I completely agree with Madman here guys, I had the exact same problem with continual
errors from win_32k.sys and nv4_disp.dll always shutting my system down. I bought
two new stick of TwinMOS 512MD DDR400, and STILL had the same problems however after
checking my BIOS, I found that it had Memory Frequency set at AUTO, I changed it
to 356, running a bit slower than its full potential but since then, over a week
now, NO CRASHES!
It seems that this setting was overclocking my memory into an unstable state, I recommend
to anyone having this problem that they check thier memory settings. I'm totally
convinced that its all due to memory speed problems.
Good luck.
