As some of you may recognize, this is the infamous infinite loop error message. Here's a pretty good background site I've found about it: http://members.home.nl/marf/Infinite%20Loop.html

This error message seems to be a very old problem that seems to be from the same, unfixed problems, some people have it posted on forums as old as 2001

There's really no definite fix for it anywhere so I'm kind of desperate, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's my system:
DFI Lanparty NF4 UT Ultra-d
Opteron 170
Kingston 2x 1024 MB HyperX
Gigabyte 7600GT, fanless
485w Enermax Noisetaker
76GB Raptor
300GB Seagate

Other Info:
Running on Windows Vista Business
Running 100.65 (newest) Nvidia drivers
Running 4.06 (newest) DFI Bios

Up until a few days ago, I ran on a 3000+ Winchester with no problems at all, the very rare random freeze but I think that's about it. I recently installed the Opteron 170 and when I started playing Oblivion, I got this error within 1-25 minutes of playing and continue to get it.

Also, I used to have a 7600GS with the same system except using the 3000+ still and I would occasionaly get this message.

I know there is no definite fix for this problem so I'm asking anyone who may have had this problem with the same setup as me or same motherboard at least to please let me know of any possible fixes that have worked out. The problem is known to have been fixed with just different BIOS settings or very quarky things like using a divider on your memory.

I've emailed tech support to Nvidia, Gigabyte and DFI and I'm awaiting their response, but not very optimistic.

Things like "get a better power supply" or "cool your junk better" or "use driver cleaner pro" aren't very helpful and that's all I've been seeing on other forums where people post this question.
