re: Question about 'Top reasons for random, fatal crashes in Windows XP and Windows 2000' Tuesday, May 13, 2003 at 9:12 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by thom blaylock (5 messages posted) I fixed my problem. The motherboard had a tiny crack on the backside just behind the agp slot. I checked the spacers and the ones gigabyte shipped with the m-board were slightly different sizes. I think what happened was that pushing in the video card messed up the board at the crack or perhaps somewhere else. I think the overall problem with win xp and 2000 though is that its error messages are pointless, not just to lay users, but also to the 'highly experienced support staff.' They didn't have any idea what the error numbers meant. not that it was a windows problem, but . . . makes me want to use linux again, at least I wasn't supporting some huge hulking corporate monster, even if their products are slick.
