Ok, so here it goes..This is the 1st time i've actually bothered with a forum post but im DESPERATE. It's gonna be a bit long but please bare with me as any help would be much appreciated.
So..Couple MONTHS ago, i got a ''nvidia kernel has stopped working and recovered message'' leading to BSOD's and pc restarts (the was GeForce 8800GTS 512MB). After extensive research on forums and whatnot (trying new drivers etc even OS clean installation) i thought it must have been a gpu issue. So i bought a new card (ATI Radeon this time). Problem persisted only at that time i couldn't even log in windows or in the rare cases it would, after 30 min system would restart randomly.
I thought it was the HDD. I replaced it with a brand new WD Caviar Black 1TB. Didn't solve a thing. Couldn't log in windows.
I brought it to a ''technician'' who said that most possible cause was motherboard overheating and couldn't send power to the cpu (Even tho all temperatures were fine but w/e). So i bought new motherboard....
AT this moment the pc POSTS, i can log in the bios but if i try to boot from CD for a clean OS install (windows 7 btw) it will go up to the point ''Loading windows files'' , then the logo appears
and then i get BSOD which SLOWLY goes to black and then nothing.
PC SPECC
CPU; AMD PhenomII x4 960T 3Ghz
GPU; Asus Radeon R7260x 2GB DirectCU II OC (BRAND NEW)
Motherboard; Asus M5A97 R2.0 (BRAND NEW)
PSU; Corsair TX750M (750W) (4 MONTHS OLD)
RAM; Kingston KHX 1333C9D3B1 8GB (2x4GB,2 dimms)
HDD; Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black SATA III [WD1003FZEX] (BRAND NEW)
DVD; Samsung SH-224DB (SATA) Black (BRAND NEW)
OS; windows 7 ultimate
I have checked all cables inside the case.
I have reseated the cpu and applied new thermal paste. (although might need to do it again since my cpu is a bit too warm for minimum/idle load aka somewhat 45-50C)
I have updated BIOS to latest version.
I have run Memtest86 for almost 6 hours no errors found.(although both dimms were installed during the test)
I reseated the RAM sticks.
I switched to all possible combinations of RAM sticks to slots.
Nothing solved the issue. At this moment the HDD is empty and i cant get past the installation for windows, leading to a BSOD (that slowly goes to black like lol). Also, when i tried switching the slots for RAM dimms i noticed that when i plugged the power cord back to my psu, the power in my room would go out sometimes..My guess is its either a PSU issue or cpu has fried..I don't even know anymore.
Anyways..PLEASE help me this freaking thing has been tormenting me for over TWO MONTHS and i don't even know what it is...
