Hi all,
First post so please bear with me as its a relatively long story.
I have had a PC which was built myself less than a year ago, and was running fine until recently. I have started getting numerous BSOD's (Page Fault in no paged area / IRQ less than equal etc) on this PC. Initially i checked the harddrives and memory etc and discovered a problem with the memory. I have sent this back to E-buyer where i bought the parts from and recieved a replacement, the same happened with the new memory and also with another replacement after that. This memory i had bought was the extra value non branded variety and i have since managed to get e-buyer to replace the 1Gb chip with 2 512Mb PC3200 CL3 Kingston modules. During the period i was without the memory I had borrowed a couple of PC2700 128Mb chips from a mate and these seemed to run without a hitch.
I have installed the Kingston modules in the PC. There seems to be a strange problem where by when the power is turned of (for inserting the memory) it will not power up again. I need to play about with the power plugs and on/off switch at the back of the case a couple of times before i can get it to power up. Anyway after installing the memory last night i turned it on and it booted fine. And then suddenly it BSOD's (page fault) again. Now i'm not sure if its just coincidence but it happened at exactly the same time as i switched my Xbox off.
What i guess i'm really asking is that if power issues with the case / 4 bar adapter could cause memory issues like this. The case has a 400W power supply and i don't believe i'm taxing that at all.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Grant
