It's definitely an overheating problem. I was getting multiple BSOD's per day. Page
Faults, IRQS_NOT_EQUAL, win32k.sys, STOP! 0x0000000A... I had upgraded to a new CPU
but kept the old fan and didn't apply new CPU grease - and I bet the lack of grease,
combined with the heat of a new second drive made overheating probs for the CPU.
The BSOD's showed memory areas that a test with SANDRA Diagnostic Freeware confirmed
were the same ones the CPU. They range from 00000000-0000FFFF through 000A rnage
upawrd to 00FFFFF.
I went out and bought two fans. One a copper based one spec'd out for my AMD Athlon
XP CPU (http://64.26.27.31/products/techietoyz/cpuvgacooling.asp), and another that
sits over a PCI slot, which I put next to my nVidia FX5700 256 card.
I stopped getting the BSOD's and after checking the much lower temp in my BIOS under
PC Health, I overclocked my CPU and it's all running faster and fine.
Maybe the RAM could be overheating, but it's all about overheating as far as I was
concerned. Oh, I applied the XPSP2 and all has been fine.
