Computer Randomly Restart After About 1 Hour
Replies: 2 | Post Date: 20-12-2006, 10:48 AM | User: Mopay | Forums: hardwareforums.comI recently bought a new computer which set me back a bit. It is still covered by warranty so if i can't fix it im still safe. My computer will randomly restart after about 1 hour - 2hrs. I have checked my error logs and i get 2 errors that are consistant. I have googled for help but i can't find the exact errors anywhere. I don't think its overheating either because. Errors are as follow. Error 1

Computer Randomly Restart During Games
While playing games such as call of duty 4 and world in conflict i can play for about 5 mins to 30 mins then my computer would randomly shut off and restart. The weird thing is that it plays fine in other games like crysis on high graphics and i can play for hours and have no problems. The cpu temperature is about 50-60c while playing and the gpu is about 70-80 does anyone know what the problem may be?
Specifications:
3. 00 ghz intel core 2 duo
Ati radeon hd3870x2
4gb ddr3 ram
500gb hard driver
Asus p5e3 mobo
650w power supply
Windows vista 64 bit

Internet Connection Keeps Going On And Off Every Hour
My internet connection keeps going on and off every hour or so using a realtek wireless adapter. I connect to the internet wirelessly using my realtek rtl8187b wireless 802. 11b/g 54mbps usb 2. 0 network adapter and it seems to somehow just disconnect for no reason. The only temporary solution ive found is to re-install the driver in device manager, it fixes the connection but then goes off again later. It seems to happen when im doing things that require lots of bandwidth like downloading music, videos etc. Is there a solution?

Xp Computer Keeps On Restart
I have windows xp installed on my home pc. With intel 945 motherboard, p 4 1. 5 ghz. When i start my computer, it restarts automatically which is very unexpected. After 2-3 times of automatic restarts the computer works fine. The frequency of the restarts is also variable. Sometimes 1-2 times and sometimes 4-5 times. I cannot figure out if this is the conflict in the drivers/ ports etc or is this a windows problem. ?
I have replaced my motherboard some time back. But since then it worked fine. But now it started giving this problem.

Computer Will Shut Down And Restart Itself
Lately my computer will shut down and restart itself. It will do this at anytime so it doesn't appear to be related to any one task i'm doing. Every time it happens the screen will go black and the computer restarts and once i'm back on the desktop i always get the same error message:
Windows cannot find 'http://oca.microsoft.com/reredir.aspx?Sid=10&bucket=oxa_cmaudio%2b11777&sta te=1&id=4acd04b3-30b1-4321-87cd-adda4910be9b&lcid=1033&os=5. 1. 2600. 2. 00010300. 2. 0. ' make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search. I haven't a clue what any of this means, except the name "cmaudio" has me thinking my soundcard (c-media cmi8738/c3dx pci card) may be the culprit. The error message also says to make sure i typed the name correctly, but i wasn't typing anything when these errors occured. I have a windows xp home system, p4p800 mobo, intel p4 2. 4ghz cpu, 2 g of kingston pc3200 ram. I run chkdsk and defrag often. I also keep my virus program up to date and scan frequently, along with my two spam programs, spybot and ad-aware. I have everest ultimte edition running in the background so i can always keep an eye on my pc temps and the highest any of my devices ever run is thirty-two degrees. I'm posting here to get some feedback on what could be causing this. I'm thinking i should get a new sound card because of the "cmaudio" in the error message. That card is ancient anyway. I'm going to check the ram and possibly the hds for bad sectors, but i'm pretty sure it's neither of those (both the ram and the hds are brand new).

Computer Started To Restart Itself
First, i had a amd epox 8rda+ mobo. The problem started with the red voltage values at the startup of the computer: sometimes voltage values(i don't remember which yet) are colored in red computer wouldn't start. When there were no red's everything were working fine. And some days it happened that when i powered the computer there was only a black screen . I tested all the hardware an finally found it was the mobo. I took it to a repair shop and they told me the problem is the capacitors near the cpu: they swelled and needed to be replaced. But after the replacement the repairman told me the chip of mobo was damaged and can only work with 1100 hz freq. , But my cpu is 1700xp, so it didn't work with me. With that i bought a new mobo foxconn 600a01 and plugged my hdd without having formatted into the mobo. I used the computer a while(about 1-2 days), and then the computer started to restart itself anytime(while playing games, surfing, or just doing nothing). After the restart it was saying "the system has recovered from a serious error" and giving this error details:
Bccode: 1000007e
Bcp1: c0000005
Bcp2: f7d62e1d
Bcp3: f49f0a44
Bcp4: f49f0740
Os. Ver: 5_1_2600
S_p: 2_0
Product: 256_1
I turned the automatic restart off but it didn't work. After a while screen started to go off when windowsxp started and then restart itself. And now: the screen turnes into black while loading xplogo on the blcak screen, sometimes 1-2 min after the logon. I was able to copy 2 error codes fragmentarily in the event viewer:
1. ) Sspd dis. Service entered the running state
2. ) Error code 100000ea
Par?1 : 815b8638
Par?2 : 81a57970
Par?3 : f9e65cb4
Par?4 : 00001
Sorry i forgot what was writn in par?X field and so put a question mark there. I should add one of the self_restarts i heard beeps but i dont remember how their codes were. I fear that mobo went down again but please dont tell me this. By the way here are my hardware:
* Amd1700xp
* 160gb hdd
* 2 optic driver
* Geforce mx440 display adapter
* 2 sticks of ram:1) 256mbddr400 2)256mbddr333
* 300watt frisby power supply

Computer Hang After Click Restart
I just got finished reassembling my computer after doing an overhaul and it is doing some weird stuff. I thought it might be the fact that i have 8gb of memory installed and i am still running 32bit vista ultimate (i am about to install windows 7 64bit ultimate)
The computer would hang after i clicked restart. The computer would go to the shutdown screen and then it would go blank, but the computer would not reboot. The odd thing is that it would shutdown just fine, but it would not restart. I just installed an update that it wanted to do at shutdown and it seems to be restarting now. However, now it is giving me a cpu freq. Of 1. 33ghz and fsb of 1333. I have not changed any cpu settings in the bios and intel speed step is disabled. It should be at 2. 66ghz for a q9450, which is what it was when it would not restart on its own. Any ideas?
Overhaul of asus rampage formula motherboard x48
1) installed intel x-25m 160gb g2 drive (secondary drive right now & empty)
2) installed 4gb of ram (brings total to 8gb installed)
3) installed heatsink backplate for ocz vendetta 2
4) unmounted and remounted processor
5) installed new psu corsair hx750 professional series

Computer Shuts Off At Random, Then Restart
My computer suddenly started shutting off, then, after a second or two, restarting - as if i turned it off and on. There are no error messages in the log files. In the bios, i set it not to restart, but it does. The only thing that shows up in bios error logs is keyboard not connected - but i have a saitek that i connected months ago. (Long enough for the darn key caps to start wearing off. ) The keyboard shows up in the device manager. The problem became evident when i tried to upgrade webroot spyware - and the update just took off and hogged 97% of my system resources, forcing me to shut it down and remove it. I've cleaned everything in the tower. Removed and replaced the conductivity jell on the heat sink for the chip. Removed the side of the tower and added a desk fan to blow into it. Bios reports temps running around 158 to 160 degrees. All fans are functional. Have run spybot s&d to check for problems. Have cleaned the registry with 3 different registry cleaners. Used advanced windows care v2 to repair problems. I use aol landline, not dsl or cable, as an isp.system shuts down and restarts at short intervals when i first turn it on in the morning. The intervals later grow longer, ranging between 30 minutes and 8 hours. Sometimes, even that interval shortens. Please don't tell me it's my motherboard! Btw, system is 4 years old. Built specifically with a huge power supply at a reputable computer store. It's not off the shelf.configuration: windows xp internet explorer 7. 0

Computer Randomly Shut Off
Certain actions cause my computer to completely shutdown. Occasionaly going to a blue screen and sometimes not. The actions that cause this include playing certain video games, watching videos, and other actions. Regular web surfing does not cause a shutdown. Somebody mentioned to me that i could have fried my r. A. M or something. I really have no idea. My computer is a p4 with at least 256 ram maybe 512.

Computer Going Into Stand By Randomly
I recently removed the old 20gb hard drive i was using and replaced it with an 80gb drive. Installed xp, my drivers, games, etc. Without any problem (also installed sp2, which i didn't have before). But then my computer started going into stand by (or it might be hibernation, it doesn't actually say) mode at random times, even when i'm using my computer. Of course first i checked the power options to make sure it wasn't set to go off. Then i checked the bios, and reinstalled my mobo and video card drivers. But none of that solved anything. My next thought was it could be the power supply, but i don't know how to check if the ps is going bad. Any suggestions on what else i could check to solve this.

Computer Shutdown Randomly
I built my computer a few years ago and have had no problems (p4). Today it decided to shutdown randomly. I tried rebooting but it would turn on like it was going to start but bios would not post and it would shut down after about 5 seconds. My first inclination was that it was a failing power supply. Replaced that without any luck. The odd thing is that when i plug in both power components from the ps to the mobo it turns on and after five seconds turns off;
Yet, when i do not have the 12v 4pin plugged in, the computer stays running, although it does not load windows. I checked the ram, light on mobo is on, nothing smells fried, i'm hoping it is not the mobo.

Computer Randomly Turns On
My comp is possesed. (You would know if you have seen some of the other problems i have with this comp too)
So my computer more or less randomly turns on during the day or night. Sometimes when i get home from school it is on (nobody uses it, and the screen is like it should be when it first turns on)
Sometimes when i wake up in the morning it is on. The only partial logical explination i came up with is that sometimes when i turn stuff on such as my bedside lamp it will turn on. Im thinking this has somthing to do with. I dunno. A small surg of power going into the comp when turning the lamp off making the comp turn on. Only problem with that is that my comp is plugged into a battery. Also somtimes it will randomly turn on when i walk by it. Is my computer possesed?

Computer Is Randomly Rebooting Itself
I was using my comp all day today with no problems. I started up eq2, and was ending some tasks which i always do. Now my computer is randomly rebooting itself constantly for the past 15 minutes, making a beep when it does. Any idea what the *** is going on with it?

Computer Restarts And Freezes Randomly
I recently formatted my computer with xp and now its freezing and restarting randomly. I doubt that its a virus or trojan because there is nothing installed except the window updates. Before it restarts a blue error screen flashes, but it's too fast for me to see what it saids. My geforce 8800gtx idles at 70c, is that a normal temp? If you need any more info just ask.

Computer Shuts Off Randomly, But Infrequently
I initially ran it with an antec 450w smartpower (pulled from a sonata ii). By march, the system had randomly shut down a 2 or 3 times on me. It's just a spare system and isn't being monitored constantly, so i haven't been able to see these crashes take place-i would come to the system, and it would be powered down. Hitting the power button brought it back, no questions asked. It seemed like the psu was the obvious culprit, so i swapped it for the thermaltake around this time. It had been rock solid since then, running 24/7 without a hitch. However, this afternoon, the same thing happened again. Does this sound like a defective motherboard, or do i just have bad luck with psus?

Computer Randomly Shutting Off / Crashing
I've been having a bit of a problem with my new rig. I built it about 2 months ago (thanks to your guys' advice) and so far it has been working flawlessly, except for one thing. I have been getting completely random crashes, like someone pushed the power button on my rig. I'll just be doing something and "poof" the computer is off. Sometimes when this happens it will keep happening when i try to restart it at completely random intervals. Sometimes it will run for 30 seconds, and other times 5 minutes. I have reset the cmos multiple times to no avail. Here are my specs:
Evga x58 sli le int 1366
Diamond hd5850
Seagate 1tb hdd
Coolermaster haf-922 case
Antec truepower new 750w psu
Intel i7 920
Ocz ddr3 gold 6gb 1600

Troubleshooting A Computer That Randomly Shuts Down
I am going to be troubleshooting what is causing my cousin's computer to shutdown randomly. Just looking for good ways to troubleshoot and what would most likely be causing it. Right now my main suspect is the psu, but i am still not 100% on that. The computer only shuts down when he was playing age of empires 3. Really the only game he plays, so i can't say if that game was the only one causing.could be anywhere from 5 minutes to a couple hours before it happened. I did do a few searches to see if it was just the game. I got a few hits (4500 on google), but it could just be people only playing that game at that time. I would find it odd if it was just aoe3 causing this too. Trouble shooting that i have done so far. I ran both orthos and furmark at the same on the computer for 30 minutes trying to see any over heating or if the computer crashed. I figured this was one of the most intensive test i could put on the computer. Nothing happened either. Gpu reported a temp of 75 *c max and cpu reported 50 *c max. Going to do a gaming session to see if anything happens next. Vga drivers are up to date. After running both orthos and furmark i am convinced there is not a heat issue at the moment anyway. I did not see any of the snow effect on the furmark rendering to show if the vga was dying. If the system does stop randomly on me i'll throw in my psu from my computer to see if the problem persists. Thoughts?
Specs:
Intel e5200 @ 2. 5ghz no oc

Ocz 600w psu

Computer Restarts Randomly In Windows 7
This problem i'm having has utterly stumped me. I'm pretty pc tech savvy and i've gone through all the normal means to solve/resolve this problem but here it goes. I have a newly built (and recently rebuilt) system using 'some' of the same hardware (hd, mb and processor are the same, everything else is new) and i'm getting a restart issue that happens somewhat at random. I'll explain somewhat later but for the most part, its completely random and i do not get a blue screen of death. Anyways, the new computer specs are as followed. Specs:
-Windows 7 home premium 64-bit (fresh install)
-Intel core i5 processor 750 @ 2. 67ghz
-Msi p55-gd65 motherboard (stock/standard installation, no overclocking)
-2 ddr3-1333 2gig sticks of memory (4 total)
-Geforce gts 250 1gb ddr3 (upgraded from a geforce 8600 gtx 512meg)
-250gig maxtor hd
*Description of problem/history*
This restarting issue occurred soon after i upgraded my mainboard/processor/memory combination. (I don't get the bsod) the problem typically happens when i'm downloading something, browsing the net or using the avg virus scan feature.rarely happens when the pc is just idle. Note: using large programs such as photoshop, playing games like wow or oblivion typically do not trigger this restart problem. I can play for hours perfectly fine. But i can do a cold boot into windows, open firefox and look at one page on cnn and the pc restarts after a total of 4 minutes being on. Now, when the restart occurs, it just blanks the monitor for a few seconds and i see the boot screen again followed by a "do you want to boot into safe mode" screen afterwards. On occasion, the system will freeze instead of restart causing the speakers to blare static/white noise (this happens when i'm watching a dvd, avi file, youtube video, etc. ) And a forced reset is required. I have taken the following measures thus far. -Occasionally the date/time needs to be reset/fixed from a sudden restart. I've replaced the cmos battery with a new one with no resolve. -I've had the 2 ddr3 memory sticks tested 3 times using the vista memory tester at system start-up. Tests came back with no issues/errors. -Upgraded the older 550watt power supply to 650watt ps. No change
-Brand new mid-tower case with 2-220mm fans and 2-180mm fans with great circulation.core temp is steady around 110*f no change (pretty sure it was never an overheating issue)
-Called up msi tech support (still under warranty) and we performed a main-board bios update (no resolve) and a few system tests and the tech deemed the mb to be working as intended. I'm looking for any suggestions/tips or retracing any steps that i have missed in my quest to resolve this annoying issue. One tech site suggested that it could be the hard drive causing these problems but several system scans report that there are no bad sectors. I've attempted to us maxblast 5 to make a hd disk image and transfer to new 500gb hd. Image was created just fine but restart/freeze occurs every time on "restore" process. 6 months ago additional details *update*
Forgot to mention, i've disabled the "automatic restart" under system failure option. I'm running win7 with current patches/updates. I've ran a registry cleaner and cleaned things up a bit. All no resolve. Addition bit of information is that when my does does suddenly restart, the boot up takes longer than normal as the boot text has to slowly detect each of my 4 sata hard drives. After the final one, i see for a mere split second a system recovered error message that i have yet to time perfectly with the /pause/break/ key on my keyboard. 6 months ago: aniceto* video card is brand new *2 weeks old* yet problem has been present on both old/new card for approximately 4 months. I did perform a similar suggest memory cleaning test back in early jan but as stated above, problem occurred on a brand new mb, memory, processor purchase prior to it accumulating dust. Thanks for suggestions, got any more?

Computer Is Randomly Opening / Closing Windows
I seem to have a very annoying, blood boiling problem, my computer is randomly opening/closing windows, mainly windows media player and help (any help, depending on what program i'm using, as if i were to press f1). It also randomly types "-64" or that in different combinations such as "6444444444" like a repetitive keystroke. When these things occur my system sounds a high pitched bleep, as it would if alot of keys were pressed at once. It has even deleted text i have written, and i find myself having to copy text, so if i loose it i can paste it back in. It looked to me like a virus, but i've ran norton full sys' scan and no viruses were found, i doubted it would be a virus anyway because i reformatted my hard drive very recently and the comp has only been online for about 4 days after the reformat (only sites visted were google, gmail, ebay, microsoft). The reason i think it has something to do with my keyboard is because of the evidence i've picked up such as repetive keystrokes, key bleeps etc. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem could be?

Computer Randomly Restarts Cause Of Cpu Temperature
Just trying to see what an optimal temperature for a computer should be. I came across a computer that randomly restarts, once restarted, it'll still work again for awhile, but then restart again. In the bios, it's detecting the cpu temp at 85 c (or 170-185 f) and the mb temp is showing roughly 40 c (which i figure is good), the cpu temp is what i'm wondering about. This is a p4 3. 4ghz running win xp pro.

Computer Randomly Reboots - Monitors Blackout
My computer randomly reboots once or twice a day. Sometimes twice in a row and that is that, but i noticed something strange that it only happens when i am browsing the web regardless of the browser that i am using. Now this could be complete coincidence, but it never happens when i am gaming as of yet. I also ran prime 95 and stressed tested my system for a solid hour with no reboots at all. I have left my system on for days and my system temps were all completely normal until while browsing the web for a few hours after clicking a link; bam reboot. I also went into system properties in my computer and turned off "automatically restart" just to see if there could be a blue screen, but nope. My monitors black out as if somebody other than myself went and hit the reset button on my case. It reports no other error, but that. I just reformatted and hopefully i will be stable, but i doubt it. Worries me that it only happens when i am browsing the web. Any advice or suggestions would be most appreciated.

Computer Randomly Download Big Files
I have a windows xp home edition, but more importantly i have verizon wireless internet card. My amount of information that can be sent and received is limited a month. Ever since this morning my computer has been downloading crazy amounts of things. Yet when i look to see what it is in task manager it doesn't say anything is running. I checked the process tab and nothing seems out of the ordinary. I'm at my wits end. I'm fairly capable with computers, but when it comes to technical things im completely in the dark. I've ran avg virus scan (after updated which took 3 hours since my connection is being hogged by some other download) and ad-aware. Both found a few minor things that were removed. A back door something and a few trojins and malware. But it still continues to download insane amounts of information. I'm not sure if this is related, but whenever i try to play an audio mp3 windows media player 11 suddenly freezes up, but if it has nothing to do with said problem i can live without it. If it is somehow tied together that would be awesome. As i've typed this up i've burned 101mb's. 5 minutes and 101mb's burned. I only get 5gigs a month. Please for the love of yemma.

Power Supply Problem - Computer Randomly Freezes
My computer randomly freezes from time to time. It seems like when i multitask or access my secondary hard drive it occurs most frequently. Also, when i try to put in two memory sticks in the computer it does not work, but it only works with one (both sticks work individually). I have the silverstone zeus 850w power supply and the specs in my sig.could the power supply be the problem, if so is there any way i can check?

Computer Randomly Shut Off, Needs Cmos Reset To Boot Again
To further explain the topic title, the machine (in sig) will randomly just shut off for no reason while it's on, or just "die" while it's off and refuse to power back on at all - no fans spinning, no post, no nothing, until i perform a cmos reset. Flipping the psu switch on and off does nothing to help the problem either. Whenever the system "dies" the clock in bios and windows will freeze and consequently display the time of death when i'm able to boot the machine up again. This started happening around monday afternoon. Current os is windows 7 since i ended up reformatting anyway trying to fix this issue - all of a sudden my legitimate windows xp claimed i had "major hardware changes" and thus needed to re-activate wga. I ended up installing a diagnostic program of some sort from at&t to figure out what was going on with m dsl connection at the same since that wasn't working either right before the restart that gave me the wga failure prompt (and i couldn't validate because of the dsl being dead at the time), and i'm certainly hoping that program had nothing to do with this. Last thing i was doing before that was just memtesting ram which didn't get any errors overnight. The red led light on the motherboard is still active as long as the switch on the psu is turned on. I can still change the clock in bios/windows after reviving the system with a cmos reset and it'll continue to work as normal. The time it takes to die again can be anywhere from 4 hours to about 20 hours as of what i've experienced so far. Only spare parts i have left is some more ram so i'll be switching that out now and hoping for the best, but in the event that doesn't work, does anyone have suggestions on possible culprits and fixes?

Computer Randomly Turns Off, Wont Turn Back On
My computer randomly turns off. It can run prime95 for 15 min without incident, and it can bit-torrent all night long, but it randomly turns off. Generally this happens while doing a non-cpu intensive activity like watching tv shows. After it turns off (as if it was unplugged, no windows shutdown procedure), pressing the power button does not do anything. Upon further inspection, the psu will not jump-start for a few minutes. After that, the psu will jump-start and the machine will boot up. To me, this sounds like a psu problem. I have a corsair tx750. Is this the likely culprit?
(Edit: i probably should give some more information)

Esata Hdd Makes Computer Freeze Randomly
I have a problem when connecting my esata hdd to this motherboard (p5k mobo). Basically i'm using a samsung hdd with an enclosure and i connect it to the pc via a esata cable going to the esata input at the back of the comp. The problem is the computer keeps freezing for like 10-20 seconds randomly while the esata device is connected. If i switch the esata device off (via the enclosure's switch) it works fine. Is this a known issue for this mobo and e-sata?
Also there are so many drivers i cant find which one i need to update as i haven't updated the mobo since i got it like 3 years ago. My mobo is a p5k but on the manual it says p4s533-e.

Error: System Failed Cpu Test - Computer Randomly Shuts Down
Basically, my computer randomly shuts down. Not shuts down through windows, just plain shuts off. Now its been suggested that this is either the power supply or the cpu fan, but i don't know which and really have no idea of that out. I have an antec 350w power supply on an asus p4c800 deluxe and a pentium 4. I am also getting an error message sometimes when i start up (sometimes after the random shutdown, sometimes not) that the "system failed cpu test, " but again i have no idea how to correct this. This isn't as bad because i just try again after that message and the computer boots up fine.
