Constant, seemingly random BSOD

[Carmen813]

I have no idea how to fix this error.
I'm running Vista 32-bit Home Premium.
Relevant Hardware:
Athlon X2 4200+
590 SLI Nvidia Motherboard
Logitech G15/G5
Radeon 1900xt
SB X-Fi
Using built in networking, have a flash drive plugged in for ready boost.

Using latest Creative Drivers, and Catalyst 7.12. I tried 8.2, it made things worse.

It creates memory dumps but I don't know how to open them. I ran memtest and the built in windows diagnositic, everything checks out. I'm really at a loss.

Any ideas?

Remove your x-fi sound card and its drivers and see if the problem goes away.

if it's a hardware issue then my guess'd be motherboard if you've tested the memory. but it may not be. what i'd do is do a fresh install of windows on a separate partition and then see if the problems persist. if they do then it's likely hardware.

I tried uninstalling the X-fi a couple days ago to try that and it didn't solve the problem, it BSOD almost instantly. It seems to happen under circumstances where the hard-drive is under lots of stress. For example, it often runs for hours perfectly fine then BSODs. upon reboot it BSODs again almost instantly.

I'm really at a loss. I installed Prime95 to try that out and it fails almost instantly, indicating a hardware problem.

Does anyone know of any utilities I could use that would stress solely the CPU?
