Hi,
Today I come to you a desperate, disheartened and extremely annoyed man. Over the last couple of months or so, my computer seems to lock up and crash randomly while I'm playing any game - for instance counter strike runs for about 10-20 mins and then all of a sudden the monitor goes blank, the sounds stutters a bit and the computer reboots...on the occasional lucky day it may not happen upto an hour or so but eventually does happen - upon rebooting and starting up again, windows says that my computer recovered from a serious error and the following error report is generated:
BCCode : 1000007f BCP1 : 00000008 BCP2 : 80042000 BCP3 : 00000000
BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 2_0 Product : 256_1

C:\DOCUME~1\farhan\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER90b1.dir00\sysdata.xml
Upon doing the necessary research on the internet I realized that there could be several things behind it. I changed to an Antec TruePower 2.0 550W PSU but that didnt' help...I downloaded and ran memtest for seven hours with 24 passes and ZERO errors, so not a problem of RAM either I guess...I checked the temperatures, where in full load the CPU temp is around 55C and the GPU temp is around 69C while the system temp remains stable at 40C...I don't have any manual overclocking, all my settings are at default. I tried flashing the bios with the latest version, updating mobo drivers, updating sound card drivers and video card drivers but to no avail whatsoever. So now I am coming to this forum with the attached minidumps...it would be great if the computer genuises here can provide me with some sort of relief from my misery. Listed below are my system specs...any suggestions/advice/opinions are highly appreciated!
