Here is one for you guys. This refutes a good deal of the suggestions that are up
here (sorry). I am running a watercooling system on a P4 2.4GhzC with a GeforceFX
5900 and 512meg of dual channel Corsair matched pair XMS pc3200. Nothing is overclocked.
I have tried MSI drivers for my card (44.03 specifically made for MSI cards by MSI)
I have tried the latest detonators. I have tried WHQL certified drivers. I have
tried the original drivers WinXP(SP-1 with all updates). I have tried updating my
system bios as well as all the applications in use when the system crashed. Mostly
I would get PAGE_FAULT error with nothing specified but a few times I got win32k.sys
and nv4_disp.dll. I downloaded the debugging tools from microsoft and ran a debug
on the MINIDUMP file that was written. I can tell you where/how to get these as
well as the command line needed to run to recognized what specifically caused the
crash. I can tell this is not a heat problem for me as my temp never goes over 30C.
All the parts are brand new in this machine. It is not hardware. The only thing
this could be that people have suggested is the service pack 1 or the video drivers.
Anyone have any other ideas?? or comments on my experience?
