    Hello,

    My PC running winXP 32 has been consistently crashing for some time now. And it seems like minidumps keep referencing something different every time. Here are some highlights from attached dumps.

    Probably caused by : hardware ( ati2cqag+413f6 )
    Probably caused by : vsdatant.sys ( vsdatant+230c0 )
    Probably caused by : memory_corruption
    Probably caused by : mrxsmb.sys ( mrxsmb+5409c )
    Probably caused by : win32k.sys ( win32k!GreBatchTextOut+270 )

    What have i've done so far:
    -ran memtest for a day with no errors
    -swapped RAM, i have two sticks so got BSOD on both of them in different slots
    -swapped hdd
    -swapped video card (initially majority of the dumps kept referring to ati)
    -and yesterday my power supply died with a loud bang and wouldn't come back up. Was kinda glad that it happened thinking that i finally found the culprit. Replaced the PSU ran a stress test and it BSODed again :cry :cry :cry

    Would greatly appreciate if someone can help me out here.

    Hi

    Weird errors and with various apps, on face of it seems driver, but not conclusive! I would boot into Safe Mode with Networking (as this gives you internet access) so you can test for app issues.

    I would initally suspect either temp or ram as the culprit so test your temps out with this HERE and post the results after say 30min-1hr of usage and then so a ram test with this app HERE, but test one ram module at a time.
