I built this rig maybe about 8-9 months ago and have never had any problems with it until now. Every once in a while, ill get random blue screens either while playing a game or just browsing the web.
The blue screen says..
"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press f8 to select advanced startup options, and the select safe mode.
Technical information:
*** STOP:0x0000000A (0x00040000, 0x0000001c, 0x00000001, 0x80502000)
Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance."
My specs are as follows.
AMD athlon x2 5000+ @ 2.81GHz
Asus m2n-sli deluxe (using bios version 0903)
Corsair xms2 drr2-800 4x512mb (4-4-4-12/2t)
eVGA geforce 7950gt
Antec truepower 550w
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty
I've run memtest v1.65 for 21 hours and no errors were detected and it had 37 passes. I'm not really sure what is causing these blues screens and I've looked things up and cant seem to find anything on it. Would loosening my ram timings to 5-5-5-14/2t help at all? or is there any other ways to fix this problem? Thanks in advance for your help!
