Hey guys, Ive just built a pc and I keep getting bsod's I was wondering if I could get any answers as to why its doing this and if it was my fault do to a mistake in putting it all together, so i still get warenty. I did follow the instructions very very carefully and read numerous guides before doing the build. Its at a pc shop now because I couldnt work out how to fix it but the shop is incredibly slow so I thought id ask here in the mean time.
So far to try and fix the issue ive ran 2 mem tests for 10 hours each which have retuned no errors. Formatted and re installed windows about 3 times, ive installed different versions of windows off different cd's just to see if it was my windows cd's. Ive opened it up and checked all connections and looked on the motherboard for any obvious damages. I also upped the voltages to the ram from 1.8 to 1.9v. All tempatures are fine aswell. I also updated the BIOS
Also in a rather curious twist when I installed my tv card and tried to load the app bundled with it to use it it returns the error 'fail to build, direct x required' but when i used the same cd and card in a different machine it works fine. Formatting and re-installing windows didnt work
I have an error code from the memory dump
Stop: 0x0000008e (0xc0000005, 0x805dd987, 0xb5eedbb8, 0x00000000)
also it says the problem or error was caused by wink32.sys
I also noticed that the processes that have caused the crash have been different once it was messenger the other time firefox etc
Sorry for not having the full details of the dump but its at the shop atm
here are the specs of my PC
cpu: Intel Core 2 Extreme qx9650 3.0ghz fsb 1333 12mb l2 cache
mobo: Asus Striker II Formula n780i SLI 3PCIe
Ram: 4gb Corsair twin2x4096-6400c5
HDD: 500gb seagate 32m ST3500320AS
GPU: ESS GF 8400Gs 256mb DDR2
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 850w
