Hi to all who helped in this thread.
I got very overwhelmed when the realization hit that I've got perhaps
major
problem and no way to repair or replace, outside of what I can work on.
So, I just came back and reread the whole thread again, and gained a
better
overall picture and you all are just so awesome to help as you did.
I was able to reseat the memory today. Been on some 12 hours no problems
yet; but yesterday video went off an on in a seconds time; did that twice;
then 20 mins later did same but along with sys freeze; again only lasted a
second or two, and that occurred 3 times.
So today reseating the memory.
I found the two fans are running; but I doubt they are doing a good job as
I
see scorch or brown marks on top of the pc cover inside.
Are you sure they are scorch marks, and not just built up dust?
You might try downloading SpeedFan. This has a temp monitor built into it
which should give you an idea of any system temps.
Also reads HDD SMART information.
It could be your CPU heatsink needs a clean and more thermal paste applied.
Does the room temperature vary much? Do problems occur more on hot days
rather than cold.
Yesterday I tried to install the nividia graphics and on install gets to a
message saying my sys has nothing compatible with that driver, which is
incorrect; so that's an area to look into if winds up to need the driver.
Go to the nvidia website and download the latest drivers, then run the setup
file.
If the MS "found new hardware wizard" appears, cancel it and let the nvidia
installer do it's job.
As since the monitor went on and off yesterday and while doing so did not
click; as should do if off; made me think, this is really a memory
problem.
I'm concerned about the 102 error code as one of you said is something to
be
seen to if continues. Haven't seen it since the 14th.
I've got a lot to do as I see from the thread.
This sys is probably quite old; so on the time issue; where was recommened
may need battery; probably do. My date and time I see is fine; but I
imagine
is about an internal date and time.
New motherboard battery is needed usually if your BIOS keeps reseting
itself.
It wouldn't cause the problems you are having.
I just wanted to come back and thank you all very much! I have so much to
work on and just thank you for all the resources and your support.
As did yesterday; will see how sys goes for a day or so and see if runs
without error.
I have a dsl situation; which causes another event error; but need to find
a
dsl tech site to troubleshoot that problem; and event viewer shows an
error
every time I connect the dsl; and not sure if that is a true problem; or
not.
I connect fine. But may be messing up files.
Not likely.
I can not turn off tea timer in spybot; though I've set it to off in
advanced and anywhere else i saw to be off all the time; and no startup;
but
regardless; starts up in tray all the time. It's a problem for me; due to
the pop up messages; and not knowing some times; whether to allow or
disallow. I don't like that it messes with the registry and wish I could
turn it off; and that's a day at that forum.
Why a day? Just uninstall Spybot S&D and if you want, reinstall it and
choose the option to not use teatimer.
As a guide. When you install a program say yes, if you are asked out of the
blue to allow an entry, say no.
If you want to install an activex component, say yes
<snip>
Have you run chkdsk /r to see if there are bad sectors on the disk. Whoever
made your hard disk will have a utility to check the disk.
It does sound like hardware, but till you can swap the PSU or Vid card to
check, it is hard to eliminate anything just yet.
You can try memtest, or microsofts memory diagnostic to see if there is a
problem with the memory.
Look closely at the capacitors, (cannister shaped things) on the
motherboard. And odd smells, or bulging/leaking capacitors are a bad sign.
File corruption can also be a sign of impending HDD failure, so I hope you
are backing your system up.
