Okay...for the longest time I has GeForce FX 5200 card that kept causing my windows to crash and go into a loop of not wanting to restart. After some time, it would finally boot into windows, until the next crash. Well I finally replaced the video card with a Gigabyte ATI 9600se, reinstalled windows and all drivers. Well now when I try to play a game it crashes after 1-2 minutes, and goes into another loop of trying to load windows....and then finally boots up. And randonmly I am getting BSOD non page faults......I have replaced my cables, installed the minimal drivers....i.e. only Video drivers....and i get the same results. I have upated all BIOS on my motherboard and video card and have the lastest drivers on everything. What else can I do. Any other advice. And yes I have turned off fast write to the video card.

I ran the extended test in Memtest86 and my ram is showing no errors.


LAST NIGHT
I changed motherboards last night, put in the new vid card.....went to reinstall windows and when i got to where i was reformatting my hard drive, everytime, it would BSOD with a non page fault error, which it also did with the old motherboard. Well I swapped out video cards and then the computer would just freeze during formatting. So i then took out a stick of ram, and then it would complete the formatting but froze at a 100%, then i restarted rand a quick format, then it worked fine, then it froze as windows was setting up. Well this morning I get up and restarted and windows installed completely and everything....I cannot figure out what is causing this problem....only thing that I have not changed in my computer is my CPU and ram, everything else is new. What do you guys think?
 
Faulty AGP port? I'd suggest if you have access to it loading your card and HD in another machine and seeing if you can replicate the problem.
 
You said it yourself, you haven't changed your CPU.
It may sound strange but try underclocking your processor. It may be heat related. If that helps, get a new Heatsink.
 
I have an Antec 350w and my computer would crash occationally. I had bad burns with my lite-on always at 97~% (around when it hits max speed), and I few times I got "your 9800 is not pluged in" on boot though I hadnt touched it at all. I moved the cables around and it seems to be better. Make sure you give the video card its own cable.
 
Run some harddrive diagnostics. Can usually find them from the manufacturers website. Sounds like the hard drive is going bad.
