i'd try using only one memory stick at a time, to see if this has been caused by a memory problem. what changed before this problem occurred?

Hi RickTheRock,

Your windows crashes at IRQL 28 timer routine which is the symptom of hardware error. Probably it faulty CPU or ram. I have 18 confirmed case of faling at IRQL 28. 6 is related to CPU and 6 is related to RAM. Run memtest to stress test the ram. If memtest reports the ram is faulty, ram is bad. However Memtest is not a perfect tool to test the memory as some faulty ram can pass memtest.

Suggestion
1. Check the temperature of the CPU and make sure that it is not overheat (ie temperature < 60C)
Make sure that the CPU fan works properly
2. Reseat the memory stick to another memory slot. Reseat video card as well.
3. Downclock the ram. Check to default setting if you video card is overclocked.
4. Clean the dust inside the computer case
5. Make sure that the ram is compatible to the motherboard
6. Check the bios setting about memory timing and make sure that it is on
For example : DIMM1 and DIMM2 do not have the same timing.
DIMM1: Corsair CMX512-3200C2 512 MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM (2.5-3-3-8 @ 200 MHz) (2.0-3-3-7 @ 166 MHz)
DIMM2: Corsair CMX512-3200C2 512 MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM (3.0-3-3-8 @ 200 MHz)
DIMM3: Corsair CMX512-3200C2 512 MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM (3.0-3-3-8 @ 200 MHz)
7. Make sure that your PSU have adequate power to drive all the hardware including USB devices

If it still crashes, diagnostic which memory stick is faulty
1. Take out one memory stick. If windows does not crash, the removed memory stick is faulty.
2. If it still crashes, probably it is faulty CPU.

IRQL 28 crashes due to faulty M/B

Hi Ricktherock,

Thanks for your private message. The culprit is the faulty motherboard. According to my record, there have 3 confirmed cases of M/B which cause IRQL 28 crashes with bugcheck 0A.


CPU 6 occurences
RAM 6 occurences
M/B 3 occurences
