Hi Guys,
1st post here but I've been combing the forum for a while looking for answers. If someone can help me I promise I will post which solution resolved the problem.
I've got a Dell dimension e510, 1 GB of memory win xp media center edition. Only addition to the stock machine is a Radeon x700 video card.
I've been getting the BSOD for months now and cannot figure it out. I've run both memtest and windows memory diag for a few days with no errors. Have run a disk check as well. Tried running with just 2 mem chips at a time and still get BSOD's.
Have found Dell has a BIOS upgrade for the chipset--installing this doesn't seem to help.
Hoped a rebuild would help so I moved all my data off and tried the Dell system restore which seems to just blast the drive and drop a fresh image on it. The BSOD's keep coming so I can only assume it is hardware at this point.
I found ATI released some new video drivers for MCE a couple weeks ago so I tried installing them yesterday. Hopefully this will work but given my track record so far I'm not holding out much hope.
In the meantime, I do have a nice collection of minidumps that I was hoping some of the folks here could take a peek at and offer some advice? It would be much appreciated!
