similar performing cards.
     
    Good Luck
