Around a month ago, my computer was getting random bsods and made weird noises. I ran memtest86 and found a bunch of errors, so I thought it was the ram and replaced it. Before I received the new ram, i formatted a bunch of times and each time I did it, I would get the same set of errors and random blue screens. Additionally, I'd have trouble installing Windows and would essentially have a 1 in 10 chance of successfully installing(so i'd have to keep doing it until it was successful).
I'd like to mention that right before I received my new RAM, I opened up my case and saw a thick layer of dust resting on the heatsink of my cpu below the fan. I cleared this and found that my problems drastically decreased. I was now able to play games without fatal erroring and wouldn't blue screen anymore.
When I received my new RAM with Vista, I formatted again and everything ran smoothly for the first 2 or 3 weeks. Fast forward to now, and I am blue screening all over the place with PFN_CORRUPT, win32k or other random blue screen messages. In addition, the sound is very choppy and I can even get IRQ blue screens when I watch movies. I even uninstalled the sound card drivers and the sound is still choppy. I will lock up randomly and fatal error in games. Basically, all the problems I had before have returned.
Many have suggested that this might be a power supply issue. What are your thoughts? I'm not sure if the sound being choppy might have to do with the power supply. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
