But hey. Does it help if I copy paste my Windows BSOD ticket here or get the bsod 0x0... code when it bsods next time?

He's right, and I apologize for not believing but apparently newer MSI boards beep for the number of USB devices plugged in, absolutely stupid idea imo.. why would you care about getting beeps for # of usb devices plugged in?

I'd still run a memtest though hurry up with that :)

Usually not. Event viewer in administration is not really helpful either. You can sure to post your dxdiag report to www.techsupportforum.com -- there are nice people that reply quite fast. They will probably suggest the same things as here for a start -- memtest, cpu-test, 3dmark.

But all these tests will just show you what part of HW is damaged, that you will need to replace.

In some very rare cases, BSOD might be caused by software, but I would rule that out at first until you test your ram/cpu.

yeah. I'll try to hurry. But I need to buy empty dvd and all supermarkets are closed atm so I have to do it tomorrow.

By the way thanks everybody this far! Have gotten very good support. :D now I'll just need to go and buy empty dvd for memtest.

I will try the MemTest later. My dvd drive is broken atm too :D but I have another, I just need to find it.

So are you saying you get this odd sound through your speakers/headset before your BSOD's?

That would in general make one wonder about your sound device.

Also you can go into your advanced system settings -> Startup and Recovery and uncheck "automaticly restarts"...

Then you will get a more detailed view of the error instead of "beeeeep and bsod and pc restarts".   Which may help to identify your issue.

Also if you have multiple memory sticks.... (2 for example) .. you could always remove one and see if it still BSOD's and if so .. remove that one and put the other one in and check again.  (this will let you see if a paticular stick may have an issue...)

I will test the stick trick later. Too bad I have 4sticks. :)

EDIT: About the sound, don't know if you understand me but it starts repeating itself. Like take a 0,1seconds of a song and make it play and repeat itself.  I can't explain it. My english is too bad.

Your English is fine.. just sounds like you are describing a "sound loop" aka a sound starts to repeat itsself (basicly infinite) and then you get a bsod and restart.

You can do  a google search for "ooping sound bsod ati 4870" as an example and get a lot of hits.. don't really see any solutions right off.

Are you using the newest drivers off the ATI(AMD w/e) site?  (at least I think you listed a 4870 for video card..)

If you are using 4 sticks ... might be an issue .. I honestly haven't run anything but 2 x 2 (4 gigs) since I started using DDR2/3 depending on system.  Are they all the same brand?  In matched pairs?  I'd even ask if they are all the same size but I'm not sure that should be an issue.  (edit: the pairs would have to be the same size but I'm not sure if both pairs have to be the same capactiy aka two 2 gig sticks and 2 one gig sticks.)

What is the capacity of the sticks?  and when you are booting or go into bios does it display the correct amount?

they are all Kingston HyperX 1gb DDR2. Now I took one off and it's on my hand. I will not put it back before I get bsod. Don't know if bios shows correct amount haven't looked yet.

Seriously? 

I'll be damned.

Sorry about that Thillian. I've never heard of that before.

what brand of video card? is it a single slot or dual?

power supply- you said it was 500-550 watt but model/manufacturer?

if it is a single slot ati they get screamin hot. time for a aftermarket cooler.

if you have a generic power supply 500 watts doesnt really mean anything. it could be breaking down trying to feed the card under a heavy load. might need to get a good brand like pc power and cooling/corsair.

the other thing is sometimes vista and ati drivers dont get along-especialy if you run 64 bit vista. if you have a copy handy

try running your setup on xp. see if the crashes stop.
