Windows Vista Vista Random Crashing

My Vista windows crashes for no apparent reason. I saw in another post where to download bluescreen reader and have the post for it. I would appreciate it f someone would take a look and see if they can see why I am having this problem. It seems to crash about 4 to 5 times an evening. Thanks

Atleast you are getting that dump error, I randomly get the memory error itself at times and then a kernal_data_error with vista. When the kernal_data_error happens it will lock up the system after a short bit, but it happens to click the hard drive like its trying to fail and i know its not. After a bit, I started to just manual shut off the system when that starts to happen and then start it back up. Its strange, I believe it is a driver issue with vista itself.

If you havent updated your vid driver yet, you may want to see about it. If you are playing a game when this occurs, turn down the resolution on your system. It stop this from occuring so frequently.

 

I have windows sp2 already installed. I downloaded the most recent driver from nvidia and the computer has seemed to stop crashing. I will give it a day or two to see before I post a resolved notice. Thanks

 

it is RESOLVED !!!

The new driver fixed my computer crashes......Thanks for all your help!
