BSOD Errors - Brand New Athlon x2 4400+

[kyleb]

I just built my new system (specs in the sig) and got it up and running today. It's blazing fast, the temperatures are acceptable, and no overclocking has been done yet. The RAM is installed in slots 2 and 4 and the boot SATA drive is on SATA1. I only have one data drive hooked up at this point in time, so two hard drives are going.

I am running a legit copy of Windows XP Professional.

During no particular trigger, Windows will give me a BSOD stating that there was an "attempt to execute non-executable memory" and crash the system. One of the memory ranges given was 0x000000FC (0xBA4CFB9C ...).

It doesn't happen on any specific loading of a program, service, or media.

Any idea where I could start?

Oh, also, I have four removable disk icons in My Computer, but I don't have a card reader installed, nor do I have USB flash drives plugged in. Any clue?

Edit: I have installed the new nVidia drivers for my graphics cards and the new chipset drivers. All the other drivers on my system are up to date as well.

Run in single channel mode which seems to be 1&2 for you.

I tried, the problem persists. I have also tried disabling Mpegport.sys as found on Google, but the file does not exist at all, and is not in Device Manager.

did you try with another fresh install with only bare minimum parts?

edit: not sure if there's anything here for you but ...Text

I have disabled DEP for now, which seems to be solving the problem. I hope the negative consequence aren't too bad...

EDIT: You disabled DEP already : )
