| I'm not a newbie to PC building, having built my own ranging from a ZX80 & 81, via numerous AMD based PC's (k62, Duron, Athlon, X2 etc) to my present rig, my first foray into the world of Intel. System specs are: ASUS P5K Intel iP35 Socket 775 Mobo 2GB Patriot PC2-6400 Extreme Performance Memory (2x1GB in Dual Channel Mode) Akasa Zen Case OCZ 600w StealthXStream PSU Liteon DVD-R (IDE) Sapphire HD3850 256MB 320Gb Seagate Barracuda HDD (IDE) Core 2 Duo E6550 Hitachi Deckstar 80Gb HDD (Sata) Vista Home Premium 32bit Now I've had this since Feb and as yet have failed to get it to remain stable for more than 30 mins, normally it lasts about 5 mins then I see the delightful BSOD. I NEED HELP. I have had a plethora of error codes ranging from problems with NTFS.sys, disappearing boot manager, page fault in non page area, IRQ greater to (Or lesser than) etc. None of which is of any use as they all indicate different problems. The minidumps are just as uninformative also. As is windows which just advises contacting the technical advisor or company that built/maintains the PC, me then. The memory is hand set to 4-4-4-12 at 2.2v as recommended by Patriot, all the visual bells and whistles are off and I'm now starting to pull my hair out (Not funny when its 3ft long). I've run Memtest etc but the PC has a habit of crashing during sessions. Nothing is or has been overclocked (yet) as nothing is stable enough to allow this. I'm at my wits end and its only thanks to my trusty 754 rig that I can post this or do any work.

Welcome to the madhouse.
It looks to me similar to the problems I used to have. It was down to the memory. I had it replaced with the same type from the same supplier, no problems since. The supplier said that he was able to use it in another build with no problems.
Some batches just don't like Vi$ta.

Try the memory at 5-5-5-15. I take it you have checked all the cables, heat sinks/ graphics cards sat correctly, tried one memory stick at a time in each slot, scanned the disk for bad sectors etc...
And welcome to the forum.

my patriot ram needs 2.2v according to the datasheet. If you haven't upped the memory voltage it would explain the memory errors
Cheers, Keith.
