Hello,
I have been having a number of unrecoverable problems with my computer for the past several weeks. It started with random crashing and memory exceptions errors, which were usually followed by OS/registry corruption. I ran the windows memory test thinking that the ram went bad and it cleared. I then took the hard drives out of their RAID configuration, thinking that the motherboard raid controller could have gone bad, but they both caused issues independently.
Now, even after a fresh OS install on one drive or the other, I will still have random crashing, registry corruption, profile resets, hardware detection issues, etc. Even my mouse will suddenly stop working occasionally on boot, and then the system will freeze up completely.
I was told by a friend that my processor heatsink could have lost contact with the cpu, but it appears to be firmly bolted down. So I'm thinking that I may have a motherboard problem, or possibly an issue with RAM and the drives and the mobo. I did recently have my BIOS settings rolled back, so the battery may be dying. I have ruled out overheating as an issue but am unsure how to proceed. Can anyone offer advice?
I'd hate to have to replace the mobo, ram, drives, etc. Thanks!
