Howdy All,
For a long time now I've been plagued with problems whist using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit. I've tried everything I can think of, replaced many components inside my computer, but the problem still exists. The only thing I can think to do now is burn my computer and buy a prebuilt Dell with a warranty.
My rig is as follows:
Mobo: Asus P5QL Pro
CPU: Q8400
RAM: OCZ DDR2 Gold 1033Mhz
Graphics: ATI HD5770 1gb
PSU: 550w thermaltake
HDD: Samsung F1 Sata
Sound: Creative X-FI
Every couple of days I get an error ID 18,
machine check exception
Reported by: Processor core
Error type: bus/interconnect error
ProcessorID: 1
I've noticed when these errors occur I get 3 all at the same time usually with different ProcessorID numbers, but sometimes the same. I also get black screens regularly, although one time just yesterday I got a pale blue screen (not the blue screen of death). My computer seems to carry on running, but the display goes black and I can't do anything except reset.
Everything in my computer is running at stock - no overclocking
I've tried the following:
Underclocked my GPU
Relaxed my RAM timings (from the ones it recommends running at)
Changed my PSU from 550W to 750W
Removed my sound card
Disabled all my sound cards
Updated my graphics drivers with 3 different versions
Disabled AHCI and tried IDE
Disabled ACPI
I have no Virus scanners running.
I've tried memtest 0 errors in 6 hours including tests 5 and 6.
I've ran prime95 on all tests for many hours, which also concluded nothing.
My motherboard, Hard drive and CPU are less than 2 months old, as I replaced them due to the frustration of "Display driver stopped responding errors"
Does anyone have any ideas what I should do??
Thanks in advance
