Windows xp on macbook pro keeps freezing

Hello, Nightwish.

Have you updated to boot camp latest version?? I recently updated mine and ever since I've been getting freezes.

Welcome to Macrumors Forums.

Perhaps the problem with drivers on the video adapter.
Download the latest official driver from NVidia and use an application called RIVATUNER to force a fixed performance level of "low-power 3D".

Update Driver
1. Download and install the latest NVIDIA driver from here.

RivaTuner
1. Download and install RivaTuner from here.

Magic
1. Open RivaTuner and switch to the "Power User" tab.
2. Expand the "RivaTuner\NVIDIA\Overclocking" Tree.
3. Set "EnablePerfLevelForcing" to 1.
4. Switch to the "Main" tab.
5. Under "Driver settings" click on the small arrow left to "Customize..." and choose the first icon "System settings".
6. Set "Force constant performance level" to either "low power 3D" (suffient for 2D audio work) or "performance 3D" (used for 3D gaming).
7. Click OK and let the computer restart.

Me too

I brought my Macbook pro 2 weeks ago, and I have having the same problem too. Windows xp crashes (white screen) randomly, sometimes a few hours, sometimes every few minutes.

Has anyone tried the MacKeeperFanMod method? Does it work??

Please help!

Same Problem Here I gave up and have been using Windows 7 , but it still has issues. Its rather disappointing the have this happen, makes you consider the choice.

Have a look in the Windows 7 event viewer to see what is crashing.
