AsusN56V, used for only 3 months started to have BSOD (memory management error) and constantly shut down and reboot. That might be because of the overheating. Somehow I've managed to solve this, but now I think some of the drivers were affected, including WiFi. It doesnt connect to usual network anymore, just says connection was unsuccessful. I've tried restoring, didn't work.

could be anything, if you're able to open up the box this solution might work http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/bsod-bad_pool_header-reboot-loop.99006/
scroll down to the bottom for Darkgreen's solution

First - re-seat the hard disk and reboot the computer. If the computer does not boot up then reboot and go into the BIOS configuration to see if the BIOS detects the hard drive. If it doesn't detect the hard drive then it could be faulty.
Then the hard drive needs to be replaced in the computer/laptop, Windows installed and the computer or laptop's device drivers plus your programs etc. to get a functioning computer/laptop again.

You are probably getting a Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD,) but the PC is restarting too fast to read it.
turn it on and after the first re-start, press [F8] about 3 times every 2 seconds, (do NOT just hold it down.)

When successful, the Advanced Boot Options Menu will appear, (if it did not, then you missed it, keep trying.) Using the Arrow-up and Arrow-down keys highlight the option that says :
"Disable Automatic restart on system failure"


This will be valid for only 1 boot, then it will go back to constant looping, (unless you do the above again lol.)


When it BSODs you need to write-down the Stop Error displayed along with any file(s)-named to be causing the error.


A common one is 0x000000D1 Driver IRQ not less than or equal


This is a device driver error....see if you can boot into one of the Safe Mode options on that Advanced boot options menu. If you CAN, then use System Restore to go back to a day BEFORE the problem began. [note: if you have a virus, the problem will likely return.]

bluescreen can be caused by a number of things

a bad driver loose or faulty lead or not having enough ram

click start control panel administration tools computer management device manager scroll through all of your devices

if you see a yellow question or exclamation mark ? ! or a red X you will need to update the drivers for this device right click select update driver/reinstall driver

if you can see your usb device but its not working scroll to Ports(Com&Ltd) right click to update driver

if you computer came with a motherboard disk the drivers could be on it

or you might have to download one

you might not have enough RAM random access memory not having enough will cause your computer to run over its maximum limits and can cause the blue screen of death and hang and cause memory dumps


make sure your ram modules have a dust free secure seating and the CPU central processing unit has thermal paste
if you dont want to install more ram uninstall some unnecessary programs

a bad or faulty motherboard lead or its connection if its a flat 40 pin ide it will be the first to fail
make sure all leads have a dust free secure connections

hope it helps

Remove the Power Cord, Open the Case and remove one of thememory chips. Set the chip aside then try rebooting the computer. If it boots, then you know the memory chip you set aside is bad so mark an x onit with an ink pen. If it fails to boot then move the chip to the nextmemory slot and try rebooting. If it fails take the chip out and set itaside, then put the other chip in and try booting it in both slots. If itboots, just to verify that the chip set aside is bad, mark an x on it and putit into the open memory chip slot and try booting.

If it is showing a blue scree of death (BSOD) and shuts down before you can read the error message try this:
Turn the computer off, then turn it on and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see SAFE MODE. Scroll down below Safe Mode and you will see an option to Disable Automatic Restart. Select it and reboot your machine. Next time it boots up you will be able to read the error message. You'll probably need a system disc or repair disc to fix the blue screen error message.

The PSU voltages can be checked with a digital multimeter at the ATX connector, 3.3v (orange), 5.0v (red) & 12v (yellow) if the DMM is indicating values of MORE than 5% variation your PSU is the likely villain (best to rule it out first).

Are you getting a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) or error messages when you PC randomly shuts down?

Try rebooting to Safe Mode. Right-click on My Computer and hit Properties. In the System Properties window, click on Advanced. Then click on Startup/Recovery Settings. Uncheck Automatic Restart. Then post the BSOD Stop Code here.

Recovery SettingsOne of the things that is quite different about Windows XP compared to Windows 9x (9x is shorthand for Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me in all their various versions), is that one can control how it responds to certain critical errors—those that cause the infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). In Windows XP, the default setting is for the computer to reboot automatically when a fatal error occurs. If that fatal error only occurs when you're shutting down, the system reboots automatically.
If you haven't changed any of the system failure settings, you should be able to see the error by looking in the Event Log. But a better long-term solution is to turn off the automatic reboot so you can actually see the error when it happens—chances are it will tell you enough about itself to let you troubleshoot further. To change the recovery settings to disable automatic rebooting:
1.
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2.
Click the Advanced tab.
3.
Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings to open the Startup and Recovery dialog box.
4.
Clear the Automatically restart check box, and click OK the necessary number of times.
5.
Restart your computer for the settings to take effect.
Now when you go to shut down and a fatal error occurs, you'll at least see it and it won't cause an automatic reboot. You still have to sort out what's causing the problem, but that gets us to the next section quite nicely.
