Have a friend running a 1.4 Athlon on an Epox 8K7A (AMD 761) board. He upgraded to XP Pro, ( from WinME), but gets BSOD when running 3D games, w/ the "dumping physical data" error message.

The card is an ATI, prolly a 7000 or 7200, w/ 64MB SDRAM. Plays Diablo II OK, just messes up w/ the slightly intensive 3D games, including sports games.

I don't think the mobo chipset drivers or BIOS have been updated going on two years now, nor the ATI drivers.

Could updating any or all of these help this prob? I believe XP Pro was installed w/ SP_1a.

Thanks for the help, if you guys have seen this error message before.
