Hi,i really need help and hope someone here can help me.

Some days ago,i bought myself a new computer..ehre are the specs.

AMD 64 San Diego 4000+
2 GB of Corsair memory
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
2 BFG Gforce 6800 Ultra 256
Plextor PX 716A (sata)
2 Western Digital Raptor 10k 74 GB HDD (sata)
Windows XP Pro with SP2
Creative Labs Audigy 4 pro
And some game controller (logitec and saitek)

I used the latest driver for all equipment,upgraded the DVDRom and the MB
bios.
I didnt used raid.Also have latest direct x and other windows updates .

Heres the problem..this is a fresh installation of Windows.

The first problems i got was soem blue screen of death during windows use
(playing Diablo2 and 2 during boot up..it was too fast to write anything
down..i changed that now..but since then there was no other BSOD). I had some
lockups in C&C Genrals and Diablo 2.

And i always get the messages : "programm name" has encountered a serious
error and has to be closed. Sorry for the inconvienience". Something like
that. The programms were until no ZOnealarm,Firefox and GTA San andreas.

I played around and when i deactivate in the nvidia menu,the SLI
function,GTA starts without problems. But when i load Outlook express,Zone
alarm crashes with the msg above and i cant use the net anymore..until a
restart.

If i activate the SLI option,i cant play gta but OE and ZA have no problems
with each other.

When Firefox had this problem with the serious error once,it was the first
time it happend,so i tried it three times and Xp crahsed and restarted.

I can play a game for hours withput problems,or let the computer run
overnight withoput crashes.

I ran prime 95,the win memory test and memtest 86 ,but no memory problems
were dicovered. I ran serveral HD checks,but no problem.

I have active smart,to check the smart status of the disks,and the only
problems is the error seek rate sometimes going up on both drive (one drive
is empty and is not in use...but partioned and windows knows about it. I
wrote WD if there is any reason of concern,but no answer yet.

Still,i dont get any weird HD sounds and the files,that encounter problems
are copyable without any problems.

I played aroudn with bios options...windows optioon,gfx options,deacticvated
all kind of tasks..nothing.

Im really REALLY desperate right now and dont know what else i can do..so i
hope i get some help here....because my new rig is a nightmare til now.


Thanks.

New computer = new computer warranty.

Have you contacted the place where you purchased the computer
regarding these problems?

Good luck
