The bootvis link in Grandad's third link is very useful, as is my link in Grandad's 2nd Link for tracking down specific problems.
We need more information about your motherboard to help you narrow things down.

I have a Asus A7n8x Delux, AMD XP 2400, Nvidia G Force FX 5200 128 ddr, A cool master pro case(think that is what it is called), A Maxtor 80 GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache, Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer, and 768 MB ddr Kingstons , I hope this helps if you need any more info just ask me.Quote:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to you computer.
If this is the first time you’ve seen this stop error screen, restart you computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacture for driver updates, try changing video adapters.
Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates Disable BIOS memory options such as shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart you computer, press F8 to select advanced start up options, and then select safe mode.
Technical information:
*** Stop: 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, OXF7943DAB, 0XF79666B4)
*** nv_agp.sys – Address F7943DAB base at F7943000, Date Stamp 3d7903e1
Part or all of problem is nVida drivers or card .Quote:

Are you using a PCI graphics card?
Because if you are...
Reinstalling the latest nForce2 drivers will not help resolve this AGP Bus Filter driver problem.
But.. rolling back from nv_agp.sys to the default MS driver might.
Here are the steps:
Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> System devices -> NVIDIA nForce2 AGP Host to PCI Bridge -> Properties (right-click) -> Driver -> Driver Details (here you should see 2 drivers; nv_agp.SYS and pci.sys).
To rollback to the WinXP default driver, clilck OK to close the driver details window, then click Roll Back Driver from the Properties/Driver window. Windows will ask you for confirmation and then it should switch to the pci.sys.
I've seen the same problem mentioned in a A7N8X discussion forum elsewhere.
Also, you might want to get the latest BIOS for your board. ;)
Yes I amQuote:

What was I suppost to do?, If I swap back to basic win XP drivers will my graphics still be as good?
Not much point in having good graphics if it only displays a blue screen....
Adept gave you instructions to roll back the driver to see if that is indeed the cause of the problem. Worrying about your fps and graphics quality is something that can be done when the root cause of the problem has been defined.
I can use my computer normally I only get the error when i shut down my computer.Quote:

It is very hard to troubleshoot without seeing your system and without your co operation.
aight man sorry about that I am going back to the default windows drivers now.Quote:

I think you need to provide some more detail. Like what is the problem you are experiencing that makes you feel the need to roll back, and what device is giving you the problem?
The short answer is probably yes...downloading a more current driver may correct your problem, whatever that may be...
Let us know if it solves your problem. ;)Quote:

Please roll back and test whether you get the blue screen or not.
Yeah man, just disregard what I said...I was replying to the thread you started for a reply by mistake. Stick with NooNoo on this one.Quote:

Adept's solution worked great for me! This problem had been plaguing me for a year. Thank you so much for your help and concern.Quote:
