Critical error and random reboots

I have gotten critical errors and random reboots lately =( and it really stinks.. anyone who know what the problem might be?
Is it my 40gb IDE hardrive I just put in?
And it only happens in games

How is your HD doing for heat? When my HDs started getting hot my system kept crashing and rebooting as well. My other thought is to try and uninstall, then re-install video drivers (with the latest drivers of course). There have been times when my system has crashed becasue my vid drivers were on the fritz. Anyways, those are just some of my thoughts.
and just like cultie said, check the jumpers to make sure they are on the correct master/slave pins.

How to fix my windows 7 message: "Windows has encountered a critical error and is closing.

Windows 7 shows the following message: Windows has encouentered a critical error and it is shoting down.

That message is usually accompanied by a BSOD. Does the PC restart after that happens? What other message is seen when that happens?

Lumia 720 - Defective Audio Jack and Random Reboot...

I purchased a Lumia 720 from Amazon.com in the US. After about a month, sound was only coming from one headphone. I thought it just might have been my headphones, but then I tried them in a friends phone and they worked fine. Other headphones didn't work either unless it was over Bluetooth. I have also been experiencing freezing and random reboots. A friends factory reset it for me several times and the issues still persist.
I need to send it in for repair; I did verify that it is in-warranty.

My Macbook Pro makes the Windows Critical Error sound randomly.

So recently my MacBook Pro 17" Late 2011 has been making the Windows critical error sound just out of the blue. It even happens when the sound is off or the lid is closed. I do not have a windows program open but i do have VMWare and Windows installed on it but it happens even with the program closed down. Has anyone ever heard of this happening?

Bold 9650 with OS 6 and Random Reboots

Hi, all,
I upgraded like many of you to the latest official OS for the 9650, version 6.0.0.431. I have been experiencing random reboots, at least 4 or 5 per day. I was wondering if any of you are experiencing the same thing? Usually, random reboots are caused by some 3rd party application, but I am having a hard time figuring out which one it can be. I think it might be either Facebook or Weatherbug causing the reboot. Not sure, but wanted to get your input. If you are experiencing random reboots with this OS, let me know.

OK...Upgrade complete. No reboot's yet. But what I did notice...some of my preloaded app/icons got doubled? Any tips how to delete either one or all so they don't come back again? I had a Curve last, and everytime I "removed" something, after an update or over time, the Icon would come back. This is my third day with my new Bold
Hey,
Probably what happened on the "pushed" icons for apps is that when you reloaded your OS, you probably restored the Service Book. Then, after your device was connected to the network, it got pushed a couple of those icons again, resulting in duplicate icons. In my case, it was the icon for VCast Apps. I went into Options>Device>Advanced System Settings>Service Book and found that I did have the VCast Apps listed twice. I deleted one of those entries and one of the duplicate icons disappeared. Now, you could delete all of those pushed icons in the Service Books, but they will reappear after a few hours. The Service Book is continually updated during the day. It connects with the network, looking for updates and it will put those pushed apps back. The only solution is to hide those apps. I just made a folder called pushed apps and moved all of thosed pushed apps into that folder. I hope this helps.
By the way, no reboots since reloading my OS yesterday afternoon. That is good. I will load Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 and let it run for 24 hours and see if I get reboots.

WIN2k, KT3 Ultra Deluxe Board, and Random Reboots

OK.
First off, let me say, the KT3 Ultra board (Deluxe) is a very, VERY nice board, and I love it with all my heart. I'm running Windows 2000 and I get great performance on games, and just all around everything.
But, for some reason, I keep getting random reboots, and I have a hunch it has to do with the 'board.
Here are my specs:
AMD Athlon XP 1600+
PNY GeForce 4 TI 4600
MSI KT3 Ultra Board (Deluxe)
512 megs of DDR RAM
Windows 2000 Professional, Service Pack 2 (all updates)
Maxtor 60 GB HD
Western Digital 60 GB HD
HP CD-ROM Drive
Genuine DVD-ROM Drive
NetGear FA310TX NIC card
SoundBlaster Live!
Any ideas, folks?

There can be a lot of reasons why you get reboots, so difficult to point to one thing that will solve it. Your PSU is big, so we can rule out lack of power.
I presume you have fiddled with the BIOS settings? What are your advanced chipset settings? In my experience lockups and reboots are caused by memory problems, so set memory to "by user" and on the slowest setings at first.
My GF4 gave reboots because the AGP slot shared IRQ11 with my networkcard. Relocating the networkcard to another PCI slot solved it. MY GF2 card didn't show this problem. So check if you have shared resources.
Take out all other cards and see if it improves the situation.
Do you have one or two memory sticks. In case of 2, try everything with one stick and also with the other to see if one of the sticks is the problem.

Unstable and Random reboot or software crash with 1536 MB RAM

Let see if any of you are a good tech..
I have this MSI KT3 Ultra 333 motherboard (its almost 2 years old) with an MSI Ti4200
The motherboard is working perfectly fine.
It has TWO memory sticks of 512 MB PC2700 DDR dimms They are in slot 1 and slot 2. for a total of 1 GB
Everything is working perfectly fine until you add 1 more dimm of 512 into slot 3
When i put the third 512 MB into slot 3 (to get the 1536MB), the computer randomly reboot and softwares become unstable.
Unpluggin internal devices like DVD, extra drives doesn't fix the problem.
This is not a virus worm spyware problem either.. The issue seems to be hardware.
Dimm 1 = Kingston DDR 333 (bought 2 years ago)
Dimm 2 = No name DDR 333 ) Bought 1 year ago)
Dimm 3 = Kingston DDR 333 (earlier model bought today)
If i take out the new Dimm, everything works fine.. if i leave the new Dimm 3 everything crash or randomly reboot.
I tried swapping Dimms places but no go.
I though the new stick in slot 3 was deffect so i removed it and put it and the second computer (a compaq) which would bring that second computer to total of 1GB. passed the test.
So it doesn't seem to be the memory stick.
Why can't i add a 512 MB dimm to the MSI KT3 Ulra 333 ?
All i want to do is to have 1.5 GB of ram but im stuck at 1GB.

The thing is...
They're all the same speed according to their numbers
i.e : KVR 333 X 64 C 25 / 512
Its typical to kingston label where KVR ( kingston value ram) , 333 (333) , x?, 64, 25 (2.5) / 512 (512MB)
The second dimm is an Infineon HYB25D2566800BT-6 , but it is not listed on infineon webpage. the 256 in the serial means 256Mb dimm on their website but it gives 512MB still. I think theres a typo on infineon website.
The third dimm is also a KVR 333 2.5 / 512 (just a newer one)
Anyway, what i did is i borrowed a 512 MB dimm Samsung from a colegue and removed the Infineon.. (yes i know, but i don't have access to a third Kingston)
I moved the newer kingston from slot3 to slot 2.
Now i have 2 kingston next to each other... then i added the Samsung 512 2.5 in third slot.
I unplugged all neons to gain some power juice..
The current setup is now
Slot 1= Kingston PC2700 333 2.5 (2 years old)
Slot 2= Kingston PC2700 333 2.5 (new model)
Slot 3= Samsung PC2700 333 2.5 (sold with presario compaq that use MSI boards)
Total = 1536 MB
Im gona give it a try.
Also, each of those dimm use certain known memory chips with the serial starting with either WDxxxx or WENxxxx , it seems some of those memory manufacturers get their memory chips from the same chip manufacturers... And most motherboard manufacturers usualy have a compatibility list with those chip manufacturers...
Anyway, it's sort of a chaos industry out there.

Freeze and random reboot. HELP!

I'm going to try to keep this short as it is a long story.
Recently I reformatted my hard drive and installed Windows XP Professional. After the installation I realized that I do not have the drivers for some of the hardware. I installed all latest drivers off their webpages but only one problem. Now the computer randomly freezes (more likely to freeze if IE or Mozilla is opened) and sometimes on rare occasion will reboot itself. I've searched and checked everywhere and found only little information. Possibly the video cards driver is too new or too old, P/S, general driver defaults, etc, etc. With the help of SIW I found that the P/S and temperatures are all normal, so that can be rulled out. My questions are; Has anyone had this type of problem or know how it can be resolved? And also, could it be possible for my RAM cards to be at fault for the freezing or rebooting?
Here is my setup:
Asus Desktop
AMD Athlon 62 3200+ Processor
MSI K8N Neo MS-7030 VER. 1 Mainboard
ATI Radeon 9550 Series AGP 256M Video Card
again... O/S is Windows XP Pro

Hang in there, these problems can be very hard to diagnose. Trust me, I know. I'm having some very similar ones.
Disable automatic reboot in System Properties\Advanced\Performance\Advanced. This allows you to see the BlueScreen information before you manually reboot.
Try uninstalling all the drivers you recently installed. Install different versions of the drivers, either older or newer, one at a time. Test things thoroughly in between. Try to document exactly what you were doing and what was loaded when you have the failure. If you get a Blue Screen, write down all the information.
Post back.

Browser on 8310 SmartPhone Edge comes up with Critical Error and cannot be used, help please?

Hi, my name is Sater and I'm the lone I.T. guy for a small medical device company (about 40 ppl) based in Fremont, CA. So...
All of a sudden my vp of marketing comes in and says that he can't use the Browser function on his BB (8310 SmartPhone Edge) anymore. Naturally I'm intrigued, but this is a very strange error that pops up. It doesn't matter how many settings I go in and change, there's no budging it. Here is what it's telling me...
"Unable to connect to the selected Mobile Data Service, please try again later. If the problem persists please contact your administrator."
So I decide after about an hour of messing with settings and getting nowhere to call AT&T support. They said when that error comes up with "please contact your administrator", it's because it can't connect to the BES server anymore and that we would have to consult that with whomever runs that server. To give you a little background, we went through an outsourced Exchange provider called TheMessageCenter.com. They were alright, but my VP of R&D was pretty bent by some of the lack of customer service skills they presented to him when he was in an email crisis. Needless to say one of the very first missions I ever had at this place was to find a new email solution and integrate the migration.
So basically AT&T said they couldn't do anything and that I would have to contact our outsourced providor (TheMessageCenter.com, since we ran both Exchange and BES through them before we switched) back to get the settings cleared off the BES server hosting his phone Pin and info. I called them up, (mind you we had been away from TheMessageCenter.com for a good couple weeks now) and they claimed they had no other active processes running for our company anywhere on their BES servers or frankly, ANYWHERE lol. So naturally he's looking at me to fix this, and I am seriously stumped! Should I do some kind of Factory reset? If so, how can I load all his contacts/settings back the way he had it? Any help on this matter, (especially if treated as urgent... I know you hate to hear that, but I said it for all you I.T. guys haha) would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks

Hi,
The browser icon uses the BES service, unless you have signed up for the BIS ONLY servcie, wherein you get access to the internet through RIM's servers.
Since your servcie is a BES servcie the access to the internet is through the BES.
The MDS is a service running on the BES to authenticate you. (and thus the error)
So, No BES = No Internet access using the Browser icon!
So, I need a little clarificatuioin.
Did you move from one BES to another? Or did the user simply switch carriers?
It sounds as if you moved from one third company BES to another third company BES... Is that right?
If so then contact your New BES and ensure that they allow ppl to use the MDS servcie for internet access (Most companies charge extra for that feature! - Because they can!).
If your hosting the BES (Now), and it was Themessagingcentre.com before, then you need to Reactivate the Handset for the new BES. I have a feeling that he is now getting the emails through the BIS service and the handset wasnt wiped and so it is stil trying to access the old BES....
So can you please give details such as:
BES - where was it hosted:
BES - where is it now hosted:
NEW BES: Is the MDS service enabled and can people currently use it to browse?
Have you tested with other BB handsets to ensure you/user are clicking the same icons on both handsets (most ppl do different things to access in their own way, so simply asking them if it works doesnt help!)
The alternative is to use the expensive WAP browser. It will work but will rack up huge charges.
Let us know how it goes...

Persistant, song skipping and random reboot - after multiple restores

My iPod is skipping songs that should work and also restarting at random when trying to play music. This has been going on for a while but now happens too often to ignore.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26488?viewlocale=en_US
I've followed everything on this troubleshoot.
-I'm using the latest version of iTunes
-My ipod is 120gb Classic, 2 years old. It previously held around 15,000 tracks but while trying to fix it, I only sync about 300 tracks.
-My files are not corrupted
-I've checked the bitrates and format, they should play without issue
-My iPod is stationary on my desk
-I've used 2 different USB cables and tryed syncing on multiple ports
-I've used resets, restores, and even used windows to reformat the drive
So where do I go from here? I'm not sure about my warranty, but if I take this in to an apple store will they solve this for me anyway?
I also want to ask if an ipod can actually handle my 15k song collection since the problem seems to get worse the more songs I add.
Ipods are advertised as being able to handle this amount of music but in general I find my ipod runs very slowly with this amount of music.

Does anyone have any advice? Please, I'm at my wits end here.

Macbook Air constant kernel task and random reboots problem

Hi my Macbook Air has suddenly started playing up after being fine since purchase. While engaged in photo editing in Photoshop a couple of days ago the fans were screaming flat out (not so unusual) but I had a look in Activity Monitor and noticed an ongoing Kernel Task, I never usually see these but now they always seem to be running hogging (at the moment 608 MB of) memory. Now today the machine has shut itself down twice too something that has happened once or twice only in the last two years . I reset the NVRAM but the kernel task is still running.
Any clues what to do next? Could it be 10.9.2 related?
Thanks
Simon

The kernel_task (pseudo-)process is always running. It should not, however, be using more than a few percent of the CPU. Is it?

Random reboots and false start issues - PSU the culprit?

Hi guys,
Every so often (seemingly randomly, sometimes after an hour of idling, sometimes after two days of being at full load), my computer reboots, flashing up a Windows XP (running a patched SP1) BSOD very quickly (I can just make out machine exception error), and then rebooting (despite me asking it not to reboot on fatal errors).
I have this PSU, which the Enermax website claims puts out 35A on the 12v rail. I've read some things on this board about people having trouble with some Enermax PSUs, though... is mine one of them?
The false starts seem only to occur on warm boots (hard and soft), and post very slowly, usually pausing on the memtest, and when detecting IDE drives, but will always boot into windows, freezing on the Windows XP loading screen (same place every time).
Full specs:
Athlon64 3500+ skt939
MSI Neo2 Platinum - 1.3 bios, running nForce 5.10's
2x512MB Corsair XMS3200PRO in slots 1 + 2
Gainward 6800GT GS
Creative Audigy 2
200GB Maxtor 7200.7 SATA (boot drive)
2x80GB Western Digital 7200/8MB drives in RAID 0
200GB Western Digital 7200/8MB
NEC 2500A DVD burner
MSI 54g wireless card in the comms slot
The above mentioned Enermax PSU
Logitech DiNovo Media Desktop
I've tried reducing HT to 3/4x, putting my RAM in slots 1/3, turning the RAM timings right down, turning fast writes off... can't think of much else. =/
Any help would be much appreciated.
Chris

Thanks for the quick responses.
I've Prime95'd for about an hour (trying to get it to fall over), and it was absolutely fine... I'll leave it going overnight tonight to see if I can trip it up over time. I need to find a floppy drive before I can run memtest86... unless there are cd-bootable binaries somewhere?
The Event Viewer is rather terse about the crashes... just telling me this:

I wonder if this is something to do with it? It wouldn't explain the false starts, but could well be something to do with windows crashing.
Again, thanks very much for the responses, and any other ideas you might have.

Random reboots - T410 T510 Win7x64

I have 2 laptops, the T410 and T510, both with windows7 x64. Both suffer from random rebooting. The T410 did blue screen a lot, and a search revealed rolling back to older nvida drivers would solve the problem. Well, it did, mostly. I still get more reboots (Critical errors in the windows logs...event 41, kernel-power), just not nearly as frequent.
My T510 is only a week old, and suffers even worse from rebooting randomly. in this case, there is no .dmp file, no blue screen, it just reboots. The windows logs only reveal that it was a critical error and that the computer restarted. I tried turning off the autorestart, but it still restarts. It can be sitting on for 12 hours and reboot, or it can be once an hour - totally random. It can be while I am working on it, or just stilling idle. This machine has had all the latest driver updates from the lenovo website, and all the microsoft updates. I am running ubuntu live cd to see if a different OS will react differently - so far it runs without rebooting, but the randomness of the event makes me want to continue testing. The only item, I guess, that is not under stress is the hard drive (Hmmm...and the shock detection program....).
I can't imagine, that I - having 2 machines acting the same way - am the only one experiencing this. Any suggestions?
UPDATE!!!!
Thanks for the replies and the links. I have found the cause of the spontaneous rebooting. I have to (somewhat) apologize to Lenovo - not 100% your fault.
I have tracked the problem down to my Maxtor Shared Storage II network storage device. Now, this hard drive backup unit is hardwired to my router, but the laptops are only wirelessly linked to it. In any case, after weeks of adding/removing 1 program at a time and waiting for random reboots, the mystery is solved. Into the trashcan for the Maxtor.
Now, if someone wants to venture a guess how some sort of wirelessly sent network "code" can reboot Lenovo computers without so much as a log file being created (wake-on-lan shut off, magic packet disabled, etc., etc. - tried it all) - I'd be interested in hearing the details. I'm guessing it's a bit of a security issue??? Hardware? Software?
