if you have installed the latest nvidia drivers then this could be the problem. 1st time i installed the new drivers (180.48 i beleive) i got BS in Left4Dead but re-installed them and havent had it since.
 
tried new gfx drivers old set

completely remove any form of GPU drivers before you install any more new gpu drivers. im quite sure that the new nvidia drivers are to blame and a quick hunt around other forums suggest the same.
 
If you really want to test the ram, just run memtest86 on them over night to see if it comes up with any errors.

After that you could eliminate out which is the faulty stick. (If you actually have a faulty stick obviously)

Yeah, run driver cleaner as well after removing the old drivers, always helps.
 
just done it removed drivers with driver sweeper and driver cleaner after that installed 180.48 set restarted loaded up tmn and crashed 5s after loading the track :( ill run memtest over the night and see if i get any errors :)
 
tried 178.24 set still the same :/ if memtest wont find any errors ill just repair windows xp maybe some files are corrupted.. :)
 
Heh, I have the following if he realllllllly wants to :p

169.21, 169.28, 169.44, 177.79, 178.24......:rolleyes:

;)
 
so tried everyram stick still the same i read some things about this error and some people saying it could be related to hdd?

wouldnt think so. i would think more along the lines of repairing the files in xp and seeing what that does. but like you said, run memtest 1st

Asus video driver? Why are you using that anyway? :p

What card you got?

asus 8800gt and i do have nvidia drivers it's not the actual video driver for games it's some kind of codec and real time overclocking utility :o

Ah ok, that makes sense.

I have an annoying ai booster thing on my motherboard.....Which requires an Asus driver, luckily it hasn't caused any issues yet.
