Hi there. I'm hoping you can help me. Around 12 months ago, I was getting either total PC freezes or crashes to a BSOD, reporting STOP error 124, now and again whilst playing World of Warcraft. After reseating the RAM and graphics card, they seemed to stop, with just the odd one now and again. However, in the past month, they have returned tenfold. In addition, I am now getting BSODs when just using the internet. I can have three in 20 minutes, or go a couple of days without one. They are driving me insane!
I've done various RAM and HDD tests but nothing. I updated to SP2, but they still happen. I would very much appreciate any assistance you can offer.
I'm using Vista 64 Home Premium, full retail. The PC and Vista installation is just over two years old. My PC specs are as follows:
AMD ATHLON™ 64 X2 6400+ (3.2GHz) 2 x 1MB L2 Cache (Socket AM2)
4GB CORSAIR DDR2 667MHz - (2x2GB)
ASUS M3A: AM2+, DUAL DDR II, S-ATA II, 3 PCI, 2 PCI-E
64 BIT WINDOWS® VISTA HOME PREM
160GB SERIAL ATA II HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (7200rpm)
20x Dual Layer LightScribe DVD Writer ±R/±RW/RAM
512MB RADEON HD 3870 PCI Express + DVI
8 Channel Realtek ALC883 High Definition Audio
500W (Peak) Quiet Dual Rail PSU + 120mm Case Fan
SUPER QUIET 22 dBA AMD CPU COOLER
3 PORT IEEE 1394a FIREWIRE PCI CARD
I'm hoping I've attached everything as I should have. If you need any further info, please let me know!
Many, many thanks.
