Hello I am not sure why its happening , but my system just keeps crashing all the time. I have tried formatting and installing windows again and again but after you use the computer for some time it just stops working and not responding.
Here's my Config:
(all which was purchased within a year and a half)
Windows XP Pro SP2
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Windsor 3.2GHz
SeaSonic S12-500 ATX12V 500W Power Supply
CORSAIR XMS2 4GB ram ( 4 - 1gb sticks)
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard
NEC 16X DVD±R DVD Burner
Nvidia Quadro FX 1500 256mgb Graphics Card
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE sound card
Western Digital Caviar SE Sata 250GB HD
Let me go back and give you more information. My previous installment had a 160gb hard drive and a slower processor. Worked great for a year and a half. All of a sudden I got constant stop errors (mostly 0x000000F4) and would usually restart no problem. Then the computer started locking up and restarted but recieved a disk error hit ctrl alt del to restart. I did, then it went to the desktop....next time I started the computer it said cannot load windows because a file in the sys is corrupt. Ok, so I tried Automated Syste recovery, no luck. Tried reinstalling windows, no luck. I had to reinstall windows as "windows1" to get what my files off "windows." Thinking that my hard drive was shot, I purchased a new, larger drive (250gb) and a faster processor which was mentioned earlier in this post. I installed windows on the first try, no issues...however about 26 days later, windows halted, giving me stop errors and then ofcourse a Disk read error........
Wow. So I did a reformat...and tried reinstalling windows....which failed to install. Disk Read error. So I took it to a guy and he did a low level format....so I tried to install windows again...this time it partitioned and copied files over and restarted....ofcourse giving me a Disk Read error........So I did some tests I found through the internet... Memtest86 for the ram, and a diagnostic tool from Western Digital. The hard drive diagnostics came out NO ERRORS and then I let the memtest run....it ran for 6 passes, no errors....Which leaves me to believe that from what Ive read - it could be the power supply or the motherboard........I dont see how it could be the Power supply. But someone please convince me what my problem is and what should I do. I need this computer up and running asap, as I do use it for a living and have been stuck with this issue for 2 weeks now....Thanks in advance, this is all the info I have - and provided you with it.
Thanks!
