Bsod

(Yes, again... I know, right!?) :rolleyes:

I had my computer OC'ed for a ages, and suddenly started getting BSODs. Which was strange as it'd be completely stable for months!

I had initially though my RAM (4 x 1GB Crucial Ballisitx) was faulty, so I ran Memtest and it all came out clean. I then thought maybe my board didn't like having all four slots full, so I took two sticks out and used it for a bit, and didn't get any BSODs. I also swapped the sticks around to see if Memtest had missed anything, but it hadn't. They all worked. I removed my OC and carried on using it just fine.

Today I brought 2 x 2GB sticks of Kingston Hyper X and put 'em in. Installed Windows, booted up and used it for a while just fine. I then OC'ed again, booted and started to use my computer when I got a BSOD. So I lowered my OC and booted again, after using it for a little bit, I got another BSOD.

So I've reset it all back to stock for the time being to see how it goes.

Here's the settings I was using;

CPU Core: 1.44375v
CPU FSB: 1.40v
Memory: 2.2v (though the packaging says 2.3v, and the Kingston site says 2.2v?)
nForce SPP: 1.5v
NF200: Auto

My FSB was 1515 with the stock X9 Multi, giving me 3.4Ghz. I left all the voltages the same and lowered the OC to 3.2Ghz, but I still got a BSOD.

Any ideas? I think maybe the PSU has taken a beating over time?

Click to expand...

Can you use the old RAM? And have you tried to up the voltage on the RAM? Do you have another PSU to test? And also, what happens, or what does the BSOD say?
 
I have the old RAM still, why?
Well, it was at 2.2v. I didn't want to put it any higher.
I don't have another PSU, though I can see how many watts it's using. So I'll hook that up and see.
It just BSOD's. I only caught one stop code before and it was 0x000000A (I think).
 
This computer is giving you way too many problems, just sell/return it and build a new one. It's been months since it's been running smoothly, hasn't it?
 
I only had a brief chance to catch it, but I think it was 0x0000A1

If I can get a memory dump, I'll try and upload that.
