In my case the error is related to a new optical drive, and high throughput coming in from it even though the system was otherwise idle. I have CL2 rated ram on an athlon xp system, and this is the only time I've run into it. To fix it i followed several steps suggested by previous messages in this thread. So try some of this, it might work for you. 1. disable anything you're not using in the bios, so in my case com/lpt ports. i have an AC96 onboard sound chip, but this was already disabled so that definately was not the problem. 2. reset the .. DCMS? i forget the correct name, but you'll find it in the bios, in the plug and play/resource section... this stores the information on peripherals in your system, if you have recently removed/moved any cards, it may not have recognized the change. this would also (maybe) assign different IRQs to things, but that didn't seem to be the problem either. 3.reinstall your video drivers. i can't go past 44.03 with my geforce3 card and stay stable, and the post-detonator (ForceWare??) series will not even install. i suspect this may have had something to do with the error, as my machine was crashing when simultaneously de/recoding video data from a dvd. 4.replace the programs which are causing the crash. make sure you have the newest version. 5.reinitialize your memory page file following the steps in the QB article mentionned in one of the above posts, apparently if it becomes corrupt, you may get this error. i believe, however, that i setup tweakUI to delete the page file upon shutting down the system, so that also shouldn't be the cause. That's it, that's all i did. no ram shuffling or case cracking of any kind.. i suppose i'm lucky. good luck!
