ALOT OF ERRORS!!!!!!!!!!

[HikkiFan]

I don't know why but I'm getting alot of errors... and when I say alot I mean like 100s of them. No matter what os I use it still doesn't work and I have not overclocked my system. Could it be my videocard? I'm getting bsod even on desktop!!!!
Here is my computer specs:

1.4ghz tbird -oem
256 ddr ram -kingston
GIGABYTE GA-7XDR+
RADEON 8500
WINDOW 98SE

Error are caused by many things....Could be hardware related,Software related ,or possibly a virus. Have to give us some more history leading up to the problem

I did a fresh install...so I don't think it's software... I even get bsod in setup ! I'm getting bsod about vxd vcache and vxd vfat

Is that mobo on a VIA chipset? any bios updates around for it?

 

[HikkiFan]

northbridge is amd southbridge is via.

its the radeon!! mine did the same thing! do you have another vid card to use? i got errors that i did not think were video related like with ntfs.sys but only with the radeon in would i get them. in xp setup too.

is this a lot of errors all of a sudden? or is it a new system and you are getting a lot? If its new, bad RAM causes errors, and a lot of them.

Computer is newly builted. I think it might be my processor... since it's oem. Is that possible?

 

[HikkiFan]

My computer freezes just every few mins and now and then.... I'm getting really annoyed. I just experienced another type of error... something about window external problems.

look no further, It's the power supply.

 

[HikkiFan]

Why would you say so? I got 400 watt...

 

[Budman]

Is it AMD aproved for a 1.4ghz Athlon?

 

[wfbberzerker]

freezing every few minutes and/or random errors could be ram... do you have proper type? if so, might be bad.

I had the same type of problems on a bad motherboard before. It was an FIC, so it was my mistake for even buying it, but the problems were tough to troubleshoot. I coudln't even complete an install of WinXP.

I doubt that it is the cpu, unless it is overheating. Make sure your fan is spinning and you took the tape off the TIM on the HSF. The only other thing is to test the parts in another computer. Any of a computers parts can cause those kind of problems. Troubleshooting a new pc is B1tch!

lol everyone thinks its something different! whty dont you pull everything except ram processor and video card and bootup if your board supports video leave that card out also ! Then report back!

Randomly freezing? First make sure the fast writes are disabled in your bios, thats what happened with my 8500. Somehow the fast writes flipped back on and I was getting random freezing.

If errors still occur, I doubt its the cpu, try the memory.

 

[HikkiFan]

I don't think it's powersupply since my 1ghz freezes on me also

Sounds like a faulty hardware to me,I had a faulty T-bird do the same thing even with clean install of OS I was getting errors all the time ,BSOD,etc,I had the memory tested by Crucial first then you just have to go through your hardware like,cpu,memory,board,video card etc until you find the culprit.

No quick 5 sec fix here (unless you know what the problem is).

 

[HikkiFan]

Budman is right! it's the powersupply I'm relieve to find out that it's not my videocard cause I love it soooo much thanks for all the inputs!

 

[Mem]

HikkiFan lucky you,I had a AMD approved PSU and I still had the similar problem to what you had, trust me to get a faulty cpu ,anyway next time don`t take no short-cuts with your PSU ok .

I didn't know anything when I brought my case
