My PC has been getting BSODs for a while, maybe a year now. There's no real rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it hard locks (screen freezes, nothing responds, caps lock, etc.) and sometimes it BSODs. There is no real pattern in the stop errors, so I thought I'd list them all here. First, however, my specs:
DFI Lan Party UT NForce3 250gb
AMD 64 3400+ Clawhammer (1 MB L2 Cache)
2x 512 Patriot XBL DDR 400
ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 128 MB (256-bit, the real ATI brand card)
Western Digital Raptor SATA 74 GB drive.
Rosewill 550w power supply (I can supply more details if needed).
Currently running onboard Ethernet, Sound.
Using Windows XP SP2, updated whenever MSFT releases patches.
Driver for ATI is Catalyst 6.1. It still crashed with Catalyst 5.1.
Replaced card with GeForce 5200 FX, still crashed.
Using the 6.37 NForce drivers. Read about problems with that version ethernet driver, but not sure if that's the culprit.
Also has crashed while running Wireless on D-Link DWL 520+ PCI card. Card is currently disabled but doesn't seem to affect crashing.
Switching RAM from slot to slot has occasionally remedied problems for a small period of time. System runs cold - 80-90 F.
I have played with voltages, giving ram 2.6-2.8 volts. I have given CPU 1.5-1.55 volts. These do not change the problem.
I have the most recent BIOS, updated just this month from DFI's forums.
My Stop Errors are (most recent posted first):
(I left this one here in case anyone needed a quick preview)
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x100000be (0xf71e0568, 0x073e1121, 0x80548d70, 0x0000000a). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini020106-02.dmp.
***I UPLOADED THE MEMORY DUMPS ONLINE, SO YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THEM NOW. i DECIDED THAT WOULD BE MORE USEFUL THAN A PAGE OR SO OF BUGCHECK ERROR MESSAGES.***

. Let me know if there's any trouble getting them.
Thanks in advance for any advice and help.
I've been pulling my hair out about this for months, and it seems to go heavily in spurts. I'd really like to fix this once and for all.
