help!!!!!!!!!!




i keep sufffering random rebooots but they are not really random cause they only do it when i am playing some sort of game.




I have replaced my motherboard, 2 sticks of RAM , processor, Vid Card. same problem no matter waht i have reformatted TWICE. i have attached the mini dump files

Have you tried to update your video drivers and just as importantly oyur mobob chipset drivers? Also a classic symptom of crashing when gaming is an under powered system. What PSU do you have?

Also post back with your PC specs. We need more info.

Cheers,
 
Hi Wild,

This is hardware problem. Probably it is overheat, faulty CPU or video card. Check the temperature of your AMD CPU. Unlike Intel CPU, AMD CPU does not have thermal protection.

ok i am unsure as to how to check my temp? i have a lcd readout on the front of the PC that reads somewhere between 28 and 30 degrees Celsius
i doubt it would be the vid card as this is a brand new card.
 
Yes it is a hardware failure but this can be caused by out dated drivers, which cause the OS to crash releasing a bug report which looks like a hardware failure (HWF). So is it a real HWF or a software HWF?

Have you updated your mobo chipset drivers and ensured you have enough Amps in PSU to run your rig? System specs will help.
 
AMD AThlon XP 3200
2.1 ghz 1.0 gig of ram
Radeon 9600 vid card
Soundblaster Live 24 bit audio
Win XP Pro Service Pack 2
160 GB Western Digital HD

This is most likely the case temperature (internally). Your CPU will be more in the range of 35C, you can see that in BIOS under PC health or dwnload software called Everest Here:

But once again I suggest to check your PSU and make sure it has at least 22A on the 12V output and 40A on the 5V output. Read this off the label on the side of your unit. (ie. Grey box where the power cord attaches).
Also update your motherboard chipset drivers, thios is very important, and your video card drivers form the manuf. websites. Run the above program to find the mobo specs and chipset drivers, probably nforce2 or 3.

Cheers,
