Aidoscuz Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 My friend has been having a few problems with a PC I built him a few months ago. The spec is in my sig, it's not actually my computer so I'm not sure what BIOS version he has. Anyway he keeps getting random blue screen errors when he's using the PC. Sometimes he gets them while playing games, sometimes when exiting them, sometimes when he opens photos, etc... There seem to be no pattern to when they occur. Most of the errors say "Device Driver Error". Also, the system sometimes hangs on the LanParty screen before the POST and needs to be restarted a few times for it to boot properly. He can run Memtest86+ and Prime95 for 12 hours without any errors. Anyone got any ideas as to what might be causing the crashes? I was thinking that it might be the PSU since it's only 430 watts, although it is 24-pin and has 17A on each +12V rail which seems pretty good.

boatasiaus Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 For device driver errors, the first place I would look is event viewer to identify the problem. Also look in Device Manager for any red x's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukdave Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 also try removing and re-installing fresh latest drivers for everything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a hell of a lot of different types of errors happening completely randomly. Anyone got any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelangel Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 the PSU seems to be the problem to me. Antec has had problems. 430 watt is low and combined with a PSU that has seen problems. try the system with a different PSU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
