I've got a problem that i can't work out and need some help.
THE PROBLEM - I have been getting about 1 BSOD a day for around 2 weeks now. The machine runs and is completely stable for hours. Call of duty 4 runs for 4 hours solid no probs, windows functions normally... then out of the blue the system BSOD's and closes down. On reboot the hard drive goes through an error check and reboots in to windows.
SOLUTION 1 - In order to try and fix the problem i backed of my overclock completely to stock settings. I reinstalled windows and updated all drivers and then let it run. No joy. Still happens.
SOLUTION 2 - completely removed my components and reinstalled them on a spare motherboard. The hard drive did the same error check and then booted fine in to windows. Ran memtest86 for 5 hours. Ran Ati artifact scanner 1 hour - no errors.
SOLUTION 3 - As all the other components seem to function fine i bought a new Asus Rampage Formula - Fitted this this morning - thought the problem was solved but no it crashed on me 10 mins ago.
Because each time it BSOD's windows carries out a error check on the hard drive my guess is that i need a new hard drive????
Please help as i really don't want to waste more money
