Okay. I posted a lot of these problems and I apologize but everyone says it's a hardware problem. Possibly but I should be able to play Battlefield 1942 with my Radeon 9550. Although, I am thinking of getting a new card. Anyways. Could the BSoD's occur when there is a software problem? Perhaps something is wrong with the PSU. It seems alright on the 3.3V trail and 12Vtrail and okay on the vcore. Or could it be something else? Every game does this to me. Well, any stand alone game with the 3d graphics. What is a possible problem? But aside from gaming I can't even go on the web to do other things. The other day I was installing QuickTax 05 for my dad and it gave the BSoD. I thought I fixed it when I cleaned all the gunk out from the cpu's fan. I think it is a software problem, Am I crazy? Since it's wrecking everything else on my computer I might have to restart the whole thing. Don't have much important stuff on it anyways. I did "A Diagnose" with Fix-It Utilities and it said everything was fine. Btw, "A Diagnose" scans hardware information and data to see any problems occuring in them. For the last time, i'm going with the software problem. And again please post anything that could be a possible problem if it's me jumping off a bridge, I'd do it. :P. Oh, And Microsoft Word BSoD's as well! I lose all my work! I'll have to live in the caveman ages before this thing works! " I'm having such a hardware of a day! "

Personally I would do a system repair to clean up any bad/corrupted files. You can also try an SFC /SCANNOW from the start-run menu. You will need the xp cd for it also. How to do a system repair.--Boot from the xp cd and go past the recovery console to the install menu. Select repair the existing installation. You won't lose any data except the xp updates. Unless you have a slipstream sp1 Or SP2 cd you will have to d/l sp1 or sp2 and all subsequent updates. You MUST have at least SP1 installed and the updates for security reasons. Be sure the firewall and A/V is active before going online as you will be susceptible to sasser and msblaster. http://computervitals.com/

I have the xp por cd in my drive now. do I click Install Windows XP? I'm making sure just in case I don't do anything stupid. " I'm having such a hardware of a day! "

Er.. SFC SCANNOW doesn't work it says the CD isn't even in Drive C:/. I'm not a whiz at this stuff but how do you boot the CD properly. It won't let me access the install menu without restarting and booting. " I'm having such a hardware of a day! "

You boot from the xp cd. Be sure the bios is set to boot from the cd first then hit a key within 5 seconds of the it asking if you want to boot from the cd then follow the instructions in the post above. http://computervitals.com/
