Hi

 

Welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help.

 

Could you give us some more info.

 

What do you do before it crashes, or is it random? Do you have Service Pack 2 or 3?

 

Can you go into safe mode?

[mac]

its copletly random i can go into safemode yes and im kinda new with computers dunno what service pack i have

[KenB]

Hi mac,

 

Start > Run ...type in....winver....OK

This should tell you which service pack you have.

 

Right click on My Computer > Properties > Advanced

Click on "Settings" next to Startup / Recovery

Uncheck "Auto Restart" under "System failure"

 

This should give you an error message next time your system crashes.

 

if you can post it here it may give some hint as to the cause of your problem.

[mac]

i have service pack1 and my error msg says "stop:0x0000007f"

[Guest Wolfeymole]

Did the shop tell you what the problem was when you took it in before?

[mac]

no they didnt.

[Guest Wolfeymole]

Give them a bell and ask what happened last time then let us know, it gives us a better insight you see.

 

Have you never had Windows Updates turned on as XP is now on Service Pack 3?

[mac]

i recently just reformated my pc so

[mac]

called the shop they said that they dont remember and have just updated there systems and lost my information so there not very useful

i think the problem is with my drivers are there any programs u would recomend for drivers?

[Guest Wolfeymole]

So are you saying you formatted and installed XP again and are still having problems?

 

Can we have a bit more than one line of dialogue please Mac.

[mac]

thats right i formatted and installed XP again

sorry about the lack of information

[Guest Wolfeymole]

Ok get all updates from Microsoft immediately.

 

What is the make and model of your PC or is it a handmade affair?

[mac]

its a mesh not too sure of the model called my brouther who owned the pc before me but hes not pciking up..... and the updates dont seem to be starting. also crashing alot so cant do much.

[mac]

just wanna say im a retard but really am grateful for the help

OK, mac, Can you run a check disk?

To do so click start, then run, type in the box " chkdsk " and click OK.

Let us know any results.

[mac]

it checked my disks and then just closed

[Plastic Nev]

OK mac, sorry but I missed a bit out, I should have asked you to use cmd first.

 

1. Click Start, and then Run.
   
2. In Open, type cmd, and then press ENTER.
   
3. Use one of the following procedures:
   
   • To run Chkdsk in read-only mode, at the command prompt, type chkdsk, and then press ENTER.
     
   • To repair errors without scanning the volume for bad sectors, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume:/f, and then press ENTER.
      
     Note If one or more of the files on the hard disk are open, you will receive the following message: Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)
     Type Y, and then press ENTER to schedule the disk check, and then restart your computer to start the disk check.
     
   • To repair errors, locate bad sectors, and recover readable information, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume:/r, and then press ENTER.
      
     Note If one or more of the files on the hard disk are open, you will receive the following message: Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)
     Type Y, and then press ENTER to schedule the disk check, and then restart your computer to start the disk check.

Please don't make a new thread which relates to your original one Mac.

Possibilities:

 

Low-level hardware corruption, such as corrupt memory (RAM)

Mismatched memory modules

A malfunctioning motherboard

 

You can try to update drivers from the computer or mainboards manufaturers website.

 

Are you running: Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 8.0 and NSI Software's Double-Take.

 

I sugest you run this as per instructions:

EDIT:

 

Power off computer.

 

Remove all RAM sticks,place one stick in slot nearest CPU/Processor.

 

Reboot see what happens.

 

Remove that stick and place in another,reboot see what happens do this for each stick individualy.
