Recently I have upgraded my PC with 3 different pieces of hardware:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-258-AS
This graphics card.

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-135-CR
This Ram.

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BG-093-XF
This PSU.

After putting all of this inside my computer my computer has been acting up after 2 weeks of upgrading, my computer randomly restarts, I've had blue screen, I reset windows but the computer restarting happened once today.

Also, my motherboard is overheating between 50-60 oC, do you have any advice on how I could monitor my motherboard from overheating.

These are results from speccy:

Operating System
MS Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3
CPU
Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 @ 2.80GHz 38 °C
Wolfdale 45nm Technology
RAM
4.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 400MHz (5-5-5-18)
Motherboard
MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL CO.,LTD MS-7528 (CPU 1) 55 °C
Graphics
W1942 (1440x900@60Hz)
1024MB ASUS EAH6670 Series (ASUStek Computer Inc) 31 °C
Hard Drives
156GB Seagate ST3160318AS (SATA) 29 °C
Optical Drives
Optiarc DVD RW AD-5200A
Audio
AMD High Definition Audio Device

The errors I have been receiving are these: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
page_fault_in_nonpaged_area


And for technical Information:
0x000000F4
0x000000003
0x8A0EC258
0x8A0EC3CC
0x806057D6

New technical information:
STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x604E1343, 0xF69C82D8, 0x00000000)
STOP: 0x0000007F (0x0000000D, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

I did run Memtest and it told me there was no errors so I rebooted, and started my usual gaming routine and I still got a crash which makes a constant noise for about 3 seconds and then goes into blue screen, I wrote down my errors and here I am.

Any more help will be appreciated.

hmmm, i got the same bsod's when the memory controller on my cpu died. If you can, get a different set of ram and see if you still get problems. On the other hand there might be something wrong with voltages on your psu cables, if the mobo doesnt get enough voltage through it then you might get problems. These are just suggestions though, good luck;)
 
the hardware is

as suggested by several members of the forum.

the computer was working fine on the first week then started to act up, i decided to reinstall windows XP onto the system which did not fix the issue at all.

any ideas on how to fix this? other than spending MORE money on hardware which seems to have caused this in the first place....
 
Try one/two clicks more CPU northbridge voltage,also try downclocking gpu memory and retest with gaming,try 100mhz lower,could be gpu memory overheating
 
ok thanks i will try upping the northbridge voltage i can do that in BIOS right?
the bluescreens can happen at any time, mostly when first turning the machine on.

as for the graphics card farlow we have onboard graphics aswell do you believe it could be some sort of confliction? or perhaps a voltage issue from which wazza and matty are suggesting.

thanks for the feedback
 
im currently trying to change the voltage in the bios but it wont let me because its grayed out nor can we boot into windows because it bluescreens, and sometimes when turning the machine on we dont get any visuals on the monitor
 
so now ive taken out the new graphics card and put the old ram back into the machine, and tried to reinstall windows however i have not managed to reinstalled windows and every single time i try to configure the windows set up it will blue screen... it seems the new hardware has destroyed the machine...

Check that you installed everything correctly, check temperatures of the CPU since once it starts get busy with installation of new windows it gets heated and shuts down.. Too many things that could`ve gone wrong

Try bootable memtest on each stick individually. When i got my new Rig i had this BSOD at every boot (30 seconds in or so), i ran memetest on all 4 sticks at the same time, no errors, even after a full 100% sweep. Problem persisted and i tried each stick individually, they all passed except for one, that failed instantly.
 
well they went ahead and ordered an entire new system... i am still pretty adamant on fixing this machine, when i have access to the machine i will try memtesting each stick individually

but the thing is i even put the old ram in the machine and it would still bluescreen
 
Fair enough, although with it still BSODing with the old RAM, i suppose it must be something else. Back to square one ha ha. Id think motherboard, because its hardly even the CPU.
