I keep getting blue screens of death on my rig.

It's been working fine for the past couple of years, I haven't made any hardware/software changes. Theres barely anything on it as I just use it for recording mixes.

The last one I saw said something like "PAGE_FILE_DUMP_FAULT"...

It's an XP2500+, NF7-S 2.0 mobo, and 2x256MB of Corsair PC3200 RAM.

Help appreciated!
 
Nope not overclocked mate, haven't cleaned it for a good few weeks but there is no build up of dust or anything in there.
 
If you haven't changed anything then the chances are something is dieing. Might be worth doing a quick visual inspection to check for broken or unusually slow fans, and bad caps.

Then try running memtest. Then try running sp2004 and speedfan or something and have a look at temps, see if they look ok. Then try rthdribl and have a look at gpu temps. Probably also a good idea to run a harddisk test utility.

Id point towards the ram or the mobo, can you make it bsod or is it totally random?

Totally random mate.
 
My moneys on ram or harddisk.
Start with memtest, if you need any help getting or running any of those things i mentioned just ask.

Whats the psu? If its generic thats a very likely cause.
