I think you may need to be more specific, I did a search on google for it and came up with a few things you might want to try it.

[SLK]

It means "FORMAT"

If i was getting an error like that, i would just format.

[The Dude]

Are you overclocking?

[andrew87]

no im not o/c

[andrew87]

could this error be causing m restarts and jams in windows before i took off restart on serious errors

[Sid]

Take a peek at the event viewer and give us the ID and errors. I find it easer to chase the problems that way instead of trying to figure out what the .dmp is saying.

[andrew87]

there isnt any errors after when it restarted but about 2 mins ago i checked it and i saw all these crypt32 errors and the id is 11.

but that shows up everywhere in the list

Most of the time that is a driver problem with the via chipset mobo's. I've seen it caused by using ACPI with Win2K or WinXP, or by conflicting resources or outdated drivers.

Try going back to an older version of the 4 in 1 drivers.

For what its worth, I just got one of those errors today too! I have a mobo with a VIA chipset, my first and last.

I thought it might have been caused by a couple of security patches that I recently installed. I simply rebooted and all is well, for now.

Definitely a resource conflict. What's in your system?

[andrew87]

p!!! 550E
aopen ax63pro via pro133 chipset
geforce 2mx 200
burner
cdrom
floppy
cable
nic
seagte 8.4 hdd


i installed the latest 4 in 1 drivers about 1 month ago

[Qwijib0]

I used to own an apollo pro133 based mobo as well.

The day I got rid of it was a great day.

Hopefully you find a 4 in 1 that works

[Sid]

No sound card? Try sticking the nic in an other slot.

[zooner]

remind me...

what OS?

I remember there was a time something fixed something like that in win98se.

[andrew87]

sorry forgot about the creative vibra 128

and i have xp pro but not sp1 because i cant install it without it saying i have a pirited copy. anyway to get around this?

Funny, just last week I was working on my buddy'z rig and after re-formatting and loading all the software we ended up with the EXACT same error. The event viewer didn't help much with a resolve. Talked to ppl around here and at SG, alot of them said the PSU was not enough for what he was running, which was only a 250W Suntek (I told him to upgrade that along time ago, he didn't listen). His IRQ's had no conflicts at all or it didn't show any conflicts for that matter. So we bought him an Enermax 450W PSU online, and after installing it, he has not a problem...

He was running the following on this weakA$$ Suntek:

Multi-booting WinMe/WinXP & Linux SuSe 8.0
ASUS A7V333/r w/on-board C-Media Sound
AMD 2200 Thoroughbred Not OC'ed w/CM HHC-001 slapped on it
Samsung 512MB cl2.5 stock timings
ATi Radeon 7500 AIW
Maxtor 60GB 7200rpmHDD
IBM 30GB 7200rpmHDD
DVD-ROM
CD-Burner
Kingston Fast Ethernet 10/100 Rltk chip
and a couple of case fans

Now I have "almost" the same components as he does (*see SIG) running on a 350W PSU and I never had that prob. That error would only happen with certain apps btw, mostly high intense 3D Games. So take a look at your power output and see if that would be your issue.
