Hello all, am new to techspot, so bare w/ me....
I have been having problems w/ this pc...its a custom built system (Athlon x2 5200+, 4 GB OCZ pc6400 dual channel [2 - 2GB chips], XFX Geforce 8800GTS, asus crosshair mobo, 500w psu, WD 320GB sata and Raptor X 150 GB drives). I had a problem w/ randoms lock-ups and blue screens....typically while playing games....tried different things, then decided to reformat hd and reinstall windows.....I have an upgrade disk for vista, so I reinstalled xp and all drivers first....all was well....but several attempts at reinstalling vista crashed at various points durring the install....I finally decided to switch sata ports and moved both drives from sata ports 1 and 2 to 3 and 4......vista installed w/o a hitch as did drivers, a/v and about 20 different games (World in Conflict, Crysis, Kane and Lynch....ect.....and all run fine w/o crashes now) my first issues was w/ FEAR...it would make it to various points of the install and crash w/ crc errors (same symptoms as the vista install)....also have this problem w/ about 70% of the things I've attempted to download from the internet....hellgate london and COD4 game patches for example...occasionally durring attempted installs after downloads....but mainly durring periods of inactivity, the system will crash with various bluescreen errors "PNF List Corrupt", "IRQL Not Less or Equal", "Page fault in nonpage area"(regarding ntfs.sys) , and "Bad pool header" to name a few.....I am attaching 3 zip files w/ the minidumps I have collected since the reinstall...any help with this would be greatly appreciated! also, all drivers are up to date, only issue w/ that is nvidia nforce drivers....manually downloaded drivers for 590 amd sli then tried option 2 for nvidia to automatically find drivers.....it lists me needing nforce 680a sli drivers....so just for the sake of doing so I uninstalled the first set and installed those...still no difference
one other note...I have tried a diff. ram setup w/ 2 gb dual channel (2 x 1gb) corsair xms2 pc6400 chips and the same problems persist so I'm thinking I can eliminate a ram issue??? Although the reinstall has greatly reduced the problem, its still annoying me...lol...again, thanks for your time
