Errors with the Computer - Many BSODs of various types
Hello,
This is here because I think the error might have to do with a driver, but I'm really not sure, so I'm posting it anyway. Specs: AMD 64 3200+ MSI K8N Neo Platinum 1xCrucial Ballistix 512MB BBATI 9800 Pro w/ Arctic Silencer Two HDDs LG DVD Burner OCZ 420W PSU (All running stock timings/clock speeds). This computer has a long history, with a screwed up Windows XP Home w/ SP1 installation, and the current one, a Win XP Home w/ SP2 both on the same drive. I am getting many errors. Some of them come when I try to run any 3D application (video games...). Some of them just come at random times. They vary from a PFN_LIST_CORRUPT, to Stop: 0x8E, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, and a few others. I have attached some minidumps from the last few days, and have more if needed. I am currently running Catalyst 6.4, with updated AMD drivers, as well as updated chipset drivers, BIOS drivers, etc. Any idea where the issues might come from? I was thinking about the video card, which is why I'll probably buy a $40 FX5200 soon just to do some testing, in case the problem isn't solved soon. Any help is very appraciated. Thanks, prexus |

Some of your minidumps crash with memory corruption.
I suspect you may have a ram problem. Go [URL=http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic35103.html]HERE[/URL] and follow the instructions for testing your ram/hdd/page file etc. Regards Howard ![]() |

Well, I ran memtest for 6 hours with this ram module, and go no errors, so I'm not sure it's the RAM. I might get a differernt 512MB module just to test. Any other things that might be related?
Thanks, Prexus |

Please be aware that some faulty ram can pass Memtest. You should also check that your psu is putting out enough power for your system. A faulty or underpowered psu would give you the same kind of errors in your minidumps.
