@tjreuter The message

@tjreuter
The message PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA can be caused by hardware memory errors.
Advice: Choose at start-up after you had a BSOD or get memtest86 at www.memtest86.com

I hope you know how to handle iso files.
If you have troubles doing that I can help.
Memtest86 does an exhaustive memory test.

RE: It crashed again after

Quote:

It crashed again after a few minutes running rosetta.
I have now disabled BOINC and let the pc run for the rest of the day.
I have te latetst BOINC version. 6.10.58 and the latest nVidia driver 266.58

Than this pc is no longer us of BOINC. However untill two-three weeks ago it was running fine and no new things were installed afterwards.

Memory chips can and do go bad even though it is rare, do the memtest and then if that passes try removing the gpu and see if Boinc works then, if so it could be the gpu that has the bad memory.

Motherboard/cpu/cooling

Motherboard/cpu/cooling failures are also possible, and more likely to manifest at high load; which is why I asked about CPU intensive apps that aren't boinc related. A cooling problem is easy to fix since it typically means the heatsink is clogged or the fan isn't running Coretemp will let you monitor your CPU temperature if it's up in the 80+C range under full load you're probably overheating. If your CPU temp stays relatively cool and you're still crashing it could be any of CPU/mobo/ram that are failing; and only ram offers an easy one shot diagnostic (memtest86) unless you have a 2nd system to swap parts with.

Hi guy's, Thank you all

Hi guy's,

Thank you all for the input so far.
I have let the run without BOINC and it did for 6 hours. I used the internet, windows player and a NASA live stream and did a virus scan all at the same time and the pc stayed running. After starting BOINC it didn't take long to crash.

I have to make an ISO with the memtest and will run the diagnostics cd with the system deliverd.
However I need to do an exam and study and I must find spare memory.

So it will take almost a week before I can do something with the pc.
I will let know.

Greetings from
TJ

Microsoft makes a memory tester you can download and just run, but it is not as good as MemTest.

I promised to let know what

I promised to let know what happened.

Well I have made an ISO CD with the memtest on another pc and dig out the
manual and diagnostics CD of the "problem" pc. I started it and forgot the hit DEL.
So windows started and came with a suggestion fix. That lead me to the Roxio site and to update a driver. Since then it ran for more than 80 hours. I went to work so put the pc off. And when starting this morning it is still running flawlesly and crunching Einstein.

So perhaps the Roxio driver was the cause. I keep the CD's at hand.

Thnaks for your help.

Well at least you found the possible solution, I would not have guessed that myself! Crunch on!!
