Blue Screen of Death, yay!
Posted: Mon May 01, 2006 2:20 am
Ok...so I've been having problems with the almighty blue screen of death...the sound goes all buggy and the screen goes blue and says "now dumping physical memory" and all kinds of stuff, I can take a picture of it if needed...
I searched the forums about my problem and found a post that resulted in the person updating their sound drivers, pretty much the same sound card as me, so I did that. I also updated my graphics card drivers. I still get the blue screen of death from time to time, but it's not as frequently. It's still a major pain though, and seems to happen at crucial points while playing Quake 4. Is there anything else I can do to fix this problem? I have a slightly crappy graphics card, the Nvidia GeForce FX 5700, there are many worse out there, but I guess that might be effecting it? I have no idea...
for reference:
Video Card: GeForce FX 5700 (teh_suxX0rs but fully updated drivers)
Sound Card: Audigy 2 ZS Platinum (updated drivers)
2.8Ghz Intel Pentium 4 CPU
Windows 2k (fully updated)
1 gig of RAM
and I also have like 5GB of HD space left...would that effect anything?
