new graphic card hasn't solved the crashing issue I have but having banged my head against my desk a few dozen times I think I'm closing in but the solution is evading me,

Event ID 41 is used for reporting heaps of different issues...

Got any extra info on it?

Maybe use the button to Copy the entire event to the clipboard, then paste it in here?

There is a method you can employ to get more specifics, this involves using the windows debugging toolkit. What OS?

Post that up and I will post a guide when on my pc.

win7 pro 64bit version

[B16Enk]

Same as me.

As my PC is also randomly BS I will document the steps and required downloads.

[Zooly]

My pc is dual boot and the win xp seems fine, its certainly a Win 7 issue.

[B16Enk]

Well it is ZoneAlarm causing my reboots..

You will need the Debugging Toolkit:

http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/debuggers/dbg_amd64_6.11.1.404.msi

Download and install that.

When install is complete:

Start -> Debugging Tools for Windows (x64) -> WinDbg (Right Click and 'Run as Administrator'

You will see this:

Enter the line below:

You should see this:

Click link and..

Looks like they forgot to pay the hostng bill for their forum!!

I'm sure I read ZA was not compatible with Win7 64 so I never installed it. Using the free AVG one.

The problems started with the ATI card (definite driver issue) but continued with the Nvidia card, upon closer inspection it seems one of the two 6 pin plugs didnt plug and clip properly so it fell out, now things seem pretty stable as I made sure it clipped. thanks for the assist but there can be no cure for user errors

[Zooly]

XP is screwing up also

[Zooly]

Did some RAM tests and they are fooked, back to the shop with them methinks.

[B16Enk]

Well RAM was #1 suspect on my list..

Glad you are on way to resolution, Dxdiag looks good BTW.
