Hi,

I have an error that occurs often, though not all the time. When I shut down my computer, I get a blue screen that says

Windows Protection error. System halted. You need to restart your computer." I have had this problem for some time and can't figure out what is causing it or how to rectify it.
Please please please help!!!

Thanks

Geforce DDR

56k modem

How do I get rid of that damn blue screen?!!?!?

I've had that problem before.
I just made sure that I had all the latest drivers for my hardware, especially for the motherboard I downloaded the 4in1's from Viatech.
It shutdown fine after that.

Try the new drivers, but i've also had a windows protection error due to faulty RAM. If it happens every so often, maybe the rams going bad. Just a thought.
