BSOD fairly often.

Do not bother, it's fixed

The windows memory diagnostic determined that one stick (SIMM?) of the CENTON PC3200 had a fault after the machine warmed up.

New memory, no more problem.

Thanks

I posted here because it was a very similiar set of symptoms.

 

Excellent! i'm glad to hear it was straightforward to find.

 

Remember me? I'm back. After trying 3 sticks of ram I figured it was my board. Just got my board back Wednesday and it hung when loading windows. I tried reinstalling windows XP and it would hang a bit before you put in the serial. So trying the 3 different sticks of ram made it hang in the same spot. Well best buy had 6800s on sale so I decided to try a new video card today and it hangs in the same spot installing. Then I tried my win2k disk to see if that would work, it got a little farther but hung near the end. Last I tried turning off hyperthreading, this made it get almost to the end of the winXP install, but hung near the end. So I don't really know where this leaves me. CPU bad maybe? My PSU is less than a year old and is a thermaltake 400W, so I wouldn't think it could be that. Anyone have an idea now?

 

this isnt my area of expertise, but i would think the CPU, rather than the PSU would be the more likely canidate. I'd expect a flaky psu to cause the problem in a much more random pattern.
It was a wise test to try w2k as well, certainly helps us buy into it being a problem, rather than an incompatibility
