I have an older Dell Optiplex 745 running Windows XP. I'm using it to run Mach3 CNC controller and it isn't compatible with 64 bit OSes. So I haven't seen a need to upgrade the machine or the OS. I haven't installed any new hardware or software in a couple years and it isn't connected to the internet. In the last few weeks I've seen a few blue screen errors even if the machine is just sitting idle. The errors are getting more frequent though. It happened a couple times over the weekend. I ran memtest86 and chkdisk on it and both passed without any errors.
According to MS "This problem occurs on a computer in which Windows XP or a later operating system is installed on a hard disk that is configured as a subordinate and no other device is connected to the same IDE controller channel (primary or secondary)."
Does this sound like a failing MB or HD to you?
Any help would be appreciated,
Chris
