ok so i recently built a pc for the first time
i got a deal i couldnt pass up on a mobo cpu and ram
so this pc can run just fine for hours
then all of a sudden it just resets itself
and when it resets itself it usually does it over and over again
then it gives an error message talking about corrupt drivers
i thought to my self hey i dont even have a driver for my vid card
i didnt even know what my vid card was (the guy i bought the mobo from gave it to me since the mobo has no onboard vid)
so i used a program aida 64 (it is the successor to everest) to identify my vid card and get the proper driver for it
and still it keeps happening to me
so then i ran the driver verifier as the eror message suggested
and that then gave me a list of three drivers
driver name: ati2mtag.sys description: ati radeon windows nt miniport driver
driver name: nvatabus.sys description: NVIDIA nForce(tm) ide performance driver
driver name: tcpip.sys description: TCP/IP protocol driver
the ati is my vid card it is an ati x600
and the nvidia thing is a chipset on the mobo
and call me stupid but i dont know what this tcp/ip thing is
i really just dont know what to do from here
please help me
the mobo is an asus p5nsli
and i am running xp pro performance edition
oh
and here is the EXACT error message that the pc gave me
Check to make sure any new hardware or softwre is properly installed.
If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer
for any windows updates you might need.
Run the driver verifier against any new (or suspect) drivers.
If that doesn't reveal the corrupting driver, try enabling special pool.
Both of these features are intended to catch the corruption at an earlier
point where the offending driver can be identified.
If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components,
restart your computer, press f8 to select Advanced Startup Options,
and then select safe mode.
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen,
restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow
these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or softwre is properly installed.
If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer
for any windows updates you might need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware
or software. Disavel BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.
If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart
your computer, press f8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then
select safe mode.
