System Error (102) 1003

[woel]

Hi!

I get this error sometimes:
System Error (102) 1003
Seems to be related to my cold boot problem. I have stopped blame my motherboard since I got it changed. Now what?

I found some tips on the net that said that I should turn off System Restore...


Thankyou!

I presume that the cold boot problems have stopped ???

No I don't think it has.... But it's hard to tell because it's so f****ng hot here. Nice summer
The error code is the same as whith the old motherboard and cold boot problem...

When did you get it as the system is loading or after the system has been running for a while?

[woel]

When the system has been running for a while...
Sometimes after a long while...
If I start 3dmark, a short while...

So I doubt it's your cold boot problem then. Possible infinite loop problem also check whether your power supply is AMD approved I'm not sure the Enermax 350 is. I would be also tempted to pop over to www.omegacorner.com and download cyborgs drivers for XP if you're not already running those.
Just corrected the link. Another place to look is www.viahardware.com and look at the bios guides your motherboard maybe listed.

Thanx!

The only strange thing is that after one reboot the computer is almost 100% stable...
