    Repeating and getting more frequent Kernel Error
    « on: January 15, 2015, 07:30:54 PM »
    Ok so this has been happening for a while. Today I had my computer resart on me three times withing a couple hours for what seems no reason. I looked in event viewer and it says it's a critical kernel-error. I'm doing some trouble shooting now, such as unplugging my laptop and running on battery only.

    General specs:
    Windows 7 home premium 64x (orginally windows 8 )
    Acer Aspire V3-771G-9456
    CPU: Intel Core i7-3632QM 2.20ghz
    Ram: 12gbs
    Graphics: nvidia geforce 640m gt

    Ask for anything else.

      Nevermind! The cord is way too high of a wattage for the computer. It's a 120wat when it needs 65wat.

      That makes no sense!

      Why did you drop Windows 8? You could upgrade to 8.1 free!
      Have you run diagnostics on the hard drive?
      Windows does not always report hard drive errors.  Some of the hard drive errors may be reported as software errors when, in fact, the error was caused by hardware.
      And yes, there are other possibilities. Third party software may have modified the OS Kernel and caused the error. Or even malware.
      May i suggest a hard drive test?
      Both Western Digital and Seagate  offer testing tools for hard drives.
      Here is a list:
      Free Hard Drive Testing Programs
      Hope that helps. :)

        It was 8.1. My mate and I hate 8 & 8.1 it had so many problems with games and steam and it's just... UGH

        Ya it just did it again without cord. I will do a hard drive test, at least we have a back up...

        I just ran rkill combofix adwcleaner jrt tdskiller.... it tends to crash when I'm on singularity viewer for secondlife

          It passed all the seatools tests except advanced I didn't do it due to warning of data loss.

          OK. Maybe it is not the drive.
          How about virus scans? Do you have a AV program active?
