I worked overnight (6P - 6A) last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Then I flipped back to day shift Wednesday and today. Tomorrow, I am back on another night shift. My sleep schedule is completely fubar :evil:

Also, I specifically asked them not to schedule me for more than 14 shifts or 160 hours.... so in October, they gave me 15 shifts, and 170 hours :|

i am currently bashing my head against my desk trying to figure out why my computer has started to get a rash of blue screens of death. any anti virus i run finds nothing. windows repair does not even slow them if anything they have become more common since trying that. i am hoping that i do not have to format my hard drive to get rid of them since i do have almost 2 years worth of info on this hard drive and i do not have enough space on either of my portables to back it all up :cry:

What are you doing when you crash? Any recent upgrades to hardware or drivers?

Any issues with my comp I jump straight into safe mode with networking then run malwarebytes, windows security, and combofix if I thinks its a virus.

Yep. Luckily enough for me I have almost nothing on my solid state drive so if I run into issues reformatting doesnt cause me any grief at all. If anything its good because then I have a completely fresh system :lol:

Time to bitch about something that has been doing my fucking head in over the last 2 years in this country and especially in my town :fitness

Topic number 1 - jogging
There seems to be some huge jogging trend at the moment.It seems to be more of some kind of fashion trend than people actually desiring to get fit.
I mean yeah there are tonnes of people in jogging clothes doing something that apparently they think is jogging.it looks pretty rediciclous to be honest.
Then there are the other people who only jog once someone sees them.Like they'll be walking along and somebody walks past or a car drives by and they will start jogging for several metres till they are out of sight and start walking again :roll:

Then there's all the people at my workplace who 'Work out'
Oh and when i say work out i mean lift some weights and try make their arms as big as possible.They don't work ANY other part of the body.Just the arms.It makes them look like fucking arangatangs.They probably have the IQ of them too.Seriously the rest of their body is skinny and they have huge arms.
Then there are some other people who work out solidly for half a year and then completly stop after gaining massive body mass from taking all those stupid sumplements.They clearly have no fucking clue how your boy works and then wonder why after dropping excercise completly for months they turn into a fat mess.

Seriously is nobody on this planet clued in on how to actually keep fit properly?If you want to do it do some proper research and don't listen to the local clown trying to press as much weights as possible to impress the chicks that he'll never get because despite them haveing a better body they are still ugly as fuck :lol:

it is totally random as to when it crashes some days its battlefield 3 some days its just surfing the intertubes. as for the AV i totally forgot about malwarebytes so i shall try that.

I really doubt its a virus or malware issue though. You can run a diskcheck but im pretty sure thatll pass too. Hard drives will just start to act slow rather than crash an entire system. My guess would be ram, video card, or mobo. Download the most recent bios for the mobo and most recent drivers for graphics card. System have any other hiccups or just out of nowhere itll crash?

Since the tech savvy among us are weighing in on Chris' issues, I'll describe my recent difficulties in hopes of a 2nd opinion/confirmation of my diagnosis.

System crashed randomly after no recent changes. Blue screen of death that resulted in auto reboot to a grey text on black bootup screen describing a bad chechsum error. It would then lock up on the repair stage until manual reboot saw system start up fine only to repeat cycle 1 - 20 minutes later.

Research on bad checksum error pointed to incorrect shutdown, virus or bad cmos battery as likely suspects but none were true in my case. Was running 2 x 2gb sicks of DDR2 RAM. I pulled both, reseated and rebooted but problem reoccurred. Pulled just one and ran with half my RAM but again it repeated. Swapped RAM sticks and again ran on single 2gb stick and it has now run fine for about 4 or 5 days leading me to conclude that the RAM that is currently not in the system has gone bad. Was hoping local retailer would be willing to test the RAM for me to verify it as corrupt but they said I'd have to take entire tower to them and pay tech service fees which I'd rather avoid. I think I just need to buy new pair of RAM but thought I'd post here before spending any $ I shouldn't or might not have to.

At work now but gonna swap back to the RAM I think is bad after work and see if problem repeats once again.

Thoughts?
Withdrawal pains :cry:

see if you can test that potentially bad ram in another computer (maybe an old unused one somewhere)... but you've probably figured it out precisely

im running fully up to date drivers for both mobo and vid cards.as for the slow downs leading up to the crash i have noticed none. i am praying its not vid cards since i am running duals right now and i really like the performance of twin cards but since they are the most expensive part to replace i am hoping its not them. i might try the yanking random sticks of ram since i have 3x 4gig sticks so i can for sure run on 2 sticks

Start with one graphics card and systematically take and put back cards and ram until you figure out if its any of them. Sucks but it just takes time now :lol:

Sounds like a plan. Luckily enough ram is pretty cheap unless you need SD or DDR

System crashed randomly after no recent changes. Blue screen of death that resulted in auto reboot to a grey text on black bootup screen describing a bad chechsum error. It would then lock up on the repair stage until manual reboot saw system start up fine only to repeat cycle 1 - 20 minutes later.

Research on bad checksum error pointed to incorrect shutdown, virus or bad cmos battery as likely suspects but none were true in my case. Was running 2 x 2gb sicks of DDR2 RAM. I pulled both, reseated and rebooted but problem reoccurred. Pulled just one and ran with half my RAM but again it repeated. Swapped RAM sticks and again ran on single 2gb stick and it has now run fine for about 4 or 5 days leading me to conclude that the RAM that is currently not in the system has gone bad. Was hoping local retailer would be willing to test the RAM for me to verify it as corrupt but they said I'd have to take entire tower to them and pay tech service fees which I'd rather avoid. I think I just need to buy new pair of RAM but thought I'd post here before spending any $ I shouldn't or might not have to.

At work now but gonna swap back to the RAM I think is bad after work and see if problem repeats once again.

Thoughts?
