Should I be concerned? Is my computer going to die? Is it on it's last leg?

Both times this occurred was when I had multiple tabs open and consuming lots of memory while surfing the web.



It's not dead. It is a system driver issue in software unless your processor itself is dying (highly unlikely)

gv3.sys is a driver for your processor. It was made obsolete with Windows XP service pack 2.

Here's Microsofts solution to your problem. Follow their instructions to the letter!

Fix?

Read that page very carefully and do what they say... good luck!
