Hello everyone,
This is my first post here and im hopeful someone might be able to give me some direction as to what to do as I never encountered a problem like this before.
First the tech specs:
Intel extreme quad core 3.0 ghz
4 gigs corsair ram
SLI'd 8800 GTX PNY overclocked
780i nvidia mobo
1000w power supply
A+ el diablo case
creative audigy sound card
1 terrabyte harddrive
1 dvd multirecorder litescribe drive (sata)
1 dvd drive (IDE) - pulled from an older machine.
Windows xp 64bit fully patched
Problem:
When I first built this computer I wanted to have 64bit vista on this machine. I kept blue screening after it would copy and install the files. It would reboot after doing the inital install then launch vista and I would get a blue screen. After 4 failed attempts I gave up and Put xp 64bit on it. (I got free OS's through a college program)
So after putting in XP it went smoothly. Now I tried to install a few games. Medieval total war 2 and its xpack installed fine. However if I put in Call of Duty 4 it instantly crashes when the cd goes into the drive. Last night I had a friend over and I tried putting in some music cd's and a blank disc to burn something on it. All of which crashed with the same blue screen.
I was told to do a memory test to see if it was the ram (I Didn't think it was but it was advice so I tried it anyway) and it came out fine. I was also told to download a tweakui and disable auto play. I did that and I still get the blue screen.
Here is a picture of the bluescreen that I took today.
Please help!
