Frequeny BSODs on new computer

[Prauss123]

Hi,

I recently built my computer, around 2 months ago. Just about a month ago, I've been receiving frequency BSODs (around 4 - 5 times per week now). I've ran Prime95, Memtest and other checks on my computer, they all seem to be fine.

Here are the components of my computer if it helps. I am using Windows XP Professional SP2 for my OS:

Processor: AMD Phenom II X3 2.6Ghz
Video card: Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 512Mb GDDR3
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500Gb SATA2 OEM
RAM: OCZ DDR3-10666+ 2048Mb (2 x 1024Mb)

The crash time is normally right after I log into windows, when all the processes are initiating.

Here's my most recent minidump log:

Microsoft (R) Windows Debugger Version 6.11.0001.404 X86

Any comment, suggestions, insights, solutions and help is appreciated! Thank you!

Did you run MemTest86 on only one module at a time and for at least four hours or seven passes, whichever is longer.

Is your memory full strength, or is it value ram?

What is the brand and model of your power supply?

 

[Prauss123]

Hi rabay,

Yes I ran MemTest86 on both modules for over 100% testing, no errors.

My memory I would probably classify as full strength since it is DDR3 and it operates at 533Mhz. Plus it's OCZ

My power supply is a OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W ATX 20/24PIN Active PFC Power supply. It's a modular power supply so I can change the different wires to accomodate from different components, which is kinda neat. I should also mention that my PSU runs at like 80 degrees idle!

Thanks

I am assuming that by "both modues" you mean one at a time for the full four hours each.


Don't have a clue, but my cynical self finds the problem is usually in the video graphics card or the video graphics drivers...

We never consider memory "full strength" and OCZ is no better than any other brand.

But my guess it you will find the problem is in video card or driver, or a memory module... unless your CPU is getting too hot from too much thermal past. What do your temps show? Or what are you running at the times the BSOD's shut you down?

Yeah it miiight be the my video card or drivers since ATI has a record of producing...unstable...hardware. However, if my video card were to be faulty, I think I would've seen symptoms as soon as I started using it. My video drivers are all updated, but then again some parts might be corrupted.

I normally get BSODs about 10 seconds after I log into my account. So basically, I get a BSOD when I just begin to use my computer and had not opened any programs.

Could it just be an ACPI driver problem? But then again theres that ntskrnl error..

Thanks for the reply

UPDATE: New error message! I left my computer idle for around 20 minutes and I got a fatal system error!

STOP: c000021a (Fatal system error) 0xc0000005 (0x16f000e8 0x033ff1ec)

Any more help / suggestions about either errors is appreciated!
