Random booting

[Guest]

I recently did a clean install of win XP Home Edtion from win 98SE. My system was radomly rebooting while surfing the net, playing the spider solitaire etc. I disabled the automatically restart option, so it would give the blue screen with the information on it,upon a system failure.I did my research here in the news groups and the net and still have the problem. Only it's not rebooting now, but I get the blue screen with the technical info on it. In my own opinion, i believe it could be my video drivers. I would appreciate any help. First here are my system specs

OS WinXP Home Edition SP
AMD Athlon XP 1800+ 1.53 GH
30 G Hard Driv
Video Card: Geforce2 mx/mx 400 64 MB(latest drivers
Sound Card: SB PCI 51
512 MB RA
DirectX 9
40 X CD-RO
MOBO: ASUS A7V8X (BIOS 1013
VIA KT400 Chipset DDR 400 (latest drivers

Ok here is the information from the blue screen: It said, disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing (should i disable these?)
Technical information:***STOP:0x0000008E (0xC0000005,0xBF9d9988,0xF11617C4,0x00000000
***nv4_disp.dll-Address BF9D9988 base at BF9B7000, datestamp 3d36dca
Begining dump of physical memor

I tested my RAM and it's fine.

I`d go into the BIOS and " load the default values " and only alter what you
need to get the PC booted up.

See http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm and click the 8E on the left to
get links. General description is

"0x0000008E: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
(Click on that page to consult the online MSDN article.)
A kernel mode program generated an exception which the error handler
didn’t catch. These are nearly always hardware compatibility issues
(which sometimes means a driver issue or a need for a BIOS upgrade). "

nv4 makes me suspect that you need updated drivers for an nVidia
graphics card

Thank-you for the info I will try these suggestions. I already downgraded my video drivers to a more stable set 30.82 for my NVIDIA card. I am now getting a new error stop:0x00000050 which I found info on and will try the suggestions there.But also in the same error message is win32K.sys-address BF862E08 base at BF800000, date stamp 3f73195d
I am still looking into this one.

How do you Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing? Where in the BIOS would I find that

Should I downgrade my BIOS version?

Your BIOS is specific to *your* computer's motherboard. They are
not all the same, so nobody can readily tell you.

But there normally aren't many screens or many options. Just look
around; they shouldn't be hard to find.
