Should I just go back to Win 98?!!!!! Should I maybe just jump off a cliff!!! I don't even know anymore,HELPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Any suggestions or complete solutions will be gratefully taken!!! Thanks

Try running the computer with the case sides off.
Swap out your RAM.  Cricket

I agree with Cricket on RAM swap. XP is particular about RAM. If you can lay your hands on some quality RAM such as Crucial, Kingston, Micron ect. try that.

Your problem may possibly be caused by the Zip Drive Drivers or from the updated video card drivers. My money is on the Zip Drivers.

I do vaguely remember (don't know whether this sheds any extra light on matter?) that I turned the option for the computer to restart automatically after an error occured off and when the next error occured it came up with a blue screen, this is the vague bit, it said something about a win32k file? and something about memory cache? Is this relevant?

serious system error
King Pacino,
I'd definitely look into purchasing some new sticks of RAM. I had similar problems a few months ago and after replacing the MB, CPU, Video Card, and sound card, i still had problems. It was only after replacing the two sticks of memory did my problems stop. Give it a try, also you might look into getting a new video card when, the GEFORCE-4 MMX series is not the best for gaming. |

"Your System has recovered from a serious error"
I saw in another forum (possibly the Miscrosoft Windows XP forum) that such an error can result from an XP problem & that there is an update to fix it. But if you already have all the latest XP updates then that obviously isn;t the problem. |
