My system hasnt been running very stable lately (lots of blue screens and random windows services stopping as well as some performance issues). Below I have provided my system specs, a list of some of the errors I have compiled over the last week, as well as an image of the results from running PassMark on my system.
System: Originally assembled 2/08. Graphics card and 2 GB of memory added 3/09. Power supply added 8/09.
Vista Home Premium 32-bit Service Pack 2
Intel E6750 @ 2.66GHz
4x1GB Corsair 240 Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Gigabyte P35-DS3L
Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 (video bios version 62.00.1A.00.60)
Earthwatts EA-650 Power Supply
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
Blue Screens: I cant think of any specific common events that trigger these (sometimes Im playing a game, sometimes Im playing music, sometimes just reading the internet)
Memory Management 0x0000001A (I dont have the rest of the numbers for this one)
0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x9AB1FFBF, 0xC6EA5C08, 0x00000000) WIN32K.sys Address: 9AB1FFBF base at 9AAA0000 Date stamp 4bdc370f
IRQL Not Less or Equal 0x0000000A (0xC0302840, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x84ABB199)
IRQL Not Less or Equal 0x0000000A (0xC0886054, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x84A71E06)
Other Errors: When I boot up sometimes I get a screen after the list of devices that simply reads The file is possibly corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum, and the system will have to be restarted to get past the screen, sometimes several times. Often when I get into windows, services will start to fail:
Windows Explorer has stopped working
Media Center Media Status Aggregator Service has stopped working
Ready Boost has stopped working
Windows Update has stopped working
Task Scheduler Engine has stopped working.
Those are all the ones I received yesterday when I booted up.
Have also been having problems with Windows Firewall being turned off and not being able to turn it back on, with Kaspersky not being able to update or with its databases corrupted. Simple reboot usually fixes those but it would be nice if they stopped happening all together.
Lastly, I ran passmark on my system and posted the results below. The only big concern I had was that my cpu ran a 997 and the average benchmark for my cpu is a 1667. Im not sure why my cpu is running at 60% of its average capability.
Any help or ideas you guys might have to help me get my system running stably would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
