Hi..I've been having this problem on and off for 2 months. It's a random BSOD Hardware Failure then all goes dead. Sometimes after reboot its fine for days, and sometimes it happens within a couple of minutes. I tried all the obvious troubleshooting, and memtest, and mb monitor. All the temps and voltages are fine. I checked all the caps for leaks and bulges. all look fine. I reseated all cards, video card and memory....nothing works. Sometimes it runs flawlessy for days and then bang...it keeps shutting down. Today for the first time after numerous shutdowns, I got the black text screen before XP loads saying TRAP 00000002 Exception. Like its a physical memory problem, I swapped out the chips, and same BSOD, hardware failure screen. I'm running out of ideas???Any help would greatly be appreciated.
