Try reading using the "event viewer" to see whats causing the problem if it's software related. This link will tell you how http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;302542&sd=tech It's how I found a video driver that was the correct one but was causing similar problems.

Have you tried running memtest86? sounds like a stick of RAM just died

Mastametz · Dec 7, 2004

i just ran it...passed no errors... prime95 fails in less than a minute however... no clue why...

* I should probably add that i don't get the BSOD on boot, it just does it out of the blue all the time.

I would make sure that your HSF is proprely seated on your prossor and the fan is running.

Did this version of windows ever run well on this machine? Have you had it installed previously without problems?

Its probably occuring because your OS is downloaded - look in your sig for the reason - "Windows XP Pro Corporate SP2". Where do you purchase the corporate edition? :eh?:

I would obtain a legitimate copy of XP then try your luck again. It is quite possible that downloaded files can be altered or missing components.

If you wanted to test it anyways, I would run another program which loads your CPU, like toast (available at www.majorgeeks.com), and see if just warming up your CPU causes the error. If you are lucky, it will just be a poor thermal paste application or HS mount.

the one in my sig is my personal computer...not family comp... family comp was built by a store... has one of those goddam recovery disks and not a real windows disk... it worked fine for awhile on the first install (this being the second), and then after some time it just decided to stop working well. In an attempt to fix it i (sort of) removed the thermal pad and put on AS:V.... that thermal pad doesn't come off very well. If all else fails i'll try cleaning it better and re-applying AS:V.

You should follow this guide, and reapply your paste:

temps are fine..i won't bother reapplying paste for now (i'm lazy). but the BSOD normally occurs when logging off. it does it at other times too, but that's most common...dunno if that helps any...

I.M.O.G. · Dec 16, 2004

It sounds like you are getting poor contact because the pad didn't get removed completely... If you are fairly sure that isn't worth trying, then you should download the latest driver versions for all your components from the manufacturer websites.

Mastametz · Dec 17, 2004

well i already tried the driver thing.. how could the first thing be the problem if temps are fine? is certain parts of the core getting hotter than others that are read by the diode or what?

um..i don't see what this has to do with me..

I take it the family comp is an OEM comp. You said you just put some more fans on it, and pretty much rulled out a cooling issue. Memtest shows nothing either, It probably isn't the processor since it will boot to windows. I'm leaning towards the PSU, maybe it just started to die. OEM comps are notorius for having bad PSU's in them. If not that, have you checked the HD for errors, viri, or spyware?

Mastametz · Dec 17, 2004

ya i was thinking the psu as well...

Mastametz · Dec 18, 2004

What do you make of this?

Aphex_Tom_9 · Dec 18, 2004

uh, the important voltages appear to be right on target, dunno about the negative ones...
also, core1 is the ram voltage. isnt most ram today rated for 2.6 volts to run stock?

Mastametz · Dec 19, 2004

it's a 256 stick of corsair platinum 3200... i'll try bumping it up..
