Hi all!
It has been almost a year I had this computer from hell. Here are my specs:
430W Thermaltake PSU
ECS p4m800-pro v 1.0A VIA chipset
6600GT eVGA AGP video card 128MB
Audigy 2 5.1 sound card
litescribe dvd-rw
sony cd-rw
(1 stick) 512MB DDR 3200 kingston valueram
pentium D 775 dual core processor 1.6ghz
320gb seagate SATA
This computer would randomly crash anytime it wants and it seems like it does not depend on how much load it is encountering. It would crash during games like FEAR, Supreme Commander and it would even crash when I'm just browsing the net with firefox.
-I ran the memtest and the ram is good.
-I ran seatools to see if my harddrive is bad but that was good.
-I took out the 6600gt video card and used the onboard graphics and the computer still gave me a BSOD
-i used another HD with vista installed and still got a random reboot.
-I really don't know what the problem is since random crashes are generally linked to faulty ram.
-the temperatures (processor speeds) are fine ranging from 28C idle to 38C running games
i'm starting to suspect the ECS VIA chipset motherboard
Any thoughts? Thanks
