OK.. I had this exact same thing happen, I was fine till I plugged in 2 chips (2x512),
Dual Channel DDR400 Corsair. I solved it by turning the speed down from 400 to 333
in my bios, worked perfectly for 5 months this way. This got me to thinking mine
was actually a heating problem.
So today I went down to Fry's electronics and bought 2 Copper "iceberg DDR memory
Heatspreaders" for $7.99 each. Before at this setting, I would be lucky to last more
then 1 hour in "Star Wars Galaxies" before I would receive the error. Sometimes it
was win32k.sys , other times it was the nv4_disp.dll, it was totally random.
Well needless to say I've been playing (SWG) for the past 9 hours without 1 incident.
Not one! The only thing that has changed is the copper heatspreaders I added. Might
be worth a try for someone else.
I couldn't stand the idea on PC3200 running at PC2700 speeds. hehe. Anyways Good
luck I hope everyone gets this worked out in the end.
