[Solved] Computer crashing unless in Safe Mode
Fed replied to Fed's topic in Tech Support & Discussions Forum
Right, i currently have all 4 RAM's in and it seems to be running fine. Hopefully I'm not jumping the gun here, but it looks like i'm back in business. Just wanted to say thank you very much for all the assistance, very much appreciated guys, i wouldn't have had a clue what to do on my own. Cheers! -

I haven't had time to toy around with different configurations, but here's some pics of how I currently have it set up which seems to be running fine. Also a close up of one of the RAM's i've removed... [ATTACH=CONFIG]1001.vB5-legacyid=1905[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]1002.vB5-legacyid=1906[/ATTACH] -

I've swapped the pair taken in/out now and the computer is running at normal speed, if not a little quicker than i remember? That said it's been a couple of weeks since it ran properly so maybe my memory is hazey! Would this suggest it's the combination of both sets of ram working together causing an issue? Having left it running too long yet but hasn't frozen up yet. I'm working from home tomorrow so will try and give it some proper running time then. Thanks -

Evening all, So, I've opened her up and taking out what i presume is one of the RAM's, well in fact i've taken out a pair, there seems to be two sets of two, does that sound right? The good news is that although the pc is running slower, i am now writing this without being in safe mode and the pc hasn't crashed in the entire it's been running (15 minutes). Should I check the other RAM? Does having 4 sound right? Or are they in pairs? I managed to finally access the C:\Users\Nick\AppData folder but the files weren't in there... Thanks for your help yet again. -

I can't get any further then C:\Users\Nick\ there isn't an ''AppData'' Folder. As for the bleep... It is just a short beep evenly spaced apart that continues until i cold boot. I've tried several programmes that read the temperature the pc is running at but none of the seem to be able to run properly, i can only assume this is something to do with my problems issue. I've tried Speccy, Speedfan, CPUid & Everest. I've attached what little data was offered from CPUid. As for the yellow exclamation marks, there were none. I'm afraid you've lost me on ''RA modules'' :confused: Also i'm only running one piece of security software [ATTACH=CONFIG]1000.vB5-legacyid=1904[/ATTACH] Thanks -

She's fired up now but i can't even find these files, let alone access them... C:\Users\Nick\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-70621-0.sysdata.xml C:\Users\Nick\AppData\Local\Temp\WERAB6B.tmp.versi on.txt I restarted and I had another similar report come up and the contents of it does vary slightly, want me to post that as well? -

I haven't yet successfully been able to turn my computer on today. It crashed before I even got to sign in earlier - the screen just turned off and the computer just made bleeps at me until i cold booted it. Since then if I turn it on the fan just runs really loudly without anything at all happening so I just have to cold boot it again. This happened last week, hopefully in a few hours i'll be able to get it running again. -

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this, I've ended up being anywhere but home to be able to deal with this. I couldn't see how to find out the temperatures of any of the above...it doesn't seem entirely obvious (to me anyway!) how to get that info. Earlier on after my computer crashed (Blue Screen) before id logged in it gave me this error report once i'd restarted in safe mode - not sure if it is of any use to anyone? As always, any help is much appreciated!

I've managed to install Everest and it seems to be running okay. What data do i need to pick out for you? -

Also, for a long time now I've only been able to get data come up about Optical Drives, Audio, Peripherals & Network. It might just be taking a while but i suspect I might have jumped the gun in saying we might be in business -

Not sure if i'm being a bit simple but I can't see a general tab? -

If i ignore the error message i can still use the Speccy software. Where do i get the temperatures that things are running at? We might be in business... -

Still no joy i'm afraid. Getting the same error message. Do you know of any similar pieces of software I can download? -

Hi, Thanks for the response, really appreciate it! I ran the speccy but it stopped running and shut itself down after a couple of minutes with this error message ''CPU dll init failed (error 2)! Some information will not be displayed!'' It now does the same thing every time after i open it. I did the other thing and had no yellow exclamation marks. Is there anything else you know i can try? Thanks -
There seems to be no obvious trigger to whats causing it to crash. I turn it on and normally once i reach my desktop the screen will have froze. Sometimes i manage to get to open a programme like itunes or chrome and then it freezes up. I've had a variety of types of crash as well - blue screen, frozen screen, freezes which have bleeps with them, others where the screen has gone blank, freezes where i can't even hold down the power button to cold boot it and have had to simply yank the plug out. I manged to run a full windows security essentials scan on it and it didn't find anything wrong. I've been able to run on ''safe mode with networking'', however this is still occasionally crashing as well. I'm not really sure where to even start, hopefully someone can give me some pointers? Thanks
