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

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.

    • Ah .. lockout for suspicious activity. I bet they uploaded the SanDisk utility detected as malware
    • Microsoft 365 will soon disable outdated authentication protocols for file access by Usama Jawad On a fairly regular basis, Microsoft disables outdated protocols that are used to access its services. In the past few years, the company has deprecated Basic Auth in Exchange Online and cut access to Outlook for third-party apps relying on this protocol. Now, it has decided to get rid of old authentication protocols for file access across Microsoft 365 services. As reported by Bleeping Computer, Microsoft has posted a message on its Microsoft 365 Admin Center. Starting from mid-July 2025, the company will begin disabling legacy authentication protocols used to access files across Microsoft 365 and Office apps, SharePoint, and OneDrive. Essentially, applications or services which use the Relying Party Suite (RPS) or FrontPage Remote Procedure Call (FPRPC) will to perform browser-based authentication to perform open operations on Office files will no longer be able to do so. As expected, this is primarily being done to improve the cybersecurity posture of various services. Microsoft states that RPS can be brute-forced and phished with relative ease as it is fairly outdated. Similarly, FPRPC is typically used for remote web page authoring and it is susceptible to exploitation through various vulnerabilities too. As such, both of these protocols will be disabled by default starting from mid-July 2025, with the rollout of this change targeting completion by August 2025. The Redmond tech giant will update the protocol baseline by default without mandating any licensing changes for customers. In addition, once these modifications are rolled out, Microsoft 365 will require admin consent to get third-party access to files and sites. IT admins can view the guidance available here to configure admin consent workflows. Microsoft says that these changes align with the principles of its Secure Future Initiative (SFI). Earlier today, it announced the rollout of improved security defaults for Windows 365 citing the same reasons too.
    • It does and it can... I took an i3 board and upgraded it to my FX8350... no issues, just put in new drivers over the top that Windows didn't. Not the issue for me, (though I eventually did do a new install from 23H2 to 24H2)... I was on 22H2 at the time. The issue is activation. You may get hit with having to activate again.
