Hi guys,
This one has had me scratching for a while. I have a P4 running Win2K Pro with 4 drives connected to two extra IDE controllers. Occasionally something would crash W2K and I would get BSOD and a self reboot. Lately I have been able to replicate it while playing some Xvid video files but once before this happened right after installing an Adaptec DuoConnect AUA-3020. The reboots would not have been so annoying if it wasn't corrupting the filestructures of my NTFS volumes every couple of times. At first I thought it was my power so I upgraded my PSU. Then I thought maybe heat so I rearranged all my HDDs and increased the fan speed. Then I thought it could be PCI slots or IRQ sharing conflicts so I made changes to that. What I haven't replaced yet are my mobo/CPU/RAM/IDE controllers Does someone have a similar setup to mine that could give me some hints on what I'm doing wrong?
Software:
Windows 2000 Pro SP4
Intel Application Accelerator Installed
Core Hardware:
P4B266 - 1.6A @ 1.6Ghz
2 x 512K Micron PC2100
Turbo Cool 510W ATX PSU
Onboard Devices:
IDE 1 - IRQ 14
Maxtor 20GB (Boot - 20GB FAT32)
IDE 2 - IRQ 15
Sony DRU500A
Parallel ECP port active (no devices)
Serial COM 1 & 2 Active (no devices)
Onboard USB 1 (mouse and camera)
Onboard USB 2 (UPS)
AGP - Xtasy 256 Radeon 9600
PCI 2 - Promise Ultra TX2 100 (W2K: IRQ 21)
WD1600JB (160GB - NTFS)
WD800JB (80GB - NTFS)
PCI 4 - Maxtor Ultra TX2 133 (W2K: IRQ 22)
Maxtor DX540-4G (160GB - NTFS)
Maxtor DiamondMax 9 (160GB - NTFS)
PCI 5 - Adaptec DUO Connect AU-3020
PCI 6 - DLink DTX-538
After recovering my volumes once again I plan to run Memtest86 on my RAM. The HDDs have been reverified at least 5x each with full scans using their diagnostic software already. Running out of ideas.
Thanks in advance.
