[hdavuluri]

Hi,
my system restarts irritatingly without any warning. Could u plz help me out?

Have reinstalled windows & got a new power supply... the prob just doesn't go away..

This is what i get after the computer restarts:

Windows has recovered from a serious error:

MY SPECIFICATIONS:

Windows XP SP2,

2 years of exhaustive usage

the error code sounds like a video card problem. is it an onboard video? btw this would explain your 448 mb of 512 mb = 64 mb shared video memory.
try to find the latest whql driver and try again.

my two cents

Is this - http://www.ocworkbench.com/ocwbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=print_topic;f=30;t=004925 your mobo?
If so, it's not an asus and it doesn't have onboard graphics.

I think thats the board because I didn't find it at asus.com
but...
the link you posted states this:

EXCLUSIVE ASrock K8NF4G-SATA2 NF4 integrated graphics board (nVIDIA GeForce 6100)

correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't that mean onboard graphics?
I am not much into desktop pc's....

cheers, mscrx

Sorry, my mstake, I couldnt see a vga connector. It must be hidden below the other sockets.

yes, I don't see one as well but its in the text:

it comes with integrated NV44 DX9.0, PS 3.0 and a max shared memory of 128MB.

which also confirmes my shared memory theory

Yup, oversight on my part, sorry.
