This has happened few times, every time the PC crashes, it says the video card is the problem.
I'm using a Nvidia TNT2/32MB video card, already updated my driver few times both by Microsoft and Nvidia own drivers and yet the same problem keep happening.
OS - Windows XP
m/board - MSI K7T Pro2
Duron 700Mhz
Logitech Optical Mouse

Start with your BIOS settings.
Set the CPU clock speed manually.
Set AGP apperature to 2X video ram up to 1/2 system ram.
Set the option to assign an IRQ for VGA.
Make sure that the primary video device is set to the correct type for your card (PCI/AGP).
Disable any ports that you are not using. (COMM, IR, USB)

Then, check the MSI manual for the default IRQ assignments.
Make sure that no other plug in card conflicts with the video card.

I already checked the system as you suggested,(no changes been made)so far it haven't crash. But, i know that the file nv_disp is what causing the problem. (sorry i did not mentioned it earlier). There is no conflict whatsoever. All interrupts are assigned perfectly.
