Hi, I have a problem with BSoD's and cannot get to the bottom of it (nor can local PC shop)
Spec is as follows:
Medion 5030 Intel Pentium 3.2
512Mb RAM
Win XP Home Edition SP2
256Mb nVidia GeForce 5200
Netgear DG834G ADSL Router
BT/Yahoo Broadband
McAfee AntiVirus Online and Firewall
There are 3 partitions C, D, E, XP is in C
I run Flight Simulator 2004 (FS9)plus many add-ons (not now!) in D.
The problem started with my beloved Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. Now I have used this no problems for 16 months, and it only seems to crash in FS9 and now when performing a test the PC boots up three or four times in succession. Yes FS9 is "heavy" graphically with all the add-ons but I have run extensive tests and to no avail. It started in January and I have formatted partition C and re-installed XP. exhausted my options and don't know what to do.
* Hardrive checked - OK
* RAM checked - OK
* Motherboard - new in Oct 2005
* McAffee Online - reckons no virus
* System Mechanic 5 - checked registry and defrag
Maybe there is a possibility of memory leak? How do you check this? I can send some minidump files (I can't decipher them)
Tim
