Hi All.
I have seen several threads on this forum regarding unexpected crashes of Vista resulting in BSOD. My computer began expiriencing this issue about two weeks ago. Basically, I get the following error code @ BSOD

stop: 0x00000124 0x85870028 0xf2000010 0x00010c0f

My PC's specs are as follows:

Acer Aspire e380
Vista Ultimate SP1
AMD dual-core X2 4800
GeForce 7300LE 256 MB 64-bit Video
3 Gb DDR 2 PC 5300 RAM
On-board HD Audio-what am I missing here?....

I get the BSOD at random, there doesn't seem to be a pattern... If I try to re-boot Vista into normal mode right after the crash, my video seems to freeze on black screen right before the Vista welcome animation should come on. I have no problems booting into Safe mode with Networking (from which I am currently writing this post). After booting into safe mode, I can reboot into normal mode without getting a freeze at the welcome screen, but then the BSOD randomly takes place anyway and I am back to square one.

Please, if someone has managed to find a resolution to this issue, let me know. I feel pretty certain it is connected to the video card somehow, but I hope to resolve this through means other than buying a new video card-as I had no issues running XP on a separate partition on the same box. I also feel that this is a video card-Vista issue, not just a simple hardware fault. I hope to hear some great feedback. Thanks!
Alex.

Found this with a Google search, seems a bit odd but should be worth a try ;- http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/...-0x000001.aspx

Thanks for the reply.
I am going to check my BIOS for this setting, and reset it to see if it makes a difference.

Here is an interesting thing-I re-installed Vista completely using the DVD that came with the 'puter (Home Premium). I turned off updates for now, and will see how the system behaves itself. If no further crashes occur, I will begin a to update starting from drivers and eventually getting to the OS updates itself. I am almost convinced that in my case the problem is caused by Vista itself-one of recent updates, to be more specific, but I am not sure which one though, but I will be very happy when I narrow it down.

However, if anyone out there finds a fix for this issue, or can confirm my suspicions, please post in this thread.

To managed:
I don't see that option in my BIOS.

Update-even the cleanest install I could perform still does NOT resolve the issue-Vista crashes, I get 0x00000124 BSOD error, and so on and so forth.... I am beginning to feel like this is a hardware issue, possibly the video card is going south... Any ideas?

I bought a new video card with ATI chipset (Radeon 3600 HD, 1gb ram) and replased the Nvidia GeForce 7300LE. Hadn't had a problem since
