glockfan Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 Go Get MEMTEST that is your best bet. It is loaded on a floppy and will check your memory at startup. I used it to find a bad dimm a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kompressor Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 by the way dude the post that your posting..lol...ur IP is showing.......i would take that bar off cuz thats not such a good idea;) :rambo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomb Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 i just went through the manual for your board and it says that you can put a single stick of ram in any one of the 3 slots and it will fuction. give that a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaxoP Posted June 16, 2002 Author Share Posted June 16, 2002 i ran like 10 tests and it found no errors, so i gave up and stopped after the 10th :) atomb i did that but all 3 caused the beeping sound.. any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomb Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 hey you posted earlier that when your system does reboot, you get a BSOD for a second right. but it's not there long enough to read it right. if so pull up system properites, advanced tab, startup and recovery settings, then uncheck automaticlly reboot. the BSOD may have helpful info. but then again it may not. that may last idea.

VaxoP Posted June 16, 2002 Author Share Posted June 16, 2002 could these problems be caused due to my old hard drive? (its in 4 partitions) I checked of auto reboot and waiting for a crash.. temperature is at 51/40.. when i play warcraft, i can play for 2 mins MAX before i either get rebooted (dont see bscreen), or keyboard/mouse freeze or i get back to the desktop.. /edit just played for 2 mins, froze, but i got a helpful error.. int_overflow.. what could cause that?

VaxoP Posted June 16, 2002 Author Share Posted June 16, 2002 Got the blue screen, heres the info. A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Technical info: Stop: 0x000000D1 (0x000B20BC, 0x000000FF, 0x000000FF, 0x00004D7C) Beginning dump physical memory Physical memory Dump Complete. any ideas on what could be causing this?

atomb Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 looks as if your dealing with a driver problem to me, and according to microsoft technet. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/...md_stp_hwpg.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azazel- Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 Your system is overheating. I had the same problem a few years ago, on a K6III system. System would boot up, I could run it for awhile, play some games, then about half an hour later, it'd start beeping, it'd bluescreen, and lock up. About 3 days of that, and the system was hosed, cpu completely died. I'd suggest adding some active cooling, case fans, apply some thermal compound to your cpu under the heatsink, and make sure the system has lots of airflow around the case. I had my system in a girl's dormroom that was cluttered as hell, and I'm almost positive it was her sloppy ass that cost me a system. :right: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaxoP Posted June 25, 2002 Author Share Posted June 25, 2002 using cpucool.. my temperatures are the following: Temp1: 21.9 Temp2: 47.1 Temp3: 35.1 this was at last freeze... is my system overheating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaxoP Posted June 25, 2002 Author Share Posted June 25, 2002 ok i ran the memory test.. after 125,000 errors on a single test (the 20th one or something) i started to think it was my ram. once i realized the test would take hours i stopped it. after being quite happy with finding the problem, i began to test a single peice of ram and restarting.. guess what. since the computer was on for a long time, NO COMBINATION (either all 3 peices, 1 alone in all different slots) would cause the computer to start (continuous beeping was heard) i turned on my huge ass fan (the ones you keep in your living room that sits right in front of my computer to keep it cool) and my computer started again. OH MY GOD!! how the F UCK can the temperatures posted above be too high for the god damn computer to start? and why does it crash EVERY time i try to play a game?? I WANT TO PLAY A GAME WITH MY FRIEND WITHOUT CRASHING GOD DAMMITT!!!!!! arrghhh.. please can anyone help me - why the hell is this happening. ive tried removing all ram except one peice (rotated the 3 to see which would work - none would), i tried removing the power cords from one of my HDs, my cdrom, my other HD, but nooo that didnt work either. the beeping is still heard, and my computer wont start (and when it would, i know that id crash soon) what could be causing this? i highly doubt a reinstall of windows would help, because the problem is starting since i start my computer when no software is loaded.. please guys - im desparate.. /edit i also tried changing some bios settings (failsafe and optimized) and both resulted in the same fateful error...

Vlad Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 If you have your motherboard's memory settings set too aggressively, it can massive instability problems (for example, settings CAS3 RAM to CAS2, or trying to force PC100 memory to operate as PC133). If those are really your temps, then the problem is not going to be overheating. It could simply be a piece of faulty hardware - perhaps an ESD, or damaged hard drive. As for the error, that can be cause by a number of things; legacy hardware creating IRQ conflicts, "bad" drivers, a bad memory module, and finally an incorrect bios setup (IRQ/resource mapping). My money is on a bad memory module or bad memory timing settings. Try setting your memory to PC100, CAS3, and insuring that all your memory is of the same type (ie, all are PC133, CAS2). Also, you might want to reset your bios to "Factory defaults," which usually place your system in the "lowest" performance state and higher stability state.

VaxoP Posted June 25, 2002 Author Share Posted June 25, 2002 i tried factory defaults.. my ram is 2 100, 1 133.. but when i put in only one peice of ram at a time in all 3 slots and then tried 2 and then all 3 (in all combinations) it still wouldnt boot up unless i turned on my fan and let it cool for a sec.. why is this happening?

Deron Dantzler Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 i'm having the same exact problem that you are having. i didn't have the problem until i did these things, so i'm not sure which is the real problem: 01. i upgraded from 512 SDRAM to 1 GIG of DDR. 02. i replaced my AGP nVidia GeForce 2 - 32 MB Mx200 with a nVidia GeForce 4 - 64 MB Mx420. 03. i did a fresh install of Windows XP, AND installed XP SP1 version 1050. i can only assume that the XP SP1 is the problem. if you are having the problem and have installed sp1, maybe a later build will fix your problem. my machine freezes often and i have to cut it off and back on, and it often restarts itself. there doesn't seem to be any patterns to it, though i notice that when i started windows media player to play an mpg file it's done it twice (however, normally this doesn't cause it). i'm running a P4 1.4 gHZ and the temperature is at 41 C. my bet is SP1. do you have it installed????

VaxoP Posted June 28, 2002 Author Share Posted June 28, 2002 no, i dont. i dont think its the OS either, as this happens in win9x too with me problems occur when im watching a movie or playing a game or sometimes moving things on my older HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daoutlawz Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 for starters, to the people that are posting that amd is crap, or intel is crap yada yada yada, it doesnt help to someone that has a problem, i have nothing against amd or intel, i think they are both great processors, and i've had pIII 500, Duron 700@900, and now XP1800+........ the bottom line is that if u have the money and dont like loud computers, then go for the intel, otherwise go for amd........as for performance wise, u will not tell the difference, i could just tell a slight increase in performance from the duron i had to the 1800+ now........i could go on for ever..but back to the TOPIC :D :D u already know what the problem is...... inifinate loops = memory error...blah blah blah....... u have 4 possibilities here: motherboard memory socket error; (which means that the place u put the ram in is faulty, best idea for this is to get someone elses ram and put it in, it should work on any slot, try all of them, if it still dont work, try that same ram in the original persons computer and see if it works, if it doesnt, then its yer motherboard, and u jus fried yer friends ram :D (this problem has happend to me, thats y i tell u this) possible problem, voltage set to high, or jus faulty mobo) memory stick error;(most definate problem, like stated above, try someone elses ram, not yers) voltage set to high for memory;(yer voltage settings, either in bios or manually on motherboard are set to high, check it out in your manual, if there is a lower setting, put it to the lowest, and try it out) memory overheating;(yes this can happen too, often very rare, only happens if your overclocking the ram, this is yer last resort, i dont think this would b the case tho, u can test by putting yer fingures on the sticks as yer computer crashes) well i hope i helped you out :D :D , soz its so long :D , but im 90% sure that the problems and fixes i listed above will fix yer problem. btw, my current cpu xp1800+ runs from 48-58 degrees, my overclocked duron ran at 40-55 degrees celcius, so yer cpu is not the problem, usually the computer starts crashing when yer cpu is over 90 celcius...and it will crash straight away..

VaxoP Posted June 29, 2002 Author Share Posted June 29, 2002 do u have ICQ? what i dont understand is why the computer works fine in a cool area and when its cool.. once it gets hot it starts to mess up (48+C) are there some settings i dont know about that cause the computer to freeze up when temperature is above 48?
