Hmmm...Just got a notice reminder about this thread and thought I'd bring in a bit
of feedback since my errors.
So my PC was going haywire with 0xc0000005 and 0x1000008 errors, general instability
etc. So I did a mass reformat, wiped everything off. Before reinstalling XP Hoem
I flashed BIOS, then after installing OS I installed all the latest drivers for all
my hardware (and mobo). Errors came up when I installed Zone Alarm but dissapeared
after uninstalling. Then I kept getting 0xc0000005 errors (exceptions not BSOD's)
whilst playing certain games (the PC would reboot from bugchecks after that as well).
I solved this by degrading ATI catalyst drivers from 5.7 to 5.5. Now all games run
great, a few instabilities still in the higher end ones (Farcry/Half Life 2) but
thats probs cause I play them on MAX graphics :P
