    computer error
    « on: January 15, 2016, 09:47:00 AM »
    Hi there,

    Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this...

    Every now and then my computer restarts its self and then whilst it goes through the bios this error appears see attachment.
    Anyone knows what it means and how It can be fixed. I have been thinking its the PSU or RAM on he computer.

    The computer has also had a 0cx000021a blue screen in the pass also.

    Looking at the event viewer log  there  is an DistributedCOM 10016 error  at the time it happened.


    Any ideas what it could be?

        It is a desktop.
        Hm okay, wouldn't have thought it was the battery. What made you think it could be that?

          Right interesting, I will get one and see.
          It restarts when the computer is doing a lot of work (rendering).

          What gave it away that it is defiantly the battery that's what interests me.

                  1) What is new or different since the last time everything worked properly (ie, new hw, new sw, virus, error, etc)? The errors you are getting are rarely spontaneous - they are typically caused by a recent change of some sort.

                  2) Do you have either a disc image or a restore point from before the errors began to which you can return?

                  3) Have you tried safe mode? If not, please try it and see if the bsod's occur while running in ssafe mode.

                    I think it might be the  RAM or Disk the computer had a Critical Process Died error now
