Ok, built a new system.
Install was ok. XP/Vista dual boot
When playing games (stressing system) it started giving me BSOD and reboots and XP install became corrupted. As well Vista became corrupted with lots of errors during use.
BSOD errors lead to me getting replacement MB and RAM
2nd Install was ok. But then same problem! I ran some games and stress software and it made the reboot/crash errors happen again.
So, I am thinking it has be 1 of 4 things left:
1. Bad CPU e6850
2. Bad PS CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 620W
3. Bad HD Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB 10,000 RPM Serial ATA150
4. Bad SATA cable to the drive
I am leaning towards #2, Power Supply or #1 the CPU. The HD is fine for all data transfers including installs. The system only crashes when playing a game or running a stress test like included with ntune. The 8800GTX is from another system and has been totally fine, as is my X-fi soundcard, so it's not those.
Temps, are good, I was monitoring them before the last fatal crash in XP, and all temp were totally good.
The system only crashes when running a game, or running the stress test. After a few crashes the windows install becomes corrput to the point that I can not reboot in to windows.
When I do it either restarts by itself, hangs or gives me a BSOD.
It's interesting, even the Vista parition becomes corrupted after a crash in XP. So something is messing up all over the HD. Very odd.
Everything runs fine until it starts crashing and then something becomes corrupt and it's all over, a reformat is needed.
This the worst build I've had and I've been building them forever! Any ideas?
Thanks for listening... it's taking up so much time, it's killing me
