Hi,

Iam running on windows xp.

My browser is mozilla.I also installed explorer, but rarely use it.

For the past few weeks, my comp shuts itself off every few minutes, abd restarts itself without warning. The time period in which it does this varies.

I went to the malware removal board, and followed all steps, so everything is clean now.

Since then, it stays on longer now, lest say 4 hrs compared to it would shut off before every 20 mins, but it still shuts itself off.

When it restarts, a box apperas telling me windows has recovered from a serious error, would u like to make a report. I lick no or the x, and the box keeps popping back up, it OwNt go away. I have learned to click and drag it to the bottom of the screen and leave it there.

Not only that, in the middle of browsing the net, an error box will appear telling me mozilla has experienced a problem and needs to close. I close it, and then reopen the browser, then a few minutes later, it will do it again. This happens with mozilla and explorer. Like the other issue, the time frame in which it does this varies. but it happens every day and i can get nothing done! Its a miracle if i get throught this post.

from the malware board, i learned that i was running two spyware blockers, that were incompatable, so i removed one, iam not sure if that is what helped keep the comp on longer or not, or if it was the removal of the 472 infections it had.

Please, is there anyone that can help?????????

Next time you get that message that "Windows has recovered from a serious error" let it send a report. It should take you to a Windows information website and tell you what is wrong.

I was having the same problem recently and let it send the report and it told me that it was a problem with my ATi video card. It was a hardware problem too. It would of taken me forever to figure it out on my own.

On your system it might be that a driver needs to be updated or there is a hardware problem. Just let it send the error report and check out the diagnosis. Also let us know what it says too.

Hi Alopeke...

Are there any numbers associated with the error message? If so, please make note of them and post them to this thread.

Please post a HiJackThis log for us so we have a little more information on what's running on your machine.

hi guys
Ill appreciate any help..I really am so close to setting this comp on fire.

When i click to send report on the mozilla problem...it says this document is associated with the report.. c:\docume~1\office\locals~1\temp\155e_appcompat.txt.

the next time i did it it said the same but it was temp\f47c.txt instead.

the windows error box doesnt show any specifics when asked to send report.

heres my log.

In safe mode:

Right click MY COMPUTER, choose PROPERTIES, choose ADVANCED, choose the SETTINGS button in the Startup And RECOVERY section, and uncheck AUTOMATICALLY RESTART

Now reboot. This will result in the BSOD error...report the STOP ERROR and any parameters.


start > run, type
eventvwr.msc
<enter>

Look under systems and applications for items with red Xs that happened at the SAME time as your problem...list them here.

hi desente, thank you so much for your help. I did what u asked and heres what i got, different things everytime....

First one i got:
stop:c000021a (fatal system error)
the windows subsytem process terminated unexpectedly with a status of oxc0000005 (oxe2c3f00a oxo102ddd8)

2nd one i got:
stop : ox0000008e(oxc0000005, ox00000043,oxBABF1F4, ox00000000)

3rd one, which retstarted as windows was loading up:
"the problem seems to be causes by the following file ACPI.SYS PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

technical info stop: ox00000050(oxFFFFFFFS, ox00000000, oxF84FASPP, ox00000000) ACPI.SYS ADDRESS F84FASPP base ar F84E7000, datestamp 41107d27

There u have it. I have no idea what it means, but i cant get anything done. sigh.

Thanks again.
pS. I forgot to mention my comp is linked to my brothers comp dwnstairs, we share the router,and some of the vwr messages i got mentioned that his comp "ZDSQUARE-MZGMSZ beleives that it is the master browser for domain transport netbt_tcpip(903bc9ao_sdb) The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced"

I also am getting drwtason pop ups and when i click send document is reads c:\docume~1\office\locals~1\temp\WER693c.dir00\drwtsn32.exe.mdmp and another that reads " " appcompat.txt.

the viewer alos mentions something about an adapter in one of its red x logs.
and
the pml driver hp212 service service has entered the stopped state.
iam very lost.

for the first one...do you have the roxio go back thing installed? i dunno...most other references for that one i've found said to try a system restore..

______________________________________________________

http://support.micro...kb;en-us;315335

for the second one...which suggests a ram failure
http://www.memtest86.com/ run this

might be related to the third one if you have lexar removable media

http://support.micro...kb;en-us;262492
if you have an hp printer

the acpi.sys file is an acpi driver....

this might fix #3

Do you have a valid XP cd?

If so, place it in your CD ROM drive and follow the instructions below

Start > Run > cmd then type

sfc /scannow (note the space)

let this run untill you get a message saying it is complete.

sfc - system file checker, retrieves the correct version of the file from %Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache or the Windows installation source files, and then replaces the incorrect file.

If you want to see what was replaced, right click My Computer > manage, expand event viewer > system.
