Well, newsflash: it just freezed in Windows, suprisingly with a similar behavior as with the old Samsung drive. After the resest, the SATA hard drive (the Crucial SSD) was not even listed in the BIOS (but the SATA DVD drive was).
I think it is the motherboard :(
Thanks for the tip. I disabled the integrated audio chip in BIOS, removed the Realtek drivers.
I even used Catalyst Uninstall utility, and reinstalled Catalyst drivers without the sound controller.
The game still crashes (though, interestingly, last two crashes only crashed to Windows, they did...
Yes, I use surge protection.
As for the PSU, weird thing is that if I run stress tests on both CPU and GPU simultaneously (i.e. arguably creating the majority of the power consumption), it can run just fine for hours and hours.
In the games, it can crash anytime between virtually seconds...
You misunderstood. The Samsung HDD was producing this kind of behavior ("disconnecting" from SATA controller), the new SSD is not.
The old HDD is now out of the PC, only the SSD is connected.
But the crashes are still happening, WhoCrashed reports either WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (caused by...

RAM: A-Data Vitesta EE kit 2x 2GB (running with default SPD timing)
Original HDD Samsung SpinPoint F3 3.5" 1TB HD103SJ
New SSD: Crucial M500 120 GB
So, the HDD was probably defective - it hang up a windows chckdsk in a different system (had to reset the computer, not responding but no BSOD).
So I used Spinrite to test this HDD - at around 51% capacity, it completely disappeared (like the hdd was unplugged).
So I bought a new HDD to...
Whocrashed reported (for crashes both with Asus and now with Sapphire) either ntoskrnl.exe (WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR), or problems with atikmpag.sys.
Now for the recent update:
The HDD I have is divided to two partitions: 80GB for system, rest for the data.
I have run Windows chkdsk first for...
Please help detecting HW(?) issue.
CPU: intel core 2 duo 8400
former GPU: Asus ATI HD4850
new GPU: Sapphire HD7770
MB: MSI P35 Neo2
System is not overclocked, and never was.
A short history of the problem:
about a month ago, I experienced a BSOD playing Borderlands 2.
After restart I tried...
