Computer reboots unexpectedly and applications err frequently
LockedI am technically savvy, though baffled. I designed and built a computer system selecting the individual components.
Recently, my computer system has been randomly rebooting (Windows XP Pro SP2). Additionally, applications ranging from GAIM, to Firefox to Neverwinter Nights are crashing with application errors. The modules causing these errors are sometimes the application executable itself, other times a supporting DLL.
More often than not, the memory offset for these errors is a low value.
Recently, I had to replace the northbridge stock fan/heatsink on the DFI NF4 SLI-DR with a Jingting Offset Cooler. Chipset temperatures are much cooler, averaging around 42C at load vs. 54C.
Any ideas what might be causing these problems? This forum is my last recourse before a wipe and reinstall. Some of my application errors
are posted below. I also have Minidumps available, though I cannot make sense of them.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
