I just built myself a new computer, and 2 days after its up and going, I start getting the blue screen critical error while playing my games. What I would like to know is how to find out specifically what the problem is, weather it be some software or hardware problem that can be fixed.
I'll rundown some information so that it may be easier to diagnose my computer... maybe.
cpu: AMD 3500+
mobo: MSI K8T Neo2
ram: 2x 512mb pc3200 (ddr400) kingston
gpu: ATI x800 xt (agp)
sound: Audgity 2 6.1
as well as 40gig HD, 120gig HD, 1.44 floppy, cd-rw and dvd drive.
My cpu is running at about 40 degrees right after bluescreen according to bios (wich is a fine temp as far as i know) so i dont think my cpu is overheating. I considered that my videocard may be overheating because it only seems to bluescreen during graphically intensive games. I had all updated drivers for bios, mobo, gpu. windows updated fully, including service pack 2. My first thought was the videocard was the problem, and at somone elses suggestion i tried different drivers from omega for the x800. The problem was still there so i took out my videocard and poped in my old geforce fx 5600, that is after i removed all the video drivers. After the my old fx 5600 was in i got the latest driver. I didnt know weather to be happy or not, but either way the problem was still there, so my x800 was not the cause to the bluescreen'ing as far as i know. I now have my x800 back in and I kept the omega drivers for it.
Is there a way of monitoring my system to find out what goes wrong to make the system crash/bluescreen? Maybe a way to decode all that jibberish that the blue screen displays.
