Bluescreens but only when PC is cold!
Posté par crazy_phoebe, le Thursday February 28, 2008 06:39:42 PMHi, i've got quite a frustrating problem, i get bluescreen 'stop' crashes almost every day, but only if the computer has been turned on in the last 5 minutes, when the machine has warmed up it will run fine for days with no issues.
It didn't always happen, it was built about 8 months ago and never crashed but after a couple of months i had a few crashes and the hard drive failed to boot into windows, i thought the HD must be causing this so i replaced it but it's still happening. I've run memtest on the memory, no errors.
It's got to the point now where i don't do anything important when i turn the machine on, just look at a few websites, let the thing crash and reboot, then i know it's not going to crash for the rest of the day after that

Is it the same blue screen or different ones? |
I'm not sure if they are exactly the same but they are very similar, i did take a photo of one a while ago and it was:
STOP: 0x000000F4 (0x000000003,0x89AA5020,0x89AA5194,0x805D11F8) I will note down the next one i get but strangely enough, i've not had a single one since posting this! (i had one each morning the 4 days previously though) I said i ran memtest for hours with no problems but the thing is, memtest heats the machine up pretty fast and the computer never crashes after it's had 5 minutes to warm up, so if it is a RAM problem i don't know how likely it is to show up in a memory test. |
Sounds like it could be a bad capacitor in the PSU or on the motherboard. |
