UPDATED:
NEW SPECS

Intel C2D E6550 2.33Ghz
Corsair XMS2 PC6400 800mhz 1GB X 2 (matching pair)
Gigabyte P35 DS3

Asus 8800GT 512MB DDR3 <== sadly....no stock TOP version. And I didnt want to wait that day(15.12.2007)
Western Digital 160GB SATA of course
Silverstone Strider 560watts
Cooler Master Centurion 5.

Experience?

Asus P5K must be a bad batch. Seriously. I used back my usual Windows XP SP2 (slip stream right? they call it) NO ISSUEs

1 TINY MINOR problem. SOUND driver issue. Got some procedure in order to make your onboard sound to work but I only took 1 hour to find out so =)

Thanks for my friends.. Marcus and Kayne....they helped me to check my pc and bring it back to C-Zone

C-Zone:
Friendly and customer service boleh tahan. Sadly, Scott wasn't there. Price? Tak boleh nego that much but still good price compared to other places.

Technicians
There was another technician, not so friendly( I forgot his name...not worth remembering). macam tak really layan you. "I think its your windows problem", that is all he said. I had to ask what he did only he answered.

Chris. Nice guy, patient, told me what he has done like testing of the RAM, graphic card, Harddisk, windows XP version and all.,...He also answered all my calls and will try his best to accommodate my request like trying to update latest bios. I knew it was beta as I checked the Asus website. So when I asked him whether he updated the bios...he said it was BETA, so he rather not risk it. See..at least he was honest. I knew about the BETA bios. THUMBS UP.

er..Sales Rep? Manager? I dont know his position but you definitely have seen him around. Ah Meng <== Nice guy. Showed him the receipt, told him the issue, and he said can. no problem.

Apart from the BAD BAD BAD batch Asus P5K. C-Zone is still a good place.


That is me.


Lastly,

Thanks Kayne =D and Marcus hehe.....

Anyone? >.< sifu?

Why dont you lend RAM stick from your friend and try it first.If you dont have any,you can try change RAM position in motherboard(DIMM 0 to DIMM 1 or etc).

could be your ram problem. have you cleared the cmos and re-set it again?
go to asus site and download the latest bios; express bios update; which can be execute in windows environment. this are more practical for most user.
most probably you need to install your windows from scratch again.

try to run some memtest for ur ram...try take 1 stick of ur ram test each slot of ur mobo...do it both to see which is the cause...u can also borrow ur frens ram and plug into ur mobo and test and give ur ram for ur fren rig to test too

This first minidump file is referring "RtkHDAud.sys" crashed which is sound chip (or card) related file.

The second minidump file is referring "nv4_disp.dll" crashed which is the NVidia display card file problem.

Try to update the sound chip and display card driver see whether it solve the problem.

OR should you send it back to the vendor who sold you the machine since it still under warranty.

Thank you so much dude for analyzing those mini dumps

Appreciate it.

however..I am using latest NVIDIA's driver for 8800GT (Windows XP)

As for audio, I installed the one given from the CD. BUT when i try to update from the main website

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downlo...0Audio%20Codecs

but Previously was R1.82, it failed when it was about to complete.

I forgot to the error message. Something failed or something.


I think its the motherboard that is faulty?

my old asus motherboard oso got this when installed hardwares.. =.=

i always fix it by reset the bios settings... try it 1st

Bro, you only encounter BSOD when u are gaming is it? I am a P5K user too. Had crashes with Gears Of Wars and sometimes system freezes when the setup was new. Later when it ran in/settle down, its rock solid You are using XP with Service Pack 1 right? You should always patch your OS with the latest patches.

I don't think it's hardware problem is you really are indeed using SP1 Your system is bound to suffer if you are running unpatched OS. The patches released by Microsoft was meant to fix errors and patch up some loopholes that they discovered as time progress. Try updating your XP to SP2 with the latest patches&fixes.

Yo bro

with SP 1

its FREAKING STABLE. but if I letak SP2...all hell breaks loose. BSOD comes.

but with SP1 right....so far with SP1, kena twice... during war craft dota gaming.

but its alot more stable than SP2.

Reset CMOS? I've done that.

My pc is now at C-Zone service Center...I'm so tired of worrying. I can't sleep well these WHOLE WEEK because of this.

I feel like changing to GigaByte motherboard....am i allowed to change?

Strange.... Ok! Did you tried to flash your P5K MOBO BIOS to the latest?

I didnt dare to do that because..later the C-Zone guy said that I screwed it up.....even worse for me.

So I will call him to check later

Can I ask 1 more question? The XP SP2 you install is pirated or original?

Pirated.
but I've used that CD to install so many times..
my own pc of course...friend's PC...laptop...all no issues.


but why now? I dont think file is corrupted. IF its corrupted...i wouldn't be able to installed it in the 1st place right?

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

Wa, P5K also got blue screen of death...

I'm worried that many Asus motherboard got this problem nowdays...

Nothing much

War craft 3
Zion 3<== for war craft
Winamp
Firefox
Xun Lei <== for torrent


Thatz about it.


I just called up C-Zone. They said no problem with hardware wor...stress test CPU and RAM. they installed THEIR Window XP with SP2.
He tested my HDD on another pc. no issue.

He said so far so good. Tomorrow is the last day of the 1 on 1 exchange ler bro...how?

Please advice.

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.

Are you using original bro?

actually I did installed Original Windows XP Pro.

then I updated windows patches

then finally Updated with SP2

All from Microsoft website.


That was all i did when I got my PC back from lowyat and tat was when all the blue screen started coming.d
I ran auto update of course.

Well, I used a pirated disc with original CD Key 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.

Yup, it's better install Windows XP SP2 instead SP1, might help...

What about your system temperature...?

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 =.=

Which mean your Windows XP cd old...? Year?

Yea..afew years old?

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.

LOL i have to try when i get my PC back from C-Zone.


this is damn sad lah....buy new pc and this is what I get. I pray to God that it is not hardware issue.

TOMORROW is the LAST day for 1 on 1 exchange.

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?

Srry was out for lunch

i'm at Puchong

Oh and thanks Thrust.

haha i feel kinda better now. I'll try to see if I can update windows when i get my PC back.

my friend said we can still update Windows XP Sp2 even though its pirated

Yes you should since ppl at C-Zone already stress tested your hardware.

Added on December 21, 2007, 6:17 pmBro, do update us on your progress ok?

UPDATE.


PROBLEM SOLVED.


Methods: CHANGE MOTHERBOARD AND RAM.


Motherboard: GIGABYTE P35 DS3
RAM : Corsair XMS2 PC6400 800mhz (Matching Pair)


Oh btw I can't use my usual firewall BlackIce or Network Ice. =) Its seems to be causing bluescreen of death
LOL yea..i kena when i was installing it.


thanks to all who adviced me previously! everything was extra knowledge for me

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.

Its okay man

I rather not touch it yet..so far so good

I can do my usual stuff peacefully... I didnt workout for 1 WEEK...ONE WHOLE WEEK..oh wait I did workout on Monday.

5 days of rest =D but i think my muscle appreciates the rest haha...rest = muscle growth. oh yea =D i'm a health and fitness guy

Check out my journal yo~!~!


thrust =D thanks buddy. appreciate all the tips
