BSOD happens on different processes after few min of work
I've started getting BSODs lately. It happens usually after 5-10 min of work - doesn't matter if I'm gaming / browsing / using Picasa.
I've tried the following to rule out issues:
- Started Windows in safe mode. It happened there as well but it took longer than usual for the BSOD to appear.
- Checked the CPU temperature. It's around 30 degrees C at all times, which looks normal. All other temperatures look normal as well.
- Booted the computer with an in-memory OS called Puppy Linux. It happened there also. Not a BSOD, but the computer restarted after around 15-20 min. That's why I ruled out re-installing the OS.
- Tried disconnecting/replacing different hardware parts: tried a different graphics card, tried replacing the memory cards, disconnected the CD drive. Nothing changed the BSOD behavior.
- I also tried leaving the computer idle on the BIOS setup screen for a whole night. That time it didn't crash, but I don't know what I can make of it.
I saved dumps from 3 consecutive crashes that happened on the same evening. You can find them here: alpinegoose - Pastebin.com
I don't have an extra motherboard or CPU to try and replace them, and if I'm going to buy a new part, I want to be sure that the part I'm replacing is really the faulty one.
I'm kind of helpless right now, so any help would be appreciated.
