Random loss of internet and PC respons

[Belnick]

Hi,

So problem seemed to be resolved. Ran 'ok' for 2 days. Then problem popped up again.

What appeared in Event Viewer when problem reappeared?

Hi, thx for answering

I ofc forgot to check there again
I did now and had lots of weird errors and 2 critical that happened the 21st and today
does this make sense to you ?

Too many errors for me... you will need to learn to use Event Viewer... http://www.howtogeek.com/school/using-windows-admin-tools-like-a-pro/lesson3/

I pay most attention to 'critical' - which appears in your case to be only crashes (like your crash running Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen)
Then I look for linked errors which you have for 'Service Control Manager' and try to find the first in the chain - then focus on fixing that.
I usually check each error that seems important by looking at how many have occurred.
Then I research - and often find that many are 'unimportant' errors which may be 'disregarded' (why Windows reports them as 'errors' is confusing to me).
If I have a lot of different errors then I start to focus on hardware - like a failing HDD or dust/heat issues or a failing PSU. (in your case "controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort1. ")

If you can narrow the focus, I would be glad to take a look.

What kind of information do you need?
I have a hard time reading in my current condition as I just seem to read same line over and over or just go to sleep....
dragon dogma crashed because I went in with a memory editor and tried to inject a value in the wrong place

"controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort1. ") is that what you want more information about ?

never had a psu fail on me so I dont know how they would act, but I have used corsair for my own builds and there is no problem when I press the pc in like 3dmark

I have removed all harddrives and the error still occurred

edit:
, took me 13min to write that....
my focus is "#¤"# up right now, everything takes time

ERROR #1 "dragon dogma crashed because I went in with a memory editor and tried to inject a value in the wrong place" - PROBLEM RESOLVED (do not edit memory in the wrong place and it won't crash)

ERROR #2 atapi 11 None The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort1. You have a bunch of these errors. You removed all HDD. You 'uninstalled' in Device Manager? Has this error reappeared since then? If it has, please provide the new error message from Event Viewer. If not, install one drive at a time until the error reappears. Then provide the new error message from Event Viewer

ERROR #3 Chain of errors looks like it starts with

Otherwise, too many errors for me... you will need to learn to use Event Viewer on your own to reduce the clutter... http://www.howtogeek.com/school/using-windows-admin-tools-like-a-pro/lesson3/

Keep notes on each error you are tracking.

Check Event Viewer right after a problem occurs.

Im sorry I have not answered this, I have had problem, and little time and just felt a reluctance to continue with this as I know it is too much for me right now.
hard to explain

I say thx again and I will update if I start to fix this problem only I have

No problem. Perhaps put a post-it on the tower so you can easily find the url. You can come back to this whenever you feel up to it. All the best.

So I decided to be a sheep and follow the flock and upgraded the free windows 10 thingy, been two days and not a problem, could it be there were something wrong in the registry or something?
I had that same win7 for years and did several things in regedit

I've been very happy with W10. It's best to keep out of the registry but if you haven't heard of CCleaner (freeware) it's a safe way of tidying things up. It has a registry cleaner utility included which you can rely upon and will not screw things up. There's sure to be a download link from Techspot.
