I installed the May update over my current win10 and then downloaded a whole version and installed that over it. No change. Debugging was hard because it sometimes crashes before it fully boots and sometimes within 30 seconds. Worked fine in Safe Mode So I used that source of media, I forget t he name, and re-installed win10 keeping my personal files and nothing else, no installed programs other than what comes with win10 out of the box. Then I installed Firefox, nothing else. Guess what? it still crashes with a BSOD. Sometimes before FF is started. One reason was less than or equal and another was something else. I thought this should prevent crashes? Unless it's hardware. I had run Memtest86 for 8 hours iirc before with no errors. Last nght 17 hours with no errors, 7 full passes? What else could be the problem? Optiplex 755 Win10 Pro 8 Gig RAM Originally with Vista or 7 installed. Does that matter? Should I try safe mode? What is the point? How much memory do you have? How many sticks? 8 gigs. Two iirc. try running one stick at a time in each used slot. So is that 4 possibilities? If that still fails try a new power supply. I have a bunch of power supplies that I took from full-size PC's but this PC is one size smaller, 12"x 12 or 13 x 3.5. So they probably wont' fit, right? I see that ones that do fit are only ..... not so cheap. $44 on Amazon, $20.55 on ebay, ...less for refurbished, which in this case probably means just "used". What can they refurbish? They blow out the dust? Any chance the connectors for those other power supplies I have will fit and I can just run with one of them (and the cover not on the case) until I see if it works better with a better PSU? Then I'll buy a new one. . But the advantage is that if there is a hardware problem, and not a software problem, I can use the disk clone I made just as the problem was starting, and I'll be back where I was. Rene |
