Well, today at my house (last day) we had a lan. Mates pc was fine but was suffering from restarting during gaming (formatted, checked temps and reinstalled) and it seemed fine. It randomly turned off...and kept turning off whenever it was booted (after login screen, like a virus or something) - safe mode would work, but then began to do the same.
So we formatted, or at least tried. It formatted then came windows installation...it got near the end then BSOD-ed which
ed it all up forcing it to restart installation. It kept doing this for ages so I reformatted. This time it BSODed immediately and kept doing it (various errors but Page_fault_in_non_paged_area distinctively stuck in my mind). So, again another format, hoping to get luck (it worked fine the night before). This time it tells me it requires some file (I398 or something) and couldnt find it on the disk (couldnt find the disk drive completely iirc)
So...Lan was over for him before it began. Dno why its asking for the file as it worked fine the night before. I even tried my slipstreamed disk (what i used the night before) and it either BSODs or asks for those files (then freezes in installation if missed file is skipped)
My guess is its deffo hardware - could it be ram? Temps were...ok-ish...nothin to affect it. CPU hit 55c after 5 odd hours of trying to get the biatch to work (also set bios to defaults and fail safe defaults to no avail.
)
Really is piessing me off! Its down to me to fix it too as I built it for him
memtest86+ test ftw? Any other stuff it could be?
Cheers

Exams start tomorrow too! Gah
