Started getting more frequent BSoDs a month or two ago, they are steadily increasing. Usually have occurred during gaming(specifically World of Warcraft) but now they seem to be related to downloading/installing. I've also started to notice a squealing type sound, though I can't really track it's source. It seems to follow hard drive activity.. I've run memtest, nothing showing up out of the ordinary.. Though I didn't test sticks separately. I recently reformatted, thinking it would be a decent way to see if it was a corrupt install or some such.. Things were stable for a while, but after installing various applications it's the worst it's been.
I'm using an older Catalyst driver, since the newest apparently have issues with the AGP Radeons. Besides that, all the latest drivers installed(that I'm aware of), and the newest bios for my motherboard. Probably a good time to tell you I'm pretty much a complete newb when it comes to computer stuff, I know the basics I guess.. I'm including 4(I'm desperate) minidumps. If anyone could look them over for me, and give me a little advice it would be greatly appreciated.
My system specs:
Windows XP Professional(SP2)
Pentium 4 3.0GHz(Prescott)
Asus P4P800 SE
Generic 350 Watt PSU(I know..)
1GB PC3200(2x 512mb)
Radeon 9800 Pro 256mb
