Not sure if this is the place to post this but in searching around the site I couldnt really find a specific place to post error problems. Its a home built system so I'll try here. I've built several systems in the past with no problems like this.
Ok last Nov I built a new system just for photo storage and processing. Since then I have been plagued by error upon error. These range from IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL, PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA, THE DRIVER MISTAKENLY MARKED PAGABLE INSTEAD OF NONPAGABLE. etc etc . Sometimes there is no error type. All kinds of different .sys files listed so on and so forth...nothing seems constant.
I've done all the memtest86 tests for days on end with no errors found. I've tested my hard drives numerous times with no errors ever found. I've reloaded, replaced, upgraded, reinstalled every device driver I can think of. I've gone from XP Home to Vista 32 to Vista 64. I replaced the graphics card and even the memory just to do it, and the power supply (650 w).
I have a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P and have never found a bad word said about it when googleing, but could it be a bad chip set or controller causing all this randomness?
I'm really pulling my hair out on this one and ready to throw it it out a window, but I need this for my photography business.
Thanks in advance,
Stan A
