My pc-
Asus P4V533 Mx
2 Ghz Celeron
256 mb DDR SDRAM
MSI GeForce 4 Mx440 AGP8x
the problem - it started after i installed the graphics card into the pc. the pc would reboot during the games i played. soon, my pc would continuously reboot at anytime without warning. it became so bad that i couldnt even start windows, the pc would reboot during the load screen.
i was told that a format and reinstall would help. it did, i could use the pc for most normal applications, but not the games. every time i ran the game (fifa manager 06) the pc would reboot.
at first i thought it was a driver issue, but the game (fifa manager 06)runs fine in windows 98. other graphics hungry games run fine in the xp installation, so i dont think its anything to do with the drivers.
After reading the sticky on this forum by donNagual, ive narrowed it down to 2 possible problems.
1)i checked the event manager tool and it told me that every time the pc rebooted, it was due to an error in "winmgmt". Event id= 28.
"WinMgmt could not initialize the core parts. This could be due to a badly installed version of WinMgmt, WinMgmt repository upgrade failure, insufficient disk space or insufficient memory."
this is the exact description. i followed the advice given by the microsoft website. they suggested that i use system restore to go back to a previous setting, but id just reinstalled windows after a format, so thats out of the question.
the next option they suggested was to repair my installation of windows, i did that but the problem persists.
www.eventid.net, gave me a solution, fiddling with the registry and stuff, that didnt work either.
can any one here suggest another method to repair this?
2) the only other fault i see is the power unit. i dont know what the output is in my pc, but thats the only other explanation that remains.
i downloaded and installed speedfan, according to that the voltages in the 12V and 5V rails were within the 5-6% deviation. but in the 3.3V rail, the reading i got was closer to 3V than 3.1, a deviation of around 8%.
is this a problem? and is there any way i can solve it at home without taking it to an expert or something?
