Ok, so I'm just going explain this problem in point form.
Computer Specs:
WinXp SP2
512RAM
ATI Sapphire 9600pro 256mb
80gb HDD
Slave HDD: 8gb
200w
PSU
CD Drive
DVD Drive
- First, couple of months ago my computer start to auto-restart everytime i run too many apps at the same time or even if i left it on over-night. I realized that this problem started when i inserted a new ATI Sapphire 9600pro 256mb Video Card into my comp. or thats what i think. But i didnt take any action.
-Second, Later on the restarts/crashes started to happen more often, Like if i was doing only one thing; Writing in word. It would restart/crash,. Recently its been restarting on Boot-up, Meaning that i turn on the comp and then while its loading up all the apps at startup, it crashes, so Right now I'm in Safe Mode, writting this.
- Third, Now, after reading many windows XP problem fix threads on various sites. I've come to the conclusion that my
PSU is dying. So i went and ordered a 600w
PSU :P but it hasnt arrived yet (no worries, i ordered it like last thrusday and waiting period is 2-3weeks :P) but while i wait I want to know if this was the right choice to make. Because I don't want this problem to continue even after I've resorted to my Plan Z(last plan i could think of; Replace
PSU).My previous plans were disabling some of the components, right now im running w/o> My Video card(so its using onboard intel
gfx accelerator, and this page is being viewed with 4-bit colors, so its really hard to see my periods and comas :P, and also hard to read my type-age, so please excuse the mistakes), Disabled both CD&DVD Drives, Plus my Slave 8gb HDD (:P). At the begening the problem was kind of helpful because the comp stayed on longer, after each disconnection but now its resorted back to the usual reboot-age at normal start-up.
-Fourth, On some forums it said I should ( this is the first time i made a New topic, usually i read others, by "I" i means the reader, in this case me :P confusing lol) go into Control Panel>Advanced Tab>Startup & Sys. Recov. Settings>Uncheck Auto-restart. To find what exactly the problem is, this uncheck option part displayed a sort of
BSOD the next time it crashed and this is what it said (i wrote down what it said so theres no point in attaching a event1001 file, But this part of the msg appears at the bottom of the screen, because above it it just says all the actions i could take and the second option is that i should disable some components, which i've already done.):
Technical Information:
*** STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0xB2EF550B, 0xB20C2A20, 0x00000000)
*** system32: lzx32.sys - Address B2EF550B base at B2EF3000, DateStamp 45a25a31
Hope that helps in any way possible.
- Fifth, Theres this weird phenonmen that keeps happening, at 9pm everyday the comp crashes and after that it wont turn on again;restarts at start-up. Because lately i've been able to use normal mode if i let the comp sleep(stay off) for a long period, like these past few days i've noticed something really weird/freaky the comp can turn on perfectly everyday after 4pm-ish then it always crashes at 9pm, dont know if its a program that starts-up at 9pm, like an Anti-virus or something that kills the comp but i've checked and nothing i could find turns on at 9pm (i only check my anti-spyware/virus software :P, not that much effort used :P) but yea this has been happening for the past few days.).
- This is as far as my "story" goes :P all i can do now is wait for the
PSU to arrive and wait for a solution to my problem. So now i'll just attact the "event" file that it tells me to do in the sticky thread. But in my case they were no "Event1001" files they either said "Information" or "Error". But i can only find one that indicates that the Dump file was save to so-and-so place.
