I am very interested to see any results or ideas on this topic. Because I am having the exact same problem. I do not believe that its a malware, virus or spyware problem. I am leaning towards driver issues. But dont have the proof.

Hello, I am moving this to XP. I suspect a hardware ,perhaps Memory problem.

Please create your own topic, N-o-i-d. Your problem may not be caused by the same things as jose_007's problem, and the solution will likely be different. Also, it gets confusing trying to help two people in the same topic. So please create your own topic and we will be glad to help you.

Jose, please do the following so we can begin to diagnose your problems:

Download BlueScreenView
No installation required.
Double click on BlueScreenView.exe file to run the program.
When scanning is done, go Edit>Select All.
Go File>Save Selected Items, and save the report as BSOD.txt.
Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all content, and paste it into your next reply.

As I am always interested in having useful programs downloaded in case of need, I tried the provided link.
ZoneAlarm Anti-virus is reporting that www.nirsoft.net as a known spyware site. Since BC is very well trusted, should I trust that site or the ZA warning?

I do not use ZoneAlarm, so I cannot comment on it's credibility. Bluescreenview is used everyday here at BC by dozens of helpers (including myself). I also use other programs from Nirsoft with no problems. So I would have to say ZA is a little over-protective (false positive).

Normally, I would advise against downloading anything meant for another person's problem, but as you said about having useful programs....Bluescreenview is a very useful utility in diagnosing BSOD's. Always handy to have around.

If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me in order to not create more confusion in Jose's topic.

keyboardNinja,

First of all ,thanks for replying

Here is the requested report

Thanks

Wow, that's a lot of BSOD's in the past year.

You may have bad RAM.

***** A. If you have more than one RAM module installed, try starting computer with one RAM stick at a time.

NOTE Keep in mind, the manual check listed above is always superior to the software check, listed below. DO NOT proceed with memtest, if you can go with option A

B. If you have only one RAM stick installed...
...run memtest...

1. Download - Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO (.zip)
2. Unzip downloaded memtest86+-....iso.zip file.
3. Inside, you'll find memtest86+-....iso file.
4. Download, and install ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/
5. Insert blank CD into your CD drive.
6. Open ImgBurn, and click on Write image file to disc
7. Click on Browse for a file... icon:



8. Locate memtest86+-....iso file, and click Open button.
9. Click on ImgBurn green arrow to start burning bootable memtest86 CD:



10. Once the CD is created, boot from it, and memtest will automatically start to run.

The running program will look something like this depending on the size and number of ram modules installed:




It's recommended to run 5-6 passes. Each pass contains very same 8 tests.

This will show the progress of the test. It can take a while. Be patient, or leave it running overnight.



The following image is the test results area:



The most important item here is the “errors” line. If you see ANY errors, even one, most likely, you have bad RAM.

Sir,
I will try to follow the steps and reply soon.....but as per my observation last year this problem occured only in hot months ..and this year too it is occuring at this time when temp is very high....It didnt occur in winters at all...

last yr i resolved it by taking out ram and cleaning it....should i repeat procedure ?
I may be wrong..but please clarify

Also,can I use nero to burn image ?
and please guide me how to boot from CD


Thanks
Jose

It's quite possible that overheating is the cause.

No, don't take the RAM out to clean it. You can, however, use a can of compressed air (available in electronics section of Wal-Mart, or office supply stores) to blow out the interior of the case. This will ensure that your fans have maximum venting capabilities and are not caked in dust.

I don't know if you can use Nero or not. I would prefer you use ImgBurn.

How to boot from CD

If that tutorial is not clear or you can't figure it out, let me know, and I'll give my own instructions (but it should be adequate).

Have you updated any of the drivers on your machine? How old is this machine, and what kind of computer is it?

I was not trying to steal his thread or to make things confusing. I simply found his post and this site yesterday by doing a google search of those exact same files. Figured the thread would be worth following and from what I read was already 10 days old with no posts (and read wrong). So Figured I'd help bump it along.
In my post (I am very interested to see any results or ideas on this topic. Because I am having the exact same problem.) I was acutully talking to Jose so he knew he was not alone with this problem. In the second part (I do not believe that its a malware, virus or spyware problem. I am leaning towards driver issues. But dont have the proof.) I was also responding to his issue Because I'm fairly sure this could not be the issue since my computer is brand new and noway had any of these when It started crashing.



(Please create your own topic, N-o-i-d. Your problem may not be caused by the same things as jose_007's problem, and the solution will likely be different. Also, it gets confusing trying to help two people in the same topic. So please create your own topic and we will be glad to help you. smile.gif)


I do see how it could be confusing and Just may make my own post but for now I'll watch this thread and see how its handled. So far I am impressed. His problem as well as my post have so far been handled both professionally and respectfully. Thank you for the suggestion and hopefully we can chat about my problem later. smile.gif

No problem, N-o-i-d.

Sir,
Sorry for late reply,was busy with studies.

Actually compressed air and brushing of parts helped....PC is OK now.No more crashes


So do i still need to check my RAM or is it fine this way?


Thanks
Jose
