Persistent 0x50 BSOD upon restart, fresh install.
Hello guys, I've got an annoying BSOD on a nearly new computer, and I've tried to exhaust possibilities but can't seem to nail it down.
Windows 7 x64 OS
AMD Athlon ii x2 250 Processor @3 ghz
Gigabyte GA-M68MT-SP2 F1 (w/ onboard Nvidia GeForce 7025/630a Graphics)
ATI Radeon HD 5400 1 GB Graphics
8GB 1333mhz PKR RAM (replaced 4GB Kingston, replaced to rule out RAM fault)
500 GB Seagate Harddisk
It's a custom build from Ginger6
The BSOD keeps occurring even on a fresh OS; I reinstalled last night and it begins happening from the first windows update restart, or sometimes when installing programs.
I've tried to rule out graphics - BSOD occurs both with ATI graphics card installed and also on the onboard Nvidia Graphics - I've used their respective online tools to find the right drivers, so I think they're up to date
I've also tried to rule out Ram faults - I tested the original kingston Ram numerous times on Memtest and Windows Memory debugging - no faults came back but to be safe I replaced with the 8GB PKR
I've ran chkdsk on the hard disk and it came back with no errors - in previous attempts I formatted the drive before a fresh OS install - no joy there
Bluescreen view points to ntoskrnl.exe, and I've tried using the MS debugging but I'm not sure I'm doing it right
So, all in all, I'm at a loss as to what to try next - I figured the experts here might be able to help me out. Thanks for your time, much appreciated
