Hello Everyone,
I just assembled a computer for a client of mine but it's been nothing but trouble for me. The stupid thing keeps restarting and giving out BSODs at random times. I am stumped and extremely pissed off. This is what the PC has:
* Intel Pentium D 3.4Ghz CPU
* Asus P5K EPU
* 2x Kingston DDR 800MHz DDRII 1GB
* Generic Nvidia 7600GS PCIe graphics card
* Cooler Master Extreme 500W PSU
* 320GB Seagate 7200.10 SATA HDD
* Windows Vista Ultimate.
* Creative Soundblaster Live! 24 bit PCI sound card
* LG DVD Burner
At first I couldn't install Windows because it kept giving me random BSODs during the Windows install so I reseated the RAM and that went well and I didn't have a single problem. I've installed everything else on there without a hitch. Now it is restarting when I click on the volume control in Windows. It's becoming a pain in the butt and I'm not happy and neither is my client. When we install XP, it will come up with a BSOD saying ntfs.sys error or some pagefile error on a blue screen. I have a feeling that the brand new Kingston sticks of RAM is faulty?
The computer boots perfectly everytime and POSTs picture perfect everytime so I doubt a faulty motherboard, but then again I could be wrong.
Thanks.
