I have been experiencing random reboots with my fresh Win 7 x64 build. I am suspecting either a bad ram sticks or ATI video card issue. I have attached the minidump and performance report logs.
Build:
AMD Phenom X6 1100T
Sabertooh 990FX
4 x 4Gb G.Skill Ripjaws 1600mhz
XFX 6850 1Gb
Intel 520 120GB SSD
Corsair TX750W
All drivers have been updated to the latest version.
I built a computer about a month ago and ever since the first attempt to install windows it has been giving me blue screens. The computer is working someone fine most of the time now, but still has a daily to twice a day blue screen error. I have done everything that google has said (Memtest, driver updates, HDD diagnostics, BIOS update, check registry, scan for virus, etc.)

And not just once, but once it reboots, it reboots again several times before I manage to log in or sometimes after I log in but not even get to the Desktop, or it halts completely when the windows Symbol appears (The one with the four dots which turn into a flag or something) so I have to turn it off by keeping the power button pressed. Also, the reboots are usually accompanied by a screeching sound.

I left the computer on for 4 days with no restarts. This is with a completely fresh install of 7 with all updates and the proper drivers for my system installed. Within less than 1 hour of starting WoW my system reboots, and now it does it approx. every 15-30 min if running WoW. Sometimes sooner, sometimes longer..This is the only error that comes up in the Event Log

I've read that event 6008 is a thermal event... meaning something's overheating... but i've been monitoring everything constantly and there's nothing running hot at all. In fact, everything is really cool within this system.
I've got my new build all setup and tried to install Windows 7 Professional 64bit. (System specs posted at bottom)
First attempt:My computer allowed me to get to drive selection and partition formatting without a selection and then shut off and proceeded to restart itself.
Second Attempt:Chose my drive, un-formatted, and got to the second step of OS installation (forgot the name i know its right after 'Copying Windows Files') and then proceeded to shut off and self restart.
Third attempt:Same as first attempt.
I've done more attempts but they have all ended just like my first and second attempt. I've tried taking out a few sticks of memory to check for bad memory (all tested working), installing on different drives to check for a bad drive (both tested working), updated the BIOS, lowering speed on memory, formatting both drives, and stripped my motherboard to where only the necessities were present in order to run the machine. The results have all been the same, looping random crashes and self restarts during the OS installation. Have even tried installing Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Same results.
System Specs:
Motherboard - ASRock P67 Fatal1ty Professional Series
CPU - Intel i7-2600k 3.4ghz (liquid cooled, sits at 32 C)
Memory - G.Skill Ripjaw X DDR3 1866 (4x4gb)
Video Card - Sapphire Radeon 6970 2gb
SSD - OCZ Vertex3 120gb (OS installation drive)
HDD - Western Digital Caviar Green 1.5TB 6.0gb/s 7200 RPM
PSU - Corsair Enthusiast series TX750w V2 (single rail)
Upon inserting the windows installation disk into the drive, the basic windows procedures took place. It then asked where we wanted to intall the windows operating system. We decided we wanted to partition his one and only hard drive (a 1TB Seagate at 7200rpm or so). We chose a 100GB partition to be the primary drive where the operating system would be installed. Windows also created a 104mb drive for system files or some nonsense. That left a 900 GB partition that would NOT have windows 7 installed on it. Everything installed, PC booted up and when we open windows explorer, the 900 GB drive does not appear. Maybe it has not been formatted?

Keep getting a BSOD so I guess I'll try to give as much information as I can and hopefully someone can give me a hand.It's also worth noting that it seems to occur more frequently while playing Star Wars the Old Republic but has also occurred while not doing so.

View 11 Replies View RelatedStarting today my pc had those random reboots while in windows 7. It started when I was away. When I got home I logged in and 5 minutes later it would reboot. I am now in Vista and do not have the same problem.
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo the title pretty much says it: quite randomly, the computer will freeze for a couple of seconds, and then reboot itself. The 'repair options' screen displays on the next startup. I always ignore it and continue to boot. I have actually been working on this machine for months. So I tried to fill out as much hardware info as possible in the registration form, so it should be viewable on my user account page. It's a Dell Inspiron 580 running Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64. I have professional Avast AV and firewall software running on this machine, as well as Malwarebyte's pro scanner (for flash scans). I have been up this machine's a$$ inside and out looking for malware, locking down IE, the firewall, installing security updates, etc, and I am convinced this is not a virus of any kind. I even threw on an IP firewall, fired up Wireshark, and let it go for an hour looking for FTP/SMTP logins or other suspicious activity, but it was all quiet.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo, I just got a new PC recently from Velocity Micro,
Core i7 2.8 GHz overclocked to 3.3 GHz
8 gigs of ram
500 gig HD
Windows 7 Home Premium x64
So the first few days I was receiving blue screens, with the heading
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
I went into the startup options and i believe it was Quickstep that I turned on, haven't experienced the BSOD since then.
Recently, certain games (Champions Online and Lord of The Rings Online) have been causing my computer to randomly reboot.
I can't really run programs like Prime95 or Memtest, because with the overclocked system they always find errors.
I want to know if I should be worried about this and what I should do. Velocity Micro tech support has yet to respond and I fear they may just have me send the damn thing back for repairs (2 weeks without a computer). Any suggestions on this topic would be extremely helpful. I am not terribly familiar with hardware. More software. Please if you do want to have me try something concerning bios or voltage, explain it to me because I will most likely not have done it before.
Every once in a while, my tablet PC/laptop will either just shut off completely, or will crash with a Stop 0x124 error. It mostly seems to happen when I have Firefox and IE open (I take classes online that require IE, otherwise I would never use it!), and I am using my mouse wheel to scroll a webpage up or down. It doesn't matter if I am scrolling in IE or in FF.
I checked online and from what I can see, this 124 error is pointing to either RAM or the BIOS, but can't determine which. I have 4gb RAM in this machine, and I have swapped it out already, as well as the hard drive. The only difference is that the machine came with Vista on it (from HP), and I put Win7 on it. HP did have drivers for this laptop on Win7, and I have installed all of those with no problems.
I replaced the hard drive about 6 months ago because the machine wouldn't boot up, and when I booted off the Win7 CD and ran chkdsk /r, it found a TON of bad clusters at the beginning of the drive, where I'm guessing the boot sector and boot files/partition would be. So I cloned the drive to the replacement, then ran a "repair" installation on Win7 to make sure none of the files were corrupted. Then I did all of the Windows Updates that I was prompted to install.
Has anyone been able to resolve a Stop 0x124 error, and if so, how?
- x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? windows 7 professional x64
- the original installed os on the system? no, installed myself on a clean system
- an oem or full retail version? i got it from a legal msdn academic alliance license.
- what is the age of system (hardware)? not old. probably 1,2 of 3 years old. (amd phenom ii x4 955.) see my profile for more specs.
- what is the age of os installation (have you re-installed the os?) 6 month old, but got crashes since the beginning. if i'm correct, even before the new motherboard/cpu/mem/psu/gpu install.
i think the crashes usually occur when watching tv on my pc using my avermedia capturehd (a pci-e hdmi input card). but i think i have seen crashes while not watching tv. maybe the capturehd card increases the chance a lot. crashes can be random. sometimes i have a week without crashes,sometimes continuously when rebooting.
a crash results in a bsod or a spontaneous reboot. after a spontanous reboot, the system sometimes halts in a black screen after the reboot.sometimes even a cold reboot doesn't boot well. sometimes after a reboot, starting the tv card immediately results in a reboot. crashes often occur when doing multiple things: watching Internet, having a tv window open, downloading. but sometimes also during low system use while having a tv window open.sometimes the radeon gpu driver shows a popup "display driver stopped responding", and continues working normally.
background info:i use a ssd as boot drive. ssd health is 100%. ram is checked using memtest, which shows no problems.
Is Windows 7 - x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? x64 - the original installed OS on the system? YES - an OEM or full retail version? Retail OEM - OEM = came pre-installed on system - Full Retail = you purchased it from retailer.What is the age of system (hardware)? 3 years old - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS? 3 months

What happens is the computer just reboots while playing some games. No warning, no blue screen, it just restarts as if the reset switch is being hit. It happens on games built on cryengine and unreal engine AFAK (happened on bioshock, and crysis 2). It does not happen on other games (like Just Cause 2) that are just as power intensive though so i am kind of confused about that. I just installed a clean Windows 7 Ultimate
I experience random reboots since a day or two, they happen every hour between 60 and 70 minutes of the last reboot. I already checked the event log and it only says a critical error but no reason identified. I haven't changed anything in the hardware the last couple of months.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've spend the last week scouring Windows 7 Forums finding dozens of people with this issue. At random times, during use or idle, the computer goes blank and reboots.Starting from a clean install of an OEM copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on a formatted HDD
1. Updated all drivers for my devices for Windows 7
2. Loaded and installed all current Windows Updates
3. Flashed and updated the BIOS
4. Ran the driver Verifier, did not see any errors reported
5. Tried to run sfc /scannow, system reboots when the scan gets to about 60% (tried twice)
6. All non-necessary devices (printer, external HDD, etc.) are disconnected.
I would attach a minidump file but there isn't one. I've got the system set to record one but it's not there. I have the view set to display all hidden files/folders. I've done searches for *.dmp files and typed in the address I've got set in the options ... no dice.I never get the BSOD, I have it set to not automatically reboot. It still goes blip and restarts anyway. There's no real pattern to the restarts but it loves to do it in the midst of installations.I've held off running a memory test simply because all my fellow sufferers keep reporting no errors in the memory and any time I do anything time consuming it fails when the system goes blip again. System Info via Advisor attached.
Just reinstalled Windows on a new Samsung PM 830 SSD. Can't tell if its the SSD or the other things that I have installed. Sometimes it gives the BSOD screen, sometimes Explorer just goes missing and Task Manager would be unavailable. These days the BSODs come more often and with little warning.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been having random reboots and sometimes hard-hangs whenever I am starting to play any PC games after start-up. I have to keep resetting and run through any checks I could think of but the checks always find everything to be okay. Sometimes I do get BSOD and I remember vaguely something about SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION and also the DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL phrases.[CODE]

I have recently done a fresh install and ever since then I'm getting random screen freezes (it never happened before fresh install)... the mouse, keys, ctrl alt delete etc.wont respond and the only way out is to hold down power and restart.I thought it could be a RAM problem but I have checked with memtest with no problems found. I have also scanned with malwarbytes antimalware with nothing found.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI keep getting BlueScreen errors and the pc is restarting after I switched motherboards from a gigabyte p55-usb3 to a biostar t5xe cfx-sli. I kept all the same components except I added another gtx 470. Thermal paste was freshly applied all around, all the idle and load temps seem normal. 30c/50c cpu and 40c/85c gpu.
1. Installed Win 7 Prof 64 bit on freshly formatted hard drive
2. Installed Drivers from motherboard cd (Biostar T5XE CFX-SLI)
3. Ran Windows update for awhile, restarted a few times, installed other programs
4. While browsing the net the pc shutdown and gave me a prompt upon startup with a "problem event name: bluescreen"
It also gave me the locations of a dump and a system file which I have included in the Shutdown #1 file.
1. After reviewing the error and searching the web I had read that it could be a possible heat issue, which didn't make sense as the first time I was just browsing the web. Idle the CPU is 30c and the GPU (SLI) is 40c for each card.
2. I downloaded the Unigine Heaven benchmark and ran it
3. PC shutdown in the middle of the benchmark and gave me different results in the post shutdown message. Files are in the Shutdown #2 file.
I used arctic silver on the cpu and on the gpu's. Everything is connected tightly and the only other thing installed is a wireless pci card which should have no problem. I used to use the exact same components on a gigabyte board (p55-usb3). The only reason I installed the Biostar Motherboard was to install another GTX 470 and run SLI.Everything seems normal as far as temps, the pc isn't slow, etc.I just decided to turn it off to avoid any possible damage and take the files I grabbed and post on a forum. This seemed like a good place to continue.
I've been experiencing seemingly random crashes and auto-restarts of my computer that started a couple months ago. When it crashes, the video feed to my monitors stops so they go dark and say no signal and any sound that was playing begins stuttering; after about 10 seconds my computer restarts, so apparently there was a bluescreen that I could not see and the delay was windows saving the crash dump.The problem is that the crashes are completely random; well, not completely, they only occur when I'm playing a fullscreen game, never when browsing the web or watching videos. About a month ago I freshly reinstalled windows 7 on a spare hard drive; hoping the problem was somehow related to 'garbage' and a fresh install would fix it. It stopped... for a while, and then started back up again.
I did some googling recently, found that someone with a similar issue had fixed it by upgrading their drivers; did so and found several including mobo inf and related were very out of date. That was about a week ago. When Skyrim was released on the 11th I did a marathon gaming session that lasted about 30 hours (yeah, I know) with zero computer issues whatsoever.Then, yesterday afternoon I started playing Skyrim again.. and it crashed again randomly about 2 hours into my play. Crashed again about an hour later; and then this evening it crashed like 10 minutes into my play session.I don't normally ask for help with computer issues; I've always fixed them myself with assistance from googling stuff and forums that helped me figure out what to do, but this is beyond me.
I built my current system december '08, upgraded the graphics card to the current gtx 570 last december and upgraded my OS from vista to 7 a few months ago. The rest of my system info is in my system profile stuff. Brief version below:
Gigabyte EX-58 Extreme
Core i7 920 stock clock (2.66ghz)
6GB (3x2GB) Corsair XMS3 1600MHz
EVGA GTX 570
Antec TPQ-1000 PSU
Windows 7 Pro x64 OEM
Also, my system runs quite cool; normal cpu idle temps are 84 F and system 120 ish. I've never experienced any graphical corruption either.One other thing I just recalled. Before about november 8th, these crashes used to say they were related to:Event 18 WHEA-logger A fatal hardware error has occurred.
Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error
Processor ID: 0
However, these particular crashes stopped once I upgraded my BIOS from the mobo original to the latest (non-beta) bios F12
As in thread title. Totally random and unexpected BSODs right after a system restore.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a new custom built computer put together by someone I work with. I have been plagued with problems and I think it's hardware related. I got my friend to reinstall Windows but it crashed several times before install completed. He said he tried on my SSD and Samsung HD but still the same problems occur.Ran Memtest and passed several cycles but tried again and got errors. I removed a ram stick and it passed but got a BSOD after 30 minutes of browsing the web. Then the other stick had the same problems but passed Memtest for 20 minutes until the text on screen garbled where errors are usually listed. I reran test and it passed for a long time. I have no overclock and everything is running at correct voltage. Seems to be very random and can happen when purposely restarting my PC or doing barely anything at all.I'm starting to think it's either the RAM or motherboard causing the problems. Here are my components-

Gigabyte G1.Sniper 2 Z68
8 GB G.Skill 1866 Ram
ATI 6950

I include my last batch of crash dumps since I had Windows reinstalled.I might have to RMA something but want to narrow things down.
OK so I built a system and after a frustrating bout with BSODs caused by a bad mobo (replaced) i finally got it to work. However i was just browsing the interwebs and i got a bluescreen in fact ive gotten several 3 have been stop code 3b

I've recently built a a computer for my sister out of spare parts. Every couple of hours it just seams to BSOD. I'm not the most skilled pc builder as I'm only 14. At first it just freezes but then it just goes to the blue screen. I have included a BSOD Dump and my system spec is as follows;

I am running a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit and I have reinstalled it twice?
I've spent my whole day trying to figure out what is going on with this to no avail What I've Done: Installed Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit OS on Crucial M4 drive that was acting up and freezing Continued freezing after installing drivers, stable for 10-30mins then freeze, requires hard reset every time updated FW to 000F as recommended, same deal

so i have come to conclude the blue screen happens when ever it wants and i took a picture on my phone so i have some info, (0x00000000000000000000041790, 0xFFFFFA80016A? after that i cant see any more cuz i had only a second to take the pic
also i attached the info suggested in the locked threads
I just purchased a new build, listed below, and cannot figure out why I am getting random hard freezes. There is no blue screen of death, just hard freeze required restart. I get about 3-5 a day.

I am running low on time, as my one month for newegg returns runs out soon. I lost a week having to RMA the hard disk already, as the first one that came was DOA. I have performed furmark for 20 minutes, no failure. Memtest overnight, no failure. Seagate tools, passed test (didn't do thorough long test). Prime95 CPU small FFT for 8 hours, no problem. Prime95 CPU blend for 3 hours, no problem. I have tried reinstalling windows 7, and I have updated the BIOS.
My current system was upgraded to windows 7 32bit from vista 32bit (I bought the windows 7 home premium upgrade disc when it was first released). I am going to build a complete new system. Can I install windows 7 64bit from the same windows 7 disc? Or do I have to buy a new windows 7 disc? Is there a way around buying a whole new disc?
