D_kitty Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 This has been driving me crazy. My computer began restarting randomly about 6 months ago and increased in frequency. I reinstalled windows multiple times, and it would be fine for awhile before the infamous BSODS would begin. I began digging a bit deeper into the crash dumps, trying to figure out if it is a hardware or driver issue. The problem is the crash dump results are all over the place. Of the 7 crash dumps analyzed (I have about 20 to go) ntoskernl.exe and win32k.sys are the only two that show up more than once. Here are 7 of the results:Symevent.sys (symevent+141c9)ntoskernl.exe (nt+22f43)ntoskernl.exe (nt+22f33)ntoskernl.exe (nt+4c32a)win32k.sys (win32k+2eae9)win32k.sys (win32k! vSrcCopyS24D32+70)memory corruptionAny ideas about where to go from here? This is a fresh install of Windows XP 32 bit Pro as of last week, and already the BSODs are multiple times a day at random intervals. There is also a new turn of events. When the computer is switched on first thing in the morning, it goes though the normal bios screen and begins to load windows. Then, it reboots 2-5 times before making finally it pas the windows log on. I even tried the Windows 7 beta 32 bit with the exact same results and several versions of XP ranging from no service pack to one with SP3 included. I'm at a loss of where to go from here. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. -Cindy OS: Windows XP PRO 32 bit with SP3Computer Hardware:ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16 ATX AMD Motherboard AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Manchester 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Dual Core Processor Model ADA4200BVBOX (2) OCZ Performance Series 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) (total 2 gigs RAM)eVGA 256-P2-N517-AX Geforce 7800GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video CardCreative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS SB0350 7.1 Channels PCI Interface Sound Card
