Hi everyone, I've had quite a lot of trouble with mostly old computer hardware, most infamously with a 648f neo which can't even boot windows 7. Now I got a slightly newer PC, used, and just as I thought my luck changed, I was proved wrong. I should preface this by saying I installed win7 on this one too, but it had some trouble, I think it's due to old software, but I could be wrong.
Basically, it's an old motherboard, Asus A8V (not deluxe), with native IDE/ATA but with additional SATA 1.5 support. Well, I recently bought a SATA drive and I installed it, with mandatory pins, on this system. Due to buggy chipsets, it requires an F6 driver for Windows XP Pro, but I got through it and the entire system started up and worked fine for about two days, until it started pulling out various blue screens. I actually reinstalled, but the blue screens continued.
I have only the last dump, but I've had three different blue screens, so I just wanted to see if anyone who can read them has something to say. The reason why I don't think it's exclusively HDD is because I've had this same PC with an ata drive, but on win7, and I also had blue screens, although in much smaller number. Now, I have about one blue screen every two days. So basically, I don't know is this just the graph card, or the graph card+the new hdd, or some compatibility issue between 64 and 32 bit hardware and software, or winxp and win7. My list of suspected hardware :
1. The new HDD, although in theory I don't know why
2. ATI x1950 Pro, googling some of the bccodes hinted at this, but the blue screens don't happen during heavy graph use
3. I don't have experience with it, but it's XP Pro 32 bit on an AMD 64 bit processor.
The BSODs were these:
1. Error code 000000f4, parameter1 00000003, parameter2 8a024da0, parameter3 8a024f14, parameter4 805c77d0
2. Error code 1000008e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 bf953303, parameter3 9f45cc00, parameter4 00000000
3. Error code 10000050, parameter1 e35e3020, parameter2 00000000, parameter3 bf8328eb, parameter4 00000001
This is really bugging me out so any help is welcome...
