Hello,

I've recently put together this computer that consists of:

Abit IS-7
Pentium 4 3.2Ghz Processor
Leadtek GeForce 6800 128Mb
Corsair TWINX 1024Mb PC4000 PRO Ram
Terratec EWX 24/96 Soundcard
1 x Samsung 160Gb
1 x WD 120Gb
Seventeam 400w PSU

At first all seemed fine, but then in about two weeks it rebooted twice... once when I tried to run Doom 3 in Ultra mode and then when I set AA and AF to maximum and tried to run Vice City. That is with default mobo settings.

As I tried to tweak it a bit, enabling CPC and running it in "Turbo" mode (one of Abit's settings for PAT), I get an immediate BSOD when I try to start windows (it was a reboot, but I disabled automatic reboot) with the following message:

Page_fault_in_no_paged_area

***Stop: 0x00000050 (0x906B942C, 0x00000000, 0x806BBD3A, 0x00000000)

What can I do to single out the problem?

Thanks in advance!

are all your drivers up to date?

Unfortunately they are. :(

Are there specific programs for me to test the ram, the videocard and the processor? If those aren't to blame it must be the mobo.

*SIGH*. I'm getting tired of this stuff, hardware is too whiny.

Thanks

i agree, gimme a PS2 any day of the week!!!

Have you tried reseating the memory? Reseating the processor? Is the processor new? Is the mobo compatible with the (2 sticks?) memory? I have a mobo that takes only one stick of the fastest memory it can handle.

HTH

Yeah,

The processor is a brand new 3.2Ghz Northwood Pentium 4 and the mobo supports the 2 sticks of memory.

How does one reset the ram and the processor? Never heard of such a thing before.

Thanks.
