well i'm playing music and scanning my HDD's for Viruses while doing Orthos for an hour now - nothing. PSU's getting very warm though.

Wow. HDD is failing thats for sure. It's probably just a windows thing. Whens the last time you reloaded?


::EDIT::

If the PSU gets very warm... You might want to look into buying a better PSU... or a 3850-3870. 9600's are good and all but with a MB that doesn't lock the PCI-E Bus, it sucks. I finally got one that did.

Because the PCI-E bus overclocks the G94 for some unknown odd reason. - Don't ask.

All I know is this! It overclocks it. Because when I tried to overclock it... it would freak out. Now it doesn't, before I'm guessing it OCed it to 730/2000

My MB can set the PCI-E Freq from 100 - 150 MHz so that's fine.

The PC BSOD'ed after me having a little mess around in LFS and when I was exiting (i.e. at the credits screen and hitting space to exit) while virus scanning both HDD's (theres 3 but 2 are in RAID0) and doing Prime95 accross all 4 cores.

I got annoyed in the end and ripped my PC apart - i've taken the cover off the 8800GTX and have just cleaned all the dust off, and i'm now going to try "cable management" to see if I can improve airflow.

If you want to do good cable management, if you are half decent with metal work, don't be afraid to cut a hole near the PSU to shove the excess cabling in. I did that, and before I did, every time I looked in my case, I saw this medusa creature on top of my DVD drive.

Quote from Jakg :

Just had my hand in my PC when it was on (didn't touch anything) - felt awful warm, esp the PSU - will try to replace soon.

Some BSOD's I got:

Jack , that Adress dump ( The numbers ) is a problem in one of your ram´s

I have the same problem now , sometimes happens when i play games that eat all my ram or doing a scan file in the Torrent

Try mentest or try changing the rams one at time , to see if solve the problem
Also donwload "Debuging tool for windows" and check the dump file in your C:\windows\minidump with that program







Good luck

Don't do memtest.

Do what makes it crash.


Ok take one of the sticks of memory out if it still fails then take that one out and put the other in. see if that works. If neither work, reload windows.

i used to get bsod's when i had 2 controllers in the pc.

Why wouldn't you just run memtest?

My roommate had the same problem as you at one point Jakg, we ran memtest with one stick of ram in at a time and found one that had tons of errors on it. I bet you'll find the same thing.

I'll try that once I finish re-building it - i've had 2 sticks of this memory die already though...

uninstall your chipset drivers and install the latest compatible ones for your OS.

I think he already ran memtest.

He never said he has or even posted the results if he did. I was betting on bad memory and mentioned it ages ago, he seems to have exhausted all over ideas might as well do the memory test.( or take one stick of memory out at a tiem and see how well it runs).

Im still betting on bad memory.....

Quote from lil chris :

Agree , i cheked the Microsoft knowloged Bug Library , and that number it show the BSOD , i for a bad sector in one of your rams , or maybe one of your port (The place where you stick the ram) is in bad state

Chech the other side of your mobo in the zone where stick the ram and see if not overheated also check the temp of your ram touching in , if at touch it´s burs your finger , Bingo that the problem , In the other hand if you at touch the ram has a good temp (No finger burn) well is other problem

The RAM wasn't overheating but i'll still run memtest when i plug it in again.

try a bigger psu

Well as of this morning my sister encountered a VERY nasty virus. Her computer resulted in BSOD'ing... She supposedly downloaded a virus and started getting the same errors as you. After spending 15 minutes of denial and arguing I finally came to the conclusion that she was lieing about not "downloading anything... I SWEAR!" I said I'd fix for her.. BUT NO!

Reload your windows man.

::EDIT::

Those errors only occur when services such as svchost or other have been altered/removed or just corrupted by a virus or hardware failure. Most likely a virus.

I've been having major problems with my computer as well

just now I got this weird message after LFS froze for a few minutes

a psu that is being stressed to its limits is not enough for you?

also, have you taken a peek at jakg's hardware? do you consider id probable that this guy has caught a virus...

juihi: this is not the thread for this.

Do your research. I have a computer 99% identicle as his except overclocked!!! His PSU is fine.

Not sure this has been mentioned ... underclock the cpu ? underclock the ram. then see if it persists.

Nothings overclocked.

I've VIrus-scanned with ClamWin - i'm clean. Trust me I don't download shit etc and I don't have a Virus.

My PC's still unplugged - I put my 2x 7200.7's in Caddies and now they aren't being recognised in the BIOS, and seeing as they are RAID'ed and hold my copy of Vista I need to get it working before I can get it to boot.

So - opinions on this? http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?ProductId=22926 ? I can get it for £35 and probably will if this wire management hasn't fixed things...

i dunno man... if you can trust it to be the same thing that is in the test you showed me, go for it.

i'd open it up and replace all caps i can with solid state ones. or at least higher quality.

Why do you think it wont be? Scan is a very reputable company in the UK...

Quote from Jakg :

I think you understood my phrasing of the suggestion.
Underclock the CPU if its 12x200 use 10.
same with memory if DDR800 set it to 667 etc.

It's back together, and besides a case of my monitor res being screwed up all works - will wait for it to BSOD. When it does i'll buy the FSP...
