Hi!
first of all great site, I have been using it since I can remember there is always a lo of input. I have always found the solution to my problems here. but for the past 4 days I have been struggling with a (insert your favorite curse word here) BSOD to no avail.
It started out of the "blue". its not like its the first time it happen so i just restarted the pc. worked ok for another couple of minutes maybe even an hour and then i got it again. first it was the irq_not_less_or_equal error no problem there I checked the cpu temp in the bios it was at 49c. normally it wont complaint until 70 ~ 75c grabbed at turbine lassco fan right in front of the cpu. restarted and found that now the windows/system32/config/system was missing or corrupt... another basic thing i said.
so i fixed it by replacing the usual files: sam, system, software, security etc. I rebooted and it started running and I was happy. it had barely finish loading all the usual crap when BAM! again a bsod this time a problem with the nvata.sys error... took care of that by deleting all the drivers from Nvidia as another thread suggested.
failed! BSOD came backthis time as a MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION.
time to take everything apart, start cleaning and testing hardware one by one did everything by the book. everything was fine, the only way for me to have access to the pc was under safemode.
well to end this quickly I tried putting a new hard drive in and a fresh install of windows xp... ZAP MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION right about the time it starts asking for the organization name etc.. JESUS TAP DANCING CHRIST!! got windows vista 64bit ultimate and tried to install it and BANG MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION right after the loading color bars
got HOT CPU TESTER I ran all the tests... everything worked as it should!!! the mobo came out fine to0 no errors!!! the only way for this pc to boot into windows is on safemode. what am i missing? I have been back and forward from every single post to which this could relate. any kind of input would be more then appreciated . thx!! :dead:
