Blue Screen - Hardware issue?

Any Suggestions to my previous question?

Wich brand would you recommend? TwinMos, OZC, Kingston, Crucial or Corsair?

And wich is best PC6400 or 8500?

Hi

The ones I have personal experience with, are Kingston, Crucial and Corsair.
All 3 are good brands in my book.(Altho I like Corsair's PSU more than their RAM, but thats just my personal opinion)

As for the speed of the RAM, 6400 or 8500, really depends on your CPU + Motherboard FSB.
I use Kingston PC6400's which are quite good for my system.

This may shed some further light on your question: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/page-245906_12_0.html

Hey! Thanks alot for the information, It seems that the reboots was because of the Ram sticks not beeing completley in slot since it hasent rebooted yet. It hasent ever runn this long without rebooting before. But i keep in touch of progress. Abydos: Thanks il look at the link:) Regards Jon

Hello Again! Ok.. Now i have gotten 2 more Blue Screens again. First one said: IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal Technical Information STOP: 0x0000000A (0x00000008, 0x00000002, 0x0000000, 08053915D) Second one said: The problem seems to be caused by the following file: ACPI.sys PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA 0x00000080 (0xFFFFFFFF, 0x00000001, 0xBA693494, 0x00000000) And when i got back into Windows i got this: The computer has recoved since a serious error. A log file has been created. Error signature: BCCode : 1000000a BCP1 : 00000008 BCP2 : 00000002 BCP3 : 00000000 BCP4 : 8053915D OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 3_0 Product : 256_1 C:\***************************\Temp\WER24a2.dir00\Mini012309-01.dmp C:\***************************\Temp\WER24a2.dir00\sysdata.xml What do you think it could be now? Regards Jon

Have a look in your Device Manager. Are there any drivers with yellow or red warnings?

Hello! 1 yellow and 1 Red x, but the yellow is my USB-Camera , havent installed it yet. And the red X is the motherboards sound card, i use another card so its disabled Besides those 2, nothing.. Why?

The error code "could" be related to a call for a driver that does not exist. That's like saying that "it could rain in the Arizona desert next week". Sure it "could". But not a top likelihood. But since you "know" that the two item drivers are not present in use…. remove them. Might clear this up… Might not. Worth a try. Doug

I have now removed all, and now there is nothing there. What if this dosent work, whats the next step? Regards Jon

Have you made any changes just before the two blue screens?
For instance, installing
New Hardware
New Software
Updates to Operating System (Windows)
Updates to your antivirus/antispyware/firewall


What were you running on the machine when the blue screens occurred?

Since you were recently "inside the case" to replace your Hard Drive and RAM, did you make any other physical changes.
For instance, if it was a "tight fit" to get the Hard Drive into its compartment, you may have had to remove the Video Card to make room during the process.

Turn off the machine - unplug the power cord - press the Start/Power button on the front panel of the case for 10 seconds to discharge your pre-heat capacitors - use "static electricity" caution, grounding your body to the case (touch bare metal of the case structure) before touching any components.

Inspect your Video Card
Assure that it is completely seated in its module slot.
Assure that any power connector to your Video Card is fully seated (may not have a power connector on some Video Cards)

Are all other connectors firmly seated?

IDE or SATA connector to the Hard Drive?
Power connector to the Hard Drive?

Inspect any PCI Cards for complete seating. (sound card, ethernet adapter)
Do you have a dialup modem installed as a PCI Card in this machine?
If you don't use dial-up connection, you can consider removing it.

Did you use Compressed Air to blow out the Slots as previously recommended above?

Have you recently connected any USB peripherals?
Maybe connecting a Printer or camera or head-set or USB Flash Drive, or USB external HD ?

I wonder if it could relate to "heat".

Do you already have a utility that displays component heat features?

If not, we can get a "rudimentary" heat display by using Everest 2.20
(This is your Desktop - Running XP….. Right?)

Install and Run Everest 2.20
Select - Computer - Sensor
From the Command Line on top of Everest, select Report - Quick Report - Sensor

Post that report in your next reply.

Hello! I have done any changes to the computer. All i did was to check the RAM-Sticks. Then i went back into windows and it was running for 1/2 day without making Blue-Screen. I was in windows when the first blue-screen appeard. Then i restarted it and came to a black screen. Nothing more happend. Turned off the computer let it be off for a litte while, then i booted it up again. And the second came when the computer booted. And i restarted again. It runned a scan on one of my HDs and then Windows booted up again. Works now, but i never know how long. I will check if everything is sitting right. And no, i havent connected anything USB kind.

Hello! I got a Liquid Cooling case. Regards Jon

Hello Again! here is the report: ——–[ Sensor ]—————————————————————————————————— Sensor Properties: Sensor Type ITE IT8712F (ISA 290h) GPU Sensor Type Driver (NV-DRV) Temperatures: Motherboard 24 °C (75 °F) Aux 51 °C (124 °F) GPU 63 °C (145 °F) WDC WD1000FYPS-01ZKB0 40 °C (104 °F) WDC WD1500HLFS-01G6U0 38 °C (100 °F) HDT722525DLAT80 41 °C (106 °F) Cooling Fans: CPU 4787 RPM Chassis 4066 RPM Voltage Values: CPU Core 1.20 V +2.5 V 1.89 V +3.3 V 3.31 V +5 V 4.89 V +5 V Standby 5.13 V VBAT Battery 3.31 V Debug Info F 8D A6 FF Debug Info T 51 24 254 Debug Info V 4B 76 CF B6 00 00 1D (77) Want more then that?

Hi Jon, I presume your liquid cooling is specifically and only for the CPU block? Your temperatures are reasonable, though the temp on the GPU is "edging" higher than some, but not necessarily too hot for that Card. Is there a fan on your Video Card? Is it running? Your case-fans are turning at very high rate (that's ok, but may mean that they are being instructed to turn at higher rates to combat your component temperatures) How/Where is your case tower located? On top of a flat surface desk with good air circulation all around would be good. Inside of a custom built Desk Slot enclosure would be bad, since that would restrict ventilation. Your Voltages are generally within tolerance. except: +2.5 V 1.89 V That is an unusual variance. But I don't even know if that power supply rail is being used. If not used, it makes no difference. If being used, it might make a difference. Will you please run Everest Again Select - Summary Post a quick report of Summary. Thanks

What is the power connection situation for that machine? Is it connected through a surge-protector? What other lights and utilities use the same house circuit? I wonder if those temperatures, particularly the GPU would go down if you directed a separate desk or room fan into the case with one side panel open? Consider giving that a try, though again the GPU temperature "may not" be a problem.
