doing my nut in!! help ?

argh!

a little while ago i made a topic asking for help as my pc kept on dying when i using it and when i wasnt using it, it would just power off.

suggestions was that it was my ultra x PSU not be good enough to deliver power to my o/ced rig.

so i took the advice given and bough an enermax liberty 500W psu and after i plugged it all in and turned it on i got to hearing the lovely windows log in tune and it died straight away. also, it died during the night when it was just left downloading and just did it again when i was using msn and browsing this forum.

now i dont what else to think of !? i have bought a new, rated psu, have gone from 1.485 to 1.5125 volts of Vcore and am at 2.8V on the ram (said RAM is in sig, not sure what its rated at but its o/'d by 8mhz)

any suggestions as to what the problem is ??

think may be something to do with it. its an error and it matches the times i started re-talking to a mate on msn (chat log) after it died on me

my pc said:
The COM+ Event System detected a bad return code during its internal processing. HRESULT was C0000005 from line 44 of d:\nt_qxp\com\com1x\src\events\tier1\eventsystemobj.cpp. Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services to report this error.

the link offers nothing

nope, only errors i can see are the errors of death altho i got it three during the night but i was asleep for two (at 2am and the other at 3am) but when i woke up at around 5am the pc was on but died shorty after me waking up so this log is telling me my pc turned itself back on :confused:

Dreadi · 22 May 2006 at 22:01

i know where that is and its set so it should gimme an bsod but it dont

Dreadi · 22 May 2006 at 22:02

well it did it with my old ram, now running fine in mates pc and also does it with this ram (see sig) and did it with old psu (ultra x connect 500w) and did it with the new psu (see sig, did it first thin upon new psu, see top of page)

Dreadi · 22 May 2006 at 22:11

must be. its the only one on there and it coincides exactly with one of deaths

Dreadi · 22 May 2006 at 22:16

good enough for me, the other at 5am is the same

Dreadi · 22 May 2006 at 22:17

i could probably do that, lot of hassle but may be worth ago on a weekend

Is your RAM stable?

RAM is doing 8mhz of stock with 2.8V going through it altho i havnt used memtest and it has been running in friends almost identical set up for months with out problem and see above.

how long does memtest take to run, is it an overnight jobby ?

Dreadi · 22 May 2006 at 22:25

i primed for over 11hours at 2.8 ghz with less volts but havnt done recently

Dreadi · 22 May 2006 at 22:43

Dreadi · 22 May 2006 at 23:22

Dreadi · 27 May 2006 at 22:33

ok, so its still happening even when not using msn 7.5 but now im not getting any error log.

ARGHHH! :mad:

Dreadi · 27 May 2006 at 23:09

fresh install will be a major pain in the arse and i will go to the maxtor site and get the utilty now.

thanks

Dreadi · 27 May 2006 at 23:16

Dreadi · 27 May 2006 at 23:22
