Hi first post here. Computer is dying and I have been in distress the past few days. My computer randomly restarted the other day after mozilla froze up. Since then I have not been able to log back onto windows because my computer is stuck in a restarting loop. I've seen this topic on these forums before, but I was hoping for some fresh answers!
After receiving the error IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, I checked it out with another computer and found it could be a temperature problem or lose RAM. My RAM is sturdy but when checking BIOS I my CPU is running at 100 F and my system temp. is 91 F. Is this high enough to cause these constant restarts? I checked all my fans and made sure all the connections were ok. I have two side fans which run and my power source fan is also running. This is why I am confused!! A bit ago when attempting repair again, I got a different error, this time I got PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGE_AREA . Oh wow...I just tried again and I got a new error, PFN_LIST_CORRUPT. What is going on!? Ok I tried one last time and I received the IRQL error again. I'm thinking this is more than a temperature problem. Please Help!
P.S. - My PC is almost 5 years old, so could old age be an issue here?
Specs are always helpful:
P4 2.0
768 DDR RAM
XP Pro
