if the memory has errors on it...what good is cleaning it going to do?

and in that last screen shot, it had an error on file nv4.disp.dll....isnt that an nvidia problem then?

try a new vid card, try a new stick of ram you know is good. Try a new power supply

is it overclocked? clock it back down to default

Umm.. Maybe I'm misreading.. can't quite tell if you're really thankful, or if the linky I provided made you feel stupid? lol.. Hope it was the first part. All it's stating is that there are, as referenced in one of the screen shots, some faulty drivers causing the problem.

just cause something is "new" doesnt mean it cant have any problems

and as for a new card, I ment a different card, other than nvidia. Because that one file nv4.disp.dll is an nvidia related file

can you atleast get into safe mode? or does it blue screen immediatly on start up?

all my other vid cards are pci and in storage

and are 3dfx's

nv4.disp.dll--- i only got that error pnce or twice after i installed sp2 with bf42

and bf is not installed nor is sp2

I was told that Test 5 errors are bad ram. What are your ram timings at ?

Try dropping the ram frequency below 100%. Try 80%. I had a stick of Samsung 512megPC2700 that would only run at PC2100 speed.
