| Okay, this is what I have on my custom build . . .
System type - 32-bit Operating System (Vista Business - Service Pack 1)
Motherboard - ASUS M2N-SLI
Processor - AMD Phenom(tm) 9500 Quad-Core Processor 2.21 GHz
Video Card - NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT
Hard drive - Maxtor 6 L300So SCSI (300 GB)
RAM - 8.00 GB (DDR2)
Monitor - SyncMaster 940BW (Samsung)
I don't have a screen shot of the BSoD, but I did write it down word-for-word
---------------------------
A problem has been detected and windows has been shutdown to prevent damage to your computer
A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval.
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
If problem continues, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup options, and then select Safe Mode.
Technical Information:
*** STOP: 0x00000101 (0x00000031, 0x00000000, 0x8B114120, 0x00000002)
Collecting data for crash dump...
Initializing disk for crash dump...
Beginning dump of physical memory.
Dumping physical memory: 100
Physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance.
-------------------------------------
I have updated the BIOS . . . I have updated my video card drivers . . .
The only times I have received this message is while playing a game. The two games that have caused this for me is "Age of Conan" and "World of Warcraft". The error message usually occurs while I am in combat with others (alot of action going on) and not when I just running around from place to place.
I have played "Lineage 2" and "Counter Stike: Condition Zero" with no errors at all.
If you need more information about my computer let me know. |

| Because you are getting the Blue Screens and not a sudden system lock-up I can say that it is not the TLB errata that is causing this. I take it you built this rig yourself. When was it built, how often do these errors occur, when did it start? I see you have the 8 GB of RAM and would like to know if it is one 8 GB stick, two 4 GB sticks, or four 2 GB sticks. If it is either the two 4 GB sticks or the four 2 GB sticks I would try taking out 4 GB and see if that helps because Windows Vista 32 bit can only utilize up to 4 GB of RAM due to an address space limit and that could be causing your BSoDs. Also get the temperature of the computer if you can and the processor temperature. I don't know what is bad but I try to keep my temperatures below 113 degrees Fahrenheit.

| my CPU temp was on or around 55 degrees Celsius while my MB was at or around 45 degrees Celsius during all BSoD. I have since taken my side off and have a standard household fan blowing into my tower just to rule out the possibility of the video card overheating as well.
I currently have 4 sticks of 2GB RAM. I will pop 2 sticks out and see what happens.
The BSoD started within the last 4 days. I have had the computer for close to a month and a half now.
The BSoD only occurs when I play AoC or WoW (games). It usually happens within 10 minutes of logging into the game and typically only when I am in combat (alot of action at one time). |

| I wouldn't recommend taking your case side off as it disrupts airflow. 55 and 45 degrees Celsius seems kind of hot. If you are in an area where it is possible to cool the room the computer is in just by opening a window, or turning on the air-conditioner you should do it. At those temperatures the computer starts to heat the room up and then the fans start to get useless and pull in hot air. Have you done any overclocking? If you have then the Blue Screens may be telling you about an instable overclock. Also what do you have for a PSU? And who is the manufacturer of your RAM and PSU?

55 and 45 degrees Celsius seems kind of hot. For AMD CPU's and Mobos those temps are perfectly fine. AMD CPU's only tend to overheat once they pass the 70 mark.
To continue on from what mafialord was saying about the RAM situation. Having 8GB ram with 32 bit vista is highly irregular - 32bit vista can only use at best 3.5gb of it (your gfx card would be taking up .5gb of the address space). I would upgrade to 64bit vista, and see if the problem continues, otherwise youve payed for an extra 4gb of ram that isn't being used.
Asus-SLI Deluxe, AMD x2 4400 (oc'd to 5000), x1900xtx (oc'd), 2GB Corsair XMS RAM 2-3-3-6 (4x512), 500GB Maxtor HDD w/ 32mb cache, 300GB Maxtor HDD w/ 16mb cache, Creative Audigy 4 (Daniel Driver Set), HVR-1100 Dvb-t hybrid TV card, 580W Hiper Type M PSU. 5.0 score on Vista Ultimate x64, 6040 3DMark 06' score on XP |
