I have been having issues for the past while with my system and I have run out of ideas. I get the BSOD or the system freezes for nearly anything that is even a light load. The system is approaching 7 years old now but still runs games great, if it weren't for the BSOD or freezing of course. The problem is persistant over Windows 7, Windows XP, and Ubuntu.

Specs:
Asus M2N-E Motherboard with a 2.8 GHz Dual core CPU
Nvidia GForce 8800 GT GPU
2 - 2 GB DDR2 RAM
3 - 500 GB HDDs and 1 - 1 TB HDD

This is what I have done:
MemTest86+ run for 3 hours, 0 errors
2 GPU stress tests for several hours each, Valley Bench Mark and FurMark run just fine
Prime95 as a CPU stress test for 5 hours, no crashes
Reapplied Thermal paste
Reinstalled XP
Reinstalled 7
Run Ubuntu, even tried running it off the USB stick with no HDD's hooked up, still froze
Run with only 1 stick of RAM
Updated Drivers

What triggers a system freeze or BSOD:
Seems Random
Browsing the internet
Streaming a video
Playing Games - I could play Diablo 3 for 30 minutes or it crashes 5 seconds into loading the game.

Errors on BSOD
page fault in non-paged area
mrxsmb.sys
execute non-executable memory

Any thoughts?

Hello... If you have a fresh Windows reload then I would say it's time to subsutute Hardware to find the problem... Can you Dig up/borrow/Buy another Video card to Test? It's possiable your Video card fan is bad or The GPU was damaged due to ?

Hello... All my experience with BSOD is due to a Hardware communication, interrupting between the MB and Windows.
1) Make sure you have no un-happy hardware drivers in your "Device Manager"... No Yellow or Red icon indicators
2) Clean all card/stick edges with rubbing alcohol... And Re-insert cards.
3) Inspect and clean all DATA and Power connections... to your Hardware and MB.
4) Verify all devices CPU/GPU/MB temperatures are with in Normal operating temperatures.
5) Verify your Power Supply 12Vdc has enough current , To operate your Video Card and CPU, at the Performance setting you are using.

Thank you for answering.
-In the device manager there is nothing with a warning, no yellow or red.
-I just cleaned the contacts with rubbing alcohol and reseat them.
-All Data and power cables are nice and clean with good connections to what they power
-CPU/MB/GPU temps are good
--CPU ranging from low 50s (idle) to 67ish (under load)
--GPU temp ranges from 70 (idle) to 90 (under load) to 100 when under prolonged stress testing
--MB stays pretty consistant at around 48
-Voltage appears to be good and where it needs to be

All of these are from CPUID HWMonitor.

System still Crashes after these checks, cleanings and reseating.

Hi Ironsounds,

I will be looking into this when I get home from work today.

However why would it crash even under a light load (browsing the internet) but be find under a heavy load for a significant amount of time (via FurMark)?

That would explain why it seems random. Well, I am going to be tearing it apart for a good cleaning after work, I will leave an update once I test her out. Cheers, and thanks!

I took it apart, cleaned any (little) dust and old thermal paste and put new Arctic Silver 5 on it. The Temp is a few degrees lower, however the system still crashes.

Is there anything else I could try?
