thanks..

I've once heard about such a problem. I think it is somehow related to your USB Drivers. Try uninstalling your USB drivers and reinstalling the most new version of them.

Please update. :wave:

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

What happens if you uninstall the blutooth adapter?

Do the crashes stop?

If so, it could either be a driver issue, or a hardware compatibility issue.

Regards Howard :wave: :wave:

i uninstalled it but the crashing still happens

Ok.

Go HERE and follow the instructions.

If that doesn`t help. Zip 5 or 6 minidumps together, and attach them here.

Regards Howard

erm.. wats a minidump?

When your computer automatically restarts due to a crash, or you receive a BSOD. Windows writes a minidump to the folder c:/windows/minidump

A minidump is a snapshot of what was happening at the time of the crash, and can be useful in diagnosing the problem.

Regards Howard

heres the minidumps

all 4 of your minidumps crash with a bugcheck of 8E.

2 crash at win32k.sys. This is your Windows Multi-User Win32 Driver.
1 crashes at Nv4_mini.sys. This is your video card driver.
1 crashes with memory corruption. Self explanatory.

0x0000008E: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

A kernel mode program generated an exception which the error handler didn’t catch. These are nearly always hardware compatibility issues (which sometimes means a driver issue or a need for a BIOS upgrade).

I believe you may have a ram problem.

Follow the instructions in the link I gave you earlier.

Regards Howard

hmm i had these ram for ages and it was fine all along.... i'll check my rams anyway

if my ram is corrupted, could it be fixed somehow? or would i hav to buy a new ones

thx.. my computer doesnt restart no more after cleaning the inside of my comp. but recently the random restarts are happening again.. i ran memtest but everything was fine... here are my minidumps

1 minidump crashes at d347bus.sys. daemon tools? Try uninstalling Daemon tools.

1 minidump crashes at nv4_mini.sys. Graphics card driver. Update your drivers.

1 minidum crashes at win32k.sys. Windows Multi-User Win32 Driver.

The bugchecks are 8E, and D1.

0x000000D1: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

The system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. The most typical cause is a bad device driver (one that uses improper addresses). It can also be caused by caused by faulty or mismatched RAM, or a damaged pagefile.

Regards Howard

do u think formatting my computer would fix these?

It wouldn`t hurt to try.

See how it goes. If you have further problems, don`t hesitate to post fresh minidumps.

Regards Howard

alright... i'll tell u how it goes

ok ive formated my computer.. the random restarts are still happening! here are the 2 latest minidumps

1 minidump crashes at watchdog.sys. This is a Windows watchdog file. I can`t find any info for this driver.

1 minidump crashes at nv4_disp.dll. Video card driver.

Both dumps have a bugcheck of 8E. they also reference Medieval_TW.exe. This the game your were playing at the time of the crashes.

Check your temperatures, and make sure your psu is putting out enough power for your system.

Regards Howard

i dont think its a heating problem, i got a fan blowing into it but it just restarted just then

here are some new minidumps

Maybe you`ve got a psu issue.

What psu do you have?

Regards Howard

err wats a psu?
