761573 2009-04-03 04:48:00 tried everything that has been suggested still does not boot all the time and so still getting random blue screens which I do not have time to read, about ready to give it a re format just need to ask the owners gary67 (56)
761574 2009-04-03 05:13:00 was doing sfc /scannow and it blue screened with this code

0x0000009c (0x00000004,0x80546E70,0xB2000000,0x00070f0f)

so really don't know points towards something dying 		gary67 (56)
761575 2009-04-03 05:21:00 Repair Install?

I still reckon it could be the hard drive... 		Blam (54)
761576 2009-04-03 05:22:00 Does it have the words "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" after the error message ?

If so from MS's error message meanings -
This behavior occurs because your computer processor detected and reported an unrecoverable hardware error to Windows XP. To do this, the processor used the Machine Check Exception (MCE) feature of Pentium processors or the Machine Check Architecture (MCA) feature of some Pentium Pro processors. The following factors may cause this error message:
System bus errors
Memory errors that may include parity or Error Correction Code (ECC) problems
Cache errors in the processor or hardware
Translation Lookaside Buffers (TLB) errors in the processor
Other CPU-vendor specific detected hardware problems
Vendor-specific detected hardware problems 		wainuitech (129)
761577 2009-04-03 05:24:00 Yes it did Wainui funny though as it's an AMD machine, just re doing the chkdsk/r as I used a home CD last night by mistake and its XP pro don't know if that will make a difference.

I can hear the HDD making odd noises. Time for a clone 		gary67 (56)
761578 2009-04-03 05:34:00 XP Hm or XP Pro - doesn't matter which.

What i would suggest is saving all data and reinstalling, a repair install prob wouldn't do much as if the hardware is failing that sometimes wont detect it.

What you can try is Burnin Test (www.passmark.com) - the trial is 30 days more than enough time to test the hardware, under the configuration (from memory) - click on the screen shot there then scroll down the bottom of that page - test duty cycles ( thats the settings you want), untick every thing, then do single tests on CPU/Optical/RAM 2D/3D Graphics Disks - select 1 at a time and see if you can make the damn thing fail - that will tell you where the hardware problem is ( hopefully) if it passes then select the ones mentioned and run one test with them - it will load up the PC and may cause the failure to occur.

SAVE the data first - did this once and it managed to over stress the PC and caused a total hardware failure --- OPPS :xmouth: - it was about to die anyway, the owner just wanted me to make it fail - good excuse to purchase a new one he said. 		wainuitech (129)
761579 2009-04-03 05:34:00 Heres that exact stop error (forums.amd.com)

This guy had the same thing (club.cdfreaks.com)

And rolled back the sata controller drivers and that fixed it. Are there any Nvidia sata controller drivers on this system??

There's a lot more in google (www.google.co.nz(0x00000004%2C0x80546E70%2C0xB 2000000%2C0x00070f0f)&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a) 		Speedy Gonzales (78)
761580 2009-04-03 05:36:00 Just going to clone to a old spare IDE drive i have it's smaller but has enough space I think gary67 (56)
761581 2009-04-07 08:47:00 Well it turned out to be a failing power supply after all as it completely died on the owners over the weekend, so just replaced it with my own Silverstone from my spare machine it it boots first time every time and very quickly. Thought I would share the results here.

Thanks to all who posted trying to help :thanks:thanks 		gary67 (56)

That's the first thing I said. Hyena PSUs are horrible, no exceptions, especially after 3 years of use :yuck:

Good to see you got it fixed 		Agent_24 (57)
