Clean install with a Genuine Microsoft XP installation disk?

I tried that too. Actually, this is the third clean install (one xp home, one xp pro [giving me two licenses for my two computers] and this "custom").

This happens on all so I don't think it's the build. If you see something to indicate it might be unique to this build, I'll try one of the others again.


Edit: It may help to know that I also ran memtest overnight (completed 13 iterations) without a reported error.

Run hard drive diagnostics: http://www.tacktech....ay.cfm?ttid=287
Make sure, you select tool, which is appropriate for the brand of your hard drive.
Depending on the program, it'll create bootable floppy, or bootable CD.
If downloaded file is of .iso type, use ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/ to burn .iso file to a CD (select "Write image file to disc" option), and make the CD bootable.

NOTE. If your hard drive is made by Toshiba, unfortunately, you're out of luck, because Toshiba doesn't provide any diagnostic tool.

When done with the above please do the following....

Go to
Start and then to Run
Type in Chkdsk /r Note the space between k and /
Click Enter ...It will probably ask if you want to do this on the next reboot...click Y
If the window doesn't shutdown on its own then reboot the system manually. On reboot the system will start the chkdsk operation
This one will take longer then chkdsk /f

Note... there are 5 stages...
It may appear to hang at a certain percent for a hour or more or even back up and go over the same area...this is normal...
DO NOT SHUT YOUR COMPUTER DOWN WHILE CHKDSK IS RUNNING OR YOU CAN HAVE SEVERE PROBLEMS
This can take several hours to complete.
When completed it will boot the system back into windows.

Let me know if this fixes the problem

I would suggest, in addition, a RAM test. The randomness of the crashes could indicate to a faulty RAM module. Please download memtest from my list of links below and create a bootable CD. Boot with the new CD and run the program for at least 1 complete cycle. There shouldn't be any errors (red lines) during the test.

Ran memtest a few nights ago and it completed 13 iterations without reporting an error.

Chkdsk /r ran last night, and Seatools for windows didn't report any errors when I ran the HD diagnostics.

I hadn't had a crash for a while (36 hours) then had a crash shortly after getting online this morning.

hello my friend. I would suggest to make a complete check of all your hardware drivers, i.e., update them. After that, as suggested above, I would make a nice clean. Unplug ram modules, use the old good eraser. I use a dryer hair in cold position to undust inside the box. Never pointing directly to cpu fan. Use small paint brush, those used by artists, to clean your mobo and parts. The brush can't be made of plastic or artificial . The best are made from wooden and animal bristle to avoid statics. And last, check if your power supply is actually supporting all your hardware. It seems weird but if your power supply is under capacity, this can make system hault and show a terrible BSOD.
Thank you my friend...

Keeping time problems is normally a indication of a low cmos battery.
What version of memtest did you use and was it a windows based version?
HD diagnostics within windows is not as complete as running outside of windows.

My experience is that the time is usually set back to some point when the battery is running low, but I'll look into it.

Memtest 4.00 from bootable CD

I'll run the Seatools again from bootable CD too then.


400W power supply for minimal hardware. I imagine they can go bad after a while. Any way to test their output to make sure it's clean? Inside of the case also got a good cleaning after the problem started.

One more question... Since the power supply was mentioned as an issue, is there any possibility that a dirty power source between the house's circuit panel and the computer's power supply could be causing these crashes? I don't know how to test that though.

The crash at least last night indicates a OS problem.
In post 4 I asked:

Sorry for the delay, I'm reviewing your topic now. This request will be closed, everyone else please start a new topic.
This is an automated reply

Your answer suggests you reinstalled but not clear on if you used a Genuine Original Microsoft disk or was it a copy?
Also let's try this:



Go Start and then to Run ("Start Search" in Vista),
Type in: sfc /scannow
Click OK (Enter in Vista).
Have Windows CD/DVD handy.
If System File Checker (sfc) finds any errors, it may ask you for the CD/DVD.
If sfc does not find any errors in Windows XP, it will simply quit, without any message.
In Vista you will receive the following message: "Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations".

For Vista users ONLY: Navigate to C:\Windows\Logs\CBS folder. You'll see CBS.log file.
Usually, it's pretty big file, so upload it to Flyupload, and post download link.


If you don't have Windows CD....
This applies mostly to Windows XP, since Vista rarely requires use of its DVD while running "sfc"
Note This method will not necessarily work as well, as when using Windows CD, because not always ALL system files are backed up on your hard drive. Also, backed up files may be corrupted as well.

Go Start and then Run
type in regedit and click OK


Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

You will see various entries Values on the right hand side.

The one we want is called: SourcePath

It probably has an entry pointing to your CD-ROM drive, usually D and that is why it is asking for the XP CD.
All we need to do is change it to: C:
Now, double click the SourcePatch setting and a new box will pop up.
Change the drive letter from your CD drive to your root drive, usually C:
Close Registry Editor.

Now restart your computer and try sfc /scannow again!


Thanks to Broni for the instructions
