Hi.

My computer has got a big problem.
It crashes, not to desktop, it restarts.

I use XP professional on a Pentium 2,2 Ghz with 512 mb DDR-RAM, 60 gb harddrive and a GF

Ti4200 128 mb 8X.

Sometimes it doesnt reboot directly, instead the motherboard pc speaker beeps, lets say 20

sec then it says "press any keey to reboot" (in dos).

Its just when I play games like Colin McRae Rally 3 and similar, load the Graphic card.

Sometimes just when I started the game, and sometimes when playing a stage. Not regular.

Here is the error message I get when the computer have rebooted.
BCCode : 1000007f BCP1 : 00000008 BCP2 : 80042000 BCP3 : 00000000
BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 0_0 Product : 256_1

When I send the error message to Microsoft anlyzis I can read that it has something to do

with "Error Caused by a Device Driver".

This is the errors stored in the Logbook at the time of crash. The eventlog started just

before this error:
System Error
Felkod 1000007f, parameter1 00000008, parameter2 80042000, parameter3 00000000, parameter4

00000000.

Does anyone know what could be causing it? Is it hardware or driver related??

I have installed more RAM memory, upgraded from 256 to 512.
I have updated the graphiccard drivers from nvidia.
What else could I do??

I hope someone have any clues.

Best regards.

I have now disabled the "Automaticly restart" in the Start up and recovery panel

So now it just crashes to desktop
But why is it doing that?

Click to expand...

Just in games?

Could be heat, a loose videocard or bad drivers or DirectX installation.
 
Just tried to play a game just when I started it now. The temperature hadnt gone over 30 degrees celcius yet
It crashed
I have the latest Direct X, and updated drivers

Yesterday I got a different bluescreen after a crash (played Colin Mcrae Rally 3), it was darker than ordinary bluescreens
It said I have some problems with drivers. But which?!?

Could it be solved if I format my harddrive and install everything again?
 
I think I solved the problem. I installed new drivers for the AGP port, downloaded them from ASUS homepage.
