Re: What could be the cause



Are the cards in each machine the same?

If so you could swop them over, that should tell you something.

I guess if it crashes with a different card in it tells you it is not the
card.
If the other machine crashes with that card you have the culprite!!

Maybe it is the drivers, but if as you they work on the other machine,
there
must be more too it.

I am assuming they are the same card model.

Dunno if you can swop memory too?

Nope AFAIK its not overheating,

I'm pretty sure the ram isnt the prob. It has only been crashing say in
the 2-3 weeks.

And the ram thats in it, has been there for 2yrs +

And has been fine no prob till now.

But, I'll do a check with memtest or MS's windiag program to see what one
of these say

It just seems funny that its these annoying ATI drivers, everytime it does
crash (when you see something), its pointing to different ATI driver
files. It doesnt matter what version I use, it crashes

I dont overclock, so its definitely not that.

The videocard fan was a bit dusty the other week, so I removed it and
cleaned it out. It still crashed.

I'll try reseating the ram and CPU. Theres only 2 cards in it (a modem,
and the vidcard). The vidcard is in properly.

Thanx

Maybe it is related to hardware, like my problem the other day?
Can't do any harm to check everything is seated correctly, cards
mamory etc.
Would it appear to be related to heat rellated?
Seem a bit similar to the symptoms I got when I over clocked
my old computer. Although I think I got reboots.

If you get a BSOD, but there's no text??

On the other computer here, this has happened 2-3 times in the last 2-3
weeks.

It seems to be intermittent. Sometimes, it'll bring up a BSOD with the
drivers / stop error etc, and sometimes, the screen is blue and blank,
and there's nothing on the screen?

I'm pretty sure the main cause, is the ATI drivers.

But, I've tried the ATI drivers, and ASUS drivers. BOTH crash. The funny
thing is, I've installed and use both on this system, and its never
crashed

It has only crashed whle playing games like bejeweled, Gin, and te other
day on a website, while the person was on it. The games are that graphic
intensive. The card is an ASUS 9550 256mb.

Most days its fine (besides the above).

And lately it keeps on coming up with your system has recovered from a
serious error.

Heres a few of the logs for the crashes
