Intel dual 3 gb cpu
Asus P5N motherboard
2 gb ram Ballistix (1 + 1) dual channel
saphire 3650 video
auzentech 7.1 audio card
3 SATA drives (2 x 120 gb and 1 x 250 gb)
Corsair single rail 650 PSU (new)
LG dvd burner
- all compnents are less than 1.5 years old or newer
Winxp pro
all drivers and updates current
no new hardware or software added in last month except updates
clean (no virus or spyware - I run weekly checks and backup's)
My pc blue screened 4 times last night. The blue screens indicated different error codes each time (I'm not at my pc so I don't have any other info). The crash logs provided no info at all. It also blue screened while trying to boot into safemode. I used Hiren's boot disk 9.5 to test ram - one stick at a time. Both passed checks with two of the testers but failed with the other...I think it was gold's - it was the first in the list on the boot disk. Sorry it was late. I tested the hard drives (passed)I also ran Pc-check (Hiren's) and everything passed except the cpu stress test, which instantly failed.
Since I'm getting different failures in systems using various testers is it safe to assume the problem maybe in the motherboard and not the individual components?
Cheers
