Random Errors on XP

[MiDi]

Hi,

Last week i downgraded from Windows XP Pro 64-bit down to 32-bit (due to some software issues), and now all of a sudden I'm getting random errors. This can be when i'm playing a game (mainly starcraft, hasn't occured in Counter-Strike: Source yet weird..), browsing the internet, or it just being idle. I've gotten two errors on the bsod, since i turned off the "Automatic reboot", they are Page_Fault_In_Nonpaged_Area and BAD_POOL_HEADER. I'm about to run memtest, but i noticed something strange and i was wondering if this could be an issue.
The IRQ Assignments are set up like this:

(ISA) 1 Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard
(ISA) 3 Communications Port (COM2)
(ISA) 8 High Precision event timer
(ISA) 9 AX51P34W IDE Controller
(ISA) 9 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
(ISA) 13 Numeric data processor
(ISA) 14 Primary IDE Channel
(ISA) 15 Secondary IDE Channel
(PCI) 16 Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio
(PCI) 16 Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller
(PCI) 17 Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller
(PCI) 17 Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller
(PCI) 18 ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
(PCI) 18 Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller
(PCI) 18 Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller
(PCI) 19 Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio
(PCI) 19 Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
(PCI) 22 Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller
(PCI) 22 Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
(PCI) 23 Realtek RTL8169/8110 Family Gigabit Ethernet NIC



Now the part that's stumping me is (PCI) 18. Could the USB Host Controllers being shared with my video card cause an issue? I would try to move the video card to another slot, but Only one PCI-E 16x port means im not moving it anywheres lol. The only reason i'm suspecting the video card is, the last few days CCC (Catalyst Control Center) has been crashing on me, Not every time did the computer throw up a bsod, but still was very strange, I have reinstalled the drivers + CCC and CCC hasn't crashed but, I'm still getting bsod at random times.

Anyways here's my specs from everest, if anyone can help it'll be greatly appreciated. I'm sorry if i did not give enough info, ill check back daily, if you need more info just let me know.

Very informative first post. So well done on that.
I would only suggest that you put your System Specs in your Profile
That will help for future posts, and even avoid members reading your entire first post to get to it.

This does sound like a Memtest analyzing issue (Note: 7 Passes required)
But I thought I'd go back a step to where you stated:

i downgraded from Windows XP Pro 64-bit down to 32-bit

Before loading Xp did you remove the old partition fully ?
As Xp only takes about half an hour to install (not including the 3 Hrs of updating after that!) You may want to do a clean install of Windows again.

Another option would be to attach any MiniDumps recently created in c:\windows\minidump Sometimes these MiniDumps give precise identification of the offending file or hardware (and sometimes they are difficult to interpret)

You may also want to check your event viewer of anything happening at time of crash (ie Antivirus updating or something)

Regarding the interrupts. Your computer will automatically (plug and play) place the correct hardware in the correct spot. But sometimes (usually only, when conflicts arise) you need to manually adjust this setting. The easiest option, is to go to Device Manager and uninstall them fully (especially same interrupts) and allow Windows to install them again on the next restart.

Please read through this clearly, and also advise on the outcome to Memtest

I re-read it myself
There are 8 things I have asked for you to either do, or answer
I hope that wasn't too much on an innitial reply to your issue (O Oh that makes 9 !)
