I get random BSOD errors and I've been trying to fix it for about 5 days of nonstop software and physical testing. Here are my errors ( a "I" means I've had it more than once):
II 0x00000050 Ntfs.sys
I 0x0000008E iksysflt.sys
0x0000008E win32.sys
I 0x000000A
I 0x00000024
I 0x000000C2
0x00000050 mfesmfk.sys (mfesmfk.sys is apparently a mcafee driver)
I bought a new graphics card to make sure the graphics card on the motherboard wasn't causing the errors and that wasn't the problem so I am thinking about returning it if I need to buy something else. I also tested the SATA and IDE harddrives I have, both passed and they both get the BSOD messages. Both harddrives are running Windows XP Professional. I ran memtest on all 4 sticks of ram testing each port and testing the dual channeling, everything came back 100% clean, all passed. The only things I don't know how to test (I don't have these parts lying around) are my CPU and PSU. I have a Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20GHz. I'm running 2GB ram dual channel with four 512MB PC3200 (DDR400 CL=2-6-3-3) sticks of RAM, (currently 512MB). I'm testing how long my computer lasts with just one stick of RAM, so far after 30 minutes it hasn't crashed or froze but today I only had the mfesmfk.sys BSOD error, other than that it just freezes every time I try to install SP3. Last time I installed SP3 with one stick it froze but I switched the DIMM and the stick of RAM, this is the longest my computer has run since the errors started, yet I haven't tried to install SP3 with this stick and DIMM. I'm posting this from the computer with the BSOD errors. I'll repost tomorrow morning letting you know of my computer installed SP3 correctly. This computer is custom made, is there any way to test the CUP and or PSU?
Thanks for your time,
Nick
(I have attached two minidump files but I didn't read that I was supposed to save them and everyone else seems to have about 5 or six in their posts, mine must have deleted themselves these are the only two in the minidump folder)
