I get a blue screen right before shutdown on Windows XP.
Its a fresh install of winxp, my video drivers and sound card drivers are up to date.
geforce 2 gts and a aureal vortex 2 sound card.

I hit shutdown, it says windows shutting down.. and all that.. then right before it turns off, the blue screen pops up for a fraction of a second and i cant pause it in time to see what the problem is.

And since the blue screen pops up, Shutdown doesnt work, and it just resets the computer.. so i have to manually shut it down.

I've written about this before about a year ago, and someone gave me a very good solution, and it worked, but after reinstalled xp, i have long forgot what i should do. :)

any help would be appreciated. thanks!
