me again

Long time ago, my computer was restarting, showing red window messages (memory could not be written), and stuff like that...

i uploaded sOME minidumps, and one member told me that i have bad ram memory...

i bought new ram, and ever since my computer is working without any problems...

NOW, MY BEST FRIEND HAS A PROBLEM... HIS COMPUTER KEEPS RESTARTING, WINDOW BOOTING IS LASTING TOO LONG (ABOUT 3 OR 4 MINUTES) WITH FRESH INSTALLED WINDOWS THAT HAS ONLY DRIVERS INSTALLED, AND NOTHING ELSE THAT COULD SLOW HIM DOWN... HE IS NOT INFECTED WITH ANY VIRUS...

I TESTED HIS RAM WITH MEMTEST PROGRAM, AND PROGRAM DIDN'T FIND ANY ERRORS...

HE HAS:

256 MB RAM (ADIAS DDR) 400 MHZ

INTEL CELERON 2000 MHZ

ATA MAXTOR 80 GB

NVIDIA G-FORCE 4 MX 440 64 MB

SOME GIGABYTE MOTHER BOARD...

ANYWAY, HERE ARE SOME MINIDUMPS...

PLEASE ANALYSE THEM, AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT, WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIS COMPUTER...

:cool: :approve: ;) :giddy:


sorry 'bout my english
 
Hi,

The culprit is ALCXSENS.SYS (sound card driver). Update the sound card driver.

I'm a newbie

Having computer reboot itself when I try to restore a zipped file that is larger than one floppy. I insert first disk as requested, insert last disk as requested, and then start disk one..computer reboots...it will load if the zipped file is one disk or less. I have attached a zip file of my dmp files. Any info is appreciated greatly.
 
Hi all, I suppose I'll chime in with my experience here. Many months ago I was receiving the same error at random (BAD_POOL_HEADER). It would occur at almost any time interval, sometimes hours, sometimes many days. I changed the recommended Windows settings to no avail. It was only until I moved my memory from slot 1 to slot 2 did this error completely disappear.

Now, for my question. Recently I purchased 2x512mb of DDR400 SDRAM. It arrived today and I popped it into my remaining 2 memory slots (I have 3). Well, my computer booted up and immediately threw a BAD_POOL_HEADER in my face. Remembering my earlier problem, I took out the stick of memory in the bad slot, and sure enough, the computer was fine. I did a ton of swapping back and forth to make sure it was definitely not a specific stick.

My question is, can a bad memory SLOT cause the errors we are receiving? I'm banking on the answer to this being "yes" as I've just returned the 2x512 sticks for a single 1GB, and I'm going to avoid that bad slot like the plague.

Thanks!

mine keeps crashing as well... every 5 minutes! I read about so many things that would help. Someone told me to fix my Power Scheme and set it to always on... Someone else told me that my power supply is dying and i have to change it. Also that it might be one of my harddrives, its too powerful for my pc. Maybe my fans arent cooling the computer enough and it overheats... Or that i might have viruses, even though i scanned about 10 different virus scanners on it.

I dont know where to start anymore!

SfCtlCom.exe is Trend Micro Pro 16.05 1039 Engine 8.500 recent updates and scans all done.
SUMMARY
Memory dumps usually freeze the PC Digital interface screen and no further IO is accepted, PC requires manual hard reset. Upon bootup, Trend micro creates a recovery image, then a normal reboot is done to resolve conflict.
ATI debug - recent ATI driver install and Catalyst sw. However 2 ATI icons appear on program , one is Catalyst control center, operates fine.

Microsoft Bootup diag not working due to IO error upon bootup of floopy and CD.

my computer keeps crashing

Hi, i have a latitude d 800 and ive had it for about 3 years now. when it came to me it was supposed to be xp but it was 2000. i started playing it on 2000 then realized it came with a xp cd. ever since i changed it it takes 40 minutes to start up. that is my first problem. now a couple months ago i signed up for WoW and started playing it. my laptop came with a measly 200 um memory so i bumped it up to 1gb. when i got the fisrt card it was pc 3200 rather than what is was supposed to have (pc2100) it worked at first but then my screen would disorent and my computer wouold have to be manually resatarted and that takes 40 mins so it sucks. anyways i bought a pc2100 and returned the pc3200, and now it still does the same thing. i know it not becuse of the game because it will do it sumtimes when it starts up. can sumone plz help me out. i cant stand it anymore!
 
I highly recommend starting a new thread for each of your problems instead of piling on in this single thread.

If members try to answer multiple problems in a single thread, it will soon be too confusing to follow.
 
Help!

I've been having an issue with my computer over the last month where it keeps re-starting itself automatically.

While I have installed new software, my hardware remains the same as it has been for over a year.

I think it might be over-heating but I'm not sure how I can confirm this before I have to take it to the professionals to check it out.

I'm running Windows XP Home, Service Pack 2 - with around 1GB of RAM and two hard-drives: 120GB and 300GB - the 300GB drive is external.

My computer tends to last between 20 minutes and three hours before it reboots itself. I've attempted to turn off the automatic restart and show the blue screen, but for some reason, the blue screen does not appear, so I'm afraid I can't provide any error messages.

Can anyone help?
 
You can look at your temps by using Speedfan - http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

But as well as Overheating, faulty RAM and a damaged HDD can be know to cause random restarting. You say your computer lasts between 20 mins to 3 hours you maybe right on it being a overheating issue.
 
Help me please
