Hello all, so im having this issue that is driving me mad ... My system specs:
Asus A7n8x-e deluxe mobo, AthlonXP 3200+, Samsung 2x512 ddr400 mem, nvidia 5700le gc, samsung dvd-rom, optorite dvd-rw, sygate sata 120gb hd, floppy drive, 2 case fans, 1 cpu-fan.
My problem started as a random IRQ BSOD about NOV05, i did the normal. Replaced mem, checked graphics card, updated all drivers. Still happening. So i cleaned up the case, figuring it was dirty maybe some contacts on the components weren't contacting. While i was in there i removed 2 of my previously 4 case fans. The problem now took a little bit longer to show its ugly face, but i couldn't leave the comp on overnight without seeing the BSOD in the morning. So a week ago i figured i would change the cpu multiplyer to about half and run the processor at 1150mhz rather then the norm 2300. Havent seen the bsod since i underclocked it. This morning i decided to turn it back up to 2300 mhz and as soon as it boots- BSOD! Turned it back down and its stable. I don't know what to replace? I was thinking Power supply because the fans slowed the bsod down and the cpu isnt taking as much power at 1150mhz. Its one of those generic 350w psus that came with my generic case. Worked fine for about a year. Could this also be the processor causing the problems? What do you all think? Thanks in advance.
