sounds like itsa a video card driver problem, in win98se there used to be an option to select which drivers to load (gave you a y/n box for each driver) dunno if its still avalible in win xp tho.agpcpq.sys ... iv google thias and it is the cpu-agp driver (presumably,then its the driver that links the agp bus to the cpu). that all i can thinkof at the mo... except have u reacently installed sp2? there are loads of reported problems simalar to yours that started after a service pack 2 install...

sorry im not too lucid tonight!

no hardware changes im not sure of software you know how that goes if its not your own computer....I.E that nifty little virus packaged in a dancing bear email flash thingy sent by grandma.. thx for your reply though hope its not hardware cause that makes things =$$

That kind of error could be a lot of things. It could be bad memory, including system memory, video RAM, or L2 cache.

Things to try:
test each memory moduule with memtest86+.
change vid cards
disable L2 cache

It can also be bad software. I've read that very old antivirus programs can be the culprit, but you'd probably need to get someone to analyze the minidump files to determine this.

thx for the replies it appears to have been software related .. i did a full reformat and install of windows xp....no probelms  interesting ly though they had a mcafee anti virus software on the pc.. it very well  may of been th ereason cause it was out of date by 2 years.
