XP Plus!

[Tecnomuzik]

Hello. I put a system together for my sister using the FIC AZ11EA board with Duron proc. 1 Ghz with a Matrox G-450 16mb video. I used to get an ACPI error when I tried to access Plus! and the computer would lock up. I updated the BIOS to vcd415, (recommended by FIC) and now when I try to access anything with Plus!, the computer still locks up, but I don't get the ACPI error in the event viewer anymore, now there is a memory dump and the computer restarts. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Any ideas on what I have to do to fix it? Thanks much.

When you get a memory dump = hardware problem

It sounds like the hard drive to me

I would run some diagnostic software on the Hardware bits and pieces


Have you and IBM drive ?

if so , grab these

No, its a Western Digital. 20 GB, ATA 100, 5400 rpm

I am pretty sure Western Digital will have similar tools

Thats a mini dump error,the rebooting is because you have your computer set to reboot on a memory dump.To change this,go to the control panelp system-systemproperties-advanced-startup and recovery see the sub title system failure you'll have options to restart,etc.
