I have been running Half-Life (Counter-Strike) on my NT Workstation problem free for over 2 years. I am now getting a very frequent BSOD & frankly can't figure out why. Never has this happened to me before. Actually I don't think I have ever got a BSOD on my machine but now only happens in this game.
There have been no hardware changes other than adding a second SCSI drive and moving the swapfile (768 Megs = twice my ram) to it. Now there is no swapfile on the drive with winnt folder.
I have a fresh install (well, I always have a fresh install since I continually blow away the HDD every 3 months > don't ask why, I just like to) with all the NT4 patches and SP6a/etc installed.
My mobo is ABIT BF6 440BX and I have a TNT2/32 for video. I did recently install the latest video drivers (12.41 or something I think) from Nvidia's site and suspect this first. I will reinstall older drivers and see if this makes a difference.
Anyway, here is what I see on the BSOD:
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED***ADDRESS f51cbe37 has base at f5193000 -nv4_disp.dll
Any help will be most appreciated. I will let you know how the older drivers are doing. I suspect they will be much more reliabe considering my machine's previous stability.
Cheers,

If you loan a friend $20 & never see them again, it was worth it.
