Randoms Crashes.

[Stejosh]

Ok i keep having problems with Random crashes.

I have no idea what it is but ive tryed everything i can think of.

maybe these will help?






Im tested the Ram using memtest nothing wrong there:\

i dont know if this is connected but Windows media player seems to lag sometimes :\ makes my Cpu usage 100%. ive uninstalled it and it still crashes so i dunno

any ideas throw them at me if u need anymore info just ask

and hello everyone just signed up

EDIT : should this be in device and drivers? if so can a mod please move it

Anyone?

Patience is a virtue....
If you are confident about the RAM, it may be heat related.

My Mb is around 39 and my Cpu is around 37 with normal useage.

Thats using Speedfan and coretemp.

i dont think its ram Memtest cameback reporting nothing after i did its test which took a good couple of hours lol
and thanks for replying

Temps look cool - so given the errors it might be related to the network.
W32time is a routine written for W2000 to synchonise time with an authoritative time server. Go to services and disable it to see if this helps.

i cant seem to find it in services. any other ideas?

U wouldnt belive how much ive spent to try sort this out.

New power leads, a Surge protector and virus software:\ lol

Which windows are you running? Just to be sure.

 

[AlbertLionheart]

If it is XP, go to control panel > admin tools > services and scroll down to the end of the listl. Select Windows time and double click; set startup as disabled and reboot. If it is not the problem, you should restore it the same way.
As a matter of interest, does your system clock keep good time?

 

[Stejosh]

kk i got it ill leave my comp running tonite to see how it goes.

Yeah it keeps the time well.

I just dont know what to do if that doesnt work.

should i try formatting and reinstalling windows?

if that doesnt work any ideas?

Post some minidump files, look in c:\windows\minidump. You can attach 5 at a time in dmp file format.

There you go

What do these show and what would you use to open them?

 

[peterdiva]

All the crashes are caused by Sacm2A.sys, which is a USB modem driver. See if there's an update available. You need Windows Debugging Tools to open them.

i reinstalled it and it was fine after being on all nite as far as i could tell.

BUT its just rebooted now. would u be able to take a look at my minidump file please?

thanks

[peterdiva]

Yeah, it's the same. What's the make and model of the modem. I'll see if I can find an update.

Hi did u install any new hardware like NIC card etc.... - may be you installed driver is not ok and in your system failure option command is to restart the pc - remove the hardware and reinstall the driver - or if it working perfect go right click on my computer icon select properties and go to advance tab you can see system failure restart is checked - unchecked it

W32time error is usually a problem with either the port is not opening on the firewall, the time source not being available (unlikely), network congestion, or an improperly configured NTP source. So can you tell me this pc is a part of any LAN network or modem connectivity

Hey thanks again for helping me on this

its a Scientific Atlanta a cisco company 2100. it MAY be my virgin media drivers for the modem. i got them on a disk that came with it. If it comes to it ill have to find somewhere that sells a 1m ethernet cable then i wont have that problem right? id just uninstall the USB driver for the modem and run it with the ethernet cable?

Its not part of any LAN network. its modemed up tho

ive unchecked it cheers for that.


Thanks for helping me u 2. its a pain when things dont work the way they are ment to.

From what I can find out you have the latest driver. The Ethernet option is the best bet. It won't cost you much either.
