Hi Folks,
I would like some help, advice, direction with some on-going problems with my computer please. I'm pretty computer savvy but I'm stumped.
Built below system some 18 months ago. All good but after about 8 months BSODs, various fixes etc etc failed but found that the MB had a defunct SATA port and posibly damaged by numerous crashes and re-boots.
Re-built 6 months ago with replacement MB and again ok until about a month ago and more BSODs. Discovered faulty stick of RAM, being replaced, re-installed from scratch but still fault after fault etc etc (Grrrr!).
Have read and followed this sub-forum sticky, checked and cleaned, re-seated all components etc etc. Ran Memtset86 v4.0 and found a 2Gb stick of RAM faulty, the other clear of faults. Cleared pagefile, but still had BSODs both without pagefiling and with managed. Please see attached zipped minidumps.
Temps - CPU 28-33 and MB 30-37 max under stress.
Win XP SP3 on:-
Coolermaster CM690 with x3 10cm case.
Corsair 750W TX PSU.
ASUS P5Q Pro P45 775 on initial build and then an ASUS P5Q De-luxe P45 775 (never oc'd).
Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33GHz, with Scythe Mugen 2 Rev B (never oc'd).
Corsair 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 1066MHz/PC2-8500 XMS2 Dominator Xtreme. Now running with fault free 2Gb. (I know, only 3.25Gb was used/seen)
2 x Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB SATAII 7200RPM 16MB.
2 x LG GH22NS40 22x DVD±RW DL & RAM SATA Optical Drive OEM.
Sapphire HD 4890 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI TV Out PCI-E (never oc'd).
Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express.
All in 1 Internal Card Reader Plus One USB2.0 Port Black - 3.5" Bay.
USB KB and mouse.
I have re-formatted the OS partion and re-installed, had problems with that (would posibly indicate hardware problem?)
I think possibly the faulty RAM has damaged MB or other, an u/k fault which has caused re-boots which in turn has damaged the MB, or internet related I.e. router, onboard network interface port.
Event Viewer, System, shows after re-boot, TCPIP and DCOM faults and then nothing to indicate anything before crash/BSOD.
But to be honest I've come to the end....
Many thanks in advance for any help/advice/direction.
