AutoPatcher causing a restart...

[danananakroyd]

About 20% into the AutoPatcher install, my system restarts itself. Is this a hardware thing?

[akaladis Veteran]

i think it's prolly a BSOD... hardware failure... :(

[danananakroyd]

How do i found out what's causing it?

[akaladis Veteran]

well... it probably RAM... during the installation procedure, RAM gets stressed a lot, and sometimes, may fail... I have seen a lot of systems failing during the installation... It's a sign of instability...

Check your error logs, see if anything is listed. Also make sure your system isn't set to reboot with BSOD's... so you can see it next time. (Y)

usually BSODs are a result of bad drivers or bad hardware... since drivers have nothing to do with the installation procedure, its most likely bad hardware

You'd be surprised the number of Hardware related issues that have been blamed on the AP before anyone realizes it was bad RAM or such. :laugh:

in most of the cases its RAM... when system reboots without reason, run a RAM stresser :)

also if you overclock reuce the overclock auto patcher works fine on my system if i reduce the overclock to install otherwise crashes bsod after 20%

Yes, because of the strain, it could cause OC'd systems to BSOD... of course, OS installs are the same way. :)

Thanks for the replies guys, i'll try taking one stick of RAM out and see how it goes.

Let us know. (Y)

[danananakroyd]

So i tried each stick of RAM and neither worked. I had had some previous problems with my sound card and games crashing, so i took out my Audigy and i'm now on onboard sound. I still get the crashes, and i still get games crashing. Poop.

:laugh: Good ol' paint. Well, maybe that'll help! :happy:

[akaladis Veteran]

then at least we can figure out whats causing the BSOD

[danananakroyd]

The BSOD is different each time. Of the 3 times i tried, i got an error with atapi.sys, and error with ntfs.sys and another which i noted the number. So i guess i'm proper ****** :pinch:
