Alright, firstly, the specs. The computer is/was a Sun server that a friend used and modified to run Windows XP, then he upgraded it and eventually gave it to me. The specs are: Dual-Core AMD Opteron Processor 1218, 2.0GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT.
This computer will typically do one of three things, usually several times during one period of time. Sometimes it will restart without warning, sometimes it will freeze, and now recently (because I set it to do so) it will show me the BSOD instead of simply restarting. However, there are times when it still just restarts and skips the BSOD.
The BSOD error is stop: 0x0000008e and it references the Nv4_disp.dll. I found this exact strain in aumha: " Games: “Stop” Error Message That References Nv4_disp.dll {KB 325730} Flight Simulator, other games (wth Nvidia-based video adapter) " However, the link provided, which lead to a microsoft page, no longer exists, so I do not know how to proceed from there.
Normally, the computer will restart or freeze while I'm playing a game (I.e. Half life 2, WoW, Borderlands, even old games like Starcraft and Diablo) There have been times when it has restarted for no real reason at all, and even sometimes immediatly AFTER restarting. (That one actually made me laugh. Granted, I was already rather peeved at my inability to solve the problem.)
The computer is clean on the inside and out. It's not overheating. I detect no problems with the ram. Occasionally it will think my graphics card is a network card, but I managed to solve that problem for the most part.
Note that, at times, it will have NO problems at all and run perfectly fine for days on end, only to go batsh*t insane with the aformentioned problems for a few hours to an entire day. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
