windows xp crashes with nvidia + dual monitors

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

Ozgun,
Please find the 5-10 most recent minidumps located at
c:\windows\minidump and send them to vidoca@microsoft.com. I will analyze
the minidumps and get back to you on what is causing your system to crash
and any suggestions I can make on how to fix the problem.

hi Lance,

Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate it. I fresh installed XP on
my desktop for a second time today, and decided to install drivers &
stuff one by one (with one-two day intervals in between) to see where
exactly problems start appearing. I have lots of minidumps on my
second (old) harddisk, but that machine was in a "completely messed
up" state, so I'd rather save the opportunity for this new harddisk.

I will send an email when my machine starts crashing again,

Thanks a lot,

Ozgun.
