Hello everyone, I've been having an ongoing issue on startup for almost a year now, although in recent weeks its gotten worse.
When I boot my PC BIOS loads fines, I select Windows 7 to boot, then the black windows loading screen appears. Sometimes the animation doesn't show, the screen stays black and then the PC resets. Other times a BSOD appears. If I'm lucky the animation shows and it continues to the login screen.
I thought this may be down to my GPU which I've just upgraded but the problem still persists.
I'm considering buying a 100-250GB SSHD to put a fresh install on Windows 7 on to ensure it's not just because of a corrupt install on Windows.
Heres my spec:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64
CPU: i5 2500k 3.3GHz to 4.5GHz.
CPU Cooler: Artic Cooler Freezer 13.
MOBO: Asus P8Z68-V LX, Intel Z68 Chipset.
RAM: 8Gb (2x4Gb) Corsair Vengeance LP, DDR3, 1600MHZ.
GFX: XFX ATI Radeon HD 4890 1024MB GDDR5.
HDD: 2TB Samsung Sata II.
PSU: TAGAN 530w TG530-U15.
Case: Jeantech "Phong II".
Networking: SunVision £15 300MBs Wireless Card.
DVDRW: Lite-ON LH-20A1S-11C
Speakers: 5.1 Logitech Surround Sound.
This is the BSOD error code:
MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION
*** STOP: 0X0000009C (0X0000000000000005, 0XFFFFF80000BA8A0, 0X00000000BE200000, X000000000005110A)
