Hello everyone. I Just built a new system last week and I get BSODs every 10-20 minutes or so while playing games like L4D and BFBC2. I made sure the BIOS and all drivers were up to date. I originally thought it was a graphics driver problem (ATI Catalyst 10.7) So I tried previous versions like 10.5, 10.4, but still got BSODs. So I thought maybe it was on board sound drivers. So I disabled and removed them and installed the SB card, but still BSODs. Maybe it was the RAM. Ran Memtest86+ and it passed several times. I thought maybe it's overheating so I ran Prime95 and HMMonitor and temps stayed below 30c, but I noticed 3 out of the 6 cores on the cpu failed tests, so I opened up the case, replaced the RAM into different sockets and then reran the tests. This time it ran for about 5 hours with no errors. I tried gaming (BFBC2) again and got no BSODs (I played for maybe an hour or so) I thought everything was good, and the ram was just not seated correctly. Until today, I got 2 more BSODs while playing L4D. I am thinking maybe the RAM really is bad, or maybe my MOBO, or drivers! I dunno... im stumped and hoping someone here can help.
