Hey, back again with more problems.
For those that didn't see my earlier thread, I've been having problems with games mostly on my new PC.
SPECS:
AMD 4400+ X2 Dual Core
A8N-SLI Premium (BIOS Ver. 1008)
BFG 7800GTX (2 in SLI)
2x1GB OCZ Platinum DDR400 PC3200 RAM
Western Digital Raptopr 74GB SATA HDD
Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 500GB SATA HDD
NEC DVD+/-RW
Belkin Pre-N Desktop Wireless PCI Card
Silverstone ST60F 600W Modular PSU
Windows XP Pro SP2
I believe the problem I had earlier was caused by one of my 7800GTXs that was defective. The one I have taken out caused BSODs in SLI and by itself while the one that's still in right now hasn't given me any trouble.
However, in the mean time, I've a different BSOD a couple of times now. It says PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGE_AREA and a little research tells me it's either the RAM or the hard drive causing it. I've run Memtest86 to make sure it wasn't the RAM and after 5 passes, it hasn't picked up any errors. Earlier, I had run Microsoft's memory diagnostic and it DID pick up some errors but OCZ tech support told me to bump up the voltage, so that may be the difference. I ran Si-Soft Sandra's burn-in wizard on a 10 run loop and it didn't seem to find any problems either (it's my understanding that any kind of problem should show itself here usually). The only thing that even looked less that perfect was it showed the 12V rail at 11.61V for the max, min, and average.
I thought that this probably means the hard drive is kaput, especially after the last PAGE_FAULT error came while I was installing Far Cry. Also, my PC seems to take a long time whenever I try to apply the BF2 1.03 patch, and even though it says complete, it doesn't seem to actually do it (actually, in game it says I'm running version 1.1.256 if that makes any sense).
So my question is, is there anything more extensive than checkdisk (which came back totally clean BTW) to check my hard drive? Also, is that voltage on the 12V rail bad? I know you want as close to an even 12 as possible, but is would a different of .39 be causing any of these problems? Also, the AsusProbe shows the 12V rail as 11.9V constantly. Which do I trust?
Thanks for any help, and sorry for the long-winded post.
