[BSOD] STOP: 0x000000f4

[Androme]

Hey.

The problem occurs randomly. Sometimes it happens when trying to install a program, sometimes when I'm copying files over from my D drive to my C drive (two hard-drives) other times when just opening up a program even as simple as Notepad! This is annoying.

Specifc tech error message: STOP: 0X000000F4 (0X00000003, 0X89.....)

the ... indicates differences in the remaining paramters - e.g. one was 0X89D, but the last 9 times have been 0X89B1F... where ... has differentiated as well

I've looked around on Google and yes, I have looked at every Microsoft KB support article on this particular stop error message. I have put my SATA drive into the main slot, I have a DVD-ROM drive as master (as I have no PATA drives) and the problem remains.

I have ran Memtest86 and it reported no errors. I ran an overheating program checker and it detected no overheating. I have all hotfixes and SP2 - Win XP Home.

There are no conflicts in Device Manager. I have all drivers up to date.

Specific hard-ware information:

Intel C2D E6700, Asus P5N-SLI NF 570 (mobo), 2x1GB DDR 6400 Corsair XMS2, Enermax Noisetaker EG701AX-VE 600W PSU, XGamerX Nvidia GeForce GX2 7950 1GB gfx.

I am at a dead-end. Any help is greatly appreciated.
