Hi, i get consistent BSOD when trying to use Zonealarm 4.5 on my new PC.
The specs are:
Mobo - MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
Ram - 2 x Corsair 512MB PC3200
CPU - AMD64 Venice 3000
PSU - Antec Neopower 480 Watt
Graphics - Sapphire Radeon X550 256mb PCI-E
HD - 2 x 80gig SATA
OS - WinXP Pro sp2
When using ZA4.5 everytime the True Vector clients starts when the pc boots up i get the bsod.
So far, i have:
- Tested the hd with seatools which came up clear
- Tested the ram with memtest (together and individually) which came up clear
- Ensured all latest drivers for all hardware
- Cleaned inside of case and most component connections
- Checked compatibility of hardware
- Tried different combinations of ram in different slots.
After all the above im still getting the BSOD's and im beginning to think i have some faulty hardware. Weird thing is, the message changes when adjusting the ram. Regardless of which slots are used when both sticks are in i get the 8E message but when just one stick is used i get the 50 message (and thats with either stick). So im wondering at the likelihood of BOTH my sticks being faulty so im wondering whether it may be my mobo.
I know this version of ZA works with this version of windows I have installed as it works fine on another PC which is running the exact same OS.
I have some minidumps with both the 8E and 50 messages - if someone could take a look at them it would be MUCH appreciated. If it turns out I have some faulty hardware i might be able to still arrange an RMA.
Any help/advice appreciated.
