When I play Stepmania, after a awhile, the computer freezes and I get this blue screen. After it restarts!

After logining in, this dialog shows up... I don't kno why it's doing this all the sudden.

(I had this problem in the past)

That appears if you restarted without doing Start > Shut down most of the time... just means that Microsoft wants you to send the details of the problem.

You dun have to, if you dun want to.

Yes, but that won't help me stop the os crashing. Do I need to replace my internal graphics with a video card?

If Windows XP thinks it's a device failure that caused the error, then it probably is. Do other games produce the same problem? Have they ever crashed on you?

I had a similar problem with C+C Generals Zero Hour and Counter-Strike... the game tended to crash, but I noticed many of the textures in the game started messing up... appearantly my video card was defective so perhaps you may have to replace your video card...

My graphics card is intergrated. To replace it, I have to go out and buy a video card for a expanition slot. >_>

The drivers updated successfully. I will try the game in demo mode to see if it crashes again.

If it does, I am hopeless. >_>

It works now... Stepmania doesn't cause any hardware "Failure" this time...

I was running it for 1 hour, and no blue screen. =)

LOL - with the error reporting, you can turn that off. I don't use XP, but I think it's in the system settings somewhere.


"One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts."
Albert Einstein

"What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative than mathematics."
Benjamin Franklin

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."
Bertrand Russell
