SOLVED. After pulling out memory modules one at a time, swapping memory modules, disabling onboard Intel video and putting in a video card and pulling all add on cards I'd tried seemingly everything. I was just about to look up a number for Gigabyte when I figured "well, why not replace the...

I'm just completing a new system build that is suddenly giving me bootup problems. About 50% of the time when the power switch is pushed the motherboard and fans come to life but the BIOS does not kick in. The monitor green active light comes on but the screen remains black. The other 50% of...

Hi all. It's been 3 or 4 years since I put my last desk PC together so I thought I'd ask for some component guidance before undertaking a new project. I've always had good luck with Gigabyte motherboards, and also think pretty highly of Asus boards. As such my first choice would be Gigabyte...

Hi all, My wife is really sensitive to PC fan noise and operating noise. Several years ago I built her an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0 ghz system with 2 gig of RAM and Windows XP Home. I put this in a Nexus sound insulated case from EndPCNoise.com. It is running Windows XP Home and is...

I have a old PC that runs a small machine. The drive program runs in DOS but the PC also has Windows 3.1 on it. Everything runs fine and there is no need to upgrade the PC to something more modern. It is a very simple machine that reads one line of code at a time. My only problem is that I...

I'd have to have the pc running in safe mode for all week to see if it did or didn't happen in safe mode. That is not an option I'm afraid. Last time it happened was on Monday I believe. Fine all week after that. BH

I've done done reading here on Save Dump errors so have a bit of an understanding on what may be going on. This happens periodically. Computer is going along fine and then .......suddenly......for no apparent reason it reboots. Maybe once a week on average. This is the Event Logger message...
