Hi all,
Having a complete nightmare with my PC at the moment... For the last 4 or so months it's been BSODding only very occasionally, but within the last 3/4 weeks its gone crazy!! I've tried all sorts:-
- disabled overclocking (now running back at 3.2GHz)
- done the memtestx86 without problems
- done chkdsk, done maxpower, no problems
- reinstalled windows xp with all latest drivers (full re-format job)
I can't see any heat issues, as my zalman HSF keeps the CPU nice and cool (never goes above ~45°C when trashing it).
The BSODs don't appear to be linked in any way that I can figure out, for all I can tell it's random - sometimes I'll be gaming, other times word processing, web browsing, even leave it on all day to come back to a BSOD when it's been sitting doing nothing!!
So I've resorted to calling upon your community knowledge and wisdom, as I wish to keep some of my hair instead of pulling it all out!
I've attached a 5 minidumps (only this many since windows re-install... 3 days!!!). I've tried looking at them in the windows dubugger, but I really don't know what I'm looking for in it so kinda gave up
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Again many thanks,
Seb R
