WTF!

Okay, I am running a dual boot of Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP RTM and I keep getting this message where I get a blue screen and everything stops and I have to reboot when I play 3D games or watch videos. These operating systems are supposed to be like uncrashable or something? Im running TNT2 M64 Pro and Windows 2k/XP detonator drivers. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm betting you're running a system with the Via chipset on your motherboard. If you have the MVP3 variation, Win2k may not be cooperative. I tried running it on my system for a while, installed the 4-in-1 drivers. Windows didn't recognize it as ACPI compliant, and I experienced many of the same problems you have.

If you're running something else, well then I guess it's just a coincidence.

I had that once, due to my POS modem.

Now I got cable and XP, so it's all good.

Yeah but incubus it does it for me on XP too! ;[
I got cable as well.

I will try installing the 4 in 1 VIA drivers, I dont know if it will work. I am running 1.3 ghz socketed athlon.

I had that problem, and my computer would randomly reboot about every 2 days, until I replaced my ViA 133 motherboard with an AMD 760 motherboard. The 4-in-1 drivers helped some, but I still had problems.
