Hi, for some reason every time I attempt to launch certain programs (such as game demos and cd based games) it starts to load the game but then windows restarts. After it loads back up I am presented with the message that Windows has recovered from a serious error. Here is the error signature
error signature
BCCode : 1000008e BCP1 : C0000005 BCP2 : BFA278A7 BCP3 : ADE72AF4
BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 0_0 Product : 768_1
I ran a program checkin for worms and ran both Norton and AVG anti virus but I am still having this problem. Thanks for any help!

You can't have 2 antiviruses running at the same time, it tends to really screw things up.

Although the cause of the problem is not the same for me I was also shown the screen about Windows recovering from a serious error. This is probably not the best thing to do, but, I reformatted my hard drive. Haven't had any problems since.

Reformatting erases everything and starts from scratch if thats what -Clayton20- wants to do.
Trying uninstalling a antivirus and see if that doesn't help before reformatting.

ddp could be right. It could be spyware. Just coming to these forums, you get spyware on your computer. Fastclick is the spyware you get when entering these forums.
I have it blocked with AdAware's AdWatch.

Ok, I uninstalled AVG anti-virus and ran spybot search and destroy. Spybot found 3 things and "fixed" them. I then restarted my PC and still have the same problem. Im not very computer savy and would not at all like to deal with a reformat if that is possible. Here is the info you asked for ddp-
Windows XP Home Edition
2 sticks of ram. 1-256 (got with pc 2 1/2 years ago) and 1-512 (about 2 months old).
Again thanks for any help guys!

Hey!
Clayton2, are you running an NForce2 chipset and do you play Battlefield 1942? Is there anything that you have added or changed before this problem started?

Hey!
Did your problem start when you added your new ram?
If so, remove it and see if it persists.You should try to keep Ram the same. Same Density(single or dual sided), same size and preferably same make.

Hey!
It seems that you run into problems when you put stress on your video card and memory. Try updating the drivers for video. What card are you using? Go to Event Viewer and see if there are any errors.
Start
R click My Computer
Manage
Event Viewer
Check Applications and System for errors and/or warnings at the time of reboot

Hey!
Check the Event Viewer. I'm assuming the error occured jut before windows rebooted--that's why it rebooted.

Hey!
This points generally in the direction of bad/old/conflicting drivers.
Go to this link and scan your computer for drivers.
It will tell you which ones are outdated.

Hey!
Do you have two video cards? What were the other results:Are you above 80%?
Has that program helped any?

Hey!
What is your video card because it appears you have two sets of drivers installed. Nvidia and ATI.

Hey!
You have to uninstall the NVidia.
Start
R click My Computer
Manage
Device manager
on the right side of the screen click on the + beside Display Adapters
You should have the ATI 9200.
If there is anything else R click it and click uninstall-- you are looking for NVidia drivers.
It may ask you to reboot.
After reboot, try the games and see if you get errors.
