Plugging in second monitor causes XP x64 to BSOD

[asdf2345]

Every time I try to plug in my second monitor, no matter what ports I use, or how I arrange them, it's always a BSOD

 

In XP x86, there's no issues, dual monitors work just fine there, but I'd prefer XP x64, so I can see and use all 20GB of my ram
 

My specs:

(Taken from 7 as that's that I'm currently booted in)

Try 340.52 drivers and report back please.

340.52 doesn't support the 900 series

This apparently might fix this problem with the multimonitor. Fits the error you have- PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.

Make sure that you have the 368.81 GeForce Game Ready driver installed using this guide: https://mattpilz.com/windows-xp-drivers-nvidia-geforce-gtx-970-980-980-ti-titan-x/

That fixed the issue, thanks

I also was already following that guide

Since due to the recent nvidia "revamp" of the forums which looks like utter s***, the original topic has been deleted for no reason whatsoever, which is sad considering nobody could archive it, couldn't expect the unexpectable. Fortunately, by researching through my browser history, I could be able to find the direct link to Tal Aloni's fixed driver here. Just in case, I also archived the link by wayback machine, so if the original link goes down, you can just input the url in web archive

Yep, only for the record it is also in the post by Tal Aloni here:

I recently bought a second hand GTX 950 specifically to be used in a dual-boot environment where Windows XP x64 support is still needed. much to my chagrin, whenever two monitors were connected to the card under XP x64 using the latest driver (v368.81), the OS would BSOD with PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA in nv4_mini.sys

I have observed that the issue does not exist in the 32-bit version of Windows XP, and decided to kernel-debug both drivers and find the source of the issue.

fortunately, I was able to figure out the issue and come up with a fix.
The source of the issue is a *signed* 32-bit offset having the value of -1 (0xFFFFFFFF) which on the 64-bit driver is treated as an unsigned value, and thus converted to 0x00000000FFFFFFFF (4294967295) instead of 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF (-1).

Here is a link to a fixed nv4_mini.sys based on v368.81 which does the conversion correctly (yay, no more BSODs!):
http://vm1.duckdns.org/Public/Nvidia/368.81-PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA-fix/nv4_mini.sys

p.s. I have set the patched driver version to v368.82

hopefully somebody else will find this useful!

Anyone know how to do this edit themselves? I read the notes but I don't understand it.

I am trying to modify the file too work with 355.98 (After 355.98 breaks custom resolutions and scaling)

Replace videoprt.sys from WinXP SP1 64-bit

Tried to replicate this problem but couldnt.  Running XP64 with latest 2019 updates, GT710 with two monitors, DVI 1280x1024, HDMI 1920x1200 either 368.81 or 355.98 worked no BSOD.  Downgraded videoprt.sys from latest 5.2.3790.4032 to 3959 from SP2 ISO, still worked.  Only nvidia change from original is that I removed LargePageMinimum from INF as it causes Samsung and Int** NVME drivers to not work (doesnt have problem with win7 NVME drivers).

Looked over 368.81 patch by Tal Aloni, and logic in 355.98 seems like it should work the same.

nv4_mini.sys x64 368.81

jnz     short loc_35611				movsxd  rcx, dword ptr [rsp+68h+var_40]	;swap

mov     ecx, dword ptr [rsp+68h+var_40]		nop nop nop				;nop



nv4_mini.sys x64 355.98

jnz     short loc_37CD2				movsxd  rcx, dword ptr [rsp+88h+var_60]
mov     eax, dword ptr [rsp+88h+var_60]		jnz     short loc_37CD2

 mov     dword ptr [rdi+rbx+0B8h], 6		 mov     dword ptr [rdi+rbx+0B8h], 6
 jmp     loc_37E89				 jmp     loc_37E89

 jnz     loc_37DE8				 jnz     loc_37DE8
mov     ecx, dword ptr [rsp+88h+var_60]		nop nop nop

 

Not quite exactly the same code in assembley, as jmp     loc_357C3 in 368.81 is a little different location (E9 B1 01 00 00) compared to jmp     loc_37E89 in 355.98 (E9 B6 01 00 00).

Since I didnt have dual monitor BSOD problem 355.98 patch is not tested other than to say that it continues to work fine as unpatched version.
