Fatal Exception Error Message Online

[Orangeman]

Hey Gang,

Every so often when I sign online I get a blue screen error message that says "A fatal exception 00 has occurred at:

0028:00001802

Press any key to continue. When I press ESC, and refresh, my computer gradually recovers and I am able to continue working.

What does this mean? Is this just a minor glitch or something more serious.


Here are my computer Specs:
Duron 850 overclocked to 892mhz. K7SEM MObo,Onboard Sound(AC'97) &Video (AGP4X); IE6; Netscape 7, WIN98SE, 2-HD's 1st 12G. 2nd 10G.Epson C60; Visioneer Scanner, INTEL Videocam; 17" Monitor, SONY CDROM & CDRW, 56K, AOL 7.0; MS Word 2000; Command AV., & over 40 Games

Hi NooNoo,

Thanks for the information. It makes sense too given the cheap mobo I have. However further experimentation yielded the following results.

I have a program called Cacheman 5.11 that I carried over from my other computer. Eliminating it from the start-up menu corrected the problem.

Thanks,
Orangeman
