Possible Registry problem

[Phate]

Greetings to everyone! -

I was wondering if you might be able to provide some answers to a problem I had when I booted up this afternoon. Well, it's not actually a problem, more of a question as to why I got the message I did.

What I was greeted with at the desktop straight away was an 'info window' saying:

(!) One of the files containing the System's Registry data had to be recovered by use of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was successful.

I was just wanting to know what may have caused, or lead to, this message. I have been having a few problems with the system continuing to run - but the monitor going 'blank' all of a sudden. I have checked the monitor and connections and have conlcuded that that is not the cause for this 'blanking out' behaviour, but that it may be software/OS related.

Any help would certainly be appreciated.

-Cheers!

Hello Phate from down under

I have actually seen a thing like that but I was not lucky enough to have a stable system after word,,, in my case I found out that Video card was over heating and eventually I have to change it,, my mistake was that I did not create a recovery point when I saw That error first time ,, so it could be caused by the Video card in your case too,, you can use my experience and be smart about and create a recovery point ASAP.

Thanks for that Snowmonkey

I think that you could just be right. I dont have an old card by any stretch of the imagination, but the card that I do have is the Sapphire 9600XT which (IMHO) has a pathetic cooling setup. On EVERY other 9600XT card that I've seen they have nice, shiny heatsinks with an über-fan stuck on top.

Mine has a piddly little fan - that's it

Could be that it's heatin' up a bit...

Do you know of any way to mod a card to add a bigger (or one at all ) heatsink? I don't wan't to just 'fiddle' with a AU$230 GPU when I'm not 100% sure.
