Dial up modem with P4C800 causes shutdown
Hello everyone,
I have built a system using the P4C800 mainboard and p4 2.4c chip (note that the system is not overclocked). None of the pci slots are used except a 56k dialup modem. I can dial up and connect to the internet but after a few sconds i get a message from windows xp (home edition) which causes the sytem to shutdown. I removed the modem so that no pci were used and used an external 56k via the serial port. I got the same message and the sytem shut down. The reason why it shuts down is because of bad data. Apart from this the sustem performs as expected. The line works fine with my macintosh. Thanks for your help in advance. Any ideas? |

Go to groups.google.com and enter the exact error message text in quotes, as in "blah blah blah bad data", and see what pops up. By using double quotes around the string, Google will look for an exact match. I've never heard of something like this before (networking problem causes shutdown). Would it have something to do with the memory in the computer (as in, that is where the bad data is, in memory) ? Maybe if you got a copy of MEMTEST86 from memtest86.com, you could test the memory. The program is free and when you execute the download, it will prepare and format a special boot floppy for you. The floppy will not be readable in Windows, because it doesn't have a normal file system on it. It is a bootable floppy, with the memory testing program being the only code on the disk. Otherwise, post the exact error message you are seeing, as that might tweak someones memory. HTH, Paul |

Friends of my had the same problem a few months ago! They had too update
there modem driver because there the one causing the troubles! After updating the driver all works perfect. So i`ll think there must be more people with this poblem or recognize it!

I could understand if the problem was only with a PCI Winmodem and some version of PCTel driver (that does FFT and the like, to convert digitized audio from the phone line, into data), but an external 56K should be feeding data ready for the networking stack. The two modem types don't involve the same mechanism for getting the data. At some point, they'll share some code in the networking stack, but that part probably comes with the OS. I want to see what the error message is, to find out what part of the software is complaining. Paul "Paul" schreef in bericht ...

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your help. I found the solution on experts exchange. Basically the error report was calling RPC (Pemote Procedure Call) to restart with slight bits of bad data. Here is the procedure that i folled to fix it. Got to Start-Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Services-Remote Procedure Call(RPC)-Recovery Tab and choose "Take No Action" for all three choices Suspect it to be a virus of some sort. Gonna see if i can detect it. Thanks for your help "Paul" wrote in message ... In article , "Rubberduck" wrote: Friends of my had the same problem a few months ago!

It sounds like the Msblast / Blaster worm or one of it's many variants
exploiting the RPC vulnerability in Windows XP. Visit this page at the Microsoft website to find out how to protect your PC from these worms: http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/ John S.

It might be MSBLAST, which apparently will cause reboots even if a security patch has been applied. You could also try searching the various anti-virus web sites on "remote procedure call", including the double quotes. http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/msblast.shtml http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/raleka.shtml http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/lovgate.shtml HTH, Paul "Paul" wrote in message ...
