Welcome to WhoCrashed Home Edition 2.00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This program checks for drivers which have been crashing your computer.

Whenever a computer suddenly reboots without displaying any notice or blue screen of death, the first thing that is often though about is a hardware failure. In reality, on Windows most crashes are caused by malfunctioning device drivers and kernel modules. In case of a kernel error, most computers do not show a blue screen unless they are configured to do so. Instead these systems suddenly reboot without any notice.

This program does post-mortem crash dump analysis with the single click of a button.

Just click the Analyze button for a comprehensible report ...

Home Edition notice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This version of WhoCrashed is free for use at home only. If you would like to use this software at work or in a commercial environment you should get the professional edition. The professional edition of WhoCrashed also allows analysis of crashdumps on remote drives and computers on the network and offers more detailed analysis.

Crash dump directory: C:\Windows\Minidump

Crash dumps are enabled on your computer.


No valid crash dumps have been found on your computer


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crash dumps are enabled and no valid crash dumps have been found on your computer. In case your computer does experience sudden reboots it is likely these are caused by malfunctioning hardware, power failure or a thermal issue. To troubleshoot a thermal issue, check the temperature using your BIOS setup program, check for dust in CPU and motherboard fans and if your computer is portable make sure it's located on a hard surface. Otherwise it's suggested you contact the support department of the manufacturer of your system or test your system with a memory test utility for further investigation.

I attempted to run the vew program and it installs then I put in the info hit run and get an error message run-time error "75": Path/file access error.

Please follow the steps below to enter the Event Viewer program in Vista. This will give me more information into what is causing your issue. You can get to Event viewer two ways and I will post both for you.

Method One

• On the left window pane click on Local and then expand the Windows entry. This will allow you to see every error for the past 24 hours as well as the last 7 days in the right window pane.
• Look for the ones that correspond to the times that your issue occurred.
• If any are found please double click and expand the error. This will open and give you more information on the error.
• Please include that in your next reply.

Thank you for your resaponse. I am at work tonight and will attempt to do this in the morning when I get home. I used the problem computer to post all the replies yesterday and as soon as i was done watched like 3 videos (flash i think embedded to the web page) it died again my wife said easy solution dont watch videos, LOL. Thanks again. I will post my results tomarow.

Good morning, I ran the computer til it dies and looked at the event viewer. around the approximate time of the shut down there is a red circle with a ! in it.
It states

The previous system shutdown at 05:43:47 AM on 3/4/2010 was unexpected.

as the cycle goes I checked the previous error logs and they had the same error and web address. hope this helps.

Event ID 10 is logged in the Application log after you install Windows Vista Service Pack 1 or Windows Server 2008

Could this error be causing the shutdown?

followed the instructions and it said item deleted then another box poped up stated access denied to file test vbd

ok went online and fixed those other event id errors too

ran cpu again and watched video died again.

I also conducted a visual search and noticed some of the transistors were flat on top and some were kind of bloated not like busting out there were some with what looked like marker and others had like a white material on the tops. there was one that had some dark brown sediment around it like dried up coffee. I tried to post a pic with marks on it to id the transistors but it said the attachment exceeds the size limit. could this be an issue? can I PM you with the pic to show where they are.

while i was in the casefeeling the transistors i ran accrost a half moon looks like a magnet with copper wire around it there were 3 of them by the processor. The reason i bring this up is that they were hot as couls be I checked the other ones on the board and they were cool to the touch. these three were right next to each other and by the processor fan in the area where the transistors are at. are they suppose to be hot like burn you hot?


****UPDATE****
found a transistor that has blown out the bottom and has leaked out on the mother board dunb question could this be the problem?

Yep most likely is the cause of everything.

A transistor will not leak, but an electrolytic capacitor sure will.

Did it look like the device above?

If you have leaky caps, call HP and explain your situation. If they won't help you, you'll need to repair or replace the motherboard; the latter option being the easier.

thats it thanks.
