Solve : Pc going to crash dump? |
|
Answer» My pc is going to crash dump about every 5/6 weeks. Have you looked in the system event logs to see if there is a cause to the crash dump? Maybe it shows a reason there.. Battery ? no idea. I found these two reports from yesterday. [recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]Quote from: patio on December 28, 2013, 02:02:26 PM I suspect a flakey PSU... Thanks Patio, I have no idea where it came from or who made it, is there a way to run a check. See below Information any good phenon(tm)2x4 b55 processor 3200mhz 4 core nvidia nforce pci system management von 12e48x ata device ( cd rom drive ) nvidia gforce 6800 video card kingston ddr3 4GB ram asrock n68c-s-ucc mortherboard 500 power supply 22'' hanns-g monitorLooks like video card is causing this.... That GeForce 6800 is quite old, is it overheating at all, such as is the fan not spinning anymore or clogged up with DUST etc? You can pick up a better cheap card for this system for around $30 since your not into intensive graphics gaming. BUT also... Patio was on the same path I was on with the potential for a PSU to cause these issues. Although the error message states its related to the video card. A weak power supply can also make for graphics adapter complaints when the graphics card is not fead enough juice to operate properly. #1 - I'd check into that old video card and check temps with speedfan on the GPU, play a video on youtube or something like that to exercise it and watch the GPU temp. #2 - If the GPU temp seems fine, I'd swap the PSU unit out or buy a new PSU. If you need to get a new video card, you can find the GeForce 8400GS that is cheap and just slightly better performance than the 6800 according to benchmark. For cheap graphics cards I have been installing ATI Radeon HD5450 adapters which are far better than integrated graphics and this card can play the games that I play, but the HD5450 is by no means a high end graphics card for intensive games. Your 6800 scores like 113 and the 8400GS scores like 115, and the Radeon HD5450 scores 234, there is also an nVidia 210 in this cheap price range that scores like 180 that are all in the $30-35 price range. The Radeon HD5450 is the best deal for low cost cards right now, however you just need to be sure not to buy a passive heatsink video card unless you plan on adding a fan to blow across them because they roast without cooling fans. I have 4 of these HD 5450 cards and 2 have cooling fans and 2 are passive and had to add a fan in each system to blow air across them. I PICKED 2 more of these up for like $14.99 each on a black friday deal which sold out quickly at $25 per video card + $10 rebate that I had to send in. Hopefully i will see the $20 in a month or two.

Also there is a tab CHARTS far top right in which you can check the GPU to log the temp, minimize speedfan, and then play a video or most intensive game you can throw at it and then exit the game and maximize this speedfan and look at the temp graph log for the GPU. If it stayed below 70C the whole time then the GPU should be fine, but if it cooked during this time then the thermal compound may be dried up.Right Dave, i'll have to study that and i'll do it to-morrow, to late to-night here.Ok good luck tomorrow and sleep WELL |
