ok i just upgraded some ram, cleaned out the inside with a can of spray
i also disabled some programs in the startup config
now it starts up to windows and runs for about 30 secs
and then does a memory dump
ive swiched out the ram and it still does it,
any ideas

power supply dying?

i doubt it but im gonna try

Being able to read the blue screen would help.

Right click on My Computer, select Properties and then the Advanced tab.

Click on Settings under 'Startup and Recovery' and then uncheck 'Automatically restart'.

Hopefully you can do this quick enough - this will allow you to see what module or process is causing the crash instead of it just rebooting.

oh yeah i did that and i got the error

0x00000004,0x00000001,0xe363f7a0,0x006b0020

i forgot where on the net to get the info, it gets nothing on google

this is my landlord's computer so id really appreciate some info


the funny thing is if i leave it on the login screen then it just stays there, but if i log in it stays on for about 30 seconds, ive tried disabling all startup programs,

i would say related to the ram

i had installed some faulty ram and had all types of issues with random reboots. make sure you didn't exceed your allowable ram for the mobo and that the type of ram is compatible with your mobo

well i saw you switched out the ram, so ignore this

does it still reset with the old ram???

4/7/2006 7:04:59 PM

yep, ive take out all the new ram and it still does it,

im trying a few things, diagnostic start up, disable all startup...

4/7/2006 7:59:40 PM

did you clear your CMOS after you swapped the ram?

4/8/2006 1:15:09 AM

no

do you mean when i added the new ram or when i took it back out?
