System has recovered from a serious error.

[M!TH°§]

My computer restarted on me and I automatically asumed it was that stupid Alcan worm again, luckily(or unluckily, I'm not sure) it wasn't.  I scanned with ad aware and didn't find a thing.  Anyways, I ran some other programs then cleanup.  After running cleanup, I restarted my computer.  Once rebooted an error message appeared saying: Your Computer Has Recovered From A Serious Error.  This is as much as I could get out of it:

Error signature

   BCCode : 1000008e     BCP1 : C0000005     BCP2 : BF837815     BCP3 : B75FDC3C
BCP4 : 00000000     OSVer : 5_1_2600     SP : 2_0     Product : 256_1    

The Following files will be included in this error report:  C:\DOCUME~1\Daniel's\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER2ebd.dir00\Mini071105-01.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\Daniel's\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER2ebd.dir00\sysdata.xml

Once I sent the error report, it took me to a Microsoft website that said it could of been caused by a driver.  Anyways, I don't know what I should do, if anything.  I found those two files, should I delete them?  Any help would be appreciated.

Just out of curiousity, have you tried other Video drivers for your video adapter
Are you running an ATI card?

I have a Nvidia GeForce FX 5500.  I got the computer close to a year ago.  A few days ago I installed a new driver because certain games keep on exceptioning on me.  Microsoft said it was a driver problem and that I should get the newest drivers.  I followed all the instructions on installing new drivers from the Nvidia website and got the new drivers installed.  Anyways, maybe that caused the serious error, but I had those serious errors every-so-often before I changed drivers(maybe once a month or every two months, nothing big, just annoying).  I don't know if you saw my other post about my games exceptioning, but that might help you.  Here's my other post if you feel like reading it:

This has happened for a loooong time and I am just now tryin to figure out what's goin wrong. The problem originally started off with Halo. I'd be playin the game and after a while of playing the game would exit and a gathering exception data box would appear and after a while it'd have a box that said that an exception has occured and they were sorry for the inconvenience. It'd ask if I wanted to send the error report. It also asked if i wanted to see more data on it. This exception would happen more often and often until i could barely play the game. Well, I figured out that the exception didn't happen on multi for some reason, so I played that for a while. Evevtually, after a loooong time of playin multiplyaer(like weeks) it started to exception. Now, it's to the point where you can play for about 2mins then it exceptions. This didn't happen on Morrowind, until I played a loooooooooooooooooooooooonger time and even then it barely exceptioned. Right now I'm playin America's Army and it's startin to exception on me, but it comes up with a different text box. Here's what it says:

Build AmericasArmy_Build_[2004-06-01_02.01.01]OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)
CPU: AuthenticAMD PentiumPro-class processor @ 2107 MHz with 1022MB RAM
Video: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 (5656)

General protection fault!

History: UObject::ProcessEvent <- (HumanController Pipeline.HumanController, Function AGP.HumanController.PlayerTick) <- APlayerController::Tick <- TickAllActors <- ULevel::Tick <- (NetMode=3) <- TickLevel <- UGameEngine::Tick <- Level Pipeline <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop <- FMallocWindows::Free <- FMallocWindows::Realloc <- 796D7241 0 FArray <- FArray::Realloc <- 0*2 <- FMallocWindows::Free


If you'd like I could probably get the exception data from the Halo exception also(if that'd help any). Also, I tried all the things on microsoft.com to try to fix the problem, they didn't help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if you want the exceptiion data from halo, say so.

No one's replied to that thread, and no one's ever replied to it on other forums.  I've had the problem for probably 8 months.  I'm not sure if this problem has anything to do with the serious error, but I have a feeling it does. Oh, and a sidenote that might help or throw you completely off-track, after the alcan worm was fixed when we did all those scans, America's Army didn't exception for a long time (until today, so it's been about a week).  Usually it'll exception at least twice a day. Well, I'm getting off-track from the serious error problem, but only because I think it's related.  So, have I confused you yet?  I hope not.  Once again, I appreciate any help.

Hmm, have you tried using a driver clean utility before installing the latest drivers for you video card


I haven't used this one yet, but take a look at it
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secu...r-Cleaner.shtml
Download the latest drivers for your video adapter beforehand, don't install yet
Run the tool according to the Read me file
