Try changing the IDE driver to the MS one. I had to do that for my brothers NF3 system I built for him. It seems there are still issues with Nvidia's IDE driver.

I've had nothing but issues with the Nvidia IDE driver, never load it. I never load the Nvidia hardware firewall for their ethernet controller either--had a huge issue with it pegging my cpu and causing me to not be able to reach some web sites.
That error can be memory but if it's not happening anyplace else it's doubtful that's the issue.
In the bad old days XP had a bad bug where on some systems a certain system register would get overloaded, usually when playing games due to the heavy memory and video use and the whole thing would come crashing down.....that issue was signaled by that error message. That bug is supposedly long patched in XP, if you're using service pack 2 then you are patched, I believe it was patched for the first time in service pack 1.
That could also be some kind of registry mess, I recommend crap cleaner highly www.ccleaner.com is the url I believe.
I've also had a couple of games that would crap if the game directory got too fragmented so if you haven't defragged recently give that a try too.
Latest video drivers and all other drivers too (chipset etc) are another good thing to do just to cover the bases.
That one is most often memory or video driver related. Good luck.
Just an idea. Check your bios and make sure your memory is set to the voltage that the memory manufacturer recommends. They dont always auto detect the correct voltage, most default to 1.8v. Mine are 2.1v.
