cpu: Core2duo E8400
gpu: Radeon HD 4890
mobo: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P
ram: 2x2GB Corsair 1066 5-5-5-15
hdd: wd caviar black 640gb
psu: Thermaltake Toughpower (W0116) 750W modular
case: Coolermaster 690

Everything worked for two days, the first day i installed vista 64 business (from msdnaa) and it was fine.
Next day i started to update and install things:
1. All the drivers from cds mobo, gpu, monitor, dvd
2. Then i switched cpu multiplier from 8x to 9x cause it was by default too low. (2.66 instead of 3ghz on load)
3. Linked internet and started to update vista + download programs i needed
4. At the end of the day when i installed SP1 restarted like 3 times without problems.
5. New Ati drivers , restarted and fine.

Through that time i was copying stuff from my lap which has adaware, avast, windows defender and firewall working.
It was running for maybe 8 hours, cpu temp 26-32C, system 44C, gpu ~60C
And then i noticed new updates in 'windows update' lik 5-6 (the "important" ones) + ie8 (i dont know why i took it)
Restarted, and when windows starts it bsod's for half a second, and reboots.
Safe mode runs ok and it finished updating, i tried 'repair' and recovery from cd but it didnt help, also i checked all cables.
I tried uninstalling last updates in safe mode, but there are no hours of installation only the day so i dont know if sorting by date works.
I dont know anything about voltages but clocks look ok in bios:p

Please help :confused:
 
Knowing the BSOD error message would be helpful but it's most likely a hardware failure related to that bumping of the cpu multiplier. Although, at those low temps, it seems unlikely that anything should fail. You can also try running memtest to verify that your ram is OK.
 
Ok, ive found the option how to make bsod to stay on screen, and it says REGISTRY_ERROR.
