I built a system 6 months ago and I have a strange problem I couldn't fix yet.
Every month or so (20 to 40 days), I get a bsod and after that OS becomes completely ruined with constant reboots and more BSODs. When this happens, if I rollback to a previous system restore point or reinstall OS, problem stops for another month. By the way, BSODs and reboots are not software related and they come up completely random (surfing, playing game, watching video, or even on idle).
I had this problem with 2 different OS (xp 32bit, vista 64bit), so i'm suspecting that this is a hardware problem. And in one of those BSOD times, my memories died and Rma'ed. Also, a couple of weeks ago I told the local store that i'm suspecting that memories are causing the problem, they accepted to change with a different brand (patriot viper, I didn't replace it yet though).
Here's my questions:
1-Rolling back to a previous system restore point solves the problem temporarily. How can this happen if it's really a hardware problem?
2-Which part of the system can cause this kind of problem?
3-Should I change my memory modules?
system:
Core2Duo E8500 @3.16
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R
Crucial Ballistix Tracer Led 800mhz cas4 d9 micron 2.0v
Seagate 640gb HDD
Sapphire HD4850 Toxic
Xilence 600W Redwing
I have some dump files and some screens of the error messages if needed.
And one more note: Rams running on 2.1v at 4-4-4-12 and I think the store I bought the system set it so. Everthing else is on auto and no overclocks.
