I have noticed recently that my system (Windows Home XP Full, Athlon 2100
XP, CoolerMaster Heat Pipe [Yeah the loud one], Biostar M7VIF, 512 Mushkin
Enhanced DDR, 40GB IBM Deskstar, Philips CDRW4012P, a Generic 4x4x24 CDRW,
AGP GeForce4 420 MX 64 ddr, Creative SoundBlaster Live, Antec 300W PSU,
Norton Systemworks 2003, With Norton firewall, Window Update Current, DX9.0,
and all drivers current, nothing overclocked.) during Startup, my windows
startup sound studders and only does it 85 percent of the time. It
continues regular function after about a 3 sec studder. Then I notice
irregularly and intermittently when I play a Game like RTCW, GTA3, or the
like that it sometimes studders in that action and of the times that it does
40 percent of the time it continues regular function after about 4 secs or
the other 60 percent of the time it locks completely.
When I look at the Event Manager, under system it says usually a combination
of the following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Source - Atapi - error - The device, \device\ide\ideport1, did not respond
within the timeout period.
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------
Source - dcom - error
Details
Product: Windows Operating System
ID: 10010
Source: DCOM
Version: 5.0
Component: System Event Log
Symbolic Name: EVENT_RPCSS_SERVER_START_TIMEOUT
Message: The server %1 did not register with DCOM within the
required timeout.
Explanation
The server was launched but there was no reply from the server.
The application might be configured incorrectly.
User Action
Check that the application is configured properly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------
Source - cdrom - warning - An error was detected on the device ,
\device\cdrom0, during a paging operation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
During the times that it goes to complete lock then I have to soft reboot
and it boots fine. Everything works as it should then it randomly happens
again. I have not added anything new to the computer to see if it was a
hardware error. The only difference is that the last thing I added was my
memory but have been using that for about 6 mths now and without incident.
Reinstall Windows? DX9.0 error? I have tried replugging everything back in
i.e. the power cables and other ide connections thinking that was the
problem used can air to clean out the case as welll and all connection
points. I have the latest drivers for the nvidia card and Have not touched
my sound card drivers in some time as they are still current and up to date.
Please let me know if there is any other information that you would need ot
help with this problem. Thanks in advance for your time and patience.
