R 52 with bluescreens, certain diagnoses already made

UPDATE: problem solved, see guide below!

Hey guys,.

I have a 52 R (1846 - 4CG) which shows me the following blue screen:

Hardware malfunction
Call your provider of support material
NMI: Parity check / memory parity error
The system stopped *.

Most blue screen initially occurred, when I watched a video flash in the browser, then he startet to happen completely randomly. I've updated the graphics driver some time before, but I do not exactly remember if the bluescreen started to showup then...

Since the software (browser, flash) reinstalling it did not and I have not found a possibility to downgrade the driver (graphics driver of esp.)

I just followed the tip in another thread and installed PFControl (to monitor the Temp and fan-activity):

Basetemp CPU @ 62 ° C

on Videoplaying, this goes up to 80 ° C (I stopped here, could also go higher)

Basetemp GPU @ 56 ° c.

on Videoplaying, this goes up to 65 or 70 ° C

I also uninstalled a ram module secondary, to check the weather, it's this module of ram, but the problem persisted.

Personally, I suspect the updated graphics driver...


Question: HOW can I RETROGRADER DRIVERS on the Thinkpad? Update/Edit: discovered, see third post...

What else could it be, what should I check? All comments are welcome, thanks for reading and supporting :-)

Hello

Although he was not much help here, too bad anyway, arround

I wanted to update on this thread, because the problem has been resolved...

;-)

Since it seems as if the problem is more for now, after all this is very simple:

Clean the area fan resolved the above heatproblem and therefore also the system overheating / colapse / bluesceen edition...


If you arrived on this Page through Googling the error message, here's a Plan for you:

1. If you recently updated ALL drivers or BIOS:

Use system restore to go back to the previous state: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084

OR reinstall manually the old drivers (see post below for howto)

If your update your BIOS again changes and/or report to the customer supports for a corrected version of the update.

If you manually alterd BIOS Config restore original settings

If it does not cut or is not the case:

2. install "PFcontrol" (http://fancontrol.de/view/) and monitor the temerature of the system components.

everything's using your thinkpad:

If there is any irregularity (CPU, GPU or MEMcontroller above 70 ° C, 65 or 60 respectively) and temperature

doesn't drop quickly after you stopped heavy loading system, even if fan blowing hard (3 or 4)

and heat sink is relatively cold all the time:

MOST likely your fan and heat sink is dirty. Remove the keyboard (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-46515.html)

and clean them: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_fan_noise#Cleaning_the_fan_or_removing_obstructions

It could also be nessaccary to apply for a new thermal paste, especially if your system has received a physical shock (drop a little on the tabe or similar), see

IF your brakes down system for quickly for the test to try the value fan-controll ini-controls and don't forget to put the fan up to the maximum.

If your time are normal and move quickly up and down:

2. check the memory for damage (use of memtest86 or similar tools),

IF you receive errors: check each module of separately to know we're down

IF all are faulty: don't forget to check the faulty memory also in another location, to be sure, it is not the location or the motherboard, which is defective

replace the faulty memory

3 IF all above doesn't fix them your problem: well, here be dragons... let helps them to take care of it

or out on your own to find out and to extend this help you are welcome
