Computer Hell.....
O.k so great weekend I got a new radiator fan ordered :P but something else has to strike.
The computer I spend 1200 on to build myself no less then 3 months old craps out on me today. It kept crashing to blue screen of death. I am so mad. I tested the hard drive, the memory, and the video card. The only thing left is the motherboard crapped on me. Its a Foxconn and a nice one. I have to call them tomorrow. The code I keep getting is 0x0000007e ( 0xC0000005 , 0x8052AEBE and cant remember the rest). Windows will not load just gives that error. If I cant figure this out this might happen. http://www.homelessamerican.com/0524...uter_smash.jpg /rant |
Ouch, I feel your pain. The last computer I bought in store waited until the week after it's warranty expired, then ate it's motherboard.
I used it as an excuse to upgrade. |
I would try flashing the Bios to a newer revision. the 7E bluescreen is very vague, as it can range from something as a video driver being corrupted, flaky BIOS or software corruption too.
My neighbor just had the 7e stop blue screen from a bad virus infection. It blue screened in safemode after reaching the desktop both in regular mode and safe mode. I ran a repair on his windows installation and it still the same. The only way we got it to work was after formatting it. That was the only way to get it to run stable again. Does your machine run in safemode? If it does i'd try updating all of your hardware drivers, including videocard, motherboard chipset, soundcard, network card etc... |

Take the machine down to it's bare essentials....the drive, mobo, and video. In the BIOS disable everything NOT related to those. NOW try to boot the machine. If it boots, start enabling things one at a time, until it fails to boot. NOW you know where the problem lies. Disable it, update the driver, then enable it again.

Sounds like it could be a bad mobo. The very last thing I would try is a spare power supply, since PC's can act very odd when being fed bad power.

I have a good UPS :)
And I only use Antec PSU's Nobody can tell me why the 5v dies. |
Do you have a install disc for the HD? You should be able to use it to check the partitions on the HD. I would look into that and a reflash of the BIOS.
If all else fails use the method in your pic above ^^^ |
How old are the fans in your system? How humid is your house too? That is quite odd that you go through so many power supplies.
|
I know it's odd, I usually keep a spare though. I also keep it spotless inside. I've just learned to live with it. The fans are all 12v, and it's been doing it since the system was new. Every component has changed since then, except the mobo. I built it 4 years ago.

every now and then it takes the gfx card too.... I just can't bring myself to toss it though :rolleyes: i've got 2-2.5 years on that system since snaping one of those magnetic suppressor deals on the cord. I had a spare from a printer and just gave it a shot. |

if you can, then reconnect, setup the board to boot from CD and do a repair install for your os. i can't remember if this overwrites your personal documents or not, but I don't believe it does. |
