Hi everyone,

I would massively appreciate any help I can get for this, it's driving me absolutely mad and I'm pulling my hair out trying to solve it.

I've installed a fresh copy of XP x64 recently but am being constantly interupted by blue screen errors. They only seem to come when doing one of two things:

1. Playing a game
2. Running a P2P application

Curiously, I seem to have solved #2 by moving my DIMM's from slots 1 & 2 to slots 3 & 4 on my motherboard. But the system still falls over about 10-15 minutes into playing a game.

The extremely unhelpful Windows error message tells me it's something to do with device drivers when I log back in, although I have no idea what it could be or even if that's true. I'm running the most recent nForce Windows x64 drivers so I can't imagine there's any problem there.

Can anyone help? :( :( :(
