Ok, I can't figure this out, so I'm turning (once again) to the
Collective. I have a customer with an AMD X2 3800+ system. In the
shop it runs fine: I've run Burn-In-Test Pro 4 and 5 for 110 hours,
I ran UT2004 in demo loop for 50 hours, and I ran various Photoshop
benchmarks. Then I just used the computer for eight hours. I also
left machine sitting overnight idle several times.
At the client's site, the machine locks (first the mouse stops
responding but one can still tap the numlock and have response from
the keyboard for a few seconds and then it locks as well) randomly
one to four times a day. Sometimes it spontaneously reboots, and
occasionally blue screens (with an 0x0000007D error.) That error
suggests RAM as a problem, but MemTest says no problems in 40 passes.
Here's my question: Can a bad USB or parallel device cause this
sort of problem? Is there anything else I'm missing?
A couple of things I forgot:
1)I've installed the AMD CPU drivers.
2)I've installed MS' dual-core hotfix.
3)I've tried it with Cool n Quiet on and off.
4)I've put in a UPS to see if it was power (there are power problems
at the site.)
5)I've tried different RAM and a different PS (Enermax 370W.)
