System Crashes Without Overclocking

[hgandhi]

Hello,

I am looking to get help from some of you experts out there...
I just recently purchased a system and have found that it is starting to randomly give me the blue screen of death...
I have updated the bios, and even found that when I installed PC Probe that my motherboard was at a consistant 45 degrees, and my CPU was around 53 degrees.
I haven't overclocked anything as right now the speed seems sufficient, I just want a stable system.

Here are the specs:

Asus P5B Motherboard (non-deluxe)
Intel Core2Duo E6300
Kingmaz 2GB DDR667 (2 sticks of 1gb)
BFG GeForce 7600 GT OC
Antec Sonata II Case (incl. P/S)
WD 250 gb HD

Any suggestions of how to resolve this issue?

An idle CPU temp of 53C is quite high. I would suggest that you reseat the heatsink, making sure you have the best possible contact between the HSF and CPU heatspreader. Other than that, you could be suffering from a bad stick of memory.

Download memtest:

Burn the ISO to a CD and boot with it. Let it run through all 10 tests at least once. If you get errors, run the same test on each stick, individually. If you find that one stick passes all the tests without error, and the other gives errors, you likely have a bad stick and should therefore RMA the kit.
