There's been many threads, with different problems, so here's what I'm dealing with at the moment;

I had been getting random BSOD's on my Computer with Vista SP1.
I had it Overclocked and running great for months, then all of a sudden, BSOD!

So I set everything back to stock, tried, and got another BSOD. One time it wouldn't even start to boot into Windows. It just restarted constantly.

So, I left it turned off and unplugged all night, turned it on in the morning and it came on... That's with all the settings in the BIOS at stock.

Also, I ran that Disk Check. It apparently didn't come up with any errors, I didn't see any and it didn't tell me there was any...

And 3 pass' with Memtest, for 3:45 hours and I got no errors!

So, I tried going back to a previous restore point to see if that was the problem... Once it booted up, it BSOD'd AGAIN on me!?!?!

----------------------------------------------------------------

I bought a new HDD, as I was told that was the problem. But, it didn't help... A clean install of Windows on the new drive didn't help anything, it gave me a BSOD within the first day.

So far, I've seen;

0x000000A
0x000008A
0x000001A
0x0000019
0x000000A
0x00000C5
0x00000D1

Any ideas? I really don't know what it could be... I'm going to try XP and see if it does it with that... Could it be the Motherboard.

I REALLY appreciate any help that you can give me!

I'm really, really reluctant to use that 'old' technology!
I mean, I've got Vista here, which my parents bought me for Christmas, so I don't really want to be wasting it... It's been working for months, then all of a sudden;

Wham! Kick in the nuts!

lovely?

its a hardware problem, obviously.

but what? can you try different processors, ram sticks, hard drives, motherboard? even video card lol.

every little thing you try helps eliminate possibilities.

I got the same problem as you with my vista. SP1 screwed up my computer and kept giving me more BSOD's somehow so I got rid of it and I dont BSOD as much anymore. I still do get random BSOD's at very random times though while doing anything. Watching movies, playing games, surfing the internet. It even sometimes BSOD's at start up or when I leave my computer idle! I couldn't isolate the problem either and I have no idea how to fix it, thats why I'm going back to XP soon. Come join the XP train!

Oh also I never OC anything on my computer before so i don't think any of your overclocking has caused this.

Oh and as a side note, I started getting my first random BSOD's after I installed my 8600GT. But even after I took the 8600GT out and used the integrated video in my motherboard that was there originally, it still continued to BSOD. I think its a problem with Vista. Maybe when you install a new hardware it will do this. I don't know.

you said you have a new hdd? try putting xp on it and see what happens. either wipe or a new partition. if it's still a blue screen then you know it's not vista (or the vista you're using... perhaps an incompatible update or something............................... or bad p2p iso)

have you tried booting 1 ram stick at a time?

I will get around to trying XP, Yeah. I have a Vista OEM DVD, so it's Ok

I haven't tried one stick at a time, my RAM has passed 3 pass' with Memtest. (3:45 hours)
