Sorry. Reinstalled windows some 2 days back. I don't have any logs, i will try a scan tonight and post them tomorrow. Which one you recommend with Ad Aware or Avira?

"But that's not the issue...We just need to know whether it completes the scan with one RAM only..."

Actually i bought new RAM because of this problem. So was the case when i try to write a DVD. Not always, but at times, when it near to end, system restarts. Now i feel, these are somewhat related. I use SONY.

Didn't you scan for last 2 days??? I thought you just completed your scan...I prefer both..i guess for avira there should be 10-12 logs don't know about Ad-Ware but collectively they won't go beyond 100-200 Kb...So you can attach all of them...

Strange even though it couldn't complete the scan (either by antivirus or adware) it makes the log (Although incomplete)... That's the procedure for security product..Logs are meant to trouble shoot... Well look harder i'm sure you must be missing something...

If yes then you need to check under your product name directory..Say you use avira..Then check under "c:\program files\avira"...If you can't find then go to respective path in command promt i.e "c:\program files\avira" and type dir /s *.log or dir /s *.txt..And then check..

Since u had this problem before, It seems that ur older RAM stick is defective... Remove it! Run ur computer only on the new RAM stick... and check if the problem has gone...

Feedback...

For pics, i changed the Broadband meter settings . Now it is ok.

I tried scanning with Avira and Ad Aware. Both scan resulted in restart within seconds. Then i used safe mode. In safe mode, i used Ad Aware. It ended up in BSOD (some physical dump memory..). But when i scanned in normal mode, it was an as usual restart. Will try scanning after removing RAMs. Will update you as soon as i finish it.

@newprouser
" Next seach for the memory settings"
i couldn't find any settings in BIOS.
Let me list what i found in BIOS (i used del key)

CMOS set up Utility Copyright 1984-2005 Award Software

Standard CMOS Feature
Advanced BIOS feature
Integrated peripherals
Power management set up
PnP/PCI configuration
PC health status
Frequency/Voltage control


I checked all of them. but couldn't find anything related to RAM. The closest was Frequency/Voltage control. But it is tagged as "Change CPU's clock and voltage".

I have tune up utilities 2007. Is it useful for this kind of work?

I just scanned to see what will happen (offline). After initiating the scan, i tried to open a pic ( i use ACD see). That's all the system restarts.

" You have to use a higher rated power supply depending say 400w or above."

Can i simply choose any SMPS 400 W and above. Or is there any calculation.
your particular BIOS software doesn't have the feature to change the frequency, so u cannot do anything about it.

No tuneup utilities cannnot help with this.

the next option is to run with the new chip alone and check if it takes care of the problem.

*************

try this website to calculate approx power needed by ur system

So did you saw which driver is faulty in that BSOD??

P.S

Well i just saw that BSOD happens in safe mode where no 3rd party drivers run, only drivers which runs in safe mode are windows component. So it's 99.9 percent sure that some of your windows files are corrupt, and while scanning those files in normal mode it get restart... Also as you mentioned that you reinstall your windows frequently but i'm sure that you're using same CD for reinstalling.. Try to reinstall windows again with some another CD...

Ok. Need to find another CD....

At times, my system restarts while moving large files (mostly movies) from one drive to another (not always, 1 in 10). Is this related to this problem.

If your windows files are corrupted, any other problems are proportional to that... BSOD in safe mode = Windows File & Driver proble.. and that could lead to other problem also...

I've made some changes to your selection and I got 294 W which is pretty much close to max. power output of you ur Power Supply.

So this *MAYBE* the problem, coupled with the fact that if your mains supply goes below 220v, that can reduce the power output too.

psu.PNG

changes i made to ur selction :

  • added video card (most mobo's have inbuilt video card)
  • selected 2 RAM stick (wat u selected was SSD HDD)
  • selected full load on system & proc (I assume this coz, ur config is old,so I expect most modern AV to stress ur system resources fully)
  • addded capacitor aging (again assuming you are using this system for 1+ year , correct me if i'm wrong)

You haven't told us anything about testing with RAM removed.

Very likely. I have some voltage problems in my area. So I use a stabilizer in addition to my UPS. It helps me to work when the voltage drops ( only during peak hours).

Sorry for a late reply. My cousin had also purchased an assembled pc with amd processor & it never worked properly ( i dont know the reason till now , i guess it was a heating problem) . I myself hav tried all remedies on that pc & nothing worked out.
The solution : he changed to an intel based processor & all problems vanished.
Try doing this.
Hope your problem gets solved.
