For the past week I've been experiencing severe problems with my computer
constantly rebooting. The system will either freeze, crash to a blue screen
or spontanously reboot.
My system (was):
ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe
Intel Pentium-4 3.2GHZ
2 x 512mb Kingston PC3500
Antec Tru430 Power Supply
2 x Seagate 160GB SATA
ATI All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro
ATI TV Wonder Pro
Creative Labs Audigy 2
TDK IDE DVD-RW
Tekram SCSI card
Pioneer SCSI DVD-ROM
Sony SCSI CD-RW
Maxtor external 120gb USB
Canon 8000F Scanner
Epson Stylus Photo 1280
Logitech MX-510 Mouse
Microsoft Windows XP Pro (up to date except for SP2).
The system has generally worked fine for over a year. When this problem
started last week I updated all drivers (especially video and chipset),
upgraded BIOSes, etc. I then tried using just 1 stick of memory, swapping
video cards, moving PCI cards, turning off all turbo options in the BIOS,
etc., to no avail.
After getting numerous BSOD messages such as "IRQL less or not equal" and
"Page fault in nonpaged area", I figured that the problem might be related
to the power supply, memory or motherboard failing. So I bought all new
ones.
Didn't help.
I then installed XP Pro from scratch on a new hard drive. Seemed OK, but
then I started installing apps and suddenly the problem cropped up again.
Removed all non-essential hardware. Still continued. So I installed the O/S
from scratch again.
Right now, my system is as follows:
Intel D875PBZ Motherboard (NEW)
Intel Pentium-4 3.2GHZ
2 x 512mb Corsair PC4400 TwinX Memory (NEW)
Ultra 500w Power Supply (NEW)
1 x Seagate 160GB SATA drive (NEW)
ATI All-In-Wonder 8500 128mb (OLD, but known good)
TDK IDE DVD-RW
Logitech MX-510 Mouse
And that's it. I've removed the USB scanner, printer and external drive,
removed the SCSI card, removed the Audigy card, removed the TV Wonder, left
this different video card with XP default drivers, have NO applications
installed on my PC, have installed Intel chipset drivers and updated XP, and
I'm still getting the blasted reboot problems.
Voltages on the power supply seem stable. Temperatures in the PC are good,
with the CPU hovering around 32-35 degrees C.
The event viewer has recorded several save dumps in the past couple of
hours:
0x1000007f (0x00000008, 0xf7afbd70, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
0x1000008e (0xc0000005, 0x804f5660, 0xb2d50c04, 0x00000000)
0x1000008e (0xc0000005, 0x860d7da9, 0xb29fcb6c, 0x00000000)
0x0000000a (0x00000004, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x80516134)
0x0000000a (0xf6e60a74, 0x00000001, 0x00000000, 0x804ff00c)
0x000000d1 (0x00000000, 0x00000007, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
0x000000d4 (0xb2a277bc, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x806bb920)
As well as a warning once:
The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
Fips
Processor
I am utterly stumped at this point. The best I can come up with after so
much work is that the CPU is going bad. Problem is I can't replace it on a
holiday Monday... grrr.
Any thoughts on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
