I wasn't sure where to put this, so here it goes.
Hey all, I have been experiencing some problems with my computer, including hardlocks, and BSOD's. Here is my system and list of current problems.
AMD 64 X2 5600+ Windsor 2.6GHz Dual Core Processor.
Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit
4GB DDR2 Ram
Abit KN9-SLI Motherboard
Nvidia GeForce NX GT8600 PCI Express x16
700 Watt Cooler Master Power Supply.
I have been experiencing blue fatal error crashes and mini-dumps shortly after the World of Warcraft 3.0.2 patch, and more recently now just whenever im gaming ( any game, ) but never recieve them during web-surfing, etc. I recieve errors IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_TO 0x0000000A and 0x0000008E. I have recieved a few others that are not coming to my memory at this time.
This is what I have done. I flashed my bios and put them back to factory settings, and I have also ran a registry booster and repair, fixing all registry problems ( I hope, ) that I had. I also ran memtest* as well as windows diagnostic memory tool, and found no errors, as well as ran each stick of memory independantly and found them to run fine. I ran my driver check tool, and have updated every driver I could find, including SATA network connections, BIOS/CHIPSET, etc. I have done all this and still found no error to my computers ways.
If anyone has any ideas, please, PLEASE help me. This computer is my 1st born expensive child, and its ill, and needs attention !
( oh, also I found on a forum for ABIT, even thouogh my Motherboard is freaking not old, its already discontinued which means I can't get any new drivers/fixes for it.. could this maybe be the hardware failure one of the BSOD's is refering to ? )
Also if anyone knows how to deteremine what piece of hardware is causing my issue, please let me know !
Sorry so lengthy, if you can please read and respond.
