so his network card may be sharing an IRQ with his video card.... might wanna check that out...

also he may not even need an Ethernet card if there is one already intergraded in the motherboard...

Actually, physical proximity has little to do with IRQ assignment.

*** STOP: 0x00000001 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

Beginning dump of physical memory

This Stop message has four parameters:

Memory referenced.
IRQL at time of reference.
Type of access (0x00000000 = read operation, 0x00000001 = write operation).
Address that referenced memory.
Resolving the Problem
For additional troubleshooting suggestions that apply to all Stop errors, see "Stop Message Checklist" later in this appendix.

Stop 0xD1 messages can occur after installing faulty drivers or system services. If a driver is listed by name, disable, remove, or roll back that driver to confirm that this resolves the error. If so, contact the manufacturer about a possible update. Using updated software is especially important for backup programs, multimedia applications, antivirus scanners, DVD playback, and CD mastering tools.

Try downloading the Omega Drivers and see if those make any difference. If not, it might be a hardware problem with the card.

It sounds to me like a hardware problem. If you've got another video card sitting around try it and see if it works.

Install the Microsoft Debugging software so you can read the Minidumps. Thats how I pinpointed it was my ram.

I believe the minidumps are in [localdrive]:\windows\minidump

MS Debugging website:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtoo...g/default.mspx

Make sure you read all of the instructions carefully. You will have to set up to download the debugging symbols too.
