Windows Protection Error with T-Bird

[Vector]

I recently upgraded from 700 @ 875 to 1100MHz (waiting for the conductive pen to overclock) and my computer runs faster than ever...

There is just one annoyance--every once in a while when I shut down my computer, I get this annoying "System Halted--Windows Protection Error" in the ever so popular blue screen format...

I thought at first it may have been undervoltage to the processor because I'm running 1.72v (with A7V voltage mod) and am holding off for 1.8 when I overclock, but the system is stable in every benchmark or torcher test I've thrown at it...

If anyone has any advice please feel free to post it...
thanks

I had something like that on my ASUS P3V4X with my Celeron II 700 @ 877...it was my sound card...try updating your drivers for all of your hardware including bios and if that doesn't help...take out all your cards except for video and see if it gives u errors, if it doesn't then put them in one by one until u get errors. When u find which card it is i have no i dea what to do. If still no go change your video carfd and see if that is the problem. HOPE I COULD HELP!!!

how are you cooling the tbird? that might have
something to do with your problem...

c_p.. was your soundcard a soundblaster live? if so, then your prob was most likely the old sblive drivers/coppermine incompatibility problem, and won't affect him.

It could be the sound card drivers, but I think it would have shown up earlier...I have an Aureal SQ2500 with the last driver release before they went out of business...

The thing is, windows never did this with my old 700 @ 875 and now it will give me that protection error--but only when it shuts down and not all of the time...

I have an Alpha PAL6035 with arctic silver paste and my trusty delta fan whirlwinding air into the heatsink, so heat really can't be the issue here--I think it has something to do with undervoltage of the processor because it's only being run at 1.72v--voltage mod did that--and it's supposed to run at 1.75

but the problem doesn't show up in benchmarks or any tests I have thrown at the system, so I'm not sure if that is the case...the simplest thing to do would probably be to raise the voltage to the next step (1.80v) but I want to wait until I clock my processor to 1200 or 1250 before I jump to the 1.8v mark...get it used to running at that speed with that voltage

copy all the number`s and letter`s go to microsoft and search there data base this might shed some light on your problem

Do you have an nividia card? If so, do you get that protection error after you play games? If not, i have no clue. If so, try drivers and such. Oh, and official drivers, I hear there are nasty fake ones going around nowadays.

a couple of things that u might check first off as earlier stated u might try putting ur sblaster live card 1st in line from the agp slot giving that card first pick of irq sblaster live cards require 2 irqs and then the rest of ur cards after.something the local computer shop told me about.also if u go to the windows update they have recently found a bug that that the have a patch for that allows windows to save it's data before it shuts down.with systems being so fast windows wasn't saving all of its data before system powers off.
good luck.
