Hi,
Hopefully someone will take the time to help me with my problem (I've already started 2 threads about this which drifted off into nothingness). Been getting continous errors for the past 3 months, I've formatted 5 times, installed every latest driver possible for my computer but to no avail. So I'm sitting here on my 5th formatted setup slowly but surely dying away as I attempt day after day to fix the situation. I have an Abit KV7 mobo (updated/flashed), an AMD AThlon XP 3200, 2X 512mb PC3200 Infineon RAM, Radeon 9800Pro 128mb (updated cat drivers), A Maxtor 133/7200rpm 80gb HDD with a clean copy of Windows XP Home installed. This has got to be a hardware error and I would really like it if someone were to tell me what part is causing the problem so I can take it out, smash it, throw it in the pool and then flush it down the toilet.
This PC is literally my life, i have about 130 games along with 5 I have yet to complete and 3 which I enjoy playing online.
So this is the error : Whilst playing games EVERYONE of them crashes at some point (some take 5 hours others take 3 minutres) due to a 0xc0000005 error saying that ''the memory referenced at xxxxxxxx could not be read''. I have managed to put a lid on some of the BSOD's thanks to cpc earlier last month (caused by Zone Alarm) but now I have a constant very infrequent BSOD that pops up at least once a day about a bugcheck with parameters : 0x1000008e (0xc0000005, 0xbf837815, 0xf6dbca68, 0x00000000) the 3rd paramter is usually different but every other paramater is the same ALWAYS! Until I rolled back my cat drivers from 5.7 to 5.5 it blamed ati2dvag.dll as the driver, now it blames win32k.sys and AVG7core.dll {EDIT}Just crashed again with ati2dvag.dll :unch: . Just like it did when this whole bloody mess started. These errors are completely random. I could be blowing away combine troops (half life 2) with full graphics and have no problems for 5 hours. Then I'll switch to Warcraft 3 and have a crash within 3 minutes and watch it ctd followed by a bugcheck at the same parameters as usual.
I built this system in December (very carefully, bent one of the CPU prongs but corrected it very easily with help from a pro) and had one reboot whilst playing Half Life 2 but then no errors from Dec to June. Then random restarts, game crashes, the works. I have tried every diagnostic available, burnintest, memtest, maxtor diagnostic. But found no problems. The only incy bincy inconsistency I found was that the RAS ~ CAS clock and the RAS precharge on one of my sticks of RAM is 4 whilst on the other it is 3. CAS LAtency is the same (2.5) as is TRAS (8). I point out the RAM due to the error message I get 0xc0000005(MEMORY ACCESS VIOLATION). I'll attach all the minidumps I have received but I can't really make anymore, these things happen the majority of the time when I'm doing nothing opposed to when I'm really heating up the CPU with loads of processes!
Thanks very much,
