Random reboots on Soltek Golden Flame mobo
Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2005 5:19 pm
Helloes,
I'm fiixing a PC for a friend, and the PC keeps crashing at random (quite rare) intervals to a blue screen (I think it was IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL but I've only seen it once).
After it crashes, the PC then says it can't find a keyboard (it's a wireless USB model and works fine when it's not crashing without producing the error. I took it into the BIOS and disabled the halt on keyboard error option). After maybe 20 restarts the PC finally reaches windows, and it's been behaving just fine ever since. I don't know when the next crash will be although I'm fairly certain there *will* be another. Probably just after I've left or something
The last crash I saw it do was just after I'd fired up Winamp and started playing an internet radio station. That doesn't narrow it down too much - I don't know if music was being played on the other occasions it crashed, and it could be sound related or network/firewall related for all I know.
Motherboard is a soltek as said in the title (nforce 2 - I thought this was the chipset with the best sound system on it?), firewall is KPF antivirus is AVG.... Windows XP home.
Nothing more to say really. Any suggestions?
