YoKenny Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Install a more powerful power supply. The current power supply is under powered so installing an enhanced power supply should fix the problem "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." - Albert Einstein IE7Pro user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjLizard Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Or it could be any other random bad hardware. Start with a memory test program first, as it doesn't involve needlessly buying random parts. You can make a bootable CD-ROM or bootable floppy via that link. Let it get to Pass: 5 before hitting escape. It should take up to 2 hours to get that far. Also, what kind of crash is it? Does the program crash? Does Windows reboot instantly? Is there a blue screen of death? Configure your computer to create crash dumps: Start > Run > control sysdm.cpl,,3 > Startup and Recovery > Settings > uncheck "Automatically restart" and set "Write debugging information" to "Small memory dump (64 KB)". The dump directory is usually set to %SystemRoot%\Minidump If you find any files in C:\WINDOWS\Minidump after getting a blue screen of death, PM me and I'll tell you where you can email them so I can debug them and find out what's wrong.
