pc keeps shuting down

  • damn thing crashed again - again whilst trying to post on here - i can't handle the crashes - so i guess i'll have to try and get another somehow/when

    latest crash code:

    0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x804E71D1, 0xEE2E25B0, 0x00000000)

    many thanks for all your input - but as the machine has crashed twice since downloading that dss thing (as it rarely crashed whilst i was online before - usually, just when doing a scan) i think i had better remove it

    i don't want the machine to go completely t!ts up

    DDS is a non-invasive diagnostic tool. It makes no registry writes/changes & does not create any permanent files/folders.

    DDS has absolutely nothing to do with the crashes.
  • thanks for the reassurance on dss - i was getting frustrated last night with the number of crashes - maybe my pc doesn't like me talking about it on mse :D

    i didn't bin the dss logs - but i still feel unsure about posting them on an open forum - would one of you lovely tech-wise people be kind enough to look at the logs via a pm - please

    • Right click Local Disk (C:) > Choose Properties
    • Click the Tools tab
    • Under Error-Checking click Check Now...
    • For Check disk options Check (Tick):
    Automatically fix file system errors
    Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors
    • Click Start
    • Click Yes to the prompt
    • Reboot and allow chkdsk to run (It may take some time)
  • cheers - will do that now

    and many many thanks for taking the time to help me out

    No problem. Let us know when it's completed.
  • yep - that took ages - but it's done - it said it was clean

    it hasn't stopped the crashing though - as it crashed as soon as i tried to go online for the first time - it had slightly different wording in the text on the blue screen and the code numbers at the bottom had changed - but i didn't make a note of them :mad:
