- Test the CPU. Try a diagnostic such as TouchStone Software's checkIt. Run repeatitive tests on the CPU. While the CPU may work in real mode, diagnostics can detect errors running protected-mode instructions and perform through register checking.
- Replace the CPU. When an error code suggesting a CPU fault is returned, try a known-good CPU.
- Expand the diagnostic. If a CPU fault is not detected, expand the diagnostic to test other portions of the motherboard. If the entire system checks properly, you may indeed have a corrupt file in your application.
