Well for about half a year now i've been getting almost all possible stop errors, i've got the 0x8e, 0x5, 0xA, 0xC. what ive been thinking of is that they come when the computer is under alot of stress, maybe i'm playing a heavy game, or handeling huge PSD files...

i have a 2ghz AMD, radeon 7200, and 256meg 333 ram. i've replaced the sticks twice and its still the same.. my power supply is 350 watt and my last one burned about a month ago, the question is.... Can I get a stop messages frmo lack of power ?

Dear friend,
For the best of my knowledge
you cannot get error messages due to a faulty power supply,what you can get are
random reboots or lockups.
I still strongly believe that something is wrong with your memory ;either the module,the RAM slot on the mother board itself or being that the memory module
is not made to run at 333Mhz so check the
make of your module(specification number printed on the module on the manufacture's
website)and also if possible test with an
alternative motherboard.A suggestion if you
like;Avoid using a single 256mb module instead go for two 128mb module this will
protect you from having total failure of ram
since it is highly unlikely that both modules will fault at the same time

Just make sure that you have the correct ram for your system. IF its ddr is it the same speed and it's made for your system? Also check your processor speed, make sure that its not overclocked more then it can handle. If you do have it overclocked?

damn, u know the crazy thing about this is that we actually changed the ram stick twice already and I ran the memory test for 12 hours(ddint finish but didnt have any errors)... Another reason for this I think is the fact that my video card is sharing same irq as one of my usb thingies... i changed my computer to standart pc, as well as disabled ACPI in the bios, but still no luck, sometimes i would get irql errors, u have any clue on how i can get the ram changing to work?
