Yes I google and got lots of stuff - but it doesn't tie in.
Since I first put together my current main rig about 6 months ago, i've been getting a Windows Stop error, about once a month. But lately its becoming more and more frequent and today I can't even get into Windows. It is the same error codes each time.
Sorry about the size, but my laptop has no image edit facility.
various websites report that it is caused by a faulty device driver/faulty hardware or dodgy memory. MS KB articles point to memory and device drivers. So taking out cards one by one till only vid is left didn't solve. Swapping in a different vid card didn't fix either. Changing memory dim pairs nope. Reinstall windows twice. Nope. Also tried different/older drivers for hardware. Tested different bios settigs inc 'Fail Safe Defaults' and 'Optimised defaults'
MS also suggested to download and run a memory tester which I did and left running for five hours last night. No errors found at all.
MS also suggest to download and run a kernal debugger which I have done but there are no files in C:\windows\minidump - its empty! How can I get the dumps? (and don't say immodium!)
Please help!!!!!
Hardware specs in sig, expanding:
P4E Prescott 3.2 @ 3.2 (I have sorted temps now - 48 idle)
2GB 4x Crucial 184 pin dimm 64mx64 ddr 3200 unbuff np cl3
Video Connect3D Radeon 9800Pro and Asus Geforce Fx 5200 and Hercules Geforce 2 MX 400

Please?
