QUOTE (bgmann @ Apr 29 2005, 08:49 PM) I get a blue screen of death a few times a day. Whether im surfing the net, windows at idle, or gaming it doesnt matter. Ive got new drivers for my USR 56K modem, my MSI Neo Platinum device drivers, GeForce4 5700 card driver from NVIDIA, and Creative Labs 16 PCI sound card. This is what I get...

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.

Beginning dump of physical memory
Dumping physical memory to disk: {starts counting up from 1}You think its power supply? I have generic 350W. DO you think its memory card? (Kingston 512MB DDR400) Or what you think?
That error code is important and so far i can only find that error code appearing in windows 2000. Here is the microsoft page on it.

QUOTE If this is the first time you have booted after installing new hardware, remove the hardware and boot again. Check the Microsoft Hardware Compatibility List to verify that the hardware and its drivers are compatible with Windows 2000. For information about the hardware, contact the supplier. If you are installing Windows 2000 for the first time, check the Windows 2000 system requirements, including the amount of RAM and disk space required to load the operating system. Also, check the Hardware Compatibility List to verify that the system can run Windows 2000. If Windows 2000 is loaded and no new hardware has been installed, reboot with recovery options set to create a dump file. If the message continues to appear, select the Last Known Good option when you reboot. If there is no Last Known Good configuration, try using the Emergency Repair Disk. If you do not have an Emergency Repair Disk, contact your technical support group.
My guess is this might also apply to XP.
First try to remember if you changed anything right before these BSODs happened. like installing a new driver or installing a peripheral. Check your system device manager, go to control panel, system, hardware, device manager. Check to see if you see any exclamation points.
That power supply could be causing the problem, 350watt generic is pretty bad for an a64. I have a Mad dog 350 that has 22A on the +12v line and its ok. But the question is how many amps does your power supply ahve on it. If the power supply isnt powering enough of the system then that would cause the BSOD.
So you can either replace the power supply, which I would do no matter what, but if that power supply doesnt fix the prolem, reformat the drive.
