Hi all.
I have been having problems recently which I have researched as much as I could without replacing parts but I have had no success, so I am here to ask someone with a bit more knowledge if they know what the problem is.
I have had blue screens occuring more and more over the past few weeks. My old HDD was full and worn out so I bought a new 500gig to see if starting fresh would help. I was able to put Windows XP on it, a few days later I was updating to SP3 when I got many errors again. I tried to repair Windows XP back to before installing SP3, but now I go through the setup proccess and once it gets to 100%, it blue screens with the PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA 0x50 BSoD.
Everything I have looked at and what people have told me is faulty ram, or my motherboard is on its way out. Both are approximatly 4 years old and well worn. I tried different RAM sticks, but the problem still persisted. Do I need a new motherboard, CPU and RAM? Does it sound like my PSU (AcBel 510watt) is underpowered?
My setup is;
Windows XP Home Edition
Pentium D CPU 2.66GHz (2 CPU's)
Acbel 510watt PSU
Intel Desktop board D102GGC2
1gig DDR2 533MHz RAM
500gig HDD
8600GT Graphics card
DVD-ROM drive
2 Case fans
+ 2 fans connected directly to MB
Wireless router card
All parts except MB, CPU and RAM have been replaced from the original system I had.
I am a gamer (strong games such as Lord of the Rings Online), so I have been told my games could have worn out my MB and RAM.
I cannot get any information off my HDD such as minidumps because it no longer has an OS (it crashed during setup so now I need to repair it, but I can't get through the process without a BSoD). I have also tried two different WindowsXP setup discs to see if one was corrupt.
If anyone could say what it sounds like, or what I can try, it would be most appreciated.
Reply if you need anymore information about error messages etc and I will remember best I can.
Cheers.
