I have searched all over the net for anyone with a similar problem to me. I have not found anything that can help.
I have a desktop that i built myself. It is pretty old but was working fine a week ago.
ECS nForce4-A939 with Bios 1.1g (Updated Bios)
AMD Athlon X2 4400+
2gb Crucial Ram DDR PC3200
XFX GeForce 9600 GSO
SB X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatality
1.5tb HDD that is relatively young
A pci USB insert card
I recently started getting a lot of BSOD with 0xf4 being the most recent.
After all of these problems, i said screw it, im going to reformat and reinstall Win7 Build 7600
I reinstalled and thought everything was going fine, until day 2 of a fresh install with just Sound drivers, and Video drivers installed.
Here are my problems:
Sometimes the computer will freeze during POST or while booting.
The computer will freeze between about 1-30 minutes after logging in to win7.
Even when I put the Win7 disk in and attempt to reformat and reinstall, it will just freeze randomly. Mouse wont move, the HDD light is either on solid or not on.
I have ran memtest86+ and no errors to report.
I have tried booting in without the sound card or usb card in and it still freezes randomly.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled and downgraded and upgraded video card drivers. Still freezes. I have done the same thing with the sound card.
My temps are fine. I did have my CPU overclocked and it was stable for over a year prior to these problems. Although i did put the clocks back where they should be and i am still getting random freezes anywhere between when its posting and when im browsing in firefox.
I did have my GPU slightly over clocked stable for over a year prior to these problems. it was overclocked with software, i have not set them back to where they should be, but i didnt think i had to because it was a fresh reformat.
I also have taken out my 500W PSU and put in a 600W
I am stuck and need this computer running stable by Wednesday afternoon. I have tried everything i can think of. I am currently acquiring a newer build of Win7 and will be trying that.
Thanks for any help.
