Thank you everyone for posting your replies, your input was very helpful...................NOT!

Hear me out please. I am getting a WMIxWDM error code in my xp 64bit which I just can not shake. Does this error code happen in Vista as well? Thinking about changing over to vista on new build. I posted in xp forum but no help there.

There has been no solution and nobody seems like they want to tackle it either. I'm ready to set the machine on fire and collect the insurance money I am going to switch out the video card although I'm not expecting much. Next will be switching the mobo and cpu. After doing a lot of cross referencing with products and this issue, it seems that Vista 64bit does not get this error. This is unsubstantiated proof but it is a theory. I'm not sure what type of machine your running but the programing might be lagging behind the electronics of it all.... at least in my case. I will be happy to share whatever information I have with you but it is all from doing google searches which you might have done already.

This is my first build. (and I'm ready to through it out the window) It's composed of: AMD 940 3ghz BE ASUS M4N72-E mobo Ultra 650w psu Kingston Hyper-x KHX8500D2T1K2 2x2gb (the t1 is the tall heat sinks) Seagate 350gb hd XFX nvidia 8600gts (pulled from my old machine) I know this sucks but it will get upraded soon. OS is xp 64bit (ishould have gone with vista 64 bit) I read a post from about 3 years ago regarding this issue but I still cannot find anything relevant. I am having a problem with random freezes which require rebooting. The freezes happen before bios, during bios being loaded, after bios(before windows loads), while windows is loading, in windows while doing gaming and while doing nothing. When it crashes in windows I usually get a WMIxWDM 106,107 or 123 error in the system event log. I cannot make the computer freeze. I can place it under heavy load but it will freeze sometimes while the screen saver comes on. I have run memtest86 with 7 passes and no problems reported. I've run Everest and Prime95 stress tests with no crashes or errors. The last Prime95 I ran was 3hours with the Asus Probell motherboard monitor running. No crashes, low heat (cpu maxed out at 58c motherboard at 39c and only a .05 fluctuation on the 12v rail and no movement on the 5v rail). All drivers are up to date and new ones (such as video) were erased before new ones were added. The only other error in the system log is sometimes a nv error caught in a continous loop (but rare). (The driver nv4_disp for the display device \Device\Video0 got stuck in an infinite loop. ) Just yesterday I ran a Prime95 stress test while running a motherboard monitor from asus. It ran for about 3 hours and it did not crash and no errors. The temp was running at a constant 57c the power supply only sometimes showed a 12v drop by .03v - .05v (running at 12.02v droping to 11.97v )and everything else was great. So is it the video card, motherboard or cpu? Please help, Bill
