Getting a BSOD

[Brooksie]

Turning to turn off the Intel Speedstep in the bios, when I press f10 and go to save the PC reboots but nothing happens, so I have to turn it off then back on to find out it didn't work so Mullet told me that I should try and flash my bios.. Did that and it works.. But now i've just had a BSOD

fltmgr.sys the last one said.

What a pain in the arse.

What sort of settings is ur memory under ?

 

[Brooksie]

CPU-Z

Last time I checked in the BIOS everything was set to auto Haven't messed about with anything

Mmm, the file you said there is the Microsoft Filesystem Filter Manager.

Which suggests something is wrong with your fileing system.. (NTFS/FAT)

Time for XP now Brooksie?

 

[Brooksie]

If you buy me a copy of XP i'll jump straight to it lol

But I have Vista OEM.. So I can only activate it once lol.

You can activate it more I am sure.

Don't you just have to ring them up?

What about the XP disc your dad had? But if it is something to do with your filesystem it would mean a format anywhoo.

Great... It's fine atm.. No BSOD's so far.. See how tomorrow goes..

I did have XP pro.. But it's gone somewhere.. Wasn't legit anyway =)

How about the memory voltage m8 ?

How can I find that out?

Bios, go have a look around.

 

[Rastalovich]

Well the spd menu tab of cpuz will tell u about the voltages it "likes" under different frequencies.

But if u don`t have a mobo based utility on desktop that`ll tell u (not too familiar with ASUS), the bios will surely tell u in the voltage section.

 

[Brooksie]

Last time I checked everything was set to 'auto'

I'll go have another wander.. Hopefully the BSOD dragon will not show. I do not have the info to slay the beast! lol.

EDIT: Rasta i'll have a look on the asus disk I got.. I think theres one that tells you the voltages..

 

[Toxcity]

Check all your data and power cables too and from the harddisk.

Don't trust software for voltages.

Go to the bios hardware section.

 

[Rastalovich]

Auto can ~sometimes~ be a bad thing for memory voltages.

It can happen that it sticks the voltage @ 1.8v when ur sticks prefer around 2.2v for 400mhz and above.

EDIT: urgh they still use that util ?

 

[Brooksie]

SPD section of CPU-Z. It's the exact same for slot #1 and #3

EDIT: 1.8v for 400mhz.. they must like 2.2 then or something

 

[Toxcity]

Set all the memory to 5-5-5-15 @ 400mhz @ 1.8v should run fine really.

But I am still it being the harddrive.

 

[Brooksie]

I'll go have a look then

EDIT: it's all set to auto

all the wires inside the case and connected aswell

It's all fine now..

 

[Brooksie]

Well its been just over 3 hours with my pc on and still no BSOD's.. Fingers crossed it's sorted
