nvlddmkm.sys BSOD

nVidia BSOD nvlddmkm.sys - Vista Hardware Devices

I was running an Asus laptop with an Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT video card (with a driver from April 30, 2009 obtained via the Asus Update utility) in it running Windows Vista Home Premium. Everything was fine. Suddenly it crashed and i got a BSOD msg referring to
nvlddmkm.sys

Looks like some glitch with the Nvidia display driver and Vista.

I found this forum with the solution.
What worked for me was:
- Boot into Safe Mode
- Run, cmd, sc delete nvsvc
- restart computer
- In the Display properties, change it back to Aero.
- Done

Everything seems fine after this fix.
