Built Computer won't boot

Bituser · 18 Apr 2011

Wow Guys, thanks for all of this info.

@Mike, I understand what you are getting at, but I would really like to use the parts I have got if I can. If I can't, well that's it for the server.

Just an update, I have got the computer booting into Windows XP fine now. I have installed SP2 and cleaned up various things. It all appears to be running fine. CHKDSK has picked up a problem with the HDD and is trying to fix it now.

I installed Java and thought I miles well give a RAM/CPU intensive application a go, I ran minecraft server. As soon as I connect to the server from another computer I get a BSOD with the error: 0x0000008e . I suspect this might just be the fact that I have 512mb of RAM.

What is something I can run that will push the computer to the limits to see if it is going to die on me?

Really Appreciate it guys +Rep for both of you.

I would upload a BSOD report if I was you: https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...tructions.html

I will do that as soon as CHKDSK is complete. Thanks Dean :).

Bituser · 18 Apr 2011

Alright, CHKDSK completed after a while and fixed all the problems (Would only fix problems when I ran "repair" from Windows XP install disk). CHDSK scans are no longer showing any problems which is a good sign, I hope

.

Dean, I have followed the guide you sent me, here it is:

Set the time/date correctly (the dumps were set back to 2007).
Update to Service Pack 3, firstly ---> How to obtain the latest Windows XP service pack

This sounds like a RAM issue. . .!
I am not used to debug Windows XP files - perhaps someone else knows. . .?

Regards. . .

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: bf80452b, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: f75a9018, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000

I will see if anyone else can confirm this, but I think I'm going to just buy 1 GB ram stick for now.

Does this seem ok?
A-RAM 1GB PC-5300 667MHz DDR2, VALUE series Memory - Desktop Memory DDR2 - Elive.co.nz

I have never head of "A-RAM" before. I would read the reviews FIRST before purchasing it.

Bituser · 18 Apr 2011

I can't seem to find reviews for it. Thats not a good sign

How about this

@Mike, I understand what you are getting at, but I would really like to use the parts I have got if I can. If I can't, well that's it for the server.

Just an update, I have got the computer booting into Windows XP fine now. I have installed SP2 and cleaned up various things. It all appears to be running fine. CHKDSK has picked up a problem with the HDD and is trying to fix it now.

If you have it working that's fine.Well done. If you can get it reliable enough for what you want to do with it, then congratulations. Don't trust anything critical to it before you are certain it is reliable.

Regards....Mike Connor

Do you know what I can do to fully test it?
