Solved Help with bsod,think It's a hardware failure

[ercarlitosg]

Hi to all.About two months ago working with the computer (I haven't bought the gpu).I got now 29 new bsods since 21th Februrary.I have reopened this because I got lots of errors that says it was the ntfs driver and I have checked all the drives with crystal disk info and their smart status are ok.Also,I have got more bsods than I have attached,but because I don't know why it doesn't appears in minidump folder

I put here the bsods attached.I don't know why but SF diagnostic tool crashes on my computer

The same thing after all the time.

And with such an old BIOS/Motherboard, It is all possible. It will remain the same even after two more months.

But now it isn't the gpu no??

It may be anything ... CPU, RAM, HDD, GPU, PSU, Motherboard, any other PnP device.

Unfortunately we cannot test the motherboard, and testing the PSU is risky for the persons not having ample experience in electrical.

 

[ercarlitosg]

I will try another psu that I got and I thinks it will work also i will try the intel burn test

 

[Arc]

Think about the board.

 

[ercarlitosg]

I haven't got a 775 board now and the new that I found is matx and my box is atx.I wiil retire this computer,it has now 6 years.It is time to buy a new one

 

[ercarlitosg]

OK I have tried all you said here and my computer have passed all the test,but the bsods continues appearing.I don't think its is the psu.I have found a board,for 775 socket,atx and ddr2,but it as agp instead of pciex,so I can't try with that board.

Now I got one problem,when I updated the drivers,the usb ones with the intel inf update,now it takes 2 minutes to dectect usb after showing the desktop.How can I remove it?

 

[Arc]

Can you RMA the motherboard?

 

[ercarlitosg]

What is RMa?

 

[Arc]

What is RMa?

Return Merchandise Authorization

Warranty replacement, in short.

 

[ercarlitosg]

Impossible.It has 6 years in june

 

[Arc]

Then replace the motherboard.

 

[ercarlitosg]

I would like to do this,but I can't find a board withnthe same characteristics as this.The only boards I have found all are micro atx and the ram is ddr3,while mine is atx and ddr2

 

[Arc]

Then only one option remains .... retire the computer.

 

[ercarlitosg]

Yes,I know.It is a bit stable becuse,the bsods now occur about 5 days since last fail.But I want to know how can i remove the intel inf updates

 

[essenbe]

Are you talking about the Windows updates? If so, go to Windows Updates and veiew update history and find them, and uninstall them.

 

[essenbe]

If you think it is software or drivers, try a clean install. Download your drivers from the motherboard manufacturer, I'm pretty sure they will be pretty old. Then do a clean install. Install your motherboard drivers, then just a few updates at a time and install no more until you are sure it is stable, then a few more. The same with installing programs. Do it slowly testing and giving it enough time to ensure it is stable. By doing it that way, you will find out which software or update is causing you trouble and you can uninstall it.

 

[essenbe]

Btw, in case you didn't know, just about every ATX case I know of will fit an Matx board. You will just have to re arrange the standoffs.

 

[ercarlitosg]

No.I am saying that the intel chipset conroller when i updated it,when the computers power on it takes 3 minutes to windows to detect the usbs

Also I would find a second hand motherboard.It isn't reasonable to pay 70€ (approx 65$) to repair a computer which has 6 years old
