I get the following error after installing the NVIDIA nForce 6.25 BETA driver.
I am using ASUS K8N. I have no idea how to fix this.

Machine Check Event reported is a corrected error.

archish, this problem has been plaguing many people, there is no one solution but many hit & misses, check this thread out.

the easiest thing to do is unistall the nforce drivers completely & let windows install stock ide drivers. see if that helps.

yes i traced it down to my agp driver. I guess i will revert back to 32bit

It was so smooth

Off topic:

Wanted to know if normal 32 bit programs like winamp, bitcomet etc will run in win xp 64, bcoz i heard that there is some 32 bit WOW system.

 

[archish]

yes all 32 bit software will work exvept drivers and system related software such as antivirus, firewall. 16 bit software wont work

@archish

do u notice any boost / increased performance generally ?

 

[archish]

windows usage felt smooth, i cannot say exactly in words, app loading was bit faster, video encoding was faster
