From: Isaac84 on 7 May 2008 11:40 Hello , I am constructing a Labview web server based remote intrumentation system, and i have instaled this server on a generic PC that often suffers from system crashes. I know i can install this server on a better machine that wont fail after several days or month of operation?. I am thinking of a custom PC formed by me with a Dual Core processor, al least 1Gb RAM, enough hard drive space, Intel motherboard and a good power source. Also i am thinking on a Dell Server, or HP machine that would garantee lots of day of good work. What would you do? Thanks and best regards

From: Isaac84 on 7 May 2008 12:10 I think the problem resides in the OS , but i dont know if its because a bad driver installation (Labview doesnt participate on this i think). The thing is i must access my computer remotely often to apply little updates the the Labview program, but it happens that after a few days i am unable to accces it because of this reboots ; when i check the PC , windows tells me that a severe error ocurred, windows crashed because of a bad driver instalation or something like that, it also says that a blue screen was displayed because of system failure ( The blue screen with memory adreesses is one of the worst system crash that windows can make in my experience) and i must send an error report. Just for adding more info, the PC i am using was built of several parts of different brands.:robotindifferent:
From: smercurio_fc on 7 May 2008 12:10 Blue screens are usually indicative of a hardware problem or a bad driver. Have you run a full system diagnostics? You may corrupted installations of drivers. Have you tried wiping the drive and reinstalling the OS? It may be worth it if you can find the problem rather than going down the route a full-blown new computer. However, if the computer is really old, that may be the best course of action. Also, just because a PC is made up of parts from different vendors doesn't mean anything. After all, even if you get a computer from Dell, it will be made up of parts from different vendors. :smileywink:

Ok, your advice sounds good and it is better than run for a new computer, i will format again my hard drive and install all of the drivers correctly, i think that should do. The computer isnt old actually it has a Pentium D processor, but i mentioned about changing the PC because i was uncertain about the problem of my PC. I will take care of my PC today and if all goes well after that( No more windows fancy blue crashes) i will metion it here. Thanks pal. |
