1230138 2011-09-11 21:51:00 The problem with this random crashing is
Is it hardware - eg overheating
Or is it some software clash ?

To my non technical mind if its over heating it is not gong to show up in an error log as the BIOS is designed to shut off when the temp reaches a certain level, - then BANG it just turns off.

I have been having this type of problem for the last few months.
It had been crashing once or twice a day at random
I though I had fixed it when I put my motherboard into another case with three fans.
Then it went for 3 weeks on 24/7 with no problem.
Until Saturday ! when it crashed twice.

I can't handle it anymore, so I am, going to buy a new motherboard and cpu and put this new system in another case.
I will also re-install Windows so will start with a clean slate.
(But of course I won't have found out what caused it)

1230139 2011-09-11 22:43:00 These things can be so hard to find, my flatmates PC has randomly restarted ever since it was built and refused all attempts to fix it. It's almost 2 years old now.
Have replaced or temporarily swapped:
Motherboard
PSU
Graphics card
Heatsink on the CPU (now running a larger one from a higher specced AMD CPU)
Reinstalled windows a few times

The motherboard made it better but didn't fix it, as did the graphics card. He runs it with the side off and a desktop fan blowing into which seems to make it fairly stable so it's definately heat related. If it was mine I'd keep going until it was fixed but he doesn't have the money or the motivation. I've decided either his CPU or RAM is faulty given that's all that has never been replaced.

Another friend of mine has upgraded his PC on the sly for years in the same old beige metal case so his wife won't notice, it has horrendous airflow and the PSU sits on top of the CPU cooler almost touching it and restricting half the fans airflow, it sits on the carpet sucking up dust, is never cleaned, and through 3 upgrades has been one of the most stable pc's I've seen.

Life is random.

Screen goes black fans go on full speed. Today windows informed me that it was in fact a BSOD.

The internet tells me its the nVidia drivers. Will try to update driver.

1230143 2011-09-12 02:06:00 It shows the cause up the top. The first 2 belong to DirectX. Try updating DirectX (www.microsoft.com). And the 3rd are the Nvidia drivers Speedy Gonzales (78)
1230144 2011-09-12 06:45:00 Updated Dx. Updated nVidia drivers. Will wait and see. icow (15313)
1230145 2011-09-14 08:02:00 Did it again today. Then crashed again when I went into event viewer. Will post as soon as i get in. icow (15313)
