Hey
I just bought that new nice rig, six years after my last one:
Case: Full Tower - CoolerMaster CM Stacker
Power Supply: 650W Antec Trio
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Conroe E6700 (Dual Core 2.67GHz - 4MB L2 - 1066 FSB)
Graphic: ATI Radeon X1900XTX
Mainboard: Intel Bad Axe (Intel 975X - 8 x SATA RAID - 3 PCIe x16)
Memory: 2048 MB DDR2 PC6400 (800MHz - 2 x 1024MB Dual Channel) Corsair
Sound: Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic
Storage :
2 x WD Raptor SATA - 74 GB (16MB - 10'000RPM) - in RAID
1 x 250GB (7200RPM - SATA2 - 16MB)
Optical Drives:
16x DVD Writer 8.5GB? (Double Layer)
16x DVD-Rom
LAN: Gigabit 10/100/1000M
As you guess, it costed me some money, but as it's been 6 years since my last rig, I decided to buy a good one.
Now I'm experiencing IRQL_DRIVER_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL crashes. Sometimes I get that nice blue screen, sometimes the PC just restarts without warning. That happens often when I'm playing BF2, but also when playing other games, or even when just surfing the web.
I brought the PC back to the shop, they told me they update the RAID drivers, and reinstalled it fully. This didn't change a thing.
So I used Windows Memory Diagnostic tool to check the RAM. The basic test succeeds no problem, so does MEMtest86+ v1.65. But when I run Windows test in extended mode, I get 5 errors on MATS+ uncached test (well I think it's that...maybe WATS+ ? if both are possible I'll check for the right one tonight and upadte my post.)
As my shop runs memtest and say it's the best memory tester, they hardly believe it's a RAM problem as the test passes no problem.
In short: I spent a lot for a lovely rig that makes me lots of trouble. Any help would be very, very appreciated. If you need more infos, please ask, I'll post that.
