I've had problems with XP crashes for about a year now.
They usually happen when I run some program that uses
graphics aboundantly, typically a game. It seems to me
that the computer overheats. Sometimes I get a blue
screen, sometimes not. I've submited an error report to
Microsoft OCA and got an unspecified "Error Caused by a
Device Driver". The report is visible at
http://oca.microsoft.com/en/Response.asp?SID=77.
I've tried everything I could think of, including
changing all possible drivers. I'm pretty certain the
problem first occured after I installed an nVidia driver
recommended by Windows Update. I realize, that one
solution to the problem would be to format my hard drives
and reinstall everything, but that would include backing
up about 40 GB of data and I simply don't have the time
to do it.
It would be great if someome at OCA reads my post and
offers me assistance. Or some ordinary forum-reader that
has encountered a similar problem.
