Kindly I ask your attention.
Do you still have a warranty for you computer?
What's the age of your computer and where all parts present?
Look for it if your not shore and ask if you like ad the retailer.
If you haven't created a total system backup and/or restore point.
Please do so!
First checks:
Could you be so kind and check the System Files?
It's easy be done, it only will take some minutes. When it's done, put the file onto your desktop and check if everything has been verified.
It goes like this:
System File Checker - A great Windows fix tool.
If Windows 7 develops a problem it can often be fixed by running this utility. The sfc /scannow command (System File Checker) scans the integrity of all protected Windows 7 system files and replaces incorrect corrupted, changed, or damaged versions with the correct versions if possible.
It needs to be run from an Elevated Command Prompt.
Right click: "Command Prompt" in "Start Menu - Accessories".
Click: "Run as Administrator".
Click past the UAC Screen.
In the Command Prompt Type: sfc /scannow and press "Enter"
It might or might not need your Windows Installation Disk in case it needs to fix something. It will let you know if it does. I've seen it go both ways. It'll take a while.
If you get a message saying it couldn't fix some files you can find out which ones. When SFC runs, it logs it's actions to the C:\WINDOWS\LOGS\CBS\CBS.LOG.
Open the Elevated command prompt again.
Type in: findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt and press "Enter". This will place a sfcdetails.txt file on your desktop with the SFC scan details from the CBS.LOG.
Open the sfcdetails.txt and look for the unfixable entries.
The last time I ran this I found this entry.
"2009-08-09 13:16:27, Info CSI 000002db [SR] Unable to complete Verify and Repair transaction because some of the files that need to be repaired are in use. A reboot is required to complete this operation".
All I had to do was reboot to fix it. There were others that it was able to fix. I've had great luck running this utility on Windows 7 and Xp in the past.
Once we get Service Packs for W7 that will open up another issue but not until then. In order to run this on XP SP3 I had to make a Windows XP SP3 Slipstream Disk. It's not a problem on W7 now though. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
There's a lot of other info out there on this. You could google for it if you like.
When everything is correct, than there will be no use of doing it again.
If do so a System File error has been shown, than restart the system to let have the fixes have effect and do it again. If needed three times.
DON'T FORGET:
When you did the first check and you asked the Command Prompt to put the FSC report to the desktop, when you have to do it again, give the first report a different name, put a letter or cijfer to it. And so on.
Second:
Could you be so kind and do a dskchk?
Open Command Prompt and type chkdsk /F and press Enter.
The system will ask you if you want to do it ad the next boot, you will have the options Yes and NO. Just type Y and press Enter. Close the windows and reboot.
Thirth:
If you like, you could download Microsoft Fix it Center from Microsoft and give it a check.
Fourth:
Do you have any benchmark software?
Could you give me there names and version type please?
Get one for your disk, graphic card and memory, I don't know if there will be one for the main board.
I will look on the net too and let you known witch ones I found.
What the most important will be, is a system monitoring software, that can check the power use (Volts and Ampere) and records it all as long as the user wants. Well, it might not disturb the benchmark test.
I will have a look ad it on the net.
No matter what, I will ask the firm of your graphic card for some help too. I just give them the web address of your issue. So, they can take a look too. Unless you ask me to do not so!
Do you have another power supply with the same or more Watt's for a try?
If so, you don't have to take out the one is already in place. Just take out all the power cables and connect the once of the spare or lent from a friend to the system.
Just make shore that the connections are smooth and that you will make shore that the power supply get a good cooling.
Check the all the connections and RAM fits to be shore all is well and start the system. Give the conversion a try and all the checks with the self downloaded software.
Do you know the RAM brand?
I like to know it for checks on the net if you don't mind.
Today I will start looking for those hardware specs and issues on the net.
No need to hurry, I could use them some day this week. I have to look for those benchmark software too.
I know it's a lot of work, just do it and don't think about it. It could be to much, but the more we have checked for information we might need, the better the result might be. Hopefully something that can be fixed easy or very cheep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a question that has nothing to do with this.
Do you use a register cleaner?
If so, for how long now?
I never used one and it seems that your system is running good without any errors, I might get one myself.
Hopefully I let you known enough and that you will find the answers you seek!
Good luck and have fun doing it!
Best Regards,
MeneerWitte
PS:
, no need to hurry! I prefer it's done proper, I will wait for your message!
