sending bug reports to Malfador?

Yes that's the one I did. I turned it off and the next time it just rebooted as before. Yesterday I tried to open a QT vide that ended up being corrupt and the system froze before a blue screen appeared telling me to reboot.

Tonight I blew out all the dust with the air spray but it rebooted as before after I only managed to do 1 turn. I have updated XP, and I got the latest driver for my Video card. Before I only updated directX. I just finished playing for what I would consider a reasonable time and no problems appeared, so fingers crossed/knock on wood I may have fixed it. I hazard to be more definite as I'm slightly superstitious and to come out with any definite conclusion might jinx me for it to happena gain

You can always review the crash messages in the system event viewer, under administrative tools... Usually a bit more informative than just what was on the BSOD.

Thanks, I was trying to figure out where error messages were. If it should happen again I'll know where to look.
