PC rebooting

[Nos402]

We have a mdia PC in the livin room fro watching Netflix Instant Watch and other downloaded files. Lately it just randomly reboots. I changed video cards, changed hard drives, completely reformatted-re-installed XP Pro, made sure my drivers were updated, etc. So I'm basically down to thinkin it's RAM, Mobo, or processor. I wondered if anyone here could get any clues from these:

Event log entry:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x1000000a (0xfffffffc, 0x000000ff, 0x00000000, 0x804db973). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini021109-02.dmp.

Dump is attached.

I get the file "Mini021109-02.dmp " is corrupt cannot read
You will need to remove the attachment Edit -> Advanced Edit -> Manage Attachments -> Remove the attachment -> Save

Then re-reply and add the Minidump again. Something went wrong with this one

Thanks, let's tr again!

Because of your corrupt file
I had to locate someone's (anyone's) Minidump, then download it then test to see it wasn't me.

It wasn't !

Just delete that Minidump from C:\Windows\Minidump folder
And wait for another (if ever)

By the way, in most cases these things are just related to drivers requiring updating, have a look h e r e at updating them

Otherwise :wave:

Here's a previous one that I was able to open.

BugCheck C2, {7, cd4, 0, 88860c04}
Probably caused by : sisnic.sys
PROCESS_NAME: wmplayer.exe

Looks like your Network Adapter required updating

Bummer. As far as I know I've updated it to the latest drivers.

By the way, ethernet is preferred (ie not USB)
But not enough info to know exactly, at this point (ie you may already have ethernet connection)

 

[Nos402]

I'm using an ethernet port not USB. Made sure drivers were the latest. Got two more dumps over night (attached)

Basically AVG8 AntiVirus

Here's what I'd suggest
Uninstall your AVG Antivirus
Then run the removal tool
Here is the 32Bit version (most users): http://www.avg.com/filedir/util/avg_arm_sup_____.dir/avgremover.exe
Here is the 64Bit version: http://www.avg.com/filedir/util/avg_arv_sup_____.dir/avgremoverx64.exe

Run CCleaner

Install Avira free AntiVirus

Problem Solved :grinthumb

Replaced AVG with Avira. ot another crash today with this log.

I posted some info here on that: https://www.techspot.com/vb/showthread.php?p=584043#post584043

Basically it's now your Firewall or conflicting Windows Firewall issue
