| Windows 7: Long-term crashing |
13 Jun 2011
|
#1 | | Windows Enterprise x64 SP1 |
Long-term crashing For what feels like forever my main PC has been crashing every so often. Most of the time it'll just restart, but occasionally (about half a dozen out of about 100 times) I get a BSOD.
Two other oddities are that once it knocked power to the CPU fan out (so when it restarted I got scary red letters telling me my sytem was shutting down to stop it being permamently damage) and once when it crashed my Xbox simultaneously kicked into life across the room!
Windows version is Enterprise x64 (upgraded from bundled Home Premium x64). I've had the machine for just about 12 months now, current version of the OS was installed late last year. I think, but can't remember 100% accurately, that it was crashing before I upgraded. | My System Specs |

When we will find the solution for the BSOD and finish with that i will explain to you why and how

Fair enough.
Can you tell me exactly what I'm doing with CCleaner? I've got options here to delete files or fix the registry - both? Neither & something else? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP OS Windows Enterprise x64 SP1 CPU i5-650 Motherboard MSI Iona Memory 8GB DDR3 Graphics Card Sapphire Radeon 5870 Sound Card Onboard Monitor(s) Displays 2 x Iiyama E2407HDS Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard HP Wireless Mouse HP Mouse PSU Corsair 850W Case Xclio Blackhawk Cooling Standard Hard Drives 60GB OCZ Vertex 2

Thats way you clean any remaining fragments from the uninstalled software/ driver,fragments cause problems.
(if you like do a registry backup before the fix selected issues ) | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built by me.

Okay, that's done. I guess I'll wait and see what happens. The crashes are pretty random, and can be up to a week apart. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP OS Windows Enterprise x64 SP1 CPU i5-650 Motherboard MSI Iona Memory 8GB DDR3 Graphics Card Sapphire Radeon 5870 Sound Card Onboard Monitor(s) Displays 2 x Iiyama E2407HDS Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard HP Wireless Mouse HP Mouse PSU Corsair 850W Case Xclio Blackhawk Cooling Standard Hard Drives 60GB OCZ Vertex 2

A good idea is,from time to time take a look on cpu and system temps in BIOS. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built by me.

Hello again
Crashed again Wednesday night - different error message "Page fault in non page area". Reports attached.
I used to use HW monitor to keep an eye on temperatures but never noticed anything overheating. Of course, I've never managed to be looking at it at the exact moment it crashed, so whether there's a sudden heat surge I don't know.
One other random thing that happens every time it crashes is that it wipes out my cookies (or, at least, logs me out of absolutely every website). | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP OS Windows Enterprise x64 SP1 CPU i5-650 Motherboard MSI Iona Memory 8GB DDR3 Graphics Card Sapphire Radeon 5870 Sound Card Onboard Monitor(s) Displays 2 x Iiyama E2407HDS Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard HP Wireless Mouse HP Mouse PSU Corsair 850W Case Xclio Blackhawk Cooling Standard Hard Drives 60GB OCZ Vertex 2

One other random thing that happens every time it crashes is that it wipes out my cookies (or, at least, logs me out of absolutely every website). This time the error is seehcri.sys,that is a Sony Ericsson error.
The Software driver installed in ur system is very old,is from 2008.
If you dont use that software any more uninstall it,clean with ccleaner,restart.
If you still use it,then,
Download the newest software/driver from http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/supp...ds?cc=gb&lc=en uninstall,clean,restart,install the new software/driver,restart.
----------------------------
Extra check for <cleaning> the system,
Clean ur system with ccleaner,first use the cleaner tab and then the registry tab.
Then,
Download,install,update,scan with http://www.superantispyware.com/down...NTISPYWAREFREE
