Hardware Error Restarts Computer

[imported_Solace666]

Every so often, I'd say once a day, my computer restarts. The system shows this error message, which has to do with a hardware problem. Maybe it's the RAM maybe not. I cannot figure it out. Any help would be awesome.

I did make it so it does not restart but the error did not happen again yet. Thanks for the links, gave me some ideas. I'll run memtest but i have a feeling it's the graphic card for some reason. Anyway to test for a bad/messed up graphics card? I do have a BFG, which has a lifetime warranty and helps me out. if it is the graphics card.

Update ALL your drivers, especially including video and chipset.
Run MPS Reports and send me the resulting yourcomputername.cab file. See my .sig for details.
Zip and send me any dumps found in c:\windows\memorydump. This will tell me what the problem is.

Find details in my .sig.

Got the dump; they don't point to a driver, so I'd suggest swapping out hardware until you find the issue. The graphics card would be something very easy to swap and try ...
