    Can we please have some system specs and a little more detail on when this error appears? What are you doing when it appears?

    Have you installed the motherboard's chipset drivers?

    Try running with just one stick of RAM at a time. You've got some timer routines on the stack, and this is usually a sign of a RAM problem.

    Ive tried 1 stick already but still got some crashes .. last night i changed sticks so iam running on the second one .. so far no crashes - but i also took out my physx card - if i have no problems i will put my physx card back in and try

    The error points to USBPORT.sys. Are you using a USB modem?
  8. keithg Newcomer, in training Posts: 17

    i dont have any usb modems .. right now the onlything usb is my mouse and keyboard .. ive tried a ps2 keyboard and mouse set but the same error comes up

    Spyware, malware infected?
  10. keithg Newcomer, in training Posts: 17

    its a fresh install .. no virus or anything on the computer

    Can you reinstall or update the motherboards chipset drivers?
  12. keithg Newcomer, in training Posts: 17

    It really does no good just to be able to "Read" minidumps, you have to learn to interpret the results...

    Automatically choosing to check memory, hard drives and system drivers, give much faster results in finding the cause of the error in the first place

    actually after that bsod i installed the new drivers for my video card (didnt know they had some new ones on friday) and i changed my virtual memory to be managed by the system .. and so far ... ( i dont want to jinx it ) but no bsod ..
  17. Tmagic650 TS Ambassador Posts: 18,747   +62

    That's good news keithg. It is good to let Windows manage virtual memory. If you had set it manually, maybe your hard drive space is getting low, even with 2 large drives. 2GB of RAM should be plenty though

    I will keep you posted for sure . i am going to put this rig under some stress tonight and see what happens =) wish me luck!
