Random reboots (mostly w/ big apps)

[Sab3r]

hello

Well the problem is that the comp just reboots when playing a big app/game.
Like World of Warcaft or when running other games although it happens allot
more when I'm playing WoW.

Note: i had the BIOS reset once and after that I put in 512mb ram and this all
started to occour, so i think its the ram thats interfiering with the other one.

I had the famous Blue screen of death a couple of times...
It said something like this:

1st one: BAD_POOL_CALLER

and then the code: 0x000000c2 (0x00000007, 0x00000cd4, 0xA0A28559, 0x85c73350)

the 2nd one: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

the code: 0x0000000A (0x00000000, 0x0000001c, 0x00000001, 0x804e1c51)

Now for me thats chinese so I don't know what this all means.

for the specs i will need some kind of program that can give me the details about
my comp cause i don't know the exact specs of my comp

I also have some other annoying little problems that started to occour when I
resetted the BIOS.
Prog called Sandra told me to update my BIOS but i didn't really know how...

thanks anyway

oke I have searched for this problem on microsoft.com and this is what if found.

microsoft result

this is only the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL problem

I found out that this is a memory problem because the BAD_POOL_CALLER also has
to do with the kernel-mode process when it tries to acces one of the ram modules.

I suspected this because the problems only occourd when I put in the new ram module.

I have two channels, a single and a dual channel, i tried to see if the ram module worked
in the dual channel but it didn't.

What can i do to make the ram module work properly.

Note: I don't know the specs of the ram modules so again i will need a program that gives me the details.

Download and run the free Everest programme it wiil give you lots of info about your system.

Also download and run Memtes86+ from www.memtest.org

Let it run for at least seven passes.

If you don`t have a floppy drive then there is an iso version that you can burn to cd and boot from that.

Also look HERE for an explanation of Windows stop messages.
