I recently built a new computer with the following specifications:
ECS NF650iSLIT-A LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor
GeForce 8800GTS 320MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card
GeIL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2
(Here's all the parts I bought off of Newegg)
I had no problems assembling the computer or installing anything. In the begging I even ran every game I installed fine (TES IV: Oblivion, F.E.A.R, Civ IV, Doom 3, to name a few). However, when I installed Battlefield 2 and completely updated it I got a BSOD. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled the game without any patches and it still blue screened. I just chalked it up to bad drivers, since the video card was new and I had heard complaints of crappy drivers. However, a month or so down the road and it still doesn't work and since I've tried installing other EA games (LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth, C&C Generals) and these give me the exact same BSOD. I tried everything recommended by these forums (updated all drivers, all latest Windows updates, latest BIOS, memtest, chkdsk, etc.) and nothing worked. However, researching the problem, I would guess the problem would be my PSU. It was the only thing I skimped on at all. Though, I would like to be sure this is the problem before I drop another $100+ on a new one. Thanks for any help guys.
