So according to an earlier post you started with 128Mb. Then you took out the 64Mb DIMM from slot2 and it ran fine. That means it worked with a 64Mb in slot1, but when the 64 in slot1 is replaced with a 128Mb DIMM, then you have problems again? This is as you've reported. If all this is true then more than likely the 128 and the original 64 from slot2 may both be bad. Try both 64's in slot1 one at a time. If they both work fine then let us know and we'll put our thinking caps back on.

Used to manufacture all sorts of machines.
Had this error more with network cards and sound cards.
Do you find this happens when the computer is going to run something specifically orientated around hardware....
I.E. Accessing a sound file and the message pops up, video driver, etc
Oh....Memory causes the same error.
I agree with you chaps.
ok sorry iy im confusing you with the memory-- here's exactly what has happened::
1. The computer originally had 32
2. Put 64 in second slot--- everything fine
3. Took out 32 in slot 1- put 64 in slot 1. Problems occures (not exact time of switch)
4. Took computer in to get memory tested-- both 64 chips reported fine.
5. Couldnt solve blue screens-- so took 64 out of slot 2-- computer worked for a bit
6. Computer was too slow, so took 64 outta slot 1 and put 128 in. Leaving 128 in slot and notihng in slot 2,, cause slot 2 seemed to be the problem
7. A while after blue screens started coming again-- thats how computer is now
Also what brand memory? Some of the generics are NOT compatable with e-macs.
Agreed. I would crack the case and make sure the CPU and box fans are both running. If possible, check the RPMs on the fans to make sure that they are within Intel's specs. This is usually done in the BIOS.Quote:

how exactly do i check them??? I'm kinda a computer newbie
Most newer machines will report fan speen and cpu and system temp in the BIOS.Quote:

Replace the memory with Kingston Memory<h1>Dont put junk Memory in your Machine</h1>There is a differance in memory and yes you will pay more for quality Memory be sure to check if the memory is PC-100 or PC-133 SDRAM. After you replace the memory FDISK the Drive and reinstall Windows. Be sure to do a full back up of your files first.
Is there any specifics on the fatal exceptions...as to any vxd files?
