Problem occurred

[toru310]

This is pretty weird I left my pc for like 5 to 10 mins and after when I logged in this error showed up...after some minutes the pc restarted. After that I immediately run memtest to see if its a ram problem but it showed no errors. Could this be a hard drive failing?? Or something else?

[hobbes_fan]

could be anything really. It could be there's not enough room left to do a proper defrag, could be error due to a corrupted file, could be just a simple error etc. Consistent failure is the key here not one off popups.

Need more info. all errors are logged by xp and this should have a specific error code
follow these instruction to find that error code (looks something like 000000000cx2123544334)

Once you have that google it or post it here and so we can see exactly what is going on. ( Iassume this is the p4 system from a while back?)

Yes, its the dang p4 give me some time to do what your asking for....

Faulting application dfrgntfs.exe, version 5.1.2600.2180, faulting module dfrgntfs.exe, version 5.1.2600.2180, fault address 0x00011b59.

Just so you can save yourself some time in the future, whenever a problem occurs don't immediately assume that it's the RAM. Testing the RAM properly requires a lot of time, and generally you should only suspect that it's a RAM problem if you're using new RAM, you handled your RAM recently, or if your entire system has become unstable (not just one specific program). Even then, it's more likely that system instability is caused by malicious software than by bad RAM, if your RAM wasn't giving you problems before.

Do you have any automatic defragmenting process enabled? Turn that off and see what happens.

Or you can try running on safe mode and see if the problem still consist or maybe you need some better softshell extension but I don't think thats the case here.

Ok it's a defrag error at least that's what dfrgntfs.exe is. Have you been able to repeat this error?

@Ledgem: I'll take note of what you said.

None so far....


Also how can I see if its defragmentting automatically?

[hobbes_fan]

I don't use the Windows defragmenter but what do you mean automatically? As in a schedled maintenance task?.I use Auslogics disk defrag (free) as it seems to be faster and more efficient.

This part....

How can I see if its enabled or not?

[garra113]

I think he meant by a schedule defragmenting. Check if it is scheduled or not. If it is, disable that and try to see what happens next.

[hobbes_fan]

If you haven't set it then it's not on.

But for reference
