Random Reboots / Crash Errors
Mar 25, 2008
Alright so heres the issue, I had aquired a Trojan-spy.win32@mx. And i went through the process of deleting it. Which was quite long and annoying. Now however my computer randomly decides it feels like rebooting. Ive ran Chkdsk /f, and even did a non destructive restore. And nothing has helped, so im stuck here in safemode till i can get some help. Best buy wants to charge me $129 dollars to fix it, but who has that kind of money for them to run a few things? SO please guys if you could help it would be great.

This is a very serious situation for me. I have XP/sp2/608ram. 11 days prior to the problem I upgraded from 128 + 512 ram as well as upgraded to a LG 16x Super Multi DVD/CD rewriter. Everything ran fine. Just noting. Thursday I bought and installed a wireless router. When booting down there was a hissing/crackling noise from the subwoofer, and consequently the subwoofer died. Saturday afternoon, while listening to winamp media stream, the system suddenly informed me that windows was logging off. It then at random intervals continuously rebooted. Only by turning off my surge protector was I able to stop it from happening. While trying to troubleshoot the problem I have determined that it usually occurs within 45min-1 1/2 hours after turning on the system ( except for a couple of instances where it stayed on for 5 1/2 hours and a different instance in which it started to boot down after 7 min.) I also while attempting to post this the first time booted down my machine to off mode. Several minutes past and the machine booted up again to begin the cycle of hell. I have Freedom anti-virus, which detects nothing. In closing, I'm desperate for some feedback as I am new to Montreal and don't know any shops that I know and can trust and so I am therefore reduced to take it to futureshop.

About a week or so ago immediately after exiting a browser and world of warcraft (WoW) we couldnt open any program, application, anything and got the error message that the C://WINDOWS folder was corrupted. We eventually got the system back and running after. We still had all our files but all settings were reset (menus, wallpaper, icons etc.) Save for a couple games not working it works ok except for random reboot when I'm playing WoW or other things with some graphic strain. It has run WoW perfect before without any reboots.

I am plagued by random crashes. First my computer started crashing during scheduled scan using McAfee 2004 ver. 8 Now it crashes when I manually tell it to scan and at other random times when I'm just doing "regular work".After several discussions with McAfee they say the problem is with my Windows XP Pro because the system also crashed when they were doing the free scan from their website. It has also crashed during a free scan from Symantec.I disabled automatic restart and now sometimes get a "blue screen of death" but mostly it just shuts off.

I've recently assembled a new server for my wife with the following:
Asus A8S-X Socket 939 Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Socket 939 CPU
Biostar GeForce 7300 LE supp. 256MB PCIe
I used the old hard drive which was loaded with windows XP pro and when the system was ready, I configured all the new drivers. I'm afraid I have some corrupt system files but really don't know how to proceed to take care of it.

I would get occasional freezes and random reboots, moreso than with my previously computer. It would usually take me three reboots to get the computer going well, but then it would be fine. I had done two clean installs of xp so I know the OS is fine. As mentioned, i had occasional xp shutdowns due to "device driver problems," but i could always get it going again. All drivers were up to date. Now i have it so that i can not even get into windows. After it gerts through bios, the windows loading logo comes up, then blue screen, and reboot. Everytime. Tried switching hard drive with another that has xp pro and same thing. Blue screen says usual suggest disabling anti-virus but can't even get into windows now.

I'm new here, just signed up to ask this question, but I need a good tech forum.
If you guys can give me aclue of what to do next, other than a reinstall, I'd be very grateful.Okay, heres the thing.About a month ago, I was doing some updates, both from HP, and from Windows UpdateI made the mistake of just starting it up and leaving on an errand.Well, there was an error in installlation somehow, a brownout, something.Afterwards, It wouldn't even boot past the login screen except in safe mode.In safe mode, I checked the event monitor for what was failing in system errors, and determined it was the new update for the AMD processor driver, as well as some other programs that wanted to load.I rolled back the driver, uninstalled the program, an antivirus suite, and rebooted.

I need help with a very annoying problem. For several months now I have been experiencing totally random explorer.exe crashes. They can happen maybe every couple of days or sometimes it can go several weeks before a crash. The crashes can occur when using Windows Media Player or while browsing the Internet or sometimes doing absolutely nothing at all Like I said it is random, not only in what I'm doing but also when it happens.The error message is very vague and when I look in Event Viewer, all it says is Event ID 1000, Faulting application explorer exe, version 6.0.2900.5512, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x04aa2128 (the fault address is never the same though.)

my comp was giving me this prob, where it would suddenly reboot and froze randomly, at that time I've not made any hardware modifications. At first i ignored the problem and kept using the comp at my own leisure... however as time passed, the frequency of reboots become more often to a point where after 5 sec from a reboot, it would reboot again and occasionally after a reboot a blue screen will pop up mentioning that windows is experiencing a prob and dumping of physical memory begins... which im not sure what is that about. After many attempts at finding the source of the probn i gave up ...and decided to go ahead with reformatting the comp.

I have just: Done a successful repair/rebuild of XP Home Did a CHKDSK /r/f on my System drive Defragmented my system drive with PerfectDisk Read and applied recommentations on changes so that I would see errors when my system re-boots Yet, When I shutdown my PC, it will shotdown, then re-boot again, without the benefit of a error messagw to help me figure out why it is re-booting instead of shutting down and powering off. Is there something wrong with my Phoenix Bios have ACPI On? What can I do to see error/warning messages on why my system re-boots when I shutdown?

I had some problems recently and with the help of one of the TSG locals, I located and got rid of a malicious file.However, I had a problem at that time that I could not resolve, and am still trying to beat it down. Now I am beginning to get random errors I can only run Spybot S & D in safe mode. Progress bar for it will show it at about 39.../56120. Then the system reboots itself, sometimes twice...and sometimes there comes the message that my computer has recoverd from a serious problem I have a similar problem with running PandaScan, it just won't make it all the way through.I know I have tons of stuff running in the background and would like to cut out as many of those as I can, I've just not gotten that far yet.I'm posting my HJT log in hopes someone can help spot my culprit.

I've given up.. This problem has been occuring for quite awhile now and I'm really clueless as to what is causing it. I've conducted a destructive system recovery via the copy of windows on my HDD twice, and also from a windows CD. I've ran memtest for both my RAM and HD and both tests always come back OK... The errors occur randomly.. sometimes my computer can stay on for 4+ hours without one, sometimes they appear within 30mins of turning on my PC.I'm a computer newbie, but I wrote down some info from the last blue screen errors:
Quote: STOP: 0x000000D1
SYMTDI.sys - Address BADC3DB7
STOP: 0x0000008E
Win32k.sys - Address BF8011A3 The most common errors I remember included something about either one of the following:
DRIVER_IRQL _NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
I've attatched the minidump files I have since last re-booting my system. I hope I've provided enough info.

Recently i have been having lots of crc errors whilst unzipping files. My initial thought was that one of my hard drives was on its way out. I had checked them all using the manufacturers diagnotic ultility (Seatools) with all testing features and each one, on all drives, returned without error. I thought my suspicions were confirmed when i turned my drive on for the BIOS not to recognise one of my SATA's (a Barracuda 7200.11). After a bit of research i found out that this was prob not the cause of my crc errors as the SD15 version of the firmware supplied with my drive had a bug and causes the drive to go into a hibernated state, a separate issue i'm trying to deal with.After removing this particular hard drive along with Vista out of my system i installed win XP onto another drive temporarily. I am having the same problems with the CRC errors on my other drives which seem to be operating normally. The kind of files i'm talking about are fairly large usually demos or trailers etc in .rar format.
As i understand it CRC errors can also come from faulty RAM. I have recently RMA'd some faulty RAM back to OCZ and the stuff in my system currently is the brand new RAM i got sent back from my RMA. I know this can be causing the CRC errors and occasional random restarts regardless of how new it is so i have checked both sticks individually using memtest86. I only had time to let them do 1 pass each but both came through error free.If any of you out there have any suggestions for what else i can do to figure out what is wrong i would very much appreciate it. Could it be a lack of wattage on the psu causing the restarts? Processor? I'm stuck,

I have been getting random BSODs repeatedly and a variety of other errors.I am running Windows XP SP3 on a Dell Latitude D820.The BSODs happen randomly throughout the day. I scanned for virus with MBAM, spybot, symantic, microsoft malicous remover, used ccleaner, ran diagnostics and came up wiht nothing.Additionally, sometimes when the computer boots it will boot with inverted colors (or just generally messed up colors) and sometimes when trying to log into the user account it says:"Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the default profile for the system.

About once a day, my system starts displaying random errors. Applications do not work as they should, and my network card is seemingly disabled. The only solution is a reboot. During the shutdown process, the welcome screen is usually enabled, however, when these errors occur, small dialog boxes saying "Logging off" and "shutting down" are displayed. I am pretty sure it's not spyware, as this is a fresh install of XP only a week old.

This is very mysterious. The very first time each day I start up my XP machine, it boots fine. After that first boot, whenever I boot again, there's a 75% chance the boot will fail with the following message:"STOP: c0000221 Uknown Hard Error SYSTEMROOTSYSTEM32 tdll.dll"
Of course, that means that there's a 25% chance it'll boot fine! If after it fails I keep on trying and trying, eventually it'll boot perfectly again.How can this be? Either there's something wrong with "SYSTEMROOTSYSTEM32.

Windows Installation : Various files cannot be copied and/or not copied correctly. Giving blue screen of [enter] retry, [esc] skip or F3 to abort installation. Files constantly failing to copy : cyycoins or something, lots of .chm files, too many to mention. Curious thing is, same problems for both optical drives and both HDDs, varying both for many installations. Eventually I held down [enter] and the files went in, well some didn't but Windows booted fine.
Warhammer Dawn of War : Winter Assault. wh40k.cab is corrupt. Changed optical drives during installtion, installed fine. Could be hardware issue with my cdrom, Same game, when playing will crash to desktop. No error message sometimes, no indication of crash (no freezing or warning sounds or stuttering, just flat out BOOM, .exe gone. Sometimes error message appears to send error report, sometimes doesn't. Occurs while under load
I thought this could again be CDROM issue, with the copy protection not keeping the game running because disc wasnt read right.
Mozilla Firefox : Dunno really. Loaded it up to access webpage. Some survey appeared, then program locks up for maybe 10 seconds then crashes with firefox.exe has encountered error Windows built in message appears. Firefox is unable to load up again due to missing/corrupted .dll file error. Cannot page_read or something. I forget the whole error message. Guess coulda been important to save it to post here.
Whole system reboot. Idle one time, machine just goes down, then starts up again. Flat reboot. Didnt touch any buttons, then once in Windows 'recovered from serious error' message appears. Tells me after sending report its a device driver issue. Changed My Computer options to give the Blue Screen of Death so that the driver is named, nothing, just page_file_read or errors along those lines I know nothing about.
Don't know what is wrong. Hardware issue could be Optical Drive. But then again I have 2 drives, and the errors ocur no matter which one I use, same with the Hard Disks. I'm stumped. Its quite a huge issue. I have nothing on the drives, I backed all my stuff up before formatting after starting to get errors 1-4. I got these errors before format and immediately after. So would indicate Hardware issue would it not Can it be a BIOS problem? Or wiring, neither of which i have altered or been brave enough to look at.

I will try to be as specific about my problem in general.I am using a Compaq laptop, using Windows XP. I don't know much more than that, but I can search for additional information regarding specs and stuff.It all started one day when I was browsing the internet using the latest version of Firefox. I turned up my volume and the blue screen of death appeared (advising me to seek tech support of sorts).I restarted, and yet again touching the volume yielded the blue screen of death. I tried several, possibly 6 times, and the only thing causing the blue screen of death is altering the volume in any way, including touching the volume buttons, adjusting volume in the volume control and adjusting the wave settings in volume control.
So I ran Spyware Doctor. I do pay the full 40 bucks a year for this wonderful program, and it detected a bunch of freaky looking things. Like adaware, something called virtumonde, and all these high threat viruses and adware, but it wiped them clean. I ran it again, it found 3 more standard viruses that it didn't name, cleaned them, ran SWD again and nothing appeared, so I assume now my computer is free from whatever was messing with me.The volume problem still persists though, and also at random times the blue screen of death will appear (I'm praying now it won't as I type all this or I'll cry).Then another problem occurred. When I try to open a file of sorts, that pesky message appears- windows explorer has an error of some sort, do you want to close it or ignore it?or something to that extent, so I can't view any sort of files now. I am running the computer in safe mode (which still exhibits the risk of a blue screen attack, but I can view the folders properly). Somethings up, what can I do to fix this? Any suggestions? I will try to answer any thing I might have left out.

my computer is weird to the max....here are some problems just to name a few: when running random programs, i get fatal execution errors, i get messages asking to debug random apllications or terminate them, i get messages to just terminate things, i get messages that start coming up whenever i try and open something and whatever i try and open it says it has to close....sometimes my whole screen turns blue with white typewriter font saying i have hit a problem and i need to shut down (blah blah if the problem persists contact blah blah if this is the first time uve seen this error just reboot blah blah) sometimes my computer locks up and i get stupid errors.....they tell me to send error reports, that does no good.....i get them 24/7 too....basically im getting error messaages with lots of zero's / name files in them and my only options really are to terminate things (things being applications im trying to run).....this varies from aol instant messenger, to games, to internet browser, to word, to paint....anything....ive run ad-aware, spybot, mcaffee, ive checked my hijackthis logfile and deleted unwanted things.....ive run chkdsk on bootup, ive run defrag, ive run system restore idno how far back, ive run clean disk, and other stuff.....i think most of these problems have started once i downloaded the service pack 2 package from

I keep getting random crashes and I don't know how to go about diagnosing the problem.

The family computer is playing up and to the best of my knowledge the computer in question just simply suddenly stopped working as it should. I am unable to get the 'default' welcome screen upon start up and am getting the logon box where you type in a username and passworld. I know how to get rid of this, user accounts>enable welcome screen - but it will not solve the problem.This is just the start of the problems. I get a whole host of errors which popup one after another.
