Random crashes and errors

[Gillbot]

After upgrading to my Q6600 from an E6550 then E3110, Everything was fine for a while. Now, I am getting random errors for various EXE's and the system slows to less than 486SX16 speed. I thought for SURE it was my Firestix (d9 Microns) dying as this is what happened when my last set died. After multiple hours of memtest, ZERO errors!!! I'm now at a loss as to what is going on.

Hijackthis comes back clean, AVG finds nothing. Housecall Online finds nothing. Pretty much any and every spyware/virus scanner comes back clean. I know a format would be recommended but alas my cd's are in storage for the next month so that is NOT an option. Any thoughts?

reformat. I wouldnt go through 3 cpu hardware changes without formatting.

go fresh w/ your fav cpu.

Well, in all honesty this installation has gone through more than 3 cpu changes. I

AFAIK, it went from:
Shuttle Socket A
AMD Athlon 64 x2 3800
AMD Athlon 64 x2 4400
Intel C2D E6550
Intel Xeon C2D E3110
Intel C2Q Q6600

I think I might have missed one or two in there also. All I can say is Sysprep works wonders during a hardware change!!

Interesting....

My brother recommended uninstalling AVG and so far so good. I think AVG was leaking memory over time causing the system to crash. Only time will tell though.
