Hi!
My system: 3000 amd64, asus a8nsli, ati x800xl and 1gb corsair ram, win xp
pata samsung hdd, sata maxtor diamondmax 10 250gb
So it began:AFTER ONE YEAR OF PERFECT STABILITY an old hdd in my system ran slower and slower, so that i removed it and installed winxp on my 1 year old samsung hdd. everything was ok, but then immediately, without any clear reason to me, blue screens appeared
page fault in non paged area, config initialization failed, irq not less or equal etc.
my first thought was, that my old hdd broke up and has maybe ruined my samsung hdd to. so i decided to buy a new hdd (maxtor diamondmax) to exclude an hdd error as a reason for the bsod.
so i formatted the brand new hdd (full formating) and tried to install winxp.
the first bluescreen appeared WHILE installing (?!?!?), but i couldnd read it. when windows was installed, i removed every hardware, so that only cpu, hdd, mainboard an ram were left. but still bsod apperaed. i removed one 512 ram-module, but still bsod. then i tested the other module - still bsod. i made ram tests for 4h (memtest), everything ok.
its strange: my system works, but is not stable and many programs are closed sporadically (e.g. zone alarm, explorer, i-explorer etc...)
when i try to install drivers, a lot of errors occur: ati catalyst cannot be installed correctly: 0x05 errors
when i try to burn something with nero: config initialization failed bsod.
i do not understand anything anymore.
i think the problem must be a hardware one, since the bsod appeared while installing windows to a totally formatted hdd, while no other software is active.
Are there any programms for testing my motherboard, cpu, or graphic card?
Has anyone had a similar problem?
I am very very happy for any hint!
Please help me!! Thank you very much!
lovely greets
