[Guest Dan_Bee]

While playing online multiplayer games "Shoot em'ups" affter about 20 min's

The pc shuts off instantlly with a blue screen flash with error message

 

the setup i use:

psu tagan TG1100-U95 1100W ATX2.01 Turbojet

mobo MSI-K8 Dimond plus v1 nF chipset PCIE/cpu.amd 3500 skt 939

2GB Corsair XMS3200 pro non-ecc 512 x4

x4 SATA 250GB WD,HDD's

X2 Nvidia Geforce 6600GT PCI E X16 graphics cards

 

The system is never overclocked and standard bios setup

worked 100% for over a year

 

I can reboot at once and windows loads as normal with the standard popup

Recoverd from a serus error ,the manifest reads as follows

 

Server=watson.microsoft.com

UI LCID=1033

Flags=1696082

Re: Blue Screen Error HELP!

 

Hi, Dan_Bee.

 

The log file is helpful, but the best clue to your problem is probably the

Stop code on the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). Unfortunately, Microsoft sets

the default for "what to do on system failure" to "automatically restart" -

and the restart happens so quickly that we never get a chance to read the

BSOD. So one of the first things that I always do after installing Windows

is change that default!

 

Go to Control Panel | System and click Advanced System Settings (you'll need

your Administrator password to get past here). On the next Advanced tab,

click Settings under Startup and Recovery. This gets you finally to the

page where you can remove the check from that Automatically restart line,

then OK your way out.

 

The next time, your computer will still abort, but it will halt with that

BSOD onscreen, giving you all the time you need before you press the

hardware Restart button. Copy down that Stop code - verbatim - along with

the line of hex codes and any other text that might be there. It might be

gibberish to you (and to me), but it will mean a lot to the gurus here who

know how to read it. They can point you in the right direction.

Re: Blue Screen Error HELP!

 

Thanks' for advice, I have now found the problem, It was one of the sticks of

Ram

I noticed the active led's on one of the 4 mod's was out of sync' with the

other 3

So i swaped the 4 mod's with Kingston HyperX of the same spec' and all was

fine again.

Thanks

Re: Blue Screen Error HELP!

 

You either need to supply the error code and message from the blue screen or

the error code and message from the mini-dump (not the dump) If you auto

restart, uncheck in system/advanced/startup and recovery

Hi, John.

 

Are you subscribed directly through the msnews.microsoft.com server? Or

through a "slurping" server that just "slurps" the messages from that host

server and passes them on?

Re: Blue Screen Error HELP!

 

Hi, Dan_Bee.

 

Thanks for the report back. Good detective work! ;<)

 

But you might want to change that default setting from Automatically

restart, anyhow, for the time when another of Vista' rare BSODs appears.

Re: Blue Screen Error HELP!

 

Again thanks' I took your advice and changed the default from Automatic

restart

as this makes sence if it happens again, or for any other blue screen error

problem.

 

I knew i t could be done from "F8"key exstended menu while booting, as i

have done so on other systems in the past , "thats fine if you are getting

blue screens from boot" before you enter windows.

Why do M.S use the default "Not to show error message?"

It would be a lot easyer for users to find the help they need with this info

in hand?.

Re: Blue Screen Error HELP!

 

Hi, Dan_Bee.

> Why do M.S use the default "Not to show error message?"

 

Well, it DOES show - but then restarts instantly before we can see more than

a blue flash on the screen. And this is most definitely NOT a "BUG".

Microsoft does this intentionally. It has been brought to their attention

innumerable times. They still think this is the right default.

 

The only reason I can think of for this behavior as the default is what we

all probably learned in our first week of computing: MANY computing

glitches are momentary things that can be cured by simply rebooting the

computer. So, MOST of the time, the automatic restart will get the show

back on the road - without any call to Tech Support or other hassle.

 

But there are the times when the automatic restart does NOT fix the problem.

THAT's when we need to be able to read the Stop code.

Re: Blue Screen Error HELP!

 

I'm not disageeing, if there really is a 'why', perhaps we should consider

the language problem? Right now, there are three uses of 'default' that

comes to mind - you have the Legal use; the Sporting use; the Computer use.

 

In the Legal use, if you don't pay your bill, no court will ever process the

claim, it is simply forwarded to you and filed as evidence as a command to

pay.

 

In the Sporting use, if you don't show up for a match, or have put

unregistered players on the team - without any hearing for explanations

(asside from the press) you'll have lost the match.

 

A computer expects a command to do it's thing. If you don't enter a

command - in order for the process not to crash, 'some' reserve command is

executed in order for you to at least have the ability to stop it if you

should so wish, or a way for the process itself to automatically stop

executing gracefully, in the instance when further execution and/or

interaction has become pointless.

 

Often when Computerese is attempted being translated, 'default' comes out

the other end as 'standard'. Indeed, many conscientious programmers are

bending over backwards to keep their processes running in the most sensible

manner adapted to the functioning of the human brain and do invent and/or

follow a sort of 'standardized' semi-meaningfull sequence of defaults to

mimic 'intelligence'.

 

I don't assume much effort is spent if you've defaulted the machine to

re-boot - there are configuration options in place to logging and

streamlining the booting process to your own liking, so I think we shall

probably have to be content with being on our own - except for the lucky

instance when we can help each other out!
