While gaming on COD4 or COD5, my computer will suddenly just auto-reboot OR it will give me a BSOD. I checked event viewer and it gave me the following:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: System Error
Event Category: (102)
Event ID: 1003
Date: 11/20/2008
Time: 1:07:00 PM
User: N/A
Computer: OWNER-7486CD808
Description:
Error code 1000000a, parameter1 00000000, parameter2 000000ff, parameter3 00000000, parameter4 806e4ea0.

0050: 34 65 61 30 4ea0

All drivers are up to date on the system. I am running WinXP, Asus M3A mobo, ATI 3870, 4 GB RAM, AMD 6400+. Case is antec 900.

I did a temperature check on the graphics card and it was fine, clocking in around 55 degrees, 60 max.

Any ideas?
 
If you look in C:\WINDOWS\minidump there should be one or more minidump files in there. Attach 3-4 of the most recent ones on your next reply in this thread and we will be more than happy to look them over for you.
 
You need a debugging program to be able to view the contents of the .dmp files. If you will attach 3-4 of them to your next post here (scroll down a bit below the box where you type your reply and click manage attachments) then upload 3-4 of the latest ones and we will look them over for you and give you possible causes and solutions.

It would be best if you would do as I previously stated and upload the mindump files. This would allow us to analyze them with stack traces and other utilities with the debugging program.

You can find your minidumps in the following directory. C:\windows\minidump. Minidump files have a .dmp extension.

In order to post your minidumps, please do the following.

start your new posting at TechSpot by clicking on New Thread
(or use Post Reply in an existing thread).

Scroll down until you see a button Manage Attachments. Click on that and a popup-window opens.
Click on the Browse button, find the minidump files you wish to attach on your PC and doubleclick on it.

Now click on the Upload button in the popup. When done, click on the Close this window button.
Finish your message-text, then click on Submit Message.

Please note: You can attach more than one file to a post, just repeat the steps above for each file you want to attach.
 
All of your minidumps are:
BUGCHECK_STR: 0xA
Probably caused by : hardware ( AmdK8+3552 )


Cause
This bug check is issued if paged memory (or invalid memory) is accessed when the IRQL is too high.

The error that generates this bug check usually occurs after the installation of a faulty device driver, system service, or BIOS.

Possible solution
Uninstall the CPU driver (AmdK8.sys) via add/remove programs and see how you go. It's only needed for cool 'n' quiet. You can always reinstall it later if it isn't the problem.

Also check in your bios and if there disable the "cool n quiet" feature

after doing the above stated, please post back and let us know if the issue is resolved or not.
 
you disabled it that's good, but did you uninstall it (the amd cpu driver) from the add/remove programs list?
 
doing a bit of research, will post back shortly, hopefully with more options for you. Just hang in there and we will get this taken care of.
 
Seem yo me that U have an overheating issue. If U r sure the GPU temp is OK, then cehck the CPU or even the HDD temp to see if they are overheating
 
Start your computer in safe mode then do an advanced search (looking in system files and folders) for amdk8.sys Or manually find the file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers If you find it..rename it amdk8.old.sys then restart your computer in normal mode and run the game(s) that are giving you problems and see if it blue screens on you.

There are quite a few posts out there about amdk8.sys causing blue screens with games and applications. Please post back and let us know if that resolved your issue
 
Alright so far so good after renaming the file, I will keep you posted to see if the problem has been fully fixed.
 
good to hear, I hope the issue has been corrected. Don't want to speak prematurely, but I was fairly sure the problem was in the amdk8.sys file. Let's hope I am correct!!!
