Hi I recently got a new system and returned it as an RMA as I was getting various problems. They sent it back to me and :
The company I got it from said they tested it extensively with Prime95 and other such tests and as far as they are concerned there is no hardware issue.
However why, when I get the pc back and leave it running for a day, do I begin getting random reboots and BSOD's which vary but include:
pfn_list_corrupt
The system is trying to access memory beyond the end of the allocation. This usually indicates a system-driver synchronization error.
irq_not_less_or_equal
bad_pool_header
rundll32.exe has stopped working on eventual successful reboot
blue screen of death stop codes relating to : ecache.sys, fltmgr.sys, ntdll.dll
side bar has stopped working
System specs are:
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 GO 2.40GHz Quad Core CPU Overclocked to 3.30GHz and beyond. (8/9 x 400MHz - 1600MHz FSB)
- Tuniq Tower 120 Pro Blue LED Intel approved cooler
- Arctic Silver 5 Heatsink
- Abit IP35-Pro Intel P35 (Socket LGA775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
- Award winning Crucial 2GB Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500 CAS5 (2x1GB) Dual Channel Kit (Overclocked at 1000MHz+)
- 500GB Western Digital 16MB Cache SATA-2 Hard Drive
- NVIDIA 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) DirectX 10 Graphics Card
- Pioneer 115DBK 20x DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter (Black)
- Antec NINE HUNDRED Gamers ATX Case
- OCZ 600W Power Supply
But they say nothing is wrong with the hardware.
Also after they returned it to me I upgraded to latest version of Realtek HD sound drivers and now I have no sound even if I rollback / uninstall device in hardware manager and remove software and return to a driver version I know is signed and works.
Strange thing here is that I get the Realtek driver added correctly in control panel and windows toolbar... it says the card is working, then I go to play a song in media player and it says no card detected. No yellow ! in device manager, but its not working and no sound is coming out.
Have I corrupted drivers / boot sector or something somehow? with a bad driver install or something ? Or is something I am plugging into my computer like the router or mouse messing things up ? I have updated firmware for all my peripherals and I have latest mobo drivers which came with my pc anyway.
Would it be worth format > install Vista 32 again ?
Help ! It is very frustrating to be sat on my old pc when the new one is sat at my feet in a useless state.
