Hi,

Please post your post your minidumps as attachments.

You might have to zip them.

I can tell you now,it`s most likely caused by a driver not working with Vista.

Hello Po'Girl,

Thank you very much for replying.
I included the attachment with 4 minidumps.

Bumped for great justice.

Do you overclock the CPU or graphic card?

I find ATITool is installed. Change it to factory setting if you overclock the CPU or graphic card.

 

[Khabaal]

ATITool was installed, but I de-installed it.
So is Rivatuner.
I have set the values of the graphic card back to factory default, as the card is already running hot at default.

You can try this:

I don´t know if it works in Vista. I have used on W2k.

Tell me if it works for you!

Hm, thank you for your reply aleph, but it's just that when I have a bsod, I have to reboot, leaving me no option for a windows program to start.

Never heard of Recom psu. How many amps on the 12volt rail?
You need at least 30amps.

I see iastor.sys and classpnp.sys calls...

Could be a problem with the SATA controller, Hard Drive(s) or memory

 

[Khabaal]

I got myself the box of the psu and it says under DC output -> 12V -> max 26.0A .
Now the graphic card says: minimum 400w or greater system power supply
(with a minimum 12V current rating of 26A)

So could it be, that being at the minimum rating is causing the bsods?

Thanks for the input,
Khabaal

At tmagic:

I went to device control and the hard drives and the Intel ICH8R/ICH9R SATA RAID controller shows no exclamation mark.
What could I do to provide a solution or to further investigate this?

Thank you,
Khabaal

You're running 312 watts on the 12v line... try a bigger supply. To figure out watts, the formula is I X E or in this case, current 26 (amps) X 12 (volts). You are running what we call a "No Name" supply

 

[kirock]

The 450W rating is a peak maximum, for a noname brand use 65% of this for continuous power, therefore 0.65X450=292.5W Pfff. An overworked PSU can damage any component in your rig and/or cause any number of BSOD issues all looking like hardware corruptions. So eventlog files and such don't always work as a diagnostic tool. You end up chasing ghost issues around in a circle.
