Start troubleshooting. Sounds like you should start with the video card. Try swapping out with a different one and see if the problem continues.

Nah, that error is consistent with either overheating or bad memory, download free version of memtest 86 burn to disk and boot off of it, run those tests for a few hours to see if its Bad memory. Now for overheating, make sure all the dust is blown off of the heatsink and fans, blow it off all parts and make sure there is adequete cooling, such as you should have at least a fan in the power supply and 2 fans in case, 1 blowing in and one out if there isn't consider adding more fans.

i have that problem as well with a neighbor's pc...she had 240 virii and it always came up when she clicked on aol...go figure...i cleaned it out w/ compressed air and put a better virus-scan on...haven't had a problem since...

i think i have fixed the problem.... i think i installed nforce4 new drivers and disabled the nvidia firewall and active armor completely

 

[killians45]

was gonna say to install the MBD chipset drivers. Also, sometimes P2P software can do this, resinatlling the network drivers (DUN or whatever) may fix this.

some people computer will give the BSOD if they have the nvidia and xp firewall installed and on at the same time. you will get the same thing with Zone Alarm

when you have SP2 you have to turn off windows firewall when you install a new one
