| 1207718 | 2011-06-08 00:18:00 | Hello, I don't know much about resolving software issues so I've come to you guys for help. I built myself a custom PC rig about a month ago and it has been working fine until about two days ago when I started experiencing BSoD errors while watching video content on megavideo and videobb. I messed around trying to fix it (thought firefox 5.0 beta was the problem at first i uninstalled that, performed some video driver updates, no success) and then i started getting hyper transport sync flood errors. I did a windows restore point, errors persisted. backed up my important files and did a fresh OS install but the errors still persist. I don't know exactly what to do and I'm running out of ideas. I checked the .dmp files. Suspected causes were said to be ntkrnlpa.exe (3 times) mouclass.sys, l1c62x86.sys (twice) and vsdatant.sys. Here are the most recent .dmp files i haven't taken a look at them yet: www.mediafire.com . My system follows: -AMD Phenom II X4 840 3.2 ghz -2x2gb g-skill RAM 1600mhz f3-12800cl9d-4gbrl -xfx hd5670 hd567xznl3 -MSI 760gm-p35 Mobo -ASUS 24x DVD burner drw-24bist -Cooler Master elite power 400 watt PSU -Western digital caviar green 500gb I overclocked my CPU and RAM a little bit a couple of days before i started having issues. |

| 1207719 | 2011-06-08 00:25:00 | Welcome to PressF1. It's probably something to do with the overclock, either RAM voltages are wrong or it's stuffed something. Have you reset your BIOS to defaults and checked the voltages? Have you run a RAM diagnostic? Use memtest86+ (http://www.memtest.org/) and do a couple of passes. A 400w Power Supply is extremely marginal for your system, especially if you are overclocking. Do you have access to a more powerful PSU that you could try? I would recommend upgrading to a better one anyway, something like this (www.computerlounge.co.nz)or this (www.computerlounge.co.nz)would be good for your system. It wouldn't surprise me if that was the problem. |

| 1207720 | 2011-06-08 00:37:00 | tcpip . sys, and hal . dll are crashing . Stop errors are 0x000000d1, 0x00000124 (for hal . dll), and 0x0000001e Run this and see if you've got a rootkit . . kaspersky . com/viruses/solutions?qid=208280684" target="_blank">support . kaspersky . com That 0x00000124 stop error is a CPU / hardware related stop error . This may have something to do with the overclocking . Is the latest BIOS on this? vsdatant . sys belongs to Zonealarm, is this still installed? . Is Avast the virus scanner or the Internet security? If its the internet security, you should only have 1 firewall |

| 1207721 | 2011-06-08 01:40:00 | I ran Memtest once no errors. BIOS was reset to optimized defaults. I rolled back the OC to default, and it was running fine for a day or two before i started getting errors so i don't think the OC is to blame. I don't think my system needs that much power, i have a friend with a slightly slower off the shelf system (hp, amd quad core 3.0-3.1 ghz, 4 gb ram ddr3-1333, hd 5570, 1tb hdd, etc.) running off 300 watts. Zonealarm is still installed. Avast is the anti-virus. Pretty sure Zonealarm deactivated windows firewall and my version of avast doesn't include internet security or any firewall functionality. Scan completed without finding anything. I'm on BIOS 10.4 never updated BIOS before although there is a ver. 10.6 out. |

| 1207722 | 2011-06-08 01:54:00 | Well your mate is pushing it a bit with a crappy 300w PSU. Sooner or later something will fail, because of lack of power. Depending on what else is in the case Did you run tdsskiller? |

| 1207723 | 2011-06-08 01:57:00 | HP and other brand name manufactures are not good with supplying decent PSUs. IMO your mate is crazy for running that system on a 300w, and probably a cheap no name 300w too. The minimum recommended PSU for your card is a 400w. You want to have a bit of headroom there, especially if you are overclocking. I would update the BIOS, then do another reinstall, and not put ZA or anything like that on there - put on a trial of NOD32 or MSSE, run it for a few days and then see if you are still having problems. |

| 1207724 | 2011-06-08 02:03:00 | I ran tdsskiller. No problems. It's off the shelf so it's going to keep on working but 300w is the bare minimum. Not like you can OC on an off the shelf board anyways. Bit silly how based on the card a graphics card manufacturer can tell you how powerful a psu you need without taking into account nay of the other numerous components. I restored the fsb, dram to cpu ratio, and cpu ratio to defaults so i'm not OC'ing anymore. I haven't gotten another bluescreen yet but i have been running windows in safe mode and on another user account for awhile too so... Not gonna update BIOS because i've never done it and i don't want to mess up the system any further. Extreme power supply calculator suggest 289 watts or more, vbutils suggests 396.5 watts or more. | LiquidSnowIsH2O (16412) | ||

| 1207726 | 2011-06-08 19:23:00 | :lol: And where did you get that idea? !! HP tries to reduce costs wherever possible, they strapped the cheapest PSU they could find that would reliably power the system. They also tested it to make sure the system works flawlessly, no point cheaping out on a PSU if you're going to have to pay to fix it when the customer sends the system back to you during the warranty period. That's why they make sure that it only breaks after the warranty expires. :thumbs: |

| 1207727 | 2011-06-08 19:29:00 | Back to topic, I haven't gotten a BSoD in a little while so hopefully it's fixed. It probably was the overclock. Do you think I could just push the front side bus up two Mhz (currently at stock 200) and change my CPU:dram ratio to 1:6 (currently 1:3.33) w/o adjusting any voltages so that I can safely take full advantage of my 1600mhz ram?(Currently running at 1333mhz) |
