Hi there, i have a problem where my computer reboots and displays the message 'your system has recovered from a serious error'. This usually...... always happens when i play games and sometimes with other things im doing.
Im not sure why i thought to do it but i unplugged my modem and disabled norton antivirus and everything was sweet, no crashes or reboots.
When i finished playing the game and enabled norton again it immediatly reboots.
Does this mean anything?
Is it something to do with blocking or something amazingly sinister where we can write novels about it in the hopes of it being made into a movie?
This problem only happened after i installed a Geforce fx5200 graphics card.

Did you try up[censored] both the chipset and graphics card drivers for your system yet ?!?
 
I would try this first and if you have not updated to DX9.0c, then do this as well.

Yea i've updated the drivers and i've downloaded DX9.0c, not quite sure how to update the chipset. Im sure its something simple but even the simplest things can be annoyingly evasive
