Hi, currently my pc has its unfair share of problems. Often, when I am playing a game (mainly hl2, sometimes farcry) I will get a box with a message saing : 'The Instruction at 0x####### referenced memory at 0x#######. The memory could not be 'read' I sometimes also get lockups and bsod (just a blue screen) when playing a game (maily hl2 for those two). I am not sure which bit of hardware is causing the problem, I have rmaed the motherboard, run memtest for a few times on the memory which makes me think that it is my video card. If it is the video card I will simply get a new one and bin my current one (oem card ).
My system is not overclocked and its specs are:
ASUS A7N8X-e dlx mobo
AMD XP 3200+
Mushkin 2-2-2 special 2x512 bh-6
ATI 9800 Pro 128Mb
Creative Audigy 2
2x Maxtor 160GB S-ATA in RAID 0
I can do things like ray tracing, f@h etc with no problems so I do not think that it is the cpu.
Does anyone know of what could be causing the problem, I am using the 5.1 drivers, dx 9c win xp sp2, 1011 bios (newer ones just have samsung mem support and sempron cpu support. Temps are fine. 20C case, 46 CPU load. Thanks for any help/adive that you can give.
