"i built my desktop about 3 years ago for the purpose of gaming and just a good computer to use (didnt have that 2 hour crashing laptop then). so i bought all the parts off newegg and put it togther. now i installed everything but i cant get games to work and it proceeds to give me a BSOD. in the process of 3 years. i have sent in my Mobo 3 times to Abit sayign that something is wrong, they sent it back. I ran tests on the ram, nothing came up. changed the graphics card 3 times. had AMD replace my CPU once.
after three years, i got more skillz in computer driver issues and i am positive that i installed eveyrthing correctly this time. yet it still crashes when i play games, sometimes it doesnt crash all the way (BSOD) it just quits out of games saying that there is a critical error and it must be closed. i checked the heat and everything and nothing is over heating."
everytime i play games, it eitehr just BSOD's me or the game quits saying that there was a critical error. Normal programs like firefox and AIM also bug out alot, it makes the cpu run at 100% and i have to open task manager to close it manually.
Error code 1000008e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 18171717, parameter3 a81d5988, parameter4 00000000.
after posting that in another forum and got little response. i went on the good old google to do my own researching. Many say that it is a driver issue, which i highly doubt because i changed EVEYRTHING on my computer. i even took out the soundcard (which caused another error...). others say it is a ram issue, i ran memtest86+ and got flying colors. but i hear memtest doesnt find all of the errors and i might have to get more ram anyways.
im just making sure, do i need to buy new ram to fix this problem?
Processor: Amd Athlon XP 3200+
Mobo: Abit An7
Memory: two sticks of 512 ddr 400 ram pc 3200 (kingston's VALUERAM... sigh)
Graphics: im not quite sure... i changed it alot, i think its the ati radeon 9600
Soundcard: i ditched that and started to use the internal mobo one
cd drives: i have 2, but i forgot the speicifics of them. ones a normal cdrom drive, the other is a dvd burner
Powersupply:480 Watts
here are about 5 minidumps too
