problems with BSoD

Name: Anonymous 2006-06-24 7:39

Okay, so I've been having computer problems for the last year or so.

My problem is crashes, as in blue screen of death.

I built the following computer from parts I bought off the Internet about 2 years ago:

AMD 3200+
DFI "LanParty" motherboard
1 gig Corsair Platinum DDR ram
Radeon 9800 Pro (128MB)

After some time I began to have a problem with the computer BSoDing on a seemingly random basis.  As time went on the crashes became more common.  When I tried to install a second HD and couldn't get it to show up in my BIOS, I decided it was time to take it in to the shop.  I didn't take it to some retarded coorporate place like CompUSA or anything, it was a small computer parts store run by nerds that I thought would be a trustworthy place.  Anyway, the people there ran tests and ended up determining that my motherboard was broken when they hooked it up to another comp and couldn't get stuff to work.  I got a new motherboard, an ABit NF7, which fixed the problems with my second HD.  I assumed then that my crashing problems would be fixed as well, but no, they continued.  I took my comp back to the shop and they used some stress tests to determine that my processor was bad.  I bought a AMD 3000+.  Still crashed.  Brought it back to the shop, got my old processor back, ran more stress tests and determined that the RAM was causing the problem, so I got some Kingston RAM to replace my Corsair.  For a long time there were only 1 or 2 crashes, and I thought I was good.  But then recently, since summer started, I've been having more crashes.

The crashes haven't actually been completely random, they tend to occur when I am running a lot of processes or using a lot of RAM.  At one time it got so bad that I couldn't even play Starcraft, but now it only seems to die when I am doing something like running a lot torrents.  The fact that it was okay for most of the winter makes me wonder if it's not overheating.  Also, I remember someone once saying that it could be the powersupply, since that would cause somewhat random crashes and wouldn't react to stress tests.

Anyway, what do you guys think?

If you are running XP, then the Bsod should tell you WTF is causing the problem. eg my bsod tells me that its a hardware problem and the video driver failed to load. What does you bsod tell you?

not necessarily true
when my psu was failing, i was getting a lot of random IRQL_NOT_GREATER_OR_EQUAL errors.

Yes, I usually get IRQL_NOT_GREATER_OR_EQUAL.

According to my monitering software, my voltages are fine, but I'm thinking it might be my power supply anyway since it's the one thing I haven't tried replacing.

Additionally you should be certain with regards to the option of the fabric. Flower garments made from delicate material including Organza or chiffon will want far more care, and so better select silk, cotton or perhaps polyester clothes. From time to time long gowns trouble the kids and don’t allow them to take pleasure in their freedom of  Additionally, choose a details neckline and also straight midsection. These will probably best improve your waistline thus making you look older in your wedding outfit. <br>  <br> When most brides consider their bridal party, http://www.publicdress.org/Plus-size-Dresses.html  women s dresses plus size  they possibly image their bridesmaids and maid of honour in matching outfits and shoes http://www.publicdress.org/  formal dresses . even although you choose your wedding http://www.publicdress.org/Plus-size-Dresses.html  plus size black dresses

Don't change these.
