Probably the videocard drivers

HOW many versions of the videocard drivers are installed?

Are these from the mobo maker's site? Or the mobo CD

15.23_XP32.exe? Or did you install any driver?

I have installed Windows XP fresh. I used the drivers stated in my previous post. I do not have multiple driver versions for the same device.

The motherboard driver was downloaded from evga.com yesterday. The videocard driver was downloaded from nvidia.com yesterday. These are the latest stable drivers. I can't be any clearer than that.

729450 2008-12-18 02:27:00 Since this looks like an Nforce mobo, you didnt install Nvidia firewall did you?

If it gave you an option in one of the driver installs?

If you did, uninstall it

729451 2008-12-18 02:30:00 I did not install the firewall. I learned that lesson a long time ago. ;) Neillithan (14415)
729452 2008-12-18 02:38:00 Good lad :p

Umm well, it looks like its a common thing with COD4

Here for instance (forums.nvidia.com)

Have you tested the memory to see if its faulty?

729453 2008-12-18 02:45:00 Okay I'm going to say this one last time because I am almost ready to end this thread.

No, it is NOT caused by Cod4 or games in general. The BSODs take place AFTER or BEFORE running cod4, NOT during. I'm almost certain the BSODs are not caused by COD4. Games in general do not cause the BSODs.

Also, I have performed a memtest with memtest86 and there were no errors.

I respect you trying to help me, I really do... I just feel like I'm running out of patience.

729454 2008-12-18 02:50:00 Well take it back and replace it or get a better mobo

See if it does the same thing.

If its not the game, the drivers or the ram, its the mobo, PSU, or something you didn't do, when you assembled it

There's not a lot of options left.
