| 520481 | 2007-01-30 23:02:00 | And did u run cwshredder and did it find anything else? It could be software or hardware related. Yes I have ran cwshredder and it didn't find anything else. I have done a FRESH install of Windows however the problem still persists which leads me to believe that it is a hardware related problem. borax, I will try your suggestion soon and post the results here. |

| 520482 | 2007-01-31 01:06:00 | Let me know, my money would be on a faulty mobo, dodgy RAM or the CPU faulty or needing to be reseated | borax (7078) | ||
| 520483 | 2007-02-01 07:09:00 | Alright I have removed all the extra components (I don't have much parts so there wasn't much to remove) however the problem still persists. Though I noticed Windows doesn't crash when running in Safe Mode. This problem has only been around for the past week. My last hardware upgrade was almost a year ago when I got my new graphics card. Ever since till now my computer has been running fault free. |

| 520484 | 2007-02-01 07:31:00 | Sounds like a possible hardware problem. I have had the same similar problem before in a customers computer, and it was a faulty stick of RAM. If you can try and borrow a stick of RAM from a friend or another comp and see if that eliminates your problem. If not it could be another piece of hardware causing this. Your best bet is process of elimination |

| 520485 | 2007-02-01 07:59:00 | Try running a programme that loads before Windows like memtest or an anti-virus boot disk. If it still does it then you can rule out windows, it will (memtest) will also test the RAM for you. Try reseating the CPU, it might even be a faulty PSU or power lead??? |
