typically means either a bad driver, bad driver install or memory error from bad or unstable memory



Did you upgrade the BIOS on the board? There was a BIOS relesed which addressed memory issues on the P6T

BIOS is 1102.  RAM passed memtest for 2 passes before I stopped to get online.  I'm going to run memtest overnight tonight.

If it's not the ram could it be the chipset drivers?  If it was could I just run the updated Intel driver install over the top of the existing drivers?

being on the internet could be a clue.. adobe shockwave or flash has been locking up IE recently but no reports of BSOD

Assuming the memory is stable the next time it happens write down the error with code and any file name it may record on the blue screen

See if you can isolate content on the web page where this may happen.. video, flash, whatever

Sometimes it can be a video driver issue with the web content

I cant see the system not throwing a BSOD in FSX and throwing one on the internet if memory were unstable. It sounds like a driver issue around some kind of web content

No memtest errors during overnight run so it looks like the ram's ok.
