BSOD different messages, different times, quite frequently, no new HW
Hi forums,
Lately my computer has decided to BSOD at very random times. The last one was while I was typing my first post here and had only this window open. I read several posts and articles on the internet about it and a lot of them pointed to RAM issues. I previously had 4GB ram. I ordered a new set, and figured I could upgrade a bit and went to 8GB and so the problems were still there. I've ran memtest86 on each stick, each slot, and no difinitive answers. My computer does not seem to run hot, my fans crank up during BIOS but quiet down as I load into Windows. My GFX card had been making some noise a few weeks ago and so I took the case apart and used compressed air on heatsinks and ducts and anywhere I thought that dust would be an issue. The noise went away, but the problems presisted. I'm wondering now if the video card has gone bad (Radeon HD 5770) since it has it's own memory which would be inline with RAM suspections. Hopefully I've followed the instructions on how to post here and will be uploading my forum-created info file. If i can provide any other information please let me know. I'm on the verge of a full rebuild without the full amount of money in the bank
