Constant Crashing in xp

[andru]

i have constant crashing in xp with sp1 installed i tried to get answers a while back but with no luck as i don't think i explained it very well.I've taken a snapshot from the event viewer and hopefully from seeing this you can tell me how i can stop these. I have tried the link in the message but no page is found


Thanks

this is not a reply to your specific question, though i hope this will be useful for you to my sense, i understand that you have tried to crop the Event Properties box from the background, didnt ya? i guess you print screen the desktop and edited the picture. if u did so, i got a better way. press ALT + PRINT SCREEN when the Event Properties opened and active. by that you will get a screenshot ONLY on the Even Properties. hope this will be useful for your ease.

Somehow WinXP can't handle your hardware in a right way, but I guess you knew that much already. I don't understand, since you say this problem orrurs since you installed SP1. Weird.

You might try an BIOS upgrade, these usualy fixes such problems; you not the only one experiencing the problem, I expect more people do. So it's likely that some fix is available by now.

If even an BIOS upgrade doesn't fix this, you might wanna try something silly; in your bios disable ALL P&P and Power Management setting, and reinstall Windows. Windows won't understand Power Management, and will install without ACPI support.
You have to turn off the machine manualy everytime you choose to shutdown though . . .

would this work by installing windows over the top of my setup or a complete reinstall?
