Random computer freezes and bsods shitstorm after clean install Win 7 |

What does the bsod say, and there's an option to not reboot if it's too fast for you. You can also dump everything to a file for looking. Perhaps also run in safe mode and see if things work. Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

I should stop writing those things.. Just had another bluescreen. This is the output: I also attached the .dmp file if that would help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Just made a new clean install of windows. From googling, the code 124 seems to be the "I don't know" of windows. It could be anything. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Glad you can listen to people that try to help you... Please go back and RE read my post. Also, might be worth a shot looking at a power supply. -- |

I didn't read your post carefully enough Still, after googling around alot more, I'm pretty sure it is NOT the OS that is faulty. It is most probably the PSU or MOBO. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

I've read that power supplies that are way too big may have voltage instabilities, kind of like trying to get your cruise control to drive smoothly at 25 mph, it overcompensates for any little deviation. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Mostly an overpowered PSU (if its a good one) will just not be running as efficiently as it can. Typically a good PSU will be the most efficient at 50-80% load. They shouldn't be unstable at low loads, but I suppose anything is possible. I'd suggest making sure your ram is seated properly, and the motherboard isn't shorting out against the case (I've seen that happen) or the motherboard screw stand-offs (ie: there may be an extra one somewhere under the motherboard that doesn't match up with a screw hole in the motherboard, and may be touching some metal contact on the motherboard). -- |

Actually, it might be the OS. Should be rather; it all started after a clean install, not any hardware changes. Found this post where someone linked to a windows 7 hotfix that I think might be my solution. Else I will do what you suggested Thomas. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Hardware can be flaky. It could be coincidence that you didn't have problems until you reformatted, or the problem could have been an indirect result. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

The hotfix did not work, however, I uninstalled SP1 after a freeze today and haven't got a single one after that, except for one bluescreen after 9 hours. Still not 100% sure this is a fix, but at least it's something. The bluescreens is probably hardware related but anyhow, I'm going abroad for 12 days, so by the time I get back, I will probably have to make a new thread. Thanks to all of you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Just because the PSU is only 10 months old doesn't mean it's not fubar. How long did you run memtest for? PSU would be my primary suspects. Secondarily, I'd suspect the RAM and GPU. Failing that, mobo or CPU. |
