Hi All,


I have just had my computer restart on me and this is the error in event viewer, that I think realates to the crash? This is the PC in my sig. Any one seen this type of error before?

That's just a message telling you it's already crashed so it doesn't have any debug info attached, you'll need to go back a couple of minutes to see if anything happened causing it to crash .

Hi Ian,

Thanks for your reply.


I have had a look through and I was not able to find any errors a few minutes before this happend. I was just on the internet when a bule screen flashed up but I was not able to get any of the error cods of it, then the computer restarted.


Could this have something to do with me overclcoking the GFX card?


Thanks

That doesn't sound like a software fault then, so it could well be your OC'd graphics card... but as you weren't stressing the hardware at the time then it probably isn't.

Try disabling automatic restart on BSOD and then you can write down all the information you need next time it happens (if it does indeed occur again):

1. Click on Start and then Control Panel.
   
   Tip: In a hurry? Type system in the search box after clicking Start. Choose System from the list of results and then skip to Step 4.
   
2. Click on the System and Maintenance link.
   
   Note: If you're viewing the Classic View of Control Panel, you won't see this link. Simply double-click on the System icon and proceed to Step 4.
   
3. Click on the System link.
   
4. In the task pane on the left, click the Advanced system settings link.
   
5. Locate the Startup and Recovery area and click on the Settings button.
   
6. In the Startup and Recovery window, locate and uncheck the check box next to Automatically restart.
   
7. Click OK in the Startup and Recovery window.
   
8. Click OK in the System Properties window.
   
9. You can now close the System window.
   
10. From now on, when a problem causes a BSOD or another major error that halts the system, the PC will not automatically reboot. Rebooting manually will be necessary.

Ok just go this blue screen come up with this error on it. NVIDDMKM.SYS This happend when 3dmark was running, I was not overclocking it either.


Any ideas what this could be


thanks,

In that case I'd update your video drivers to the latest if they aren't already, as that's an NVIDIA driver file. However if they are the latest then it might need some more looking in to.

Hi Ian,


Thanks for your reply.


I was using the latest drivers at the time of this. I have now rolled back to some other drivers that I was using and I am going to test it and see how it goes. What shall I do next if this error reoccurs?


Thanks,

If you've just recently updated then rolling back might sort it - if not, I've not got a clue. Normally with errors like that its a bug in a driver release, so changing it usually works.

Hi Ian,


Thanks for your reply.


Is there any possibility that I could have damaged the GFX card when over clocking it too much?

Thanks,

Hi,

It has just crashed again in 3dmark.
