TRAP_CAUSE_UNKNOWN BSOD Windows XP

by popher . Updated 20 years, 8 months ago

For several months, my computer (born in January) has been getting a Blue Screen of Death, TRAP_CAUSE_UNKNOWN.
I am running Windows XP SP2 on an Athlon XP 3000+, Radeon 9800se 256MB, 512MB ram.
I have tried using WinDbg on a FULL 512MB memory dump, with online and downloaded symbol files several times, meriting only ntoskrnl.exe as fault.
I have reinstalled gfx drivers, and as many drivers as I can be bothered. Sometimes it crashes when running Games, sometimes when only running mIRC. Sometimes it crashes when doing lots, sometimes when not doing much.
My computer temperatures are (according to Mobo) 45C 115F case, roughly the same idle for CPU.
I have 8 Fans (2 case at 8cm, 2 PSU at 8cm, 1cpu, gfx and 2 mini fans taking air into case, 4cm each.) A non-stock fan for CPU.
I havent tried a repair install of Windows yet.
The crashes appear random. Some days getting 4 a day, some days none. 21 since 9th of September.
