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

I think thats about right (Y)

yes they do exist :( ...

i clicked properties on some of them and they appear to be the same problem but a diferent number which i have highlighteded in thw quote below :)

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.? The bugcheck was: 0x000000d1 0xffbdf008>, 0x00000002, 0x00000000,0xf7f33676>). A dump was saved in:C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini123102-02.dmp>.

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.

    • Some AMD Ryzen users can get free Windows performance boost with this simple system tweak by Sayan Sen AMD understands that there is a lot of demand for its X3D processors and for good reason too, since they offer some of the best gaming experiences. As such, the company plans to launch a new 6-core Ryzen 5 9600X3D for those who may not want to spend top dollar on a 9800X3D. What makes X3D special is the densely packed last level cache (LLC) wherein the L3 (level 3) cache is 3D die-stacked such that there is a whole lot of it that the cores can access on demand all within the smallest footprint. This is said to help with latency especially, and games happen to be quite sensitive to it since they are a mixed workload and so there is a lot of to-and-fro. However, despite that fact, users have noticed micro-stuttering and freezes on Ryzen X3D CPUs. Although there is no official fix, some of the affected users have managed to resolve the issues by tweaking a motherboard setting. The tweak is related to a setting called "GLOBAL C-STATE CONTROL" (it may be called something else by your motherboard vendor) and changing it to 'Enabled' from 'Auto' could fix stuttering and lag-related issues in games. If you are not familiar with them, Processor Power Management is done through Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) P-states or C-states. While P-states or performance states handle CPU voltage-frequency scaling, C-states deal with CPU sleep states so that some of the CPU functions, which are not necessary at that moment, are disabled. The P-states and C-states work together to make the processor run more efficiently. It helps the OS and apps determine which cores can be parked. The Global C-state control setting helps users manage not only the DF and CPU core C-states but also the I/O C-states too. For those wondering, DF here refers to Data Fabric or AMD's high bandwidth Infinity Fabric interconnect between CPUs, GPUs, and more, on AMD systems. By default, this is set to "Auto" which also means that it is "Enabled" by default. However, in the case of X3D parts, Auto may set this setting to "Disabled" and thus manually toggling it to "Enabled" may be necessary. X3D processors, the dual CCD (core complex die) ones especially, have their V-cache on a single CCD. If the CPPC (Collaborative Processor Performance Control), which lets an OS like Windows control the "preferred core" and clock speed boost, isn't working optimally to assign the correct gaming CCD, then this fix could well work. Global C-State Auto: Global C-State Enabled: We ran a benchmark on our Ryzen 9 9950X3D to see if toggling the settings would make a difference, and well, it didn't in the case of AIDA64. However, since this is a synthetic test that measures cache and memory exclusively, we can't definitively conclude that the fix will also not make a difference in the case of games. Another remedy for stuttering is to disable the monitoring of the "Power percent" metric on MSI Afterburner if you have it on. This has been a long-known issue and in fact can help you even if you are not using an X3D CPU. Source: Reddit (link1, link2) via YouTube

    • Looking for a specific setting in Settings? Sorry, the option just doesn’t exist as you’d need to elevate for that. Want to do something quickly and efficiently? Nah, forced to use a “modern” interface which takes far longer to achieve what you’re looking to do. (Example: disable a NIC)
