I suspect my Winnie is gone... Please help.

ok frag firstly i feel really bad that this always happens to you, however i have a few helpful links/opinions of my own.

firstly lets examine your stop errors.

0x0000000A

name='Microsoft' said:
Stop error 0x0000000A (Stop 0x0A) indicates that there was an attempt in kernel mode to touch pageable memory at too high a process internal request level (IRQL). Typically, this error occurs when a driver uses an incorrect memory address. Other possible causes of this error are an incompatible device driver, a general hardware problem, and incompatible software.

so a paging file error. this is leading towards hard drive IMO. however of course it could very well be the motherboard or ram. HDD seems like the best bet for this error though. however if you also care to give this a read then you will find that a possible problem is a device driver error, possibly leading to your gfx card. kemperz i hope uare listening for changing your odds?? :rolleyes:

so the other error.

0x000000C5

name='Microsoft' said:
This issue can occur when an attempt to touch invalid memory at a process IRQL that is too high occurs. This is almost always caused by drivers that have corrupted the system pool.

hmmm, more memory errors but this time almost definately driver problems so this is going to be your big lead. the article can be found here

so what to do now frag??

firstly find a way to back up your porn. :yumyum: also anything else worth saving because you will hvae a try recovery console. run a CHKDSK and some other diagnostic tests you can find and try to repair windows.

hit F8 when starting and try last known good configuration. also try safe mode if you havent already.

flash ALL drivers possible to stock/basic. especially vid card if you hvaent done do already.

flash the BIOS and reset CMOS.

and i seriously doubt the winnie is fried BTW. most probably cause from my resaearch is a driver problem that has corrupted something. maybe fixable, unfortunately maybe not. try some of these things and get back to me mate. im prayin for ya.
 
Right...nice Dave. No reps...but a couple of :worship: :wavey: :worship: :wavey:

For you

Odds:

CPU: 20:1

Mobo: 4:1

RAM: 6:1

HDD: 4:1

Vid Card: 3:1

I reckon that it'll all be ok in the end...I don't want to be accused of being an optimist though! :)
 
Gotta love Microsofts diagnosis

"Other possible causes of this error are an incompatible device driver, a general hardware problem, and incompatible software."

So thats either a Driver problem, a Software problem or a Hardware problem! Isn't that pretty much anythign and everything to do with your machine...

Just like Microsoft error reporting...."this is a problem with a 3rd Party application on your computer. We are sorry, Microsoft does not support this 3rd Party software" :mad:

The big blue are oh so helpful

The phrase "Chocolate Teapot" springs to mind...
 
PSU could have also caused all of those errors due to hardware not running correctly due to mismatched voltages and such.

I think im going to replace the PSU before I try anything else. None of those errors would lead back to the computer not soft restarting or posting with any overclock.
 
I hate to recommend buying anything before trying all other options first. So if I were you, I'd be hesitant to buy another PSU if your current PSU did the trick for period XYZ.

One thing I noticed that no one else thought of is damaged files on working hard disk. To verify that your windows files are intact, first get a driver cleaner and uninstall every driver completely, then reinstall the drivers. After that's done and you know how have correct drivers installed, run sfc:

System File Checker (sfc)Scans and verifies the versions of all protected system files after you restart your computer.

Syntax

sfc [/scannow] [/scanonce] [/scanboot] [/revert] [/purgecache] [/cachesize=x]

Parameters

/scannow

Scans all protected system files immediately.

/scanonce

Scans all protected system files once.

/scanboot

Scans all protected system files every time the computer is restarted.

/revert

Returns the scan to its default operation.

/purgecache

Purges the Windows File Protection file cache and scans all protected system files immediately.

/cachesize=x

Sets the size, in MB, of the Windows File Protection file cache.

/?

Displays help at the command prompt.

Remarks

You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group to run sfc.

If sfc discovers that a protected file has been overwritten, it retrieves the correct version of the file from the %systemroot%\system32\dllcache folder, and then replaces the incorrect file.

If the %systemroot%\system32\dllcache folder becomes corrupt or unusable, use sfc /scannow, sfc /scanonce, or sfc /scanboot to repair the contents of the Dllcache directory.

Formatting legend

Format Meaning

Italic Information that the user must supply

Bold Elements that the user must type exactly as shown

Ellipsis (...) Parameter that can be repeated several times in a command line

Between brackets ([]) Optional items

Between braces ({}); choices separated by pipe (|). Example: {even|odd} Set of choices from which the user must choose only one

Courier font Code or program output

This will ensure windows none of your vital files are corrupt. Be careful when replacing any corrupt files, sfc may overwrite hotfixes.

If that pans out. Re-overclock your computer and see if you get any errors again. If so, then buy a new PSU but be forewarned, it could be anything on your computer. If you don't feel like replacing anything and everything untilt he probelm goes away, you may be forced to run your system at stock settings where it doesn't exhibit any problems.

However, we know you're Xtreme and will replace anything and everything you have to in order to overclock your computer.
 
System files should all be in tact... because this problem doesnt happen every time, if it were a corrupt system file it'd be a constant thing, not hit or miss.

I running on my main right right now as we speak all at stock speeds/timings, etc.

I could see where after a week of brutal torcher to this PSU it finally decided it wasn't going to output to its potential any longer. I don't think Fortron ever planned for this PSU to be used in a computer like mine :)

600w PowerStream seems like my next thing to try... I debated on the PCP&C 850 SSI but I really don't feel like spending $500 on a PSU, as much as I'd like too! A $210 PSU should be just fine for my needs :)

Thx for the suggestion though RollerCam! I just don't think it has anything to do with corrupted system / driver files since it's not a consistent happening and I'm having problems unrelated to the OS itself.
 
Very strange, comp seems to be working as normal now....

Just ran S&M for an hour and 15 minutes on a full stress test and it passed all of the tests. I rebooted went into the BIOS reoverclocked to where I used to be and it fired w/o a hitch.

I can't figure it out??? :confused:

Maybe I agree...but surely its worth a try....

and why not get the powerstream and use it just to run the CPU/mobo/RAM etc and use the old PSU to run the w/c and fans?

That way you KNOW you will have enough voltage to run stable at almost any OC imaginable.... :D
 
I don't think he'll have enough room in his case to house the second PSU and if I know fragtek, he'll want to watercool his computer internally.

Yeah but if he built a custom case for the PSU that would look very nice!

But yeah...more than one PSU aint all that great looks wise! :(

This man knows me better than I thought :D Ur absolutely right... I think making ur watercooling setup sprung out around ur desk is weak sauce ugly style (soz to anyone that has theres setup like that, rofl). I go for functional and stylish :cool:
