PC restart

[CyCo]

MY pc keeps restarting about every hour or so ..

it gives me that big blue screen error.

then it :

1. Either hangs on the blue screen error
2. OR hangs on the a8NE screen
3. OR gives a boot error [which it also gives when i restart.i always have to manually select my bootdisk. editing the bios boot prority and hdd boot priority does not help. it reverts every time. i have 1 OS. XP Prof SP2]
4.Monitor light turns orange and nothing happens. I have to take out 1 piece of RAM and put it back and then it wrks .....


HELP!!!

try cleaning your ram contacts with an eraser.
also calculate power usage and see if smps is good enough.

Do as shaunak told u..also it may be heating problem..chk ur Processor fan is working or not..or chk for any clutters in the cabinet ...also u can get Mother Board Monitor for Day to day use....Get info/download here : *www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=311

Yep......seems to be memory prob......
Remove the memory modules and see is the connectors r clean and not black...also clean them with help of some Sand Paper.....but be carefull...

flashget also keeps corrupting my downloads .. as in the above file , motherboard montitor .. the setup runs , but some files dont .. i did that like 5 times ..

proccy fan is wrking nicely .. i have a 500W SMPS .. i jsut got a full cabinet cleaning done (yes .. from inside .. im not that stupid .. ) amd theres not a speck of dust ..

and y shd i keep givin a boot error then ?

RAM problems. If u have any frens who have almost same config or ur sure that the ram chips match u can bring his ram put it in ur machine and check it out. These r pure symptoms of a RAM freq mismatch.

 

[CyCo]

but then , if i put them one at a time then it shd wrk .. but it doesnt ..

 

[djmykey]

Both the RAMs might b mismatch. Did u buy them at the same time or diff. If diff then it might not be a RAM problem. Dunno man this might b difficult to tell online.

 

[CyCo]

same time . both r 1GB transcend ..

i also noticed that generally it doesnt give an error on windows startup , but after every few days , it gives like 20-30 minidmp errors ..

 

[djmykey]

Did u buy them at the same time or diff.

This is the answer I was looking for not how much they were or what manufacturer.

Both the RAMs might b mismatch.

And by this I meant the RAM and the mobo not the RAM's

sorry not read all the above posts...but might not be it a CMOS cell problem coz his boot priority is changed everytime.? just think of it.

 

[CyCo]

[Ishan]

Arey...Plz reply na...I am tealking to u members...just guess! might it work!

Arrey if its a BIOS battery problem the PC wont boot itself. But yaar there is no harm in trying it out na, the battery costs hardly 15 buxx so go ahead with it.

 

[CyCo]

i dont think its a battery prob . i think my mobo [which just came bac from replacement] has a prob coz its not detecting my frnds USB drive also

 

[CyCo]

its fixed .. my AGP was the prob .. i reaplaced that and its working fine now ...

fr now i have a 6100 instead of my x800xl !!
