CPU:AMD Athlon 64 Processor 4000
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-K8NS ULTRA 939
Ram Speed, size and #sticks: 2.41 GHZ, 2.00 GB (I think two stick)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500
PSU (do not leave this out):ATX 12V cooler master RS-350-AMSR
OS: Windows XP Professional Vers 2002 Service Pack 2
Problem began when trying to run Sonar 5, it started crashing (Freezing up) about a few minutes into each session. When I try to play video games the computer would completely reboot. I changed my system settings to show me a BSOD, and now the comp just goes black with a blinking cursor instead of rebooting.
As far as Audio Applications, Cubase SX 3 seems to work okay, but I think thats because I haven't started using the plug-ins on my secondary drive (where I keep my music files, plug-ins, softsynths, etc). Sonar had all those things installed in its configuration.
However, the secondary drive plays no part in my computer gaming problem as far as I can tell. I install it on my C: drive, my main hard drive where windows lies. I thought based on Event log that it was my video driver, but I updated it. I also attempted to update my BIOS and believe I suceeded although I've never done that before.
I've attached my most recent Minidump file. In the Event Viewer, under "Service", I get "Service Control Manager" as the source of the error. Thanks for any help
