Comp randomly restarts after Mobo change

[Chewie]

Lynx: AFAIK USB2 drivers are required for Win2k but not for XP 'cos SP1 has them.

Mulder: I'd right-click and uninstall the controller with the alert, then restart and see if Windows installs drivers properly second time around.
Do the same for the RAID drivers.

[Mr. Mulder]

I didn't have any service packs

...I put back the old motherboard, downloaded a new version of Windows Pro with SP2, put back the new Mobo and then installed the newer version of windows - been using it for a couple of hourse now and it all seems to be working fine, all drivers are installed etc - thanks for teh help

(still no Word hence the bad spelling)

I thought so. That's why I posted about how to check the version.

[Mr. Mulder]

It still does it

this time it says:

c:\DOCUME-1\rob\LOCALS-1\Temp\Werae79.dir00\mini111005-01.dmp
c:\DOCUME-1\rob\LOCALS-1\Temp\Werae79.dir00\sysdata.xml


No BSOD yet, just switched off Automatically restart, will post what it says after it happens again

[Mr. Mulder]

BSOD info - nearly went the whole day without it happening

IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal

***Stop: 0x0000000A etc...

also stuff keeps shutting down with error reports - Opera - BSPlayer etc

[Mr. Mulder]

thanks lynx, nice link - tried most of the stufff they've said but it still happens though, with different Stop codes

...the next thing on the list to upgrade is the RAM, could upgrading from crappy old ram to a fresh gig of GeiL make these problems go away? Eventually, every piece of hardware will be replaced (cept the new mobo of course), and if it's a hardware problem then surely it would go away eventually, right?

Make sure you used all screws for the motherboard and make sure its not warped, also check to see if you dropped a screw behind the mb could be that somthing shorting out, it sounds like the MB is not grounded properly, also check your cables to make sure the wires going into your power connectors are seated properly

Lastly check your fans to make sure they are running properly many sensers will shut the computer down if a fan in either the ps is not running or a cpu fan, also check to see that your heatsink for the cpu is mounted properly

If all that looks good you know ram is ok then RMA the MB

Good luck

[Chewie]

Run Memtest86 overnight and see what happens.
That'll tell you if you needto change it.

When I had all my probems with y pc restarting of its own accord it turned out to be a fuck up on the cpu chip from manufacturing

I bought a new chip, put it in, and touch wood i haven't had a BSOD in nearly 10 months
