Asus A7v8x motherboard via KT400
Kingston PC2700/512 memory
AMD 1800 cpu
powercolor radeon 9000/128
Antec 400 watt psu
Maxtor 60gig HD
Win XP pro
any game i try crashes shortly after starting game. either reboots or goes to blue error screen if set that way. I get no driver fault info just mem dump numbers and error at Hex ******** whatever.
It never did this after building computer at all, was fine for months. Now its constantly doing it.
Have tried several radeon drivers, different via drivers. fiddled with all bios settings i could think of. Updated bios as well and yet it continues.
Oh, doesnt help to change memory, tried that too. Video card isnt overheating either.
BTW, it will also crash "sometimes" if i run adaware or Spybot Search and Destory, no other program will crash it, and it will run forever if online too. Also updated DirectX too. Just dont know what else to try
