Hello,

I have a blue screen problem that i can't find a solution to!

I recently bought a new graphic card: Radeon all-in-wonder x1800xl. Installed it on a clean system (did a reformat before i installed).
The problem occurs after usually 30-60 minutes of gaming (so far with oblivion, black & white 2). The game freezes for about 30 sec and then goes into blue-screen mode.
The message is as follows:
Kernel-Data-inpage-error stop error screen
then there are a lot of numbers etc.
I have sometimes noticed a slight change in fan noise prior to freeze (speeding up)
After reebot everything's back to normal.

My system is relatively new (a year and a half or so), i have:
Windows XP pro SP2
Asus P5AD2 deluxe motherboard with integrated sound-card
Pentium 4ht, 3.4Ghz, 2GB ram.
all my drivers are up-to-date as far as i know. The ATI drivers are certainly up-to-date

I have run some fix-it-utilities diagnostics and found no error or the like.

I previously had an ATI Radeon 600 series card, on the same system. Never had a problem with HL2, Far Cry, or whatever

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Zurzu
