Hi everybody,
I'm having a problem with a new computer I bought with Windows 7 (64bit) installed. At seemingly random points in time it will crash on me completely. I've managed to find out from a dumpfile that the likely cause of this problem is something called Rdyboost.sys
I've managed to find it listed as a driver in Windows/System32. Apart from that though I'm not sure how to find it, and was wondering if somebody could help me find any other parts of Rdyboost.sys that are located on my system. Also I'd appreciate it if somebody could let me know how to disable or delete Rdyboost.sys so that it doesn't cause my PC to crash anymore.
Many Thanks.
Shar.
Unfortunately I cannot find Rdyboost.sys in the Services list, which is one of the reasons I asked for help on these forums. Can anybody provide me with an idea of where I can find Rdyboost.sys apart from in the Windows/system32/drivers file? Also is it safe to simply delete this?
Hi there : I'm having the exact same problem - new installation of Windows 7 (not upgrade) 64-bit on a new PC (6GB DDR3 RAM, GTX275 graphics, X58 MoBo, i7 920), no unusal/non-standard devices attached, all drivers and BIOS updated. System randomly reboots every 20 mins - 2 hours. Appears to be more frequent when idle. No BSOD - just shut down/restart. Apparently a reasobably common problem across a broad range of PC forums around the globe - everyone suspects device drivers, RAM failures, MoBo failures, etc but I can't find one successful resolution on the web! Just lots of "try this" or "my best guess is.." even from Microsoft. Very curious problem.
I've tried disabling anti-virus/security software, unplugging the network cable, never sleep or hibernate, no screen savers or desktop background changes - all stock standard settings on all devices, etc. Everything passes Windows 7 compatibility checks. I've tried disabling automatic updates/installations, etc. Nothing stops the random rebooting...
Any suggests would be appreciated!
Thanks

I would probably check with the manufacturer of your specific memory modules and determine how they spec the voltages and timings, then take a look at your bios and see how your motherboard has them set, assuming that it's still at default, maybe this could be the problem, sorry, just another try this, my best guess, and a maybe. Of course that's kinda what we do here.
there is nothing in that folder, even if I turn hidden files/folders on
