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 10000050, parameter1 d953031c, parameter2 00000000, parameter3 804e8d74, parameter4 00000000.

Error code 000000f4, parameter1 00000003, parameter2 8a2f5020, parameter3 8a2f5194, parameter4 80604428.

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.

    • Download Apple macOS 26 Tahoe, iOS 26 official stock wallpapers in high quality by Aditya Tiwari Apple's latest software design can be thought of as the tech version of 'new year, new me.' macOS 26 is one among them, featuring the "Liquid Glass" as a translucent new material that reflects and refracts its surroundings. The updated macOS design is all over the place, including the Dock, sidebars, and toolbars, which have been refined to focus more on the user's content. Apple continued its annual tradition and introduced new wallpapers custom-made for macOS 26 Tahoe to go along with the new design language. These macOS Tahoe 26 wallpapers are available in light and dark theme options, complementing the transparent menu bar, which makes the display feel bigger. To download the wallpapers to your device, click on the image to open it, then right-click on the wallpaper and select "Save Image As." Apple said during the announcement that "the new design also unlocks more personalization on the Mac. App icons come to life in light or dark appearances, colorful new light and dark tints, as well as an elegant new clear look." Apple's Liquid Design-inspired default wallpapers are also available for iOS 26 in light and dark options. The company has utilised Liquid Design extensively when upgrading the wallpaper experience on iPhones. Lock Screen wallpapers on iPhone create a 3D effect when the device is moved around, giving the illusion that the objects in the image are popping out of the screen. The time displayed on the lock screen fluidly adapts to the available space in an image for a more dynamic feel. Not just the design, Apple has further bridged the gap between iPhone and Mac by adding new Continuity features to macOS 26 on these supported Mac models. This includes the new Phone app that lets you relay phone calls from your iPhone nearby. Just like widgets, macOS 26 can populate Live Activities from a nearby iPhone, enabling you to track your Uber ride, live sports scores, or incoming dinner orders. Source: Apple via 9to5Mac [1,2]
    • Whatever, you aimless bunch at M$ want to keep on wasting time and resources into applying makeup into that pig - I'll keep Open-Shell or Startallback thank you for nothing and be gone.
    • Maybe, I can’t quite recall. I skipped 8. My recollection is only it went from full screen to the option to not be full screen? It’s hazy lol
    • 8 to 8.1 was a pretty big overhaul, wasn’t it? 8.1 wasn’t really a new version of Windows. Is that what you were referring to in the tinkering comment?
