Well I'm having some serious problems with my comp.
From my previous post:
<< A while back I had a random reboot problem but it seemed to go away all by itself. Now about a month later it has returned. Some times my machine will restart the second windows is up, other times it will be 30 minutes to an hour before it reboots. I've updated every driver that I could possible find and made sure there wasn't yet another new bios for my board.
For my system spec see them in my sig.
Along with those specs I have an Enermax EG465P-VE FC power supply.
One thing I've noticed is that when it does reboot is seems like it takes the hard drive a cupple seconds longer to spin up, about 2 seconds after the bios detects it you can hear it finially spin up. Could this possibly be a sign of a bad hard drive or perhaps the motherboard. I just got this board so I hope it's not faulty. I've tried new IDE cables, unplugging all the cd-roms, using a different molex for the hard drive, set bios settings to a bare minimal settings, I just don't have another power supply to try out. >>
*Since then I've gotten it to display the bsod instead of restart. The Stop errors it is giving me are:
1-An attempt was made to write to read-only memory.
--This driver may be at fault: nv4_disp.dll
2-KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
--Address blah blah blah - win32k.sys
3-PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGE_AREA
--Address blah blah blah - nv4_disp.dll
*Along with that, under the Event Viewer I have the error "Service Control Manager" which under the description states:
The following boot-start or system-star driver(s) failed to load:
i8042prt
*There is also the warning "i8042prt" which under the descriptions states:
The keyboard device does not exist or was not detected.
So I'm left wondering.
Could someone please lend me their expertise on this.
