Ok guys, first off I want to say I've searched everywhere and done numerous tests on my system and decided its time to post, maybe I could get some help here.
This is my first computer build:
Gigabyte P35C-DS3R
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
2GB Corsair Dominator TWIN2X2048-8500C5D
Two Seagate Barracuda HD's 320GB
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT 512MB
First things first, I had numerous errors when installing Windows XP Professional SP2, but it ended up installing. The BIOS for this board is very confusing to me being a novice at this. I've gotten several blue screens through its use so far but my main concern is trying to play world of warcraft. Within a minute of logging into the game I get errors that I cannot figure out. First thing I did was run seagate seatools to test my hard drives and they both failed the short test, so then I did it in BIOS and they both passed, then again in Windows and they both passed again. I also tried Prime95, the Blend and second option (not the small) both failed on the first test, saying hardware failure. The small test failed at 1hr 53mins. I've run memtest86+ and got about 140 errors during the first run. I really don't know what else to do with this system, all of these issues combined make me think it is related to the board (how could every piece of hardware have something wrong?). What are some other steps I could take in diagnosing the problems?
