all my parts were from cyberdyne except the HDD & DVD

Normal Case:rolleyes:
450W PSU (Chaintech)
MSI G33M (Intel)
Intel E2160 (1.8Gh Dual Core)
2G RAM (can't remember the name now...)
SAMSUNG DVDr
160gig IDE Samsung HDD
ATI Radeon HD3650

Keeps BSODing. Took it into repair place, they swapped out everything and it still keeps on BSODing. I have a suspicion that they didn't try with another mobo or PSU which is why I'm taking it to another place to get checked out. Memory has passed memcheck, and I have reinstalled windows/linux on it more times than I care to remember.

Hardly goes a day without screwing up at least twice.

OK sycogrim... have a go at it...

EDIT: Just realized I'm a ponce. Mods... please move to hardware section...

Well what you can do is firstly remove ur CPU, the cmos battery and the ram leave it for about 5-10min then place everything back in there.... and just in case remove all power sources and hard drives to the board...

also try updating ur BIOS...
 
Various. I don't have enough money to buy the bandiwdth to send you all my memdumps.

Usually it's got to do with the graphics card driver (ATI in this case) but it was the same when I was using the onboard "GPU". Lemme just go check quick...

What do I use to read minidumps?

Tried updating the BIOS. Didn't do a thing.

Just for my info... why remove the CMOS battery? I tried it with the ram and CPU, but it didn't help...

yeh maybe you should swop ur GPU temporarly with someone elses and try it like that....

Removing every power source to the board pretty much resets it so you can re-do the bios ur way....
 
see it gives ATi related stuff, I am 99% sure even after a format its drivers and/or the physical card.

Remember even if you use your onboard, the Ati Drivers are still resident and in use on the system!

Yeah - but I used the onboard graphics first... that's when this started happening. I thought... ok... maybe the OGPU is crewed... went out and bought the ATI. It also gives errors wrt the onboard sound. Other things as well... but I don't know what to use to read the minidumps, so I can't be specific...
 
The crap thing is... the guys who took it last time (after I had had enough sh1t) said they swapped everything out... and that just seems silly. which is why I want these other dudes to double check. If it's the mobo... fair enough... get a replacement and Bob's me uncle. If not... then I have the ghost of Davy Jones in my case...

Does it BSOD before or after the POST screen?

During operation...

Playing movies, mp3s, games(razza frazza DOTA disconnects), photoshop - day long forum post-whoring sessions, flashy websites etc... Maybe if I just stuck to reading Harry Potter - TXT Edition - it wouldn't bomb out, but I don't think I could be that lucky...
 
What OS are you running, and as mappie asked, what is the BSOD error...or does it flash BSOD then restart? The 1 device they can't replace is your HDD (since its got your data on it), it could be faulty

Doesn't sound like an OS problem if it keeps happening after you reinstall it

Well... Win XP - though I have tried with Linux (and because Linux is a better OS than XP - it takes much longer for it to restart... I can watch movies, play mp3s, surf any website... for much longer)...

By the way... I have tried with multiple hard drives and both OS's on those hard drives. Both SATA and IDE.

Hate to repeat myself... but how do you view minidumps? I have never opened them up before, so I can't be specific unless I have help with this question.
 
Well... it's working. Apparently the other shop I took it to didn't even try the fscking CPU. :mad::mad:

Going tomorrow to have many (nasty) words with those fsckers...
