I installed Civ 4 last weekend. Today Civ 4 crashed and that was the beginning of a landslide.
BF2 won't start without IRQL_LESS_NOT_EQUAL BSODs and nv4disp.sys BSODs and other horrible crashing problems.
I tried cleaning my drivers and installing the 78.xx video drivers to no avail. I also updated Windows.
I've ran scandisk, Ad-Aware, Spybot, defrag... I send error reports to MS, but MS says they're corrupted.
I also get quite a few "STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER"
Any ideas?
This is the gaming system in my signature.
Update 11/7:
I stopped the OC completely. Same problem.
I reinstalled Windows. Same problem.
Now in order for the system to reboot, I have to unplug the power cord. Even then, there's only a 50/50 chance that it will start. The computer is booting random drives, the USB ports lose power, and it only occassionally wants to go into the BIOS. I also got a parport.sys BSOD.
Event viewer has this:
"The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: 6."
I also get a 7 and a 3 where the 6 is.
I'm thinking motherboard.
