I built my first pc from scratch the other day and purchased all my parts from http://www.overclockers.co.uk ...

Everything is fine apart from the fact that once in a while quite randomly the pc will shut and reboot :blink:

I was wondering if this is a generic problem or weather I need to post specs etc.

Thanks

moved to hardware

could be the power supply.what brand and wattage is your power supply?i would try a different power supply and see if it continues reboots.maybe your current psu isnt providing enough power to the system.what are the specs of your computer?it could be the rail strength.

Check the System log in the Event Viewer and look for "Save Dump" entries, if those exist, you are experiencing BSOD's

To set Windows to not reboot, go into System Properties > Advanced > Startup and recovery settings > uncheck Automatically Restart; that way if it does crash, most of the time a certain file is displayed as the culprit.

no BSOD, just shuts and reboots itself :no:

the psu came with the Chieftec Dragon DA-01BD Full Tower... ( http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Onl..._Cases_128.html )

Athlon XP 1700+ @ 2000

Abit NFS-7

120WD 8mb cache

Philips CD-RW

3 x 80mm fans

radeon 9100

XP Pro SP1

Yea I have constant problems with my rig. I think I have a faulty mobo. I get BSOD's like crazy and random reboots. And I am not able to play a game reason being, after about 5 mins I get a Don't Send Error.

But it's an error with the game. (i.e. for Medal of Honor, error would be in... moh.exe)

I hate it, but I'll eventually trade in my mobo hopefully thats the problem.

But I do have a 300w Power Supply, so that could be a problem, oh lord I don't know, but I do have BIG problems and I can't stand them.

ANY Suggestions??

Alrighty, with a bugcheck code of 0x000000d1, and a search with google found me this:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...md_stp_ottj.asp

It says the cause is faulty drivers. Until it crashes again, and a specific dll or file is named, not sure what else you can do ;)

Edit: Actually, since you mentioned specific memory addresses, go into Device Manager > View > Resources by Type > Expand Memory > find a component that contains 0xffbdf008, and or 0xf7f33676 in it's range. This might give you the general idea what driver is crashing.

I have tried every BIOS version that Asus came out with for my board.

Anyone ever heard of an errors within the .exe file

Like for Half-Life.

I get an error in "hl.exe".

I can't stand it anymore!! I want the kind of computer I paid for, not this horribly error-full one.

    • Ok will give that a shot soon as wake up in morning.     Hopefully does restore it working right  
    • Try doing a reset/repair on the Windows store: To reset the Microsoft Store on Windows 11, press the Windows key + I to open Settings, go to Apps & features, find Microsoft Store, click on it, select Advanced options, and then click the Reset button. This will clear the cache and restore the app to its default state, which can help resolve issues.
    • Microsoft's new Exchange Message Trace: What admins need to know before September by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced the general availability of the new Message Trace in the Exchange admin center (EAC) in Exchange Online for its worldwide (WW) customers. The Redmond giant said that it’ll begin rolling it out in mid-June and complete the rollout in July. Message Trace in the Exchange Admin Center for Exchange Online is a tool that lets admins trace which path emails took as they traveled through the Microsoft 365 organization. It lets admins see if emails were received, rejected, or deferred. It is helpful for troubleshooting mail flow issues and validating policy changes. To get started with the new Message Trace, admins can access it by going to the Exchange admin center > Mail flow > Message Trace. While the Windows-maker has received positive feedback during the Public Preview, you can still provide your thoughts through Exchange admin center > Give Feedback. In addition, Microsoft will continue to maintain the old Message Trace user experience in Exchange admin center and cmdlets for several months to ease the transition, however, they will be deprecated for WW customers starting from September 1. The Reporting Webservice support for Message Trace data will also begin deprecating on this date. A side note to mention here is that this timeline only applies to the WW environment and doesn’t affect GCC, GCC-High, DOD, or other sovereign clouds. More information about the switch over for those will be provided in the second half of the year. Who it affects, and how These changes need to be noted by Exchange Online administrators and IT professionals as those are the people who will be directly affected. Specifically, it will affect anyone managing mail flow and troubleshooting email delivery in Exchange Online. Those who are affected will have to get switched over to the new Message Trace before Microsoft starts deprecating features in several months time. Admins will want to act promptly to avoid any unforeseen issues that could arise. Another detail that admins should be aware of is that scripts that rely on the older “Get-MessageTrace” or “Get-MessageTraceDetail” cmdlets will break on September 1. To address this, admins will need to update their scripts to use the new “Get-MessageTraceV2” and the “Get-MessageTraceDetailV2” cmdlets. Finally, any admins out there using the Reporting Webservice for Message Trace data will also need to make a change. They will need to shift to the new Message Trace PowerShell cmdlets. Why it’s happening Microsoft has been working on a new Message Trace experience, incorporating feedback from the Public Preview phase, to improve its design and performance. The switch gives Microsoft the opportunity to standardize and modernize admin interfaces and the underlying technologies. What to watch for While September 1 may seem like a long way away, fixing any issues, such as scripts due to deprecations, could take some time. Any admins managing the affected items need to ensure they deal with affected components in a timely manner. In terms of documentation, Microsoft has so far only released the Public Preview document which highlights the changes between the old and new versions. Microsoft says that it will publish cmdlet documentation for the new Message Trace cmdlets by the time of the general availability, so admins should look out for that.
