problems at shutdown

[stevebvt]

Lately I have been receiving a lot of "Program not
responding" messages at shutdown. Most often it is
NVIDIA (I think that's the display driver), but it can
also be IE, Outlook or others.

System sometimes freezes and won't respond to C-A-D.

When this happens, I get the dreaded "This system has
recovered from a terrible error" mesage at start-up.
After I submit the error report I am usually told the
problem is attributed to an undetermined faulty driver.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi,

Did you mean Serious Error? If so:

Use one of these three options.

Right Click the My Computer Icon/Properties/Advanced/
Performance/Settings/Advanced/Change.

1. Set Page File to 0, ok your way out and reboot. Then follow the same
procedure and reset the Page File to System Managed File.

2. No Page File. Reboot. Then delete C:\Pagefile.Sys then revert the page
file setting.

3. Set the swap file size to zero, reboot. Re-set to System Managed,
reboot. Reset the Custom setting, reboot.

You Receive a "System Has Recovered from a Serious Error" Message After
Every Restart
