I just built my first PC on Monday, and I've been having a hell of a time. First, the video card was defective (eVGA 6600GT), and I'm pretty sure my RAM is faulty (PQI Turbo 1x1gb PC3200). I already ordered a Sapphire X800Pro 256mb and Corsair XMS 2x512mb RAM.
Specs:
MSI K8N Neo4 mobo
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice
PQI Turbo 1x1gb
(currently, old card) PNY GeForce FX5200 PCI 128mb
Xion case w/450w PSU
Seagate Barracuda 200gb 7200.7 UATA/100
Pioneer DVD-RW
Windows XP Professional w/SP1
It seems like just about any program I run gets an error and needs to close. IE, Firefox, Download accelerator, AIM, HL2, etc etc.
I also get frequent BSODs...24, 50, 7E an 8E. Also says something about Win32k.sys.
I will post pictures of the BSODs for full details, and I can post my minidump files as well.
