Hi all.

I'll try to keep it brief.

I built my own PC a while ago, which decides to restart itself and crash randomly. Just the other day it completely crashed in the middle of a DVD and failed to start up properly time and time again. I got to a screen which was apparently "checking the consistency" of my disks, during which process it decided to restart itself a few times.

It works fine now but who knows when the next crash will occur.

It crashed a little while ago so I downloaded dumpchk.exe and analyzed the dump file from the time of the BSOD.

The text output from dumpchk.exe can be found in the attachment dump.txt.

Could anyone see a reason why I'm having these problems?

Many thanks in advance.

James

Maybe you can check under Control Panel - Administrator - Event Viewer during the time of shut down to see what might be happening? Are you running over-clocked? Jazz

Thanks for replying Jazz.

I wouldn't even know how to over-clock if I wanted to!

As for event viewer, the last message before the crash reads: "The Messenger Sharing Folders USN Journal Reader service service entered the running state."... hardly a smoking gun!

The other event viewer entries seem innocuous enough - this started, that was sent a start control etc.

Thanks again.
