Please help me

[Xyspin]

Let me preface this by saying thank you to anyone that has any input.

I own a SN25P Shuttle Xpc computer. Inside I have...
AMD 3500+
2gigs of corsair pc400 ram
Nvidia GeForce 6800

Now to my where the problem begins...
I use this computer for gaming almost entirely. In the recent months I have had an increasing number of instances where any game I play crashes. Sometimes I end up with BSOD's that tell about a physical memory dump. Sometimes I just completely lock up. I can see no pattern to the crashes. Sometimes I can go a really long time without crashing, othertimes it's every 2 mins. I hate to spam, but the following error is what's stated when World of Warcraft boots me out. I have googled all the errors I've gotten and I haven't made any progress. A similiar error is drawn up when Warcraft III boots me out, and anything on the steam engine.

Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Nick Vedros

Please, for the love of god, help me

You're new to forums, aintcha? Please, for the sake of trying to forumlate a thread title which will actually make it easier for you to get the assistance you seek, read this article:

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Use meaningful, specific subject headers

On mailing lists, newsgroups or Web forums, the subject header is your golden opportunity to attract qualified experts' attention in around 50 characters or fewer. Don't waste it on babble like “Please help me” (let alone “PLEASE HELP ME!!!!”; messages with subjects like that get discarded by reflex). Don't try to impress us with the depth of your anguish; use the space for a super-concise problem description instead.

No worry http://www.memtest.org/
that will let you know if you have a memory issue.

I'd bet memory and then plunk in a new PSU to see if that helps. Maybe try a reformat, too.

Memory. Mine was doing the same thing i had a bad card of ram and it was terrible if you have two sticks try them one at a time

Could this possible have something to do with the page file not being large enough?

If you set it super tiny yep.

 

[Xyspin]

I didn't set it to anything. But if there was a leak somewhere, however that happens, then regardless wouldn't I still just eventually crash anyway?

I have a little more information I realized might help narrow down the problem. It has seemed like lately I can go for a long time before crash, depending on what im doing, but then once it crashes, regardless of whether I restart or not, it seems to have a higher frequency of crashing after that. Sometimes it just chain crashes after that point. If I turn the computer off and leave it alone for a while it seems to be more stable after that.

Thanks a lot for the help so far, I appreciate all of your input.

I am about to run the memtest, we will see what that turns up.

I would check your temps. That might explain the increased frequency of the crashes and the more stability after you have had your computer off for a while.

That sounds like temp problem.
Are you more stable on a cold boot then a reboot?

 

[Xyspin]

Yes I am more stable on a cold boot than a reboot. What temperatures are within reason. I will check the sys temps next time it does it.

Heat for sure if your better with a cold boot. Sure its not a PSU?
