Reboots when playing games, moving large files, streaming video etc.

Expand Post »

I have a rather annoying problem. My PC is rebooting a lot, without giving any BSODs. This happens when I'm moving large files, when playing certain games and sometimes when streaming videos (although this could be due to other reasons and just coincidence). There are no reboots when I leave the computer alone, and I can surf the web, watch videos on my HD, use Photoshop etc.

I recently replaced my power supply and ram due to the computer not booting at all. I had these reboot problems before this, but they were rather rare. For a week after replacing parts the reboots were also very rare, but now I can reproduce them very easily. E.g. the game Borderlands reboots in the main menu after a few seconds. First it would reboot after an hour into the game, then the time got shorter and shorter and now I can't play it. I've monitored the temps of various components, but can't seem to find anything overheating. The GPU goes to 60C+, but that's hardly fatal. I can however play less hardware-intensive games.

I ran Prime95's in-place large FFTs test and I immediately got a BSOD, but even though I had "automatically restart" on BSODs unchecked, it still rebooted, so I don't know what the BSOD was about.

Any guesses on what could be causing it?

So:
- Computer reboots when moving large files.
- Computer reboots when playing hardware-intensive games.
- Reboots might also be linked to video streaming.
- BSOD when running Prime95.
- Rebooting has become a lot more frequent over time (think of a curve with time on x-axis and reboots on y-axis).

- Recently replaced power supply and RAM, but problems existed before this.
- Cannot see anything unusual in hardware temperatures.

Re: Reboots when playing games, moving large files, streaming video etc.

Have you checked for resource conflicts? It seems that if you are banging the hardware a lot and get re-boots, that might be a place to start.

Can you let us know what your hardware set up is?
How about your OS?

Re: Reboots when playing games, moving large files, streaming video etc.

Hey Kingston,
Thats a tough problem alright & I sympathise.

Heres what I would do-
Next time it reboots write down the time & go into the event viewer.
look at all the error events that occur before and after the reboot time.
If there are no critical error events then you might be looking at a hardware problem.

Memory
Hard Drive
Mobo
Try the following software to test all your hardware.

If it fails or freezes/reboots during testing then you know the problem is almost certainly hardware.

Re: Reboots when playing games, moving large files, streaming video etc.

I'm convinced that video streaming causes reboots. It's happened too many times now for it to be pure coincidence.

I also got a bluescreen twice. One was on long enough so I could read the text. The cause was a machine check exception. This hopefully narrows the problem down somewhat (it's a rare occasion when you're happy about getting a BSOD!)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Check_Exception

Quote ...

Normal causes for MCE errors include overheating and/or incorrect hardware installation. Some specific manually induced causes could include:
Overclocking (naturally increases heat output)
Poorly fitted heatsink/computer fans (the same problem can happen with excessive dust in the CPU fan)
An overloaded internal or external power supply, which can be fixed by upgrading.

I haven't ever overclocked anything and I recently got a new and more powerful PSU, so I'll give re-seating the CPU heatsink a go. Seems unlikely that it's the cause though, as the CPU temps are always normal.

Windows also linked me to this page. Sounds strange as I've replaced RAM recently and my motherboard does support my CPU. Perhaps I should update my BIOS to be sure. There isn't any way to ensure that the computer won't reboot during the updating process, though, so I'll only do this if I have nothing else to go on.

Thanks for the reply. I checked device manager, but it doesn't show any conflicts.

How silly of me to forget to mention my hardware. I'm running XP SP3.

MSI P35 Neo
Intel C2D E6750
Nvidia 8800GTS 640mb
3 x 1gb Kingston Valueram 6400 CL5
Corsair HX620

I have a sound card but I removed it and switched to the on-board one until this problem is fixed.

Thanks for the mental support!

Event viewer doesn't show anything related to the time of rebooting. There is a Service Control Manager 7000 error regarding a service called SSPORT that pops up now and again. Apparently it's a Samsung Universal Print driver. I'll disable that service as I don't have the printer anymore.

Thanks for the link, I'll give the ultimate boot cd a try if re-seating the CPU heatsink doesn't help.

Re: Reboots when playing games, moving large files, streaming video etc.

Re-seated CPU heatsink - still crashes.

Ran Memtest86+ off UBCD - no errors after 3 hours and 5 passes. I'll run it again overnight to be sure.

Ran Mersienne Prime test off UBCD - crashed after a few minutes.

BIOS had set the voltage of memory to 1.9, when the recommended value is 1.8. It also had the clock speeds a bit higher. I changed that, but the computer still crashes.

Haven't checked hard disk yet.

I'm using Prime95's blend test (in Windows) as a benchmark. So far, nothing has changed. It still crashes within a few seconds of starting.

I've only got one file in Windows' minidump folder. Here are the debugged contents:

VAL   - MCi_STATUS register is valid
        Indicates that the information contained within the IA32_MCi_STATUS
        register is valid.  When this flag is set, the processor follows the
        rules given for the OVER flag in the IA32_MCi_STATUS register when

        flag and software is responsible for clearing it.

UC    - Error Uncorrected

Re: Reboots when playing games, moving large files, streaming video etc.

I ran the HD diagnostic utility from UBCD on my hard drive. It found several errors.

C:539 H:1 S:1615 Error: Media error detected
C:1991 H:5 S: 634 Error: ECC error
C:1991 H:5 S: 638 Error: ECC error
C:1991 H:5 S: 639 Error: ECC error

Eureka? Could this be the cause of all my troubles? I'll get a new drive today and see if it fixes everything. Fingers crossed.

Re: Reboots when playing games, moving large files, streaming video etc.

FUUUUU-

I replaced the hard drive. It crashed during Windows install. I tried again and I got it installed. However, the crashing is now even more frequent. I can be in Windows for about two minutes before it crashes.

I was able to save a minidump.

        flag and software is responsible for clearing it.

UC    - Error Uncorrected

VAL   - MCi_STATUS register is valid
        Indicates that the information contained within the IA32_MCi_STATUS
        register is valid.  When this flag is set, the processor follows the
        rules given for the OVER flag in the IA32_MCi_STATUS register when
        overwriting previously valid entries.  The processor sets the VAL 
        flag and software is responsible for clearing it.

UC    - Error Uncorrected
        Indicates that the processor did not or was not able to correct the 
        error condition.  When clear, this flag indicates that the processor
        was able to correct the error condition.

EN    - Error Enabled
        Indicates that the error was enabled by the associated EEj bit of the
        IA32_MCi_CTL register.

PCC   - Processor Context Corrupt
        Indicates that the state of the processor might have been corrupted
        by the error condition detected and that reliable restarting of the
        processor may not be possible.

Now the cause is intelppm.sys, the cpu driver. This could be driver related, as windows only started crashing after I installed drivers. I was able to run in safe mode without crashes.

Could be the hardware too, of course.

I really want to update my BIOS, but I'm afraid it might crash during the update.

Re: Reboots when playing games, moving large files, streaming video etc.

I ran Prime95 under Safe mode. Resulted in a crash D:

So I guess it's down to motherboard, graphics card or CPU.

sigh...
