I have a newly built AMD 64 x2 4400+ system.
Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI mobo
Gigabyte GV-3D1 gfx
4x512Mb Corsair VS DDR400 Dual channel
Seagate 200Gb SATA hd
Coolermaster 450W PSU
Thermaltake Xaser III Multimedia keyboard & mouse
Win XP Pro SP2, with updates
All the latest drivers and BIOS.

I payed a lot of money for this system but it has been ustable from day one.
I've had it set up with various different configurations, formatted several times, overclock, underclock, but I can't pinpoint the problem.

Any advice, please?
 
Hello and welcome to Techspot.

If by crashing you mean restarting, or you`re getting BSOD`s.

Go HERE and follow the instructions.

If that doesn`t help. Zip 5 or 6 of your latest minidumps together, and attach them here.

The problem is that it just hangs, stops responding, and then I have to do a hard boot. When it restarts it doesn't show any error reports. As if nothing happened.
These are the only minidumps I could find.
 
All your miniumps crash at ipw_mdm.sys. Wireless nic?

They all have a bugcheck of D1.

0x000000D1: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

The system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. The most typical cause is a bad device driver (one that uses improper addresses). It can also be caused by caused by faulty or mismatched RAM, or a damaged pagefile.

Try updating the drivers. If that doesn`t help try a different wireless nic.

Regards Howard :)
 
I had a problem with that too, it turned out to be the RAM was bein a lil... ya so try movin ur RAM around into different slots, worked for me
 
I have used OCz MemTest and left it running for about an hour without errors.
I don't have a nic installed, but have now disabled all possible adapters in device manager. Will see if it makes a difference.

Thanks for the advice.
