hello guys, i seem to be having a problem with my computer and have no idea on how to fix it. I used to get a BSOD when i played Supreme Commander 2, but now my computer seems to restart from a BSOD everytime i turn on my computer. Today it restarted after only 5mins of run time but didn't restart until i manually hit the power button, then it did the same thing just i as typed in my password to log in. I don't really want to delete my computer but i will if i have too, here is a thing that an error report told me.
BCCode:1000000a BCP1:00000054 BCP2:0000001C BCP3:0000001
BCP4:80502CCA OSVer:5_1_2600 SP:3_0 Product:768_1
if anyone can tell me what is going on that would awesomeness.

Sounds like a serious issue with something... I'd check your PSU with a volt meter and download the bootable ISO image of memtest86 to see if a memory modules is going bad on you - http://www.memtest86.com/

Hope Windows didn't get nuked on you.

What does the BSOD code look like? To disable automatic restarts press F8 after the computer completes the POST.

im no longer getting random restarts anymore. i seem to have fixed the problem the things i did to try and fix it include updating steam to the their latest do dad, and updating video drivers, but switching memory to different slots seems to have been the fixer. module A in slot 1 switched places with Module B in slot 2 so now module B is in slot 1 and A is in 2. Curious isn't it.
P.S. Thanks for the help

To be on the safe side have you run MemTest or Windows Memory Test? If your RAM is bad send it back to Crucial and get a new set.

i would have but im a bit confused on what to do with it. do you download an ISO image and burn it to a CD, then go into the BIOS and change the boot device priority to the cd drive? or is there another procedure?

That's pretty much it. If you are running Vista or Windows 7 you can access their memory test using F8 or these instructions below.

A Windows based program I've used to test RAM stability is Super Pi Mod. If your computer passes the 32M test without giving you an error your RAM is probably fine.

hi, its me again. After a couple weeks the problem has emerged again but this time i ran Prime95 and had Asus AI suite open, after about 5 mins the test halted on one thread (out of 2) and said FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.498046875, expected less than 0.4 Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file. Asus AI confirmed that one of the cores went down to 50% and the other went to 0% just before i stopped the test. Does this mean i need a new CPU?
P.S. i am not overclocked nor have been in the past month and a half. Memtest showed no errors in my memory either.

have you tried playing with the voltages? maybe the board is setting them too high or low at default(find the VID of the chip and set it to that if its not alread, if its already at the VID try going lower one step at a time stress testing for about 4 steps, then do the same above the VID if it doesnt work)

i set the cpu voltage to 1.300 in the bios but voltages in AI suite and PC probe II are around 1.33, is it normal for voltages to be higher then the value you set in the bios?

Have you looked for a BIOS update on ASUS' website? It's normal that the VCore isn't exactly where you set it. All of my Gigabyte boards supply less voltage than what I set in the BIOS.

Thanks for the help guys, after manually changing voltages and updating to bios 2003 my system has become stable again.
