Help!! Crash & Reboot

[davsmedhot]

Hi. I have an AMD Athlon 64 3500 2.21Ghz, 1024 Ram, WinXp Sp2, 2 Hd 80 Gb Sata, Cooler Zalman, MSI k8n Neo 2 Platinum, 256 Mb Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro Advantage and i use an UPS.
My computer is constantly crashing and reeboting. When im navigating on internet it can statys more time without doing that. Im going crazy...Can somebody help me? I try doing the memtest but it was going on 3h so i interrupt it because someone told it only takes 1 or 2.
Msi has that Core Center and when i turn it on it says that my cpu has an abnormal temperature and it starts a count down to turn my computer off.
Can somebody help me?

ps: sorry for my bad english

[Gobbles]

it sounds like its over heating. What temps is it running at. You can see that in the bios or there should be a windows utility that came with the motherboard on a cd.

[davsmedhot]

CPU temp now is about 40, 41´C...yesterday it was in 50

[ryko]

try removing your zalman hsf, clean the thermal compound off of your cpu and hsf with some rubbing alcohol and a lint free cloth, re-apply a fresh coat of artic silver 5 (or other thermal compound) to the cpu, and finally re-install the zalman hsf. repeat if necessary to make sure you are making good contact between cpu and hsf!

agreed, however your temps are well with in acceptable limits. Is your heat sink fan plugged into the right fan header on the motherboard. Sometimes if the bios is reading 0 rpm for the HSF on the cpu it will act all nutty.

[profdlp]

I have the same MB that you do and I really like it. One thing I'd mention is that, while the board is great, the add-on programs from MSI leave something to be desired. I'd recommend getting rid of all of them.

The worst culprit is the "Cool 'n Quiet" business. Theoretically it will crank your CPU down to a slower speed (the "cool" part), thus allowing it to drop the rpm of the fans (the "quiet part). In real-world use all it does is cause your system to oscillate wildly from fast to slow, creating a huge amount of problems. When I first built this system I was shaking my head and wondering if I had a dud on my hands. Once I disabled the C&Q junk it took off like a rocket. :D

[davsmedhot]

Sometimes when is the first time i turn on my computer it freezes when loading windows..Still a overheating prob?
Sometimes when it freezes theres a beeeeeeeep coming out the speakers.

[davsmedhot]

Bios temp
Sys temp 22C
Cpu (?) temp 42C

[profdlp]

It could well be. Your CPU would be totally fried in about two seconds if you had no HS/F at all. With a low fan speed it could certainly get very hot in a small amount of time.


so what have u done with your corecenter ?
I don't let it run automatically on startup. You're better off with a program like Motherboard Monitor (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=311) or SpeedFan (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=337). :)

[davsmedhot]

Sorry, but what can i do about it? I still have some thermal stuff to put in the amd processor.

[profdlp]

My computer is constantly crashing and reeboting. When im navigating on internet it can statys more time without doing that.
That sounds exactly like the Cool & Quiet stuff. When you're using the machine it allows things to run at a higher speed. Once you let the system drop to an idle state it kicks in and then the problems start. Have you been running the Cool & Quiet program? If so, disable it.

The temperatures you listed in Post #8 look fine.

Another thing: Check your BIOS settings for the temperatures at which the system automatically shuts down and what the setting for shutdown on low fan speed is. Post those numbers here.

Has your system locked up on you since you started this thread?

[davsmedhot]

What do u mean by Locked up ? Freeze ? Since i started this thread my computer rebooted twice..freezing none

[Armo]

is it shutting down, or rebooting?

if its rebooting you need to do this

right click my computer->properties->advanced->start up and recovery settings-> and under system failure turn OFF automaticly restart on error

that will force the machine to display a BSOD instead of instantly rebooting if there is a hard ware problem. If you get a BSOD write down what it says and post it up. Ive seen BSOD usually from a failing HDD or bad RAM

btw memtest takes ~ 24hours per stick of ram.

[profdlp]

What does it say in the BIOS about shutdown temperatures?

[stabface]

I had a very similar problem and it was bad ram.

[davsmedhot]

Sys temp 22/ 68C (this is the shutdown temp ?)
Cpu temp 42/111C

[davsmedhot]

Cool n´quite is enable in Bios. Should i disable it ?

[profdlp]

All the other things are well worth checking out, but I'd bet the problem lies here:

...Msi has that Core Center and when i turn it on it says that my cpu has an abnormal temperature and it starts a count down to turn my computer off...
Since his temps look fine, I'm betting it's just that flaky program shutting him down by mistake.

I just opened the sucker to take a screen shot, but never got that far. First Core Center locked up on me; I couldn't close it, minimize it, or get into the settings tab. I killed it in Task Manager, only to have the rascal open itself back up and give me the (false) alarm nonsense. :shakehead

davsmedhot: Click Start>>>Run, type in msconfig, click OK, then go to the Startup tab and uncheck everything related to MSI. Reboot and see if your problem goes away. :)

[profdlp]

Cool n´quite is enable in Bios. Should i disable it ?
Yes! :thumbsup:

[davsmedhot]

Ive already disabled Cool n´Quiet and changes that option about "that will force the machine to display a BSOD instead of instantly rebooting if there is a hard ware problem. If you get a BSOD write down what it says and post it up. Ive seen BSOD usually from a failing HDD or bad RAM"
In startup there wasnt anything related to MSI

[profdlp]

Cross your fingers and let's see what happens. :)

[davsmedhot]

Thanks everyone for helping me...

[profdlp]

Thanks everyone for helping me...
Does that mean it's fixed? :)

[davsmedhot]

Im afraid not...It didnt freeze anymore. But i had to reboot twice..Some blue scrreen appears but i forgot the copy what it says

[profdlp]

...Some blue screen appears but i forgot the copy what it says
The next time it happens, write it down and let us know. :)

[davsmedhot]

The Blue Screen says that there is a problem with the file SYMFW.SYS (PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA)

[Straight_Man]

Can you get into Windows, or does this screen completely block you?? That file it is talking about is a Symantec Firewall Filter file.... It should NOT be using Window's reserved memory areas, which is what the error is telling you is happening.

[davsmedhot]

The screen blocks me...i have to restar teh computer...what should i do to resolve this?

[davsmedhot]

Other blue screen - Driver IRQL Not LESS Or EQUAL

[davsmedhot]

Does anybody know the reason for those blue screens ?

[profdlp]

Straight_Man covered the first one. As for the Driver IRQL Not LESS Or EQUAL, what does it say after that?

I'd try reinstalling your Symantec stuff for starters.

[davsmedhot]

On msnconfig i disable all stuff about symantec and norton and the blue screen didnt appear anymore..but my computer freezed...what else should i do ?

[profdlp]

Head over to our security downloads section and get HijackThis (http://www.short-media.com/download.php?dc=69). Run it and post a log here.

Norton/Symantec has plenty of bugs of its own, but it wouldn't hurt to get any possible SVT problem out of the way.

anyproblem ? i dont know how it works...:-(


ps: thank u very much for ur help

[profdlp]

davsmedhot, it appears that you have at least one worm on your computer.

W32/SdBot-O (http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32sdboto.html)

Head over to our Spyware/Virus/Trojan Discussion Forum (http://www.short-media.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=57) and start a new thread there. Make sure you read through the directions carefully. Post a copy of your HijackThis log in the first post there, too.

[davsmedhot]

It keeps freezing...Until now no rebooting or blue screens..but it freezed twice

[davsmedhot]

I have the same MB that you do and I really like it. One thing I'd mention is that, while the board is great, the add-on programs from MSI leave something to be desired. I'd recommend getting rid of all of them.

Should i uninstall LiveUpdate, Core Center and Digicell from MSI ?

[profdlp]

Should i uninstall LiveUpdate, Core Center and Digicell from MSI ?
It's not really necessary to uninstall them, just make sure they aren't loading automatically on startup. Did you disable Cool 'n Quiet in the BIOS?

I was glancing back through the thread and thought it might be a good idea to clarify this point:
Sys temp 22/ 68C (this is the shutdown temp ?)
Cpu temp 42/111C
Double-check your temps in the BIOS and tell us exactly what the settings are for shutdown temperature. Pay special attention to the C and F markings after them. I missed it before, but what you listed above actually looks like they are the Celsius and Fahrenheit scale settings for the same temperature. If that's true, a 42C shutdown temperature would be guaranteed to make your system call it quits on a regular basis.

Give as much detal about the actual temperature readings and the CPU Shutdown Setting as you can. :)

I had a very similar problem and it was bad ram.
Good suggestion. Try a few passes of Memtest-86 (http://www.short-media.com/download.php?dc=58)

[davsmedhot]

Good suggestion. Try a few passes of Memtest-86 (http://www.short-media.com/download.php?dc=58)

It takes to much!..how many hours for one ram?12, 24 ?

[profdlp]

It takes about one minute for each 10MB of RAM you have. Once you see the "pass" number click over to "1" it means it's gone all the way through. :)

[davsmedhot]

I have 1024 MB of Ram = 2 modules of 512MB.
If it takes one minute for each 10 MBRam i think it would take 102,4 minutes that is 1h and 42,4 minutes.
The test is still going after 11 hours!

My still running test http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5315/1001285a5pa.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

[profdlp]

...Once you see the "pass" number click over to "1" it means it's gone all the way through. :)
You are on Pass 37.

Unfortunately, your picture shows that you have errors. Since you have two sticks of RAM your next step should be to shut down, remove one stick, then re-run the test. For 512MB of RAM it will take just under an hour.

Repeat the process for the other stick of RAM. What you are trying to do is figure out which one is causing the errors.

Finally, are you overclocking at all? If so, run Memtest-86 again at stock speed.

Overclocking?How? I dont think so...im gonna remove one of the ram and take the test again. I just remove the stick of ram and when i want to put it again there will be no problem ?

[profdlp]

Overclocking is when you run your computer faster than its rated speed.

As for the RAM, the errors mean that at least one stick is bad. You need to find out which one is the culprit. (It could be both...)

As far as i know i have not done any overclocking. My doubt is if i can disconnect ram and then put it again in my motherboard without needing to make changes is BIOS. I just take it off the mother board and after the tests put it again ? Do i need to change anything in bios?

[davsmedhot]

I went to bios and i saw that Dynamic Overcloking was enabled.I disabled it. Dynamic Overcloking is an option thats comes with MSI k8n Neo2.

I was reading the manual of my motherboard and it says "If u find the PC appears to be unstable or reboot incidentally, its better to disable Dynamic OVerclocking..."
Should i try to see if it resolves the problem ? Or should i make memtest anyway ?

[profdlp]

When you remove one stick you may get a notice during boot that memory size has changed. Just tell it to keep going.

Run the test on each stick of RAM individually. Unless Dynamic Overclocking was causing the problem, you have at least one bad stick and should not use it again. Get the tests done and we'll go from there. :)

[Leonardo]

Sure, why not try running the computer with both sticks of RAM and with Dynamic Overclocking turned off. If your system is stable, you are fortunate that your RAM's flaw is not causing problems. If you turn off Dynamic Overclocking and the same problems persist, then you need to continue Memtest and determine which stick(s) of RAM is bad. The point being here is that you might get lucky and be able to run your system well, even if bad RAM. It's highly unlikely, but it is possible.

[davsmedhot]

3 Days & No Crashes or freezing!!!I hope my problems gone!!!Ill confirm it.

[profdlp]

I hope you've got it fixed for good. Good luck! :beer:

[davsmedhot]

Thank u very much!!! Special thanks to Profdlp.
No more blue screens, freezing or anyhting else...just working fine|
Thanks!!

[profdlp]

JOY!

:celebrate

[Leonardo]

3 Days & No Crashes or freezing!!!I hope my problems gone!!!Ill confirm it. OK, I read the troubleshooting suggestions, but am not quite clear on the final diagnosis and fix? Exactly what caused the problem(s), and what effected the fix?

But happy that all's in order.

[davsmedhot]

OK, I read the troubleshooting suggestions, but am not quite clear on the final diagnosis and fix? Exactly what caused the problem(s), and what effected the fix?

But happy that all's in order.

There were an option in Bios about Automatic Overclocking and it was making my computer instable (blue screens, crashes, freezing) and when i disabled that option those blue screens and freezing disappeared.

[Leonardo]

OH, OK. I've now had experience with software overclocking with Asus and MSI. Both are OK, if one is not willing to learn the details (BIOS overclocking), but both caused problems too if the overclock was high or if some settings in the BIOS weren't set to compliment the software.
