So I keep getting this blue screen with nvlddmkm.sys being the culprit. I know its the graphics card, and I have tried literaly all possible fixes for this. I can boot into safe mode or normally without drivers, but in that case i get "squares" on dark colors. Im just wondering if the card is dying, since before the driver used to crash often and I had to re-arrange the RAM in order to boot. Its a GTX 560 btw.
 
Replace the nvlddmkm.sys file with a newer
version
During the
installation of most graphic drivers in Windows
8/7/8.1/Vista, an old version of nvlddmkm.sys is
copied into C:\Windows\System32\Drivers and not the
current one in the install. As a result the new drivers
are attempting to access the file dated 2006 instead of
2010
Step 1: Download and install the latest graphic
driver.
Step 2: Then go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers and
rename nvlddmkm.sys to nvlddmkm.sys.old .
Step 3: Go to nvidia directory (usually in C:\Nvidia or
C:\drvvganVidia) and find the file nvlddmkm.sy_.
Step 4: Copy the file to your Desktop directory.
Step 5: Open cmd.exe by going to Start -> type cmd
in the search box and hit enter.
Step 6: Change the directory to Desktop by typing
chdir Desktop.
Step 7: Then, type EXPAND.EXE nvlddmkm.sy_
nvlddmkm.sys. Or,
expand -r nvlddmkm.sy_ nvlddmkm.sys
Step 8: When the expansion is complete, copy the
new nvlddmkm.sys from your Desktop to C:\Windows
\System32\Drivers
nvlddmkm Stopped Responding – Step 9: Restart
your computer and the problem should be resolved.
