turn off automatic reboots on error (ctrl panel/system/advanced/startup/automatically restart)

it might be a driver issue

[keef247]

NOPE.now it just BSOD's any other suggestions mate?

[kidzer]

When you get a BSOD, what STOP Code does it give?

e.g. 0x00008E or something like

Edit: and is there any reference in the BSOD to any files of any sort?

[keef247]

yeah think that was along the lines of that code.next time it does it i'll write it down.was gonna but lol i was in middle of important msn convo haha. i've disabled to ?? devices in device manager that wernt "working properly" might sort it if driver issue?

[directhex]

"?" devices have no driver

it's "!" devices that have a problem

[keef247]

yeah can't see any though:S

You tried doing scandisk /F ?

One of my machine had frequent BSOD and a simple scandisk fixed it.

You mean chkdsk /f on an XP machine

Hopefully we can get the STOP code and see what's broked.

[keef247]

GOT THE CODE lasted all last nite and randomly BSOD just now...

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

*** STOP: 0X000000A (0X00000002, 0X0000000 0X804DC986)

[Steve]

That's Windows' way of saying "something broked LOL!"

I.e. that error code is probably the least specific one it could have spit out.

I'd try chkdsk, along with downloading and running memtest86+.

[keef247]

I've just run a chkdsk and a chkdsk /f not sure if the problem is now fixed...guess time will tell

[Splash]

...and if chkdsk don't play I'd start looking at drivers

[keef247]

yeah i think it is a driver issue.but i haven't found any ! next to device manager. only ? but ive disabled them.i always seem to get 2 ?'s when i reformat on both machines and their hardware is different.i use OMEGA drivers as ATi's never seem to install smoothly and i prefer the tweaks from OMEGA.
if the problem persists would you recommend a driver cleaner wipe of my current gfx card drivers (as nforce2 installed fine...) and put latest on again?

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_TO...

Can be a LOT of things.....to much overclocking, too little voltages, bad memory timings, duff hardware, clashes with DVD-ROM drives........the list goes on....

What have you changed recently? Are you running SATA interface as AHCI?

[keef247]

ive got stock settings, no overclocking, all i've changed are time and date and some other things that aren't relevant such as power on by any key etc. i have a 30gb (think its the problem and b0rked possibly..) as master with a dvdrw as slave. then because i wanted to test it i have a 320gb ide and 2 320gb satas on a pci sata/ide card these are taken out of my main rig so i could use them in the meantime whilst my new motherboard is purchased for main rig in which i took them from.
