System specs:
Asus K8N-E Deluxe motherboard
athalon 64 3200 processor
3 gb pc3200 ram
gigabyte radeon hd 4650 agp
cooler master 380 w power supply
windows xp service pack 3
(Everything's ancient, I know.)
I recently upgraded my graphics card from a radeon x1650 to the hd 4650 and I replaced 2 256 mb kingston ram sticks with 2 1gb pny ram sticks.
I removed all of the ati drivers on my computer using the add/remove function in the control panel, uninstalled the current driver from the device manager, rebooted the computer in safe mode and ran "Driver Sweeper" to remove any remaining ATI drivers in the registry. Then I successfully applied ati's latest agp hotfix drivers to my card and everything seemed to be working alright.
I can play the AoE online beta, Napoleon Total War, and Civilization V without any problems. I can also stream Netflix Movies in HD, watch divx movies online with their web player, and I can watch downloaded movies through the VLC player with no problems....
However, whenever I try to play StarCraft 2 (SC2 launches and works fine up until a map is 99% loaded and then it crashes), watch a youtube video, or any flash video for that matter---- my computer crashes to a blue screen and I get this error:
stop: 0x0000008E, 0x0000005 (random 0's, numbers, and letters)
Dump physical memory
Memory Dump complete
Like I said earlier I've swept my computer of ati drivers and successfully installed the new ones (I've done this multiple times) so I'm not sure if this is a driver issue.
I've tried removing the new ram I put in since the error says it's a memory error but it doesn't work.
I think this may be related to a power supply issue but I'm not sure. The card recommends having a 400w power supply and I do only have a 380w supply. However, according to multiple power supply estimators I should only need 340w's to run my current set up. Also, normally when the computer shuts off do to a thermal issue, it usually just shuts itself off without prompting a blue screen.
I'm at a loss here as to what the problem may be. Any help would be much appreciated!
