BSOD at seemingly random intervals error 0x0000003B
Hi All,
Hopefully you guys can help as i've run out of ideas on a small problem that just wont go away, computer related of course
My computer has always had an issue where occasionally it will BSOD without warning, always quoting a hardware error. Up till now i've lived with it but its finally got to the point where i want it sorted once and for all.
As its always done it, i suspected it may be down to faulty hardware but ruled that out, as it passes stress tests, memory checks, cpu tests with no problems.
I've tried the following so far:
- A nice shiney new graphics card for my birthday which i had hoped that by replacing the old one may magically fix the random BSOD...no avail. Exactly the same thing happens.
- Next up was running the ram stick individually - still the same issue.
- Removed my xonar card - seemed to work as it appeared more stable, but then the same thing happened
Just to give some more info, something that may be totally unrelated but occassionaly, when booting, my system will lock up on the windows logo screen. It will do the fancy spinning thing, complete the logo, then nothing. When the sounds card was in, i used to be able to tell if it had booted correctly as you could hear the sound card itself, tick twice - if it only ticked once i'd know it was stuck.
So what else can i try? Help me windows 7 forums, you're my only hope
