So I've been getting this error for... I think about 2years now. I just kind of ignored it but recently it's been annoying me a lot more because it will crash my system multiple times every day, especially when I'm running GTA5 or any heavy CPU & GPU intensive games.
quick PC specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home Edition 64bit
motherboard: MS-7713
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640 3.00Ghz, 4cores
GPU: MSI R7 260X 2GB
RAM: crucial 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz
HDD: 1.5TB Seagate ST31500541AS
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. A7713MLN.106
This is a prebuilt MedionPC with a mix of hardware upgrades I did over 5-6years.
I ran BlueScreenView and it highlighted hal.dll which from what I've researched, indicates that it's a hardware problem.
Filename: hal.dll
Address In Stack: hal.dll+f768
From Address: fffff800`0320a000

Besides that I also checked the HDD for bad sectors and it came back clean. Reset my BIOS to default. Never OC'd anything.
I actually did quite a bit of research and most of it said to adjust my voltages in BIOS but my motherboards BIOS is extremely limited and doesn't let me adjust much besides device boot priority and some other minor things.
The interesting thing however is that even with my 450w PSU, for some reason I cannot power my system with both, front and back fans. As long as 1 of the fans isn't powered, I can start up my PC no problem. If I try connecting them both, 1 out of 3 fans wont spin; front, back or GPU. I bought this PSU from a local PC hardware store for like $50 some time around...hell I think it might be just 2years ago after the previous one died on me.
Is there anything I can do besides buy a new PSU & a new motherboard? The motherboard may not be at fault but I don't like being so incredibly limited in BIOS. From what I gathered, a 450w PSU should be more than enough for my system. I'm surprised it's causing me problems. Should I buy a more powerful PSU?
