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.

    • My home system is a 5800X (upgraded from 2700X) with a 7800 XT. I can't comment as to why you feel so strongly about the differences, but I have used both Windows 10 and 11 for literally thousands of hours each; I'd guess over 10,000 hours on Windows 10 and maybe half that on Windows 11. Earlier builds of Windows 11 had some pretty big UI lag issues, which did annoy me, but not enough to go back to Windows 10. 23H2 and forward have corrected all those issues for me and I have no complaints at all at this time. Let me clarify what I meant by "Windows 11 runs perfectly fine." I don't mean it is merely acceptable; I mean that I don't perceive a difference between it and Windows 10. I chose the word "fine" because I don't believe that either 10 or 11 are perfect in that area and both have the rare UI hiccup, but in my experience, their responsiveness is at the same level.

    • Maybe you don't realize this...but everything you said agreed with me. Yes, many tech outlets reported on Ryzen 9000 issues prior to 24H2, which I already addressed, and as I already said, that issue only existed for a few short months. Ryzen 9000 was released the same quarter of 2024 as 24H2. So again...months, not years. I also already said 24H2 showed some minor improvements on older Ryzen CPU. The article you posted agrees with me, and even says the improvements were only 3-5%, which is even more petty an amount than I estimated. If you want to fuss on the 3-5% numbers, then yes, I will grant you that was an issue for an extended amount of time. In my opinion, that is such a small amount it isn't worth fussing over, but you are welcome to a different option. However, if that was your point, then you didn't make that point in good faith, because you highlighted Ryzen 9000 so much, which had a FAR bigger and FAR shorter issue, it's really a very different conversation.
