[x] I hate my pc. Restarts by itself. [x]

[l33thunt3r]

Just about 20 minutes ago, a strange blue screen with a bunch of numbers and letters popped up for maybe .5 seconds, and restarted my pc. It did this for about 10 times, until I finally logged on Windows. Now I need a way to get rid of it, in-case it comes back.

[coltm4carbine]

are you talking about the BSoD? (sounds like it)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

what are the letters and numbers?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

for example, if it's the BSoD, Stop 0x00000050 or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA indicates it's requested data was not in memory. The system generates an exception error when using a reference to an invalid system memory address. Defective memory (including main memory, L2 RAM cache, video RAM) or incompatible software (including remote control and antivirus software) might cause Stop 0x50 messages.

 

 

 

etc...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

can you boot into safemode?

[l33thunt3r]

Nope, I couldent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Safe Mode)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty sure it was that.

[coltm4carbine]

kk,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the next time it comes up then copy the words and numbers- then some people might be able to figure out what is wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I only know the most common ones. (not all but some).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

might as well do an av scan when you can (ie now). see if it finds anything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

bit wierd that safemode don't work.

[l33thunt3r]

the screen showed for like.. .5 seconds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seems to be fine now.

[coltm4carbine]

wierder...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this is basically what a BSoD is meant to be:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When Windows detects a problem from which it cannot recover, it displays Stop messages. These are text-mode error messages that report information about the condition.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stop messages, sometimes referred to as blue screens (BSoD), contain specific information that can help you diagnose and possibly resolve the problem detected by the Windows kernel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ok well you might as well do some virus-scans. doubt it but might be a virus though...

[coltm4carbine]

oops double posted. sorry.

I bought new RAM, seems to be fine. Now, I still lag though.

if you have 2k/XP... make sure you have it do a system dump.. that might help as well

Windows XP doesn't do this by default, it just restarts the computer if Windows encounter's an error it cannot recover from. To tell Windows to dump the memory (and display information in a blue screen) you need to follow these steps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Right click your My Computer icon on your desktop (or in your Start Menu) and select Properties from the dropdown menu. On the window that opens select the Advanced tab then click the Settings button under Startup and Recovery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then untick the Automatically restart checkbox and select Complete memory dump from the button dropdown menu. This is shown in the image below. Click Ok then restart your computer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can then report to us information found in the blue screen Stop error message. Any information relating to files (might be a .dll or [Caution: ExecutableFile] file) would be helpful in finding out what the cause is.

Overheating CPU maybe? Mine restarts when the temp gets too high, Maybe faulty PSU? When it restarts go into the BIOS and go to pc health and check the system temp and CPU temp, Maybe its all dusty between the processor and the heatsink? If so buy a can of compressed air and blow it out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DONT USE VACUUM CLEANER!!!
