Hello! I have had my system for a week now with issues. Sometimes the system freezes at startup sometimes after a few hours. Does not matter what I do.

Even got Freeze during windows installation Regards Tobias

2shared isn't letting me download it, can you upload it to skydrive, http://mikemstech.blogspot.com/2010/08/skydrive-uploading-files-for-community.html -- Mike Burr

Even got Freeze in BIOS just now... Now to determine if it's the Motherboa or CPU.. Disabled Speestep=same issue.. <iframe title ="Preview" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" frameborder="0" style="width:98px;height:115px;padding:0;background-color:#fcfcfc;" src="http://cid-57633307b8c26924.office.live.com/embedicon.aspx/Public/082610-23010-01.dmp"></iframe>

It appears that you have a serious hardware problem, based on the dump, I would say that it is most likely the processor (the error specifically states that it was an internal timer issue). I have also seen this type of timer issue with faulty RAM, but as you said it may also be a problem in the motherboard. I would try to rule 1-2 of these out (or simply replace the parts if under warranty) Short of replacing the processor (if it is on warranty/maintenance), I would consider testing the processor with Prime95 (use the stress/torture test) http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/ Next I would test; the RAM with Windows Memory Diagnostic and memtest86+ http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp http://www.memtest.org/ 5: kd> !analyze -v ERROR: FindPlugIns 80070005 ******************************************************************************* * * * Bugcheck Analysis * * * ******************************************************************************* WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124) A fatal hardware error has occurred.

I have tested the Memtest86+ once and it Passed. Also tested the Known Good Harddrive & Memory= Same issue. Also tested new graphic card= same issue. As It freezes in BIOS It is CPU or/and Motherboard, And I have no spare I can test there. So I will return it to where I bought it. And let them test it And then Return new working components. Thanks for your support! Very much Appreciated. Regards Tobias

It was the Videocard... First I tested brand new: Radeon 5850, Same problem then I tested brand new: Asus Geforce GTX 470 same issue, Then I tested Geforce GTX 295 = Worked fine. Then I bought Powercolor PCS+ Radeon 5870 = also worked. Now I will claim money back for the first 2 videocards I bought. //Tobias
