OT (BSOD ammusements)

Win XPH pc turns up producing BSODs (stop errors) on top of the assorted 
ransom-ware fake AV programs etc..
Fun for all..

In my experience stop errors are usually caused by corrupted system 
files and/or bad hard drive - also faulty ram can cause it too.

So I do a boot from CD and repair - chkdsk /p and it finds no hard disk 
errors.

Maybe its the ransom-ware causing it, boot into safe mode and run USB 
spyware scanner - halfway through scan BSOD

Ok swap out the RAM for known good stuff - repeat above steps - BSOD

hmmm sumbich!

Chuck in another Hard Drive and start a winxph reinstall - halfway 
through, you guessed it........BSOD

x#$$^&=~!!!

Ok - faulty PSU perhaps?
Change that out - still does it .... FFS!

So we have changed out the HDD, RAM, PSU, DVDRW, and associated cables...
And we still get BSODs.

The saga continues.......
