Stability issues (MT4) - page 2

RaptorUK:
The Optiplex 745 was from the Core 2 Duo and Pentium D era and was offered with XP Pro or Home, so it predates Vista, max RAM is 8 GB or 4 GB for the ultra small form factor model.

Mmm ... I'll go what you said then ... dust it off !!!.

I'm just trying to help, but I don't know if this helps http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html

It's a nearly new system -- I just bought it "refurbished". Dust isn't an issue.

I have moved MT4 to a virtual machine running on a stable server. I will run for a week or two there, and meanwhile, let my 'suspect' system just sit and run Windows. Hopefully the VM system will behave itself and the 'suspect' system will crash again, ruling out MT4 as the culprit.

I'm still within my 90 day warrantee, so at that point I would just try to return it.

Thanks.

Try it in (some light) linux without VM. Like Slitaz (or Ubuntu <= 9.04) and only +'Wine'. The hardware is more than enough powerful. Btw there is already tweak in slitaz (just needs to be activated) to boot 10-15 sec. faster.

If the issue is dust and cooling as I suspect you need to get the CPU doing something to make it hot . . . for example MT4 running a backtest will work the CPU. Alternatively run CPUstress overnight with the CPU at 100%
