XP Computer randomly restarting, bugcheck?


Recommended Posts

Hello guys,

I wonder if any of you could be of assistance, as I'm getting extremely frustrated by this problem and am at complete blank as to what the problem could be.

Basically, I have a media centre PC that is rebooting at random intervals. It has no warning before hand, and just goes blank and restarts.

I thought it could be an over-heating problem, however I have run speedfan to see what sort of temperatures it gets to and it averages around 40oc on the CPU, which to me seems fine?

I've had a look through the event log, and there are a couple of entries after the reboot which seem interesting; although I haven't got a clue what they mean! I'll post those now, one sec.

Error code 100000d1, parameter1 00000004, parameter2 00000002, parameter3 00000001, parameter4 b98797d6.

and there is also another event in there a couple of minutes after saying that:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x1000008e (0xc0000005, 0x8056e978, 0xa97c3b7c, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini050909-01.dmp.

Now I'm not sure how to open this elussive .dmp file but have attached it just in case that might give you a bit more information?

I hope this all helps, and thanks very much guys; it is really getting quite irritating to be in the middle of some work to have it randomly reboot! :(

They tell me this is rare, so it may not help you.

I went through hell(various hells) for many days, and eventually it got to the point where it would last about 30 seconds, then reboot.

I found a good guy, who checked it out, and he found that the cpu was faulty.

He has replaced it.

I am still trying to recover data, but during those attempts (eg cloning the whole disk), it has run(busily) for 10 hours without any rebooting.

If it is not your cpu, I believe

fluctuating power supply

or

motherboard problems

or

bad ram

or

dying drive

can also cause your symptoms.

In left pane scroll down to 0x1000008E. Actually, that tells you to look at 0x8E: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

0xC0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates that a memory access violation occurred.

Some advice given on what to check.

You can use the Microdoft debugging tools to analyze the minidump.

    • Linus Torvalds releases a pretty ordinary Linux 6.16-rc3 by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds, the head and founder of the Linux kernel, has announced the release of Linux 6.16-rc3. This release comes with fixes for new features that were introduced during the merge window several weeks ago, and for old features where issues have been detected or improvements need to be made. If you remember last week, Torvalds said that rc2 seemed smaller than usual, putting it down to people going on vacation. He said this week’s rc3 seems to be in the usual ballpark for this time of the cycle, so everything looks “entirely normal.” In terms of changes, this release is “dominated” by wireless networking and GPU driver updates, however, Torvalds doesn’t think that anything really huge stands out this time. While nothing stands out Torvalds urged people to carry on testing and submitting patches. This update saw improvements to the core system and architecture. There have been improvements to ARM64 KVM that improve stability and correctness of virtualizations on ARM64. There are also improvements to RISC-V KVM and Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) for Intel which expand and secure virtualization capabilities on those architectures. On the graphics front, there are fixes for the amdgpu and amdkfd drivers that fix job handling, engine resets, display corruption, and power management features. The driver used for Qualcomm’s Adreno GPUs has been updated to improve fault handling, display timing, and driver binding. The open-source Nouveau (Nvidia) driver has been updated with fixes for GSP message queue references, potential integer overflows, buffer size adjustments, and a use-after-free bug. Finally, the Intel i915 driver has been updated to address early wedge issues, memory initializations, and build errors. There are also improvements to Wi-Fi devices (ath12k and iwlwifi), sound (ALSA), power management on AMD, and file system improvements (OverlayFS, EROFS, XFS, NFS, SunRPC). Linux 6.16 is due for release at the end of July and will then be picked up by Linux distributions, which will be the first interaction most end users have with the new features in this update. The main benefit of a newer kernel is that Linux will work on newer hardware, so if you’ve had issues with Linux, be sure to try it periodically in case your hardware is now supported.
