1271996 2012-05-11 23:16:00 That's possible. But its still crashing. Even if the cellphone isn't connected isnt it? Hmm probably not a good idea to uninstall the Win7 drivers (if you're using the Win7 drivers and nothing else). You could check and see on the Sony Ericsson site, if its got Win7 drivers for it. Which may or may not work better. If you plug the cell into a port and check windowsupdate, do any updates come up for it? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1271997 2012-05-11 23:21:00 lol too late, I've uninstalled the cellphone drivers (although it also gave me an option to also Delete the drivers - I did not select this option). Will see if it crashes again.

1271998 2012-05-11 23:48:00 OK well I've had two crashes in the past 5 minutes :( one with a BSOD, but it doesn't seem to have got to dumping as bluescreenviewer doesn't see it. the other just froze (no bsod, just everything locks up).

8 times out of 10 the PC just locks up with no bsod.

1271999 2012-05-12 00:46:00 Hi mike, how's it going, sounds like you still have issues?, did you swap the PSU?...do you know what the memory is, has freezing is memory issues, BSOD is driver issues....with the memory, you could bump the voltage a couple of points to help stabilize it. For BSOD, remove add on cards or disable devices from device manager to isolate the problem driver SolMiester (139)
1272000 2012-05-12 00:51:00 freezing is memory issues, BSOD is driver issuesseems odd they'd both start at the same time, doesn't it? I've not had freezing issues or bsod issues in the 3 or 4 years I've had this PC, but they all started about 3 weeks ago.

For BSOD, remove add on cards or disable devices from device manager to isolate the problem driverYes I swapped out the PSU. Now have 500W Enermax PSU installed (its got more spare plugs than used ones :D) Shame it didn't fix the problem, but a new PSU was something I had to get anyway.

Not sure what brand the memory is, I just know one is 2gb, one is 1gb. Doesn't matter which one I have in the machine, it still freezes or BSODs. If only using one stick I can only start windows stably (or as stable as I can get with the freezing and BSOD) with RAM in Slot 0 (at least I think that's the slot 0), if I put in only slot 1 Windows won't start. If I have the RAM in both slots Windows starts fine.

I'll try removing all add-on cards and devices now.

Cheers,
Mike.

1272002 2012-05-12 01:14:00 OK I have now unplugged all extra USB sockets, removed the firewire card, unplugged the two IDE hard drives and the FDD (can't remember the last time I used that!). All I have plugged in at the moment is 2x SATA HDD, 1x SATA DVD, LAN, KB, Mouse. Will see what happens...

1272003 2012-05-12 01:39:00 BSOD again... Driver IRQ not less or equal :confused:

This is frustrating :)

1272004 2012-05-12 02:08:00 And in safe mode? SolMiester (139)
1272005 2012-05-12 02:48:00 And another BSOD along with 2 lockups :)

I'll try again in safe mode - I'm pretty sure there's no difference in safe mode (the lockups at least - not sure there were any BSOD in safe mode, but I haven't tried much/often)
