I should pitch a tent here lately 🙂
Well, the virus problems are gone, the booting problems are gone, all is almost fine now. Only problem remaining are random BSODs. They happen 90% of the time when the HD is being accessed, like loading a level in a game, or something similar. It also happens when loading a CD in my DVD-RW drive. My HD is SATA, DVDRW is on IDE1 SLAVE with my IBM drive as MASTER.
I run Windows XP sp1. I have no viruses, no spyware. It happens wether or not my cpu is OCed or not. Memory is running default speed.
This has happened even after a format. I am wondering if the cause of the problem is not the nvidia SW driver? I have the latest version from nvidia's site. I'm also using the latest official nvidia video drivers. My vid card is not OCed.
Maybe I should update to the new beta bios for my board?
I don't usually have time to see the BSOD error msg... I think I saw something to the effect of "RQL driver" or something? maybe IRQ? not sure 🙁 I'll try to see more next time. The error msg varies.
Specs in sig. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Note: right now I am running 1x512mb samsung pc2700 ram.
