I have a 3.2 Pentium 4 system with 2GB of RAM that I purchased from Sony about two years ago. I had been experiencing random restarts and stop errors until it finally gave out and ruined the RAID 0 configuration that it came with. Luckily I had a full backup and was able to restore everything. I got rid of the old drives (4 250GB drives) and installed one 250GB drive as my primary volume, and two 500GB drives as additional storage volumes (no more RAID). I did a clean install of everything and I thought that would take care of the problem. Unfortunately, it appears the problem still exists. I have already ran a memtest and it came out clean. What could be the problem?! If someone could please help me I would greatly appreciate it. This is a great system and I would hate to have to get rid of it but I cannot afford to have another damaging crash like the last one. I have attached the minidumps that are in the directory and have also included some of the system errors recorded in the event log. I hope this is something simple and cheap to fix otherwise I might be better of getting a new system. Thanks in advance...
