All games crash on my computer??!!

[frie2]

Every single game i have played on my new computer crashes. Never being able to play a game for more than an hour. Some time when it crashes it locks up, other times i'm able to use alt+ctrl+del to shut the computer down. Here is the latest error log created by warcraft3.
Some of the errors result in a blue screen and then my computer dumps the physical memory and restarts. The error says something like "Kmode access violation not handled" when the blue screen occurs

basic system specs, 2.4 P4, geforce 4 ti 4200, sb audigy 2, 512mg of RAM.

Since every game you have tried crashes, I will assume this is caused by bad or mismatched RAM. Make sure all your RAM sticks are running at the same speed.

Also test your RAM with this program: http://www.goldmemory.cz

It must be run under MS-Dos, so you will have to create an MS-Dos Boot Disk. I recommend you get a diskette, go in My Computer, then right-click on the A: drive to format. Make sure you check the "Copy System Files" box.

You should check out my Access Violation thread for additional possible causes.

So my problem could be generic ram? I only have one 512mg module. Soon i'm going to buy new samsung ram. Take out my current ram and replace with 512megs of samsug pc333. My mother board has 4 rams slots 2 for ddr 2 for sd. Should i just see if the new ram fixes the problem or bother with testing my shitty ram?

 

[frie2]

that was me....

 

[frie2]

I went ahead and tested my ram anyway. at about 6% it said "general protection fault error" Is this mean I have cheapo ram or is that a program error?

 

[NoNameRequired]

Try the other RAM sticks. Note this could also be caused by wrong settings in the BIOS.

 

[frie2]

i bought new ram this morning off ebay. 512 megs of pc333 made by samsung

 

[frie2]

Fans

I have 2 case fans in teh back of my computer and 1 pci exuast blower. Which direction should the case fans be blowing? Blowing into the computer or out

 

[NoNameRequired]

Blowing in. Did the other RAM sticks work ? Are the crashes still occurring ?

 

[frie2]

well i dont have the ram yet. I'm still waiting for it to come in the mail.

 

[frie2]

computer wont boot up

I installed a harddrive fan on to my harddrive. A direct mount harddrive, no my computer doesn't reboot. (not a damn thing comes up on the monitor) My dad is looking at it right now.... i just wanted secondary input.

Make sure the HD is on the same IDE chain/cable as it was before. If you unplugged the IDE cables, make sure they were plugged back in the right way. On your motherboard there should be a little 1 or a solid line on one side of where you plug the cable in, that's pin1 on the mobo, on your hd cable there should be a red line going down one side, that's pin 1 on the cable, and on your hard drive, pin 1 is always on the side of where you plug your power cable in. Plugging in a hd that is jumpered incorrectly or the cable is the wrong way can cause one of three things to happen:
1. you get to sit for 20 minutes while it tries to find the hard drive, it might even detect one after the 20 minutes of waiting, but it won't boot.
2. it just doesn't detect the hard drive at all
3. the mobo decides to just not continue booting at all.

I figured it out. The ram was bumped so it wasn't quite locked into the slot. Made sure the clippies where secure and booted it up. Works great!

I need a harddrive testing program, I think mine is a piece of shit and has errors. Anyone know where to find one?

Ok i got the new ram in the mail yesterday. In my frenzy of excitment i installed the new ram. I turned on my computer and nothing happned. So obviously i messed with my jumpers a little bit, and then it booted up perfectly, and faster. I shut down my computer to put it back together. I hooked all of my stuff up and put the case back together. I booted up my computer and windows said critical files were missing or corrupted. So i didn't care what was on my HD so i formatted the sob, and tried to reinstall windows. Windows 2000 will not install onto my harddrive. About halfway through or so it says NTSF FILE SYSTEM MISSING, which is the name of my harddrive. Any clue as to what to do?
