Hi there, I've been having troubles with my PC on and off for the past few weeks now, and I cannot pin down what is causing it. Just before while using Photoshop I got error 36, which occurs "when reading or writing to the scratch disk", causing it to crash. Right after, all applications began to fail until Windows Explorer went and I had to restart. The error code 0xc0000185 comes up again and again;
"The instruction at xxxxxxxxxx referenced memory at xxxxxxxxxx.
The required data was not placed into memory because of an I/O error status of 0xc0000185."
This would keep on occurring immediately after starting up. When I got the chance I ran the WD lifeguard diagnostic tool, which failed immediately with error code 02 - due to a hard or soft reset.
I opened the case up and pointed a fan in for a while with the PC off, and it is now working fine - the HDD passes the test. To give a bit of background, this is the latest of a litany of problems. It has been crashing with Kernel error 0x0000007A, then been unable to detect my HDD when booting up (0xc00000e9) - usually it needs to be left off for a while - I do use my computer for up to 10-12 hours at a time, but rarely anything intensive and I haven't discovered any overheating problems. It has crashed and said it was an issue with the display drivers, which I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have tested all the RAM individually with memtest, as well as all RAM slots, which have passed, though doing a test shortly after a crash also yields errors, as with testing the HDD. I have also wiped the HDD and reinstalled Windows 7.
I've looked around the Internet, but the issues seem to vary from thread to thread, so I'm kind of at a loss. The HDD does seem to be a recurring factor, but I can't know for sure. Have you guys and girls got any suggestions? Anything is welcome! Cheers.
