In the last week or so my computer has been restarting itself without warning whilst playing video games.

When I reboot I get this notice:
"A problem caused windows to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if there is a solution."

System specs if you need them:

AMD 64 X2 [email protected]
3.07Gb Ram
Sapphire 3850 256mb version
(Can't Remember Mobo)

Plz help me if you can. :)

Thanks for fast replies, my RAM is fine according to the diagnostics, I have being searching around and it seems it might be AMD Fusion for Gaming. Ill try disabling it and see what happens.

I think your first problem is the fact that you have Automatic Restart on so you can't see the error or have time to write it down, here's a guide to Un-check it so next time it happens, it will stop completely and it will give you ample time to give us the whole error.

Follow these easy steps to disable the automatic restart feature for system failures in Windows Vista.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: Disabling the Automatic Restart option in Windows Vista usually takes less than 10 minutes
Here's How:


  1. Click on Start and then Control Panel.
    Tip: In a hurry? Type system in the search box after clicking Start. Choose System from the list of results and then skip to Step 4.
  2. Click on the System and Maintenance link.
    Note: If you're viewing the Classic View of Control Panel, you won't see this link. Simply double-click on the System icon and proceed to Step 4.
  3. Click on the System link.
  4. In the task pane on the left, click the Advanced system settings link.
  5. Locate the Startup and Recovery area and click on the Settings button.
  6. In the Startup and Recovery window, locate and uncheck the check box next to Automatically restart.
  7. Click OK in the Startup and Recovery window.
  8. Click OK in the System Properties window.
  9. You can now close the System window.
  10. From now on, when a problem causes a BSOD or another major error that halts the system, the PC will not automatically reboot. Rebooting manually will be necessary.

I would probably speculate on obsolete or corrupt drivers, that or heat problem but, w/o the exact error, we are just speculating.

Good Luck

I disabled 'Automatically Restart', got into a game. Then got the BSOD. This is the error message I think:

*** STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000047 , 0x8243EB95 , 0x803F0A44 , 0x00000000)

I hope this is what you wanted because I'm sort of new to this stuff. :)

Well, you are missing something else from that BSOD stop code.Here's an example of what we are looking for: (check attachment)


I know there's a way to get to it in its entirety from within Windows after you reboot but I can't remember now.

For now, you can try doing this to see if the problems lies in your Ram (memory) or hard drive... thanks to Stew2
STEP 4

The final step is to check your RAM and Hard drive to make sure they are working properly. First you should check you RAM for errors by clicking the vista start orb and typing in the search bar MdSched then hit enter then click on restart now.

You can now check your hard drive for errors by clicking on the vista start orb and then clicking on Computer. You then right click on your hard drive and click Properties. Next go to the Tools tab and under Error Checking click on Check Now and tick both the boxes. Then click Start and reboot your pc.

Thanks for the replies but I have now solved the problem. It seemed CCC was causing the problem. All I had to do was uninstall everything ATI and CCC based and reinstall everything.

Thank you anyway. :)
