My Pc is blue screening like hell, twice a day even 3 times. I have checked the mem with memtest86, nothing, used microsoft memory diagnostic tool nothing, scanned for spyware with the latest engine, nothing, executed antvirus, nothing also! what should i do?

most of the time the errors are always the same

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000008e (0xc0000005, 0x00010005, 0xaede7c68, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: D:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP.


Lately I have installed a Sata 2 port raid controller, and it seems that the blue screens started from there, but now i have removed the software and the card itself and it is still blue screening. Most of the hang up seems when i am using the dvd rom drive, sort off.

Prob solved, re installed everything from scratch and no blue screens till now, its been operation about a day and a half, playing dvd's cds, games eveything. I will take this as a lesson and will schedule a re-installation for surely every 6 months at max. I think that the psu may be reaching its limit, I will try to add another 2*200 Gigs disks and see how i goes but while monitoring the PSU current by the mainsoft, it looks stable. Also the Pressy is currently over - clocked at 3.4 ghz which will surely stress a bit more the PSU. It seems that the prob started from the RAID controller installed. Currently its running without the RAID controller and its fine. I will check for any driver updates on there website. Thanks Mnewxcv at least it wasn't a hardware prob as I thought of.

When you get the change I'd upgrade the PSU. Never heard of Xclio.

It basically made by the same company that make the Antec 480 Watt Model Channel Well Technologies cause they share the same architecture . Quite a good stable PSU's here is their website.
