Hey guys and gals, first time posting here so Ill give as much info as possible. First off, my rig:
AMD Phemom II 1075 X6
8gb DDR3 ram
730W PS
Nvidia GTX 470
500 gb HDD
250 gb HDD
ASUS M4A785TD-M EVO motherboard
Windows 7 ultimate 64bit
this issue began back in late April, I noticed usually when gaming that the computer audio was cutting in and out and frames were being drawn slowly, not that the frame rate was slow but like you would enter a building and there would be no textures for 30-40 seconds as the game slowly filled them in one wall at a time during this time you could move around the interior of the building at 40 fps but there was no texture. Anyway this started after a recent GPU driver update so I rolled them back and it did not make a difference, this was only happening on a few games so I just stopped playing them and continued using my PC for other games that didnt have issues.
After a few weeks of this I started getting crashing / BSOD's very often and sometimes after reboot my PC wouldn't post and other times It would restart like normal, I always got the same 3 BSOD codes: 0x00000050, 0x0000000a and 0x00000010. I ran chkdsk and HDD checked out, ran memtest and the memory failed, so I purchased and installed new ram and the BSOD's continued. all my temps seem good. I am set on upgrading my computer soon so I just dealt with it for the last few weeks until today. I decided to rule out OS corruption and reformatted both drives and re-installed windows and all my drivers. i left the house to get some lunch and came back to a BSOD again, 0x00000050. after a reboot everything came back up but now windows is not showing my F drive ( the 500gb drive) or my external 1tb drive? I went into the drive manager and found the F drive totally formatted with no assignment, when I left the house I had steam installed on the F drive and it was assigned the drive letter F. I had to re assign it and lost everything on it. like I said I am planning to upgrade to an i7 later this year so its not a big issue but I just would like to figure out what is going on. any ideas?
as a side note as I tried to post this I got a bunch of memory access violations then got BSOD code 0x000000a, PC rebooted right up.
