Just freshly installed Windows to my computer and already it's doing this:

Root cause found:

unkwon Bugcheck: Bugcheck 50. Parameters = 0xe23fac, 0x0, 0x7feee9a85e5, 0x8.

Repair action: System Restore
Result: Completed successfully. Error code = 0x0
Time taken = 51933 ms

No idea what the message means.
Has done it twice now.
Any ideas?

have you isntalled all latest drivers and updates as well as flashed the latest bios?

Reficx · 24 Nov 2011 at 17:09

Haven't got all the drivers yet because the missing drivers I can't seem to find.
For example; the communications controller the driver I got off the intel website wouldn't install saying there was no intel drivers. So I'm having to use a wireless g usb atm.
The other missing driver is a bus controller. Which I can't find a driver for either.
Tried using unknown device identifier to no avail.
Managed to find the LAN driver through the Asus website.

you had several drives connected when installing? Is the system reserved partition (100MB) on the OS drive?

Yeh I've got the 100mb partition.
Pc just froze and froze earlier too, had to restart it.

Sounds like a corrupted install. Best I would say is to check all the cables particularly the drive cables, unplug all the drives except the one you want to host the OS, and do a clean re-install everything (deleting the volumes and partitions, everything). I know it's a pain with all the updates ect... I suppose you can download them and back them up on a DVD.

Use the drivers from the motherboard disk, and update to the latest. If you don't have the disk, burn a disk with all the drivers. Enable S.M.A.R.T. in the BIOS.

If you still have problems, run chkdsk on the drive (there is some tools in windows to check the integrity of a disk which is basically that).
