I was having the same problem with my recent PC build - Asus K8V Deluxe - AMD 64
3200+, Audigy ZS Platinum, Asylum 5700 Ultra, 1G of DDR PC3200. It seemed to go from
bad to worse this weekend giving me a BSOD every time I opened my account. Curiously
I logged into my girlfriends account and she wasn't getting the BSODs. After much
fannying about with fan positions, memory tests etc. I ended up deleting and recreating
my account, going to AMD and downloading the 64 Updates for XP, also the Utilities
from the CD with my Motherboard (Heat, Fan monitor) and all seems to be OK now. It
boots fine and runs Call of Duty like a dream. I spent hours chasing the heat and
memory issues but it appears that by simply ensuring every component was up to date
via the manufacturer fixed my problem. By the way, that Motherboard Utility (Asusprobe)
is very nice. It put my mind to rest as to how hot I should be running. I'm sure
the build is an ongoing process (BIOS settings, SATA RAID etc.) but I'm glad the
BSODs are sorted. for the time being anyway !
Hope this helps somebody.
