    BSOD on multiple brand new computers

    Hi,

    Our office has 3 brand new computers, all builds are the same except one has a different video card (therefore the BSOD can't be a video card problem). Every now and then each of them will crash (maybe once a week?) and a BSOD come up that says the usual:


    A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    A process or thread crucial to system opeation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated.

    blah blah blah...

    *** STOP: 0x000000F4 (different, numbers each, time)

    Collecting data for crash dump... Initializing disk for crash dump...


    I don't use these computers but apparently when the bios is entered, the boot preferences have found to be swapped.

    Computer specs are:
    OS: Windows 7 64bit
    Processor: Intel Core i7 CPU x900 @ 3.47GB
    MB: ASUS P6X58D-E
    RAM: 24GB
    Video card on 2 of the computers (not sure what the other one is) NVIDIA Geore GTX570
    1st drive - OCZ-VERTEX3
    2nd - Hitachi HDS

    Haven't found any answers yet, anyone got an idea? Thanks in advance for your help!

    It could be a problem if the paging file is not setup properly on the computer, follow the steps below to setup the paging file:

    1. Right click on Computer.
    2. Click on Properties.
    3. Click on Advanced System Settings.
    4. Click on settings in Performance under Advanced Tab.
    5. Click on Advanced Tab in Performance Options Window.
    6. Click on Change.
    7. Uncheck “automatically manage Paging File size for all drives”.
    8. Select C:/drive.
    9. Select “System Managed Size”.
    10. Click Set.
    11. Click OK.
    12. Now restart the computer when it prompts for a restart.

    If the issue still persists, then you may try Memory test, follow the steps below:
    1. Click Start.
    2. Type in Windows Memory Diagnostic in Start Search.
    3. Click on Restart now and check for problems.

    Thanks, I've changed the paging file setup on one computer so we'll see what happens. I ran the memory diagnostic and it didn't find any issues though.
