Re: Windows XP Pro Random Reboot

Since I typed this thread I have had it crash on me about 5 more times. I
sent the report to Microsoft, but this time it was different. I got the
"Error Caused by Graphics Device Driver" and I did what the web page said to
do. I set the hardware acceleration to "None" and removed the check from
the checkbox that says "Enable Write Combining". I also did what you said
and set the verifier and will wait to see "if" it happens again. I have
only seen these problems with the NVidia chipset video cards. I have a
NVidia GeForce FX5600 (that I took out of the machine) and now I am running
a GeForce FX 5200 and I still have the problem.

Thank you for your time,
Jason N. Schoppert
