Seemingly random shutdowns on a newly built system, HELP!

[cpopperwell]

Please HELP! Please help me find out why this PC is crashing.

Hi everyone, I hope you can help, I'm having some strange problems with a system I have just rebuilt for a friend.
Clean install WinXp Home and all the updates, drivers and wotnot.
I've tracked it down to whenever we start playing a game.

Here is the Bug check
0x000000a (0x00000004, 0x000000ff,0x00000001, 0x804f8a19)
and I've attatched the dump file.

The system is a Compaq AS5020AN, running...
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
2.00 GHz, 1.00GB of RAM
ASUS ATI Radeon 9550GE

I match the ram to the FSB and CPU bus for optimal performance.

Please if anyone can help I will be very grateful.
Chris P




I have done some more reading and managed to expand the DMP file but I'm still not quite sure of what it all means, here it is...

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000004, memory referenced
Arg2: 000000ff, IRQL
Arg3: 00000001, bitfield :
bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
Arg4: 804f8a19, address which referenced memory

I have run Memtest and it found ) errors,
The system has brand new (1 week old) ram and brand new Graphics card.
I rebuilt the system with a clean install and everything.
I'm at my wits end trying to solve this.

Any help you can give me will be appreciated

Your windows are crashed without pattern. Especially it crashed 3 times at kmixer. Kmixer is a stable routine. If it crashes, it is related to faulty ram. Run Memtest to stress test the ram or reseat the memory module to another memory slot.
