What's causing my BSOD in XP?

[digibucc]

if it were psu i wouldn't expect it to so consistently fail... jsut my reason for ruling it out - does not in any way mean it's not possible

No not that at all Vista is up and running great ! went in fast and is running fast too. I have to get a retail version of this stuff some time .

Well what you need is Win 7. Do it man, everybody's getting it.

well it might not be , what i don't understand is ,does the problem span over two or more boards?

NOW I have tryed 2 Gigabyte MB NEW !!

as for having an xp disc for four years, i really wouldn't rate that as being a positive thing ,as i personaly have had dead sector discs that have been dead on arrival ,can you borrow a friends xp disc ?
i know that doesn't help much, but many of us here can say yay i know how to fix it only for it to be something completely different
take me for instance i had bsod's when i tried running 3dmark, and that was every time no matter what i did,
now me being an electronics boffin i should have checked the powerpack for dry joints burst capacitors etch, but i didn't, and it was only after i took the psu apart that i noticed my mains capacitors leaking, such a simple thing but it messed the pc up
another example was my max payne disc, yes it would install, it would let me load it up but as soon as i got in game, bam it went straight back to windows ,i downloaded it off the web and it works perfectly now, i even checked the file numbers and dates and it was the exact same game (this has happened three times now with different games) so discs can poop up
this is another i wish it was in front of me threads :shadedshu

Well I am incline to agree that disk is done for as well typing on the computer now ! It is a OS Issue . XP is not liking the windows 7 ready MB this is a driver issue with XP being the out dated and unspported OS on all levels now .
