Please help with GE FOrce 3 and Windows 2000/ XP

[TeABaG88]

I have a GE Force 3 card with a P4, 256 mb RDRAM and an Intel 850 Series motherboard. I get Blue Screens of Death all the time in windows ( Also i am not overclocking anything whatsoever). I get them when playing a game or just even surfing the web. As soon as i load up a game, say Max Payne, it will load and then gives me a BSoD. I also get BSoD's when surfing the web or just doing something normal and I get random application crashes (not BSoD's) in addition to this. The only way that I can get my system stable is to turn down the hardware acceleration slider. This however disbales all Direct X so i cant play games or surf the web. I have done both a clean install of Windows XP Pro, with only my GE Force 3 card installed, and also a clean install of WIndows 2000 pro with just my GE Force 3 installed. I get the same type of errors in both OS's. However when I had Windows 98 installed, it worked fine. I believe that my problem is either bad RDRAM or a problem with my ge force 3 drivers in Win 2000/ XP. I currently have nvidia's 23.11 drivers installed. Has anyone else had this problem or heard of problems with the GE Force 3 in Windows 2000 / XP. I have heard of the 60 hz refresh rates problem and downloaded the fix for this but i still get the BSoD's. I get my different errors on my blue screen but usually they are either PAGE_FALUT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or it lists win32k.sys . I have been troubleshooting this for over 3 weeks and I am currently at a dead end. Thanks for any suggestions...

First of all, even I used to get the same "Page_FALUT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA " error. I am using both Win 2K and Win XP. My video card was a GeForce 2 Pro. But the solution wasn't even closely reated to hardware. I had installed AVG Antivirus and it was which caused the problem. Now, in the case of your system, try restarting the computer in safe mode and see if the error persists. If it still persists, try using the detonator drivers which came with your hardware. Before doing any such thing, disable everything that starts up except systray. This should mostly solve your problem. Let me know.
