Random BSOD's
Hi there,
I am hopefull that someone can help me with my reoccuring BSOD's as I am getting towards the end of my patience.
I had a XFX 8800GT Graphics card in my machine, the system was stable and to my reccolection no BSOD's before this point. It burnt out and so I replaced it with the current Radeon HD5850, Thus Errors started occuring whilst playing games, surfing the internet, playing music/ videos from the HDD and while the system was idle.
I recieved the following various BSOD's:
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_EQUAL_NOT_LESS
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
(possibly others i can't remember)
I tried the following things:
-Updated to latest graphics drivers
-Updated latest mobo drivers and bios
-Tested graphics card in an other machine - no problems for 3 straight days
-Tested all 4 RAM sticks individually and each of the slots
-Tried just 2 sticks of RAM at a time
-Reinstalled Windows on the C:// Drive
-Unplugged 2 main HDD's and installed Windows on a 80GB HDD (one i'm currently using and providing the minidumps from) which only had Windows Updates, Graphics driver, Malwarebytes, MSE, and Java installed when i got the first BSOD(BAD_POOL_HEADER)
-Restored to before the Java Install which seemed stable for an hour or so.
Anything else I can try?
I apologise for the long post but i thought i would try and cover everything i had done so far.
Thank you.
