BSOD and driver blackouts
on Wednesday, I did a major upgrade to my PC. Now I am getting occasional BSOD's. Another strange thing that is happening is that the drivers (display, network, etc.) will seemingly stop working, then come back online in 30 seconds or so, but windows shows no notification of them not working. Any assistance diagnosing these issues would be appreciated.
I have run a 5-pass, high quality memory test and found no errors.
Specs before upgrade:
Asus P5LP-LE Limestone
Intel Pentium D 820
3GB DDR2 RAM
250GB Caviar HDD
GT440
2X IDE DVD-RW
Conexant Falcon II NTSC Tuner
Ralink Turbo WiFi
Specs now:
Gigabye 870A-USB3
AMD Phenom II X6 1035T
8GB DDR3 RAM (PNY optima)
250GB Caviar HDD
GT440
Conexant Falcon II NTSC Tuner
Ralink Turbo WiFi
I have another 4GB of the same type RAM shipping right now, along with a SATA3 DVD drive.
