Interesting Problem

[Namakan]

Twice now, when gaming, my PC shuts locks up and I have to restart it with the power switch.

I checked the event viewer and this happened at about the same time I lost the PC

Error	9/24/2008 3:57:28 PM	WMI	10	None



Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.

Anybody have any ideas?


Can't figure it out


EDIT: These errors happened two minutes before the above one

Error 9/24/2008 3:55:52 PM HttpEvent 15016 None
Unable to initialize the security package Kerberos for server side authentication. The data field contains the error number.

Error 9/24/2008 3:55:53 PM Eventlog 1101 Event processing

Audit events have been dropped by the transport. The real time backup file was corrupt due to improper shutdown.

Error 9/24/2008 3:55:52 PM EventLog 6008 None

The previous system shutdown at 3:48:44 PM on 9/24/2008 was unexpected.

Strangely enough the same thing has happened to my PC, once today and once last week sometime. I'm quite sure the server I was playing on crashed at the same time today.
I checked Event Viewer and didn't find anything useful.

It did this once in BF2142 and once in TF2

Don't think that's it

Re: Interesting Problem

my PC used to COMPLETETLY lock up while a sound file was constantly repeating itself in the background. I couldn't push any buttons or anything. Updating the BIOS fixed the problem for me, it was a BIOSTAR ge force 6100 mobo

That's it! the sounds do loop. My BIOS is updated though

Re: Interesting Problem

you have all the latest drivers for chipset, etc?

Also try running a memtest or try running your memory in diferrent slots in single channel instead of dual. maybe even try swapping out some memory if possible.

All latest drivers


Just ran mem test for 15 hours and 45 minutes, no errors :yay:

Re: Interesting Problem

hmm, maybe get it swapped out for a different board? could be defective...

Hasn't happened lately, I'll try opening a support ticket with ASUS :)

Re: Interesting Problem

Sorry to bump, ASUS didn't know


I'm desperate for answers

Re: Interesting Problem

Have you tried seeing if you could get a replacement?

They said they'd RMA it but it may not be the board after all. :|:

Re: Interesting Problem

if memtest and stress testing (use orthos to test your CPU aswell) has come back with no errors its unlikely to be a faulty motherboard. Try testing your graphics card? download ATI tool and run a check for artifacts

Re: Interesting Problem

I already did a Prime95 test


We found it to be a GPU heat issue last night
