this was a special adaptor mount designed to fit a 120mm fan in 3 empty bays on front panel - overall width of mount 150mm height 127.5mm
if I don't find it for sale again, I can order a bit of 2mm ally that size and drill it out - or (cheapskate version) cut some rigid foam to jam the fan in situ
without extra airflow, CPU temp nudges 80C at 100% BOINC workload which is a worry

Link to close up photo - showing front fan + ruddy cat hair and hole ifn filter so its time to replace that!
White material around fan is a simple card template that I used to fill the gap - not pretty, but does the job!

OK - clean install appears to have done the trick (fingers crossed)
I was even VERY brave and did BIOS update, and mobo chipset update
BOINC app now chugging away at 90% with CPU temp 69 - 71C
- at present I have side off casing and a desk fan blowing on CPU (not ideal in a house full of cat fur)
- would like to fit 120mm fan + filter on the front panel (takes up 3 empty drive bays)
- I got an adaptor to do that to my own PC many years ago
- cannot remember where I got it - if you or any of your PC buddies know a source, I'd be VERY glad
Otherwise I will drill out the side panel and fit it there (less ideal for front-to-back airflow)
MANY THANKS again for your excellent help

many thanks Jord - just did re-install keeping peronal files and apps - crashed again, showing "attempted to write to ROM" message again
I had refitted RAM cards (after power off natch) and was not even running the BOINC Manager, so it looks like I need to do a clean re-install (sigh)
thanks for all your help so far - I'll just have to bite the bullet and get on with it :-( ... now doing "keep nothing" install ... if that doesn't work, will wipe C drive and boot from USB stick - fingers crossed!

"this might take a while" ....no kidding! ;-)

thanks again Jord - I have run BlueScreenViewer and done an Alt-PrtScrn for each of the reports that appeared - will add them to the web page with screenshots and advise you here when that is done

OK - BSV dump files here - TIA - truly & humbly grateful!

thank you Bryn Mawr - running Windows 10 memory test now
will post test result ASAP
may well also power down, and reseat RAM cards which maybe I should have done when I installed the mobo - Doh!

OK - memory test did not find any faults, but there were a lot of red entries in the event viewer log which mean nothing to me - if one of you helpful people can Use Team Viewer, I am happy for you to take a look in real time -

test results follow

hello folks - I have been a BOINC contributor for years now, recently upped my game and formed a team of friends to all tackle the Covid-19 issue, and even replaced old 32-bit only mobo (VERY slow crunching) and put the app on my wife's desktop PC to squeeze out as many tasks as possible - BUT - her machine keeps crashing to BSOD

I have throttled back on CPU usage to 60% and it still crashed (AMD A8-7600 CPU)

I have taken photos of the different crash meessages and some other useful screenshots - if I knew how, I'd attach them to this post?
if that is not allowed, I can upload them to an online folder - please advise?

many thanks - richard
