Can I know what sort of applications that you are running before BSOD strikes? You seem to have a very similar system as mine.

I don't think it's the MOBO problem ler. I pretty much advise you to install XP SP2 with all the updated patches and fixes. Pirated version can't be updated.

Well, I used a pirated disc with original CD Key tongue.gif Considered genuine also as I am able to update through microsoft website.

Bro, you should Install the OS with XP SP2 CD instead of from XP SP1 then upgrade to service pack2. It's much better that way.

Yeap.

The 2nd time after reformat was Windows XP Professional with SP2(I dont think its the latest SP2 pack if there is any).

Do you think it could be a BAD windows XP CD? but i've been using it for so long =.=

OK! Just try to install your OS with Windows SP2 CD (Original to allow updates) After that, update your OS via auto updates. I remember mine took about 40minutes just to retrieve all those updates even with XP SP2 installed. This shows that there are lots of patches and updates released after the XP SP2 CD.

Note: I dont think old CD will affect stability. If the drive can't read it, it just can't. If it can read it means it's fine.

Relax bro, I believe everything is OK in terms of hardware. Manufacturing processes are top notch these days. It is most likely due to software conflicts or something. Btw, where are you staying?

Bro, now I managed to recall. The first time when I assemble my system, I has BSOD. After I increase the RAM voltage to 2.10V everythinig is working fine @ 4-4-4-12 (Specification given by Corsair). If you encounter BSOD again, you can try this method.
