My last hope is some of you bright guys might be able to read what is happening here with my machine.
Current installation is less than a month old but BSODs were starting to happen often on old W7 so I have to assume problem is probably hardware related.
BSODs or program crashes now happening several times a day. Program crashes don't seem to be related to particular apps.
There are no particular symptoms except for a couple of faint isolated beeps from the case within a few minutes of boot. These are not posting-type beeps
but very quiet and vary in length.
This is what I have done so far to try to isolate what hardware might be at fault but with no luck:
1. Replaced main drive with SSD. Other 3 drives have all passed Seatools long tests - several times in fact!
2. Replaced GPU with new
3. Replaced PSU with new
4. Re-seated CPU
5. Updated to latest BIOS
6. Tested RAM to 12 hours on memtest86 with 0 errors.
7. Swapped out cables and reconnected all companents from bare motherboard up.
8. This is third installation of Windows 8 with no improvement
It's hard to know what else to try. I can't think it can be the CPU - Everest reports it's running cool (low 20's idle) and true (good voltage figures)
and I am reluctant to replace this or the motherboard until I can see they are the culprits.
Here's my full system:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 3400MHz
M/Board: MSI 790FX-GD70 BIOS v1.17
GPU: GeForce GT 640
RAM: 4GB Corsair XMS3
PSU: OCZ ZT-650W
Drives: SanDisk 128GB SSD, Samsung 1.5TB, Samsung 2TB, Seagate 3GB.
I've attached the results from the Diagnostic Tool. Just hope some of you guys can come up with some further suggestions for me to try.
