Computer has finally died :(

Could be a stick of dodgy ram?

 

[boultonn]

If I've learnt two things working in IT, if it's hardware issue, its RAM; if it's a software issue, it's DNS

 

[Crayola]

3 things, the most important in this case

PEBKAC

 

[Cookson]

Ffs do you want a spare PC?😂😂😂

I won't be beaten 😂😂

Saying that I have had my spare tower from work this afternoon and it was lovely and quiet, unlike mine which sounds like a fuckin 747 taking off 😂😂😂

 

[Cookson]

Could be a stick of dodgy ram?

Hmmmm. I didn't think about that. Probably the cheapest thing I can replace too

 

[Crayola]

Let me know if you need owt bud

 

[Kingpin]

I genuinely give up lol. Easy to find why your computer crashes but not tried anything I've suggested.

Did you read above? I was working and it crashed, so plugged my work tower in. I haven't had time/inclination to swap everything back and try to look at the crash register yet.

You can get ram testing programs, might show a fault.
You can also yank out all but one stick of ram, run the computer and see if it behaves. Keep swapping them around, dodgy stick might become apparent.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Memtest

 

[Cookson]

DDR3 is probably cheap enough to just lob 2 new sticks in no?

Yeah would have thought so

If you have a pair of sticks of ram - you could try just one at a time and see if it falls over - i've just gone through this whole process - tried new graphics card, tried replacement memory - it was just the latest windows update that was causing the crashes like your having with the fuzzy screen etc.. I looked at the reliabilty monitor it said why it was crashing and then just reverted the windows update back and it worked. Prob explains why was working good with win 10 on ssd then its updated and bosh - your having the issue. Same motherboard as you too.

It used to do this ages back on Windows 7 too, so it's not a software issue.

Managed to fire it back up, this is event viewer log

 

[Kingpin]

Youtuber AVE would suggest "When in trouble, when in doubt. Run in circles, scream and shout."

I used reliability history to see the errors so not sure how event history works. Did you look down the list to see which has the highest occurrence of error?

 

[Cookson]

I have no idea what I am looking at in reliability history, other than it states hardware failure. Helpful.

I left it running again this morning, and it crashed again after an hour

 

[Kingpin]

Id step back the most recent windows update and see if that cures your issue. Seems to relate to graphics card drivers same as what I was getting. Check and see when the last update was done - see if it ties in with when the issue started happening again) if so just click to step back the update. (I advised how a few pages back)

 

[Cookson]

Like I say, it's been doing this for years now, before I upgraded windows 10, before I put the SSD in, and before I upgraded the graphics csrd. So I can't see how it's software related.

 

[Crayola]

Nah rollback windows 10 innit, worked for 1 person so its deffo that

 

[R3k1355]

From the event viewer it seems to crash everytime you load a file called oapgangbang.avi
Have you considered defragging the HD?

 

[boultonn]

I had a couple of crashes on my PC lately and reliability viewer just pointed me to the memory dump file.
could be worth downloading BlueScreenViewer which should show which process is causing the crash

Blue screen of death (STOP error) information in dump files.

Displays information about blue screen crashes occured on your system. (MiniDump Reader)

www.nirsoft.net

You might need to google the output but it might give you a better idea.

 

[Cookson]

It doesn't give me blue screen, it just freezes on whatever it's on, whereas before the graphics card install, it used to do that fuzzy s**t.

 

[Kingpin]

Nah rollback windows 10 innit, worked for 1 person so its deffo that

Its a 5 min job - worth a shot.

 

[Cookson]

Soooooo, when I updated the drivers, seems it updated the onboard intel graphics card, and the PC kept using that, despite the monitors being plugged into the new one.

Checked the new Asus card and that was last updated 2015, LOL. So updated that, and disabled the intel one.

Fingers crossed and touch wood, it’s been alright yesterday today, and I’ve been giving it a beating too, using youtube,, playing vids, accessing hard drives etc in the background whilst using the remote to work, and the temps have been rock steady too at 40deg for the card and CPU. Might even turn down those jet engines for fans.

Nah rollback Windows mate, that WILL sort it!

New CPU paste, Windows10debloater, reseat the RAM, Turn OFF the onboard GFX if using a GFX card...

 

[Cookson]

New CPU paste, Windows10debloater, reseat the RAM, Turn OFF the onboard GFX if using a GFX card...

Apart from the windows thing, done all that now.

Hopefully this will be golden now

 

[Cookson]

OK, so we had a little freeze again this morning

 

[Kingpin]

You tried rolling back the last windows update?

If not try version 3.11 if you've got a floppy drive 👍🤣

look at the critical error, that one is just a warning.

 

[jam.]

Just bin it

3 things, the most important in this case

PEBKAC

PICNIC is better

 

[GiT]

Get WireShark on it and see if something on the network is pinging it and causing it (Unlikely, but possible).

Download the DDU program to clear ALL Graphics Card drivers and re-install a fresh, single one.

Windows10debloater needs running to clear out crap it won't need.

What Security is it running?

Persistent PC freeze and crash with Dcom 10016 being the problem

Hi all, i get this event ID everytime my pc crashes (freeze), Dcom 10016 The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

Just bin it

Do this

You've tested Win 7 and Win 10 = it's not software so let's focus on hardware

1. you've messed about with RAM - so it's not that
2. you've swapped the disk drive - so it's not that
3. you've disabled the onboard graphics and put in a (presumably known good) GPU - things apparently got a bit better - this is pointing us towards part of your mobo being fucked
4. You've tried swapping the paste on the CPU and temps are ok

the only things left to do is buy another CPU but I am going to guess this PC is old so sourcing a compatible CPU is probably going to cost you more in time than it is to just upgrade your PC

Just accept your loss and move on and be grateful the disk is fine so you have your data.

But this happened 4 mins approx before the crash - not at the time of crash from the log?

 

[Crayola]

Have you tried rolling back windows?

 

[GiT]

I thought the "warning" item was the actual issue? @Cookson - What's the score?

 

[jam.]

Imagine taking this to a computer shop with the issue/s. You listen to their advice but don’t actually do what they reccomended, then try somewhere else for the lols, and somewhere else, and somewhere else.
Meanwhile the first shop is wondering what’s going on when you turn back up with the same issue months later

Repeat ad infinitum

That’s what this thread feels like.
