| | This is a problem with either graphics hardware or more likely drivers which as in your case includes the direct X kernel module. To fix this you must be able to boot into safe mode at the very least, uninstall your current graphics driver and allow Vista to replace it with a native one for now, then download and install the november release of Direct x from MS and finally update your graphics driver to the latest one supplied by your cards manufacturer.

| | Did you do what cyclic suggested? I myself cant make head nor tail of stop errors (usually google them). The most information can be got from the line such as dxgkrnl.sys. Adress 8C0F47B5, DateStamp 46899fd6 it tells us whats acting up. In this case like cyclic said i'm fairly certian thats the direct x graphics kernel (hence the dxgkrnl name). Problem is due to either a bad direct x install, bad graphics drivers or an overclocked graphics card. Worse case scenario its a bad os install.
Asus-SLI Deluxe, AMD x2 4400 (oc'd to 5000), x1900xtx (oc'd), 2GB Corsair XMS RAM 2-3-3-6 (4x512), 500GB Maxtor HDD w/ 32mb cache, 300GB Maxtor HDD w/ 16mb cache, Creative Audigy 4 (Daniel Driver Set), HVR-1100 Dvb-t hybrid TV card, 580W Hiper Type M PSU. 5.0 score on Vista Ultimate x64, 6040 3DMark 06' score on XP |

| | chkdsk worked pretty good. I've only had one BSOD since running it and I know what caused it. The only other problem I've been having is my computer will just freeze up every now and then. I have heard that a processor overheating can cause this but I know for a fact that is not the problem. Can anything else cause this? |

| | From those errors it is clearly a graphics problem How do you know it isn't overheating ? have you tried adding extra cooling to see if there is a difference........not only overheating CPU's cause freezes so does graphics chips and south bridge chip over temps. The mention of the graphics kernel driver file is the main clue, it is more likely to be a driver or possibly hardware problem.
