BSOD

OK, the picture came out rubbish!
I'm sick of this BSOD, can't seem to find the problem.

Asus P5Ne SLi
E4300 1.8 @ 3.0
6GB DDR800 @ 800
GTX 260 896MB

I've reinstalled W7 on a different drive, ran memtest86, occt and prime stable.
Does the same at stock speed.
It happens about once a fortnight, randomly.
Any ideas how I might try to debug this?
I'll be trying my old GFX card next (8800 GTS 320MB).

its a bit too blurred to see what the code is, that will usually tell you roughly where your problem is - try writing the code down next time and see what google comes up with

indeed. I cant see the link - damn work filters - but googling for the stop error code (0x000000007a) etc will tend to give you some good pointers as to what it could be. Since youve ran memtet etc ignore any that say about ram though, as every single bsod can be attributed to ram :/

its not that i cant see the link, its that the image is too blurry for me to be able to clearly see what the error is

The error is 0x00000124. Hard drive error seems fairly likely but I see you've tried a second drive.

6GB of ram is odd for a 775 system, the motherboard might be struggling to run the mix of 1gb and 2gb sticks. More northbridge voltage / removing some sticks would be the next diagnostic step.

Good luck, this is a tricky one.

I'll try removing 2GB and see what happens. It would almost be better if it failed more often!
