Blue Screen of Death!!! Win XP Pro SP2
Hello once again guys/gals, I've got a good stumper for ya. My computer crashes about every, oh, 4 hours or so if I'm doing anything on it. if I leave it running idle, it's fine and dandy. Sometimes it will crash during games (GTA3, Black&White, 4x4 EVO 2, etc.) and normally gives me the Blue Screen of Death error for "ati2dvag.dll", sometimes while browsing the web, it will crash with "Win32k.sys" as the problem. my specs are as follows:

Thanks!
Same thing, different error...
GRRR! Same blue screen of death, just now I'm getting page_fault_in_nonpaged_area
and no specifics on whats wrong.
its almost to the point of letting some friends take my hardware and send it to battlebots...I'm tired of this thing.

Hmm, didn't think of temps....
Thanks Gabriel and Confus-ed for the replys, to answer your q's, I have run a memory diagnostic from Microsoft, turned it off after 32 passes with no errors. my temps are: case: 38*c, cpu: -48*c (?), sensor3: 0*c. and it lists the voltage, RPM of fans, and cpu mhz.
ATI drivers: wxp-w2k-catalyst-8-062-040929a-018115C, newest drivers, still having problems. Should my video card be listing with/as a secondary? it all seems strange, first time to ever have a problem like this. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
anywho, I'm off to work, thanks for the help! I'll keep any other errors listed and up-to-date on this thread.
Back to the drawing board....
I don't know what kind of crack this computer is on, but it's really starting to get to me.
I'm having the same problems with the GeForce 4 MX 440 that I had with the ATI 9200SE. ...except the GF4 is much slower (64 MB ram instead of 128 MB ram on the ATI). So, later tonight I'm going back to the ATI, and I will try to contact the Ebay person I bought the compy from, to see if they can send me the original drivers for the ATI 9200SE. I would LOVE to format the drive(s) and start anew from scratch, but the compy came with XP Pro Installed, and no disks for anything.
I tried removing SP2 to see if that was the case, but without SP2, the crashes come even faster than before. I'm going to hold off on the re-install of SP2, so I can at least get the correct drivers up and running before I do it all over again.
I've received a variety of error messages, the error reporting always says a "Device Driver" but it is unknown what driver it is or what caused it in the first place. it mostly happens during graphically-intense gaming, but it also happens when I'm browsing the web. even a couple times while I was trying to post on here.
I'm getting desperate to find a cure for my computer's addiction to crashing, and I'm willing to post any and all information that is asked for, even what size shotgun shell I'm thinking about using to turn the computer into mulch with. (20 Guage buckshot, btw).
most of the BSOD's are for a .dll file, either ATI3dvag.dll, ati3duag.dll, NVsomething something something...all my video device drivers. (the drivers for the current video card, of course. I'm sure to uninstall the previous drivers before adding the new drivers to their respective devices). Thanks again for the help, if anyone has another idea for the ultimate demise of this compy, let me know, I might just record it and post it someday.
