BSOD with multiple error codes.
I have been having the following problems with my system at different times of use. I play Star Wars the Old Republic and use my PC for email, facebook, and other small tasks.
System Specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium x64 (OEM)
AMD Phenom II X4 820 (2.8 GHz)
Nvidia Geforce GTS 450 (EVGA)
6 GB RAM (3 x 2GB) DDR3 PC3-10600 MB/Sec
500w Thermaltake PS
The System was purchased from Best Buy in December of 2010. The model is HP p6674y.
Here is what I have done so far:
I installed the after market video card and power supply in mid January of this year. It ran fine for three weeks then the blue screens started. I tracked the stop codes and tried to isolate whether or not it was hardware or software related. I found some threads with HP printers being an issue so I removed my new printers drivers. AVG was also showing up so I installed Avast.
None of this worked and my comprehension is limited. I performed a system recovery to avoid any more hassle but it still blue screened. I also removed my video card to see if that was the cause but it still crashed.
Next I thought my system was overheating. I do not know the legitimacy of system temp programs and the acceptable temp range for a CPU to run at. Knowing that, I pulled the side of my tower off and used a small desk fan to cool it. I also used compressed air to clean the heat sinks on my CPU and all other parts of the motherboard. It still went to blue screens with the cooling steps taken.
I followed the instructions and have attached the necessary zipped files. Hopefully they work.
Thanks.
Ben
