System Failure. What Are Other Factors?(in My Case)?

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Well, i have:
Intel P4 3.0Ghz(HT enabled)
1Gb of RAM(Motherboard supports up to 2Gb)
nVidia FX5500 256MB Memory
3 HDDs:(please ignore the dots)
…Seagate IDE 160Gb (50Gb for Windows XP-frequently used & 110Gb for data)
…Seagate SATA 120Gb (for Data)
…Maxtor 40Gb (for Windows Vista)
…(Therefore, i have 4 drives in “My Computer”: C:, D:, E: & F: )
Motherboard: Asus P5V800-MX(supports Intel Pentium D)
1 CD-ROM
1 CD/DVD+-R/RW
1 expansion card installed(Winfast Global-for recording videos)
I am a massive internet user(I download alot), multi-tasker(surfing the net while copying files, downloading, printing & etc.), data keeper and absolutely NOT a PC gamer – I use my computer for personal use, education and sometimes business. I edit pictures at 3k-20k pixel sizes, create HD videos, making flash, edit sounds, etc.
While watching Eagle Eye movie(copied the file from DVD to HDD) on my XP, my computer restarted on itself. After startup, it showed “recovered from a system failure. A log file has been created” why is that?. I restarted my PC again but, now, it takes more than 30mins loading the startup. I restarted my system again, but this time i used the Vista do some check disks and defrags. I still get the self restart while watching Eagle’s Eye on Vista. I suspected that there should be something wrong. I checked the CPU fan and temp, they’re: 1950-2000RPM and 42C-51C(are these values normal?) or have i just loaded lots of HDDs? or should i need upgrade system: buy new CPU, add more RAMs and buy higher display cards? or is my OS corrupted* and needs a reformat as well as installation?
*Recently, XP showed an error about Dr. Watson(what this?) and then laggs. No errors in my Vista.
Any suggestions, explanations, & tips on how to avoid sys failure? Tnx alot!

Laptop Not Working? Hard Drive Failure?

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

I got an IBM Thinkpad T42. For probably over a year it hasn’t work, and I didn’t try to really do anything since I got a new thinkpad right before it stopped working. I’m trying to fix this up for someone now.
Here’s the problem.
When I power on, I press the blue ‘Access IBM’ button.
After a minute, i get the following message:
\minint\system32\biosinfo.inf could not be loaded
error 4096
I then restart the system until I get to the screen that tells me windows XP did not shut down normally.
I choose safe mode.
When it starts to go through everything, these are the last 2 files it gets hung up on.
mup.sys
agp440.sys (the last one)
I only include mup.sys because that’s a problem I’ve had with my other thinkpad when it overheats and crashes sometimes.
When all the files are listed, something comes up at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds saying something about pressing escape.
I press escape.
A blue screen comes up only for a second.
STOP: c0000221 {Bad Image checksum}
The image kernel32.dll is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computed checksum.
It then goes to the windowsXP load screen with the graphic and the horizontal bar moving. (it’s not frozen, just gets hung up and loops forever)
I restart the system. try ‘last good configuration’
and as I type this, it’s been about 15 minutes at the windows xp load screen.
When I start in safe mode, I also sometimes get these errors instead of the checksum one:
There has been a signature failure. A disk read error occurred.
or..
STOP: c0000221 Unknown HardError
\SystemRoot\system32\ntdll.dll
Anyone have any ideas?
Not sure if it’s corrupted files, a corrupted HDD that needs replacement or something else. I was possibly gonna sell this so I want to know if it can be anything besides the hard drive.
