Please help with random rebooting or BSOD. Please

Hello,

I hoping some of you savvy computer experts can help me out. My computer randomly reboots. The computer is about 6 months old. This has been happening for about 7 weeks now. I have added no new hardware.

Well, actually since I turned off the reboot on error, I get a blue screen. It says windows has shut down to prevent damage,or something like that. It then says that the following file is the cause, but it does not list any file. Then it says Stop: 0x40000080 (0x8506c810, 0x84f7b8f0, 0x80548d8c, 0x00000001). But some of those numbers are not always the same. It happens sometimes when I use IE web browsing and xnews under one condition.

Xnews(older and latest version) works fine except when I try to download a group with over 2 million headers(not very often). It downloads all the headers fine, then I'll get bsod during the sorting/filtering stage. happens every time with a group that big. it's fine with groups under a million headers.

It will randomly reboot(bsod) while surfing the web(IE). It has done it on many different web pages. There is one web page that it does it consistently with. http://movies.aol.com/showtimes/closesttheaters.adp?&uid=30. within 5 minutes of browsing for my local show times I'll get a bsod. sometimes within seconds, sometimes as long as 5minutes.

It's not a heat issue cpu is about 31c, mobo is cooler. Nothing is overclocked. I ran windows update. scanned for virus with avg free,and adaware for spyware/malware. I ran memtest86 for about 2 hours, all was fine. I have NO antivirus running in the background, no firewall.

I have the following:

Windows xp, home edition w/sp2.
Antec sonata case
Asus k8S-MX, I use the onboard video, sound, and ethernet.
amd sempron 2800+ 1.6 ghz
Corsair value ram 512 mb DDR, 1 stick only. vs512mb400
western digital 74 gig ide HD

I'd be greatful for any help. Thanks,

Jason
 
My guess would be powersupply. When your CPU utilization goes up, it draws more power and if it's lacking power...you get my gist. What kind of PSU do you have? Borrow one and see if she dances the same.
 
You say your board is six months old. Have you tried updating to the July 27, 2005 release of Bios 1013?

Description K8S-MX Release BIOS 1013
Improved system more stable

I would also update to the latest SIS video drivers too. You can download these from the Asus site.

512 mb isn't much memory to play with, as windows xp uses about 250 mb. It should be okay for some surfing.

 
Is it always a STOP 0x40000080?? PFN_LIST_CORRUPT?? I'm going to go with bad RAM... download memtest86 from www.memtest.org and run that and report back if you are getting memory errors

or wait... you say you've run that with no problem. OK.... New bios first. And if that doesnt do it i'd have to say somethings up with the PSU

The one that came with my sonata is a Antec True 380S

The first part is always the same. Stop: 0x40000080, the 4 sets that follow sometimes change. It does NOT say PFN_LIST_CORRUPT.
 
I had this exact same problem... same motherboard... AMD Athlon 64 3000+ processor.

Found it was the Sis Ethernet driver. Just installed the latest so hopefully that cured my problems.
