Hey guys, I've been having this problem for a couple weeks now and I can't stand it any longer. When I play a game it crashes out to the desktop or I get the BSOD and then the computer needs to be restarted. I caught this error last night while playing.
PAGE_FAULT_IN_A_NONPAGE_AREA
or
IRQL_LESS_OR_EQUAL
And then below it had this:
ati3duag.dll
And I have looked this up but I still can't get the problem to go away. I have tried everything and these are my specs.
Intel P4 HT 3.2Ghz
Radeon X1600 Pr
2gigs of PC3200 DDR ram
500 watt power supply
640 Hard Drive Space
Windows XP
At one forum they said I should test the memory and stress the video card. So I stressed out the video card and no crash there. But when I tested the memory it cam out with around 15 errors. Now some people said that my memory might be bad and others said I should try and knock down the timings. So I want to know what you guys think the problems might be and if I slow down the timings how do I do that and what do the timings mean? Will I lose performence? Will my computer slow to a crawl? Should I just get a Nvidia card? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I posted some of my minidumps if anyone wants to look through them.
