[NF] PC Instability w/Intermittent BSOD's...

Author: Kurt @ VR-FX

Posted: 2014-04-09 11:41:59   Link

The strange part is that it doesn't happen THAT often. However, to

prevent the occurrences - I let my PC Sleep most nights. Then wake it

back up in mornings. And - the Sleep/wake process ALWAYS works!

The big problem - this PC - its my main workstation - it controls my 3D

Printer (a Pro-level printer called Mojo by StrataSys - upon which I do

all my paid client jobs). What makes it worse is that I have current

client job - its printing in 2 batches. One is short - a little over an

hour. The 2nd batch, however, is LONG - at over 16 hours - and its THIS

One that i worry about having the BSOD occur.

Any suggestions on how to track down a BSOD problem???

TIA,

Kurt

What's the stop code, Kurt? Did you google that? You're probably not going to like the answer; most likely failing hardware or bad driver software...

Kurt,

Perhaps you should turn off sleep mode?

What? Turn Off?

I Manually put it into Sleep at Night & Wake in morning. Its not some

kind of permanent mode! And its not to do w/screen/powersaver modes

either...

Richard - I shoulda mentioned its Win7 64.

Problem is - these days - STUPID Windoze goes BSOD - then stays only

little while - then reboots. I only caught it happening when I was

around it a couple of times. And, it happens so fast - it don't let me

SEE the Stop-code!

I agree it sounds like hardware. When it's asleep it's not doing anything so it doesn't break.

I think I'd run a memory test and a chkdsk for starters. If those check out oK then I'd look at CPU temperature.

When's the last time you opened the case and blew the dirt out of the fans? When the machine is working hard (as on a long 3d printer job) it heats up more.

You can halt the automatic restart of Win7 BSOD by following this:

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ht/automatic-restart-windows-7.htm

Did this start occurring after you installed some software? Uninstall

and/or restore back to a previous restore point.

Clean the case, especially fans, as folks have indicated, and clean and

reseat any modules you can access: memory, cards, wifi adaptors, etc.

Run MEMTEST overnight/over a spare day and see if that finds a problem or

blue screens.

When you run the print builds, is there a particular strain on the machine,

CPU, memory or disk space? Monitor a run and try to determine if you're

running into a heat issue (high CPU) or perhaps a memory/disk issue.

The problem I have seen is sometimes the drivers for certain hardware do not

resume. So maybe there has been a driver update recently
