Nice title.

Eponas GPF problem sounds like something basic in windows has become damaged. Simple answer is to re-install windows over the top of your existin installation, which should replace all the damaged components. If that fails you might need to do a format/re-isntall. Usual warnings about backups and tracking down driver disc.

About getting a Geforce to work under mandrake 7.1 - youll probably need to replace XFree86 with a newer version. *shudders*. Doing that kind of thing under linux can be a pain in the arse, especialy when you also have to replace Kpackage to handle the new RPM files. (Ive tried it). NVidia was being a pain about releasing their drivers at the time mandrake 7.1 was released, I think that mandrak 8.1 includes them straight out the box. It shoudnt be too expensive to order it. I seem to recall the sum of 5 euros being on the site, but that was a long time ago.
