Computer restarts for no reason

[Wiggo]

ppl who fiddle around with other ppl's PC's and screw them should be :snip: especially if they don't have an overclocked setup themselves. :hammer:

well this is all nice and all.....with the whole blame game sh**...but this isnt helping fix the problem.......what do i do next? anyway while i have your guys attention i have a few more errors that are less harmfull i was wondering if you could tell me how to fix : "The name "WORKGROUP :1d" could not be registered on the Interface with IP address 168.24.49.204. The machine with the IP address 168.24.53.134 did not allow the name to be claimed by this machine." AND "TrueVector engine: File "C:\WINDOWS\Internet Logs\CURTIS.ldb" was corrupt and has been copied to "C:\WINDOWS\Internet Logs\xDB6.tmp". File "C:\WINDOWS\Internet Logs\CURTIS.ldb" was corrupt and has been deleted."

Here is the full story, i came to his house to see if i can oc his system, so he can get the best he can get from that machine that he paid for. I manage to oc'ed it to 2.6 stable with 5:4 i think the fsb was at 142. Then his computer auto restart, then i try to log back on, but a window popped up called "windows activation" saying A file is missing, damage, please use installtion cd to reinstall or repair windows. I might be the overclocking but i locked the agp/pci slot. I repaired windows, thought that would help but it didn't, tried that again, but still didn't help. So we decide to reformat. And now he is here asking for help.

The 5:4 ratio is not available to 533mhz bus processors. They cannot run the RAM slower than the CPU, rather ratios like 1:1, 3:4 and 4:5.

When you get errors like that, either the RAM is crapping out (remember the ratios I just stated, its probably been taken too far) or the PCI bus is out of spec.

Try setting the FSB : DDR ratio back to 1:1.

To check out your divider and RAM speed/timings use this - www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php so you can verify this.

is this wat you wanted to see?

sorry to double post but....i dont know how to attach two images....i also have this

[Soulburner]

Seems it can't detect the speed of your memory for some reason.

But go into the BIOS and set 1:1, it may say DDR333 instead.

Mine defaulted to a higher ratio.

Well with the errors that he's gettin' it looks like that ya goin' to be spendin' sometime makin' sure that his BIOS is back in a correct state and then reinstallin' Windows again. :rolleyes2

SON OF A ****!!! i have to resinstall windows again after installing it...and installing my drivers and programs?>!?!?!?!?!?!? JESUS!!!

[Soulburner]

Maybe if it did some damage but NOT until you get this figured out.

If you install Windows with a fubar system you will only cause yourself more problems.
