I just put together a pc with
MSI K8NGM2-FID mobo
A64 3000+ venice
patriot 1G(2x512) 2-3-2-5 1T
SATA 200G hd
installed XP SP2, after all the programs are installed (anti-virus, spyware, firewall, etc) and all windows updates, the machine showed the Blue Screen Of Death (Stop 0x00000077 KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR)
i read through microsoft's Troubleshooting "Stop 0x00000077" or "KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR" and eliminated the possiblility of virus and hard driver failure, so now it comes down to either the mobo or the memory.
I then got memtest86+ and upon starting the memory test after reboot, it went through all tests with red error, all i mean ALL OF THEM! and stop at test #8 i think.
CPU-Z reports both memory sticks running at 2-3-2-5-1T as advertised, all settings in bios are set to auto except for Memclock Value is set to 166MHz (if i set it to auto, the memory will run at 400MHz, so i lowered it now its running at 333MHz).
other bios settings:
# CPU to NB Frequency: 1000MHz
# NB to SB Frequency: 800MHz
# CPU to NB LinkWidth: [16 down, 16 up]
Lowering the memory speed didn't help too much, now it seems like the BSOD is less frequent, I havent had time doing intensive windows test but did manage to burn 8 DVDs without encountering BSOD (about an hour straight, then it was left on for 2 hours without a problem) So, basically, i dont know the pattern of BSOD happening.
I also ran a program called CheckIt to test memory in windows (a 3 mins test) and all the tests passed. Anyone can help me solve this?
bad memory?
bad mobo?
wrong bios settings? (dont know the bios version, but bios date is 2/7/2006 so i think its v3.2)
or else?
Thanks so much!!!
