Don't forget sometimes there are dead RAM slots on the mobo...

Well Done on a brilliant thread, helped me out no end however When I installed my New INTERNAL HDD and reinstalled the OS, when I plug in the Ethernet Cable or Wireless Dongle my PC Keeps running but screen goes blank and therefore will not let me onto the Internet. Hey Ho methinks its a new PC that I need.
Many Thanks for the info though I found it extremely useful

Ive been getting random BSOD for about 4 months and no matter what I do I cant solve this problem. Ive even gone so far as to format the hard drive and do a clean install. Within two days the BSOD started popping up and it usually does it when the system is idle. I've looked at all the forums including this one and called all my tech savvy computer friends and still have nothing to show for it. These are all the dump files I have. These have all happened within a five day period. Please HELP me. I know my spelling sucks.

All your minidumps point to ntoskrnl.exe, which is the Microsoft Boot Kernel. Try a System Restore or repairing Windows and see if it works. Else, your MBR is corrupt and you'll need to write a new one to the disk. IMO, backup the data to an external HDD and format the drive. Then install Windows again. But only do this if a System Restore or a Repair doesn't work.

I've already done all that. This install isn't even a week old yet and im getting the same errors as before i re-installed windows.

Then I'm afraid either your RAM is bad, or your HDD is corrupt. Chances are that it'd most likely be the RAM. If you have two sticks, run the PC on one of them only and see if there are any BSODs. The one that doesn't give any is the good one, although there are chances both have gone bad. If you want to check for it, download memtest86 (Google for it). It'll download as an ISO, which you can burn on an empty CD and boot your PC with. Let it run overnight on each RAM stick and if you get even 1 error, that RAM stick is bad.

I've got a problem that is pretty annoying...Whenever I try to play one pretty old game called FarCry, when its just started to load a map, the computer quits the farcry, and shuts down...so, what should I do ?

I was given a PC to repair.A P4 with 256k RAM,graphics card,40GB Maxtor HDD.When turned on there was no picture on the monitor,so I gathered it was the hard drive.So I removed it and ran it on a HP Vectra,but it didn't run past the F2 prompt.
So I removed the graphics card,ram,HDD to another PC,an Asus V7X8? and got a blue screen of death.So after removing and reinstalling all the hardware,ram etc I still got no joy.After more attempts I rebooted it and inserted a CD of Windows XP Pro essential and it began to go through the install process.Before doing this though,I went into the Bios and changed the HDD to auto (detect) from NONE,as the HDD wasn't shoowing at POST,or even installed,then made the CD Rom the first boot.
As this PC at the POST had detected the CDRW and DVD ROM Combo.Could this be the problem,that it has two similar hadrware devices? This hardware was alread installed and detected on the PC. But as it went to copy the files,it said 1 was not found so I rebooted it to try again...This time it again had no picture on the monitor,and beeped insessantly. approx 8 short? continual beeps.After a while,attempting to fix it I turned it off.When I turned it back on 10mins later it seemed ok.So I tried to install an O/S,it didn't boot,then I rebooted the PC and it began beeping again...Turned it off.Left it.Rebboted.Beeped continually again,so I turned it off.

So,what's the problem?

The power supply,the graphics card,the HDD,or the monitor? Could a virus on the PC though formatted,have killed it?

Why do some peoples PCs run,then 5 minutes later,keep doing this? Is it a virus has killed the Master Boot record,or something else?I know 2 people who's PCs are like this...

Why do some peoples PCs run for a while,then just shut down 5mins-20mins later,for no reason at all? Is it a virus in the Master boot record,and killed the motherboard or...making the motherboard useless?

my situation is not so usual..

i have this new set of ram,, corsair to be exact..

then i have run mem test.. it shows few errors..

but.. can a brand new ram can make such..

??

next time i received an error ill post it

im only new to this..

and my ccleaner deletes my dumps..

thanks..

hope to communicate with you soon
