 Thread : IE 7 and/or Winamp issue?? please help
 
More Information

Hi,

I currently got a weird problem with my computer. I posted a thread about 2 months ago in the motherboard section about this trouble thinking it was hardware issue.

My problem is: i'm surfing the net, or opening IE7, and at the same time, i'm listening to music on winamp and BAM!! My speakers are wacking, i get a blue screen and "beep", all is rebooting...

I got this problem back in july until august, when after several tests with pieces i've got under my hand and some software tests, i concluded it was caused by either my MB or my PSU, so I changed my PSU. Nothing changed, it was just always crashing at the second i started IE7. So i then concluded that it was my MB, since it wasn't the first trouble i had with it. Since i was on socket 939, i did the move to AM2, because it wasn't a expense i was supposed to do and i was tight in my budget, Intel was just to much expensive.

So i went on, bought a new MB, new memory, new CPU, over my PSU i had already changed. Boot it up, install anything I needed to, made all windows update, and again, a blue screen. But this time, it seems to be my principal hard disk, because everytime i was booting, windows was checking it. So, i went back to the store, bought a new hard disk, plug it in, reinstall and everything went fine.

Until today :fou: ...

But, the three times i got a blue screen today, were when i was using winamp and IE7 et the same time. Does anyone knows issues about those softwares, or any thing else on hardware that could help me???

My specs:

AMD Athlon64 X2 6000+
