I got to the NVIDIA Control Panel, but I couldn't find Device Settings or Performance. Here's a picture of what is displayed:

If you can't control fan speed from the NVIDIA Control Panel, try using a third-party utility.

Please download and install EVGA Precision from here. (Click on the Download (America) or Download (Europe) link, then scroll down and click on I Agree.)

Run EVGA Precision. On the right side, you should see Fan Speed and, beside it, an Auto button. Click the Auto button so that it is no longer selected, then change the Fan Speed to 100%. Now, go to the left side, and on the bottom, click Apply.

Ok it worked. It was already at 100% though, and I turned off the auto. Can I just keep it running or can I exit it?

Also, do you think its a good idea to download those older drivers that you had in your other post? I have the newest ones installed. And before I installed the newest ones, my computer was still giving me the BsoD.

With the fan at 100%, do you experience any more problems? If so, then try my other suggestion (reinstalling older drivers using Driver Sweeper).

2.41 GHz, 3.00 GB RAM (However I have 4, 1 GB memory sticks)

Could this be causing a BSOD?

A 32 bit OS such as XP will not utilize 4 gigs of memory and typically only see up to 3.5 gigs of memory.
If the issue has resolved itself then the culprit was that the fan was not running correctly to allow it to cool the correct way.

Ok, it gave me the BsoD again... it gave me the bugcode_usb_driver message again... And I was only watching a video. So I'm guessing I do need a new driver. I've decided to get the $40, the SAPPHIRE 100175L Radeon X1650PRO. Do you happen to know if this card works for every computer? Such as the Antec Sonata II?

Ok this is the same error as before.
Do you still have the USB Headset connected?
Please disconnect it and then try.
Do not connect the headset back in till we are sure.

OK now see if the BSOD happens again.
If not then the problem is connected to the usb

Happyrock i wasn't starting my own threads. :)

I was quoting what the original poster said and i thought maybe this was what could have caused his BSOD
