Error Message:
(10h): Coprocessor error Fault.
Translation:
You may see this error if an application tries to perform a calculation by accessing a coprocessor, but the coprocessor can’t perform it. The can mean the processor is faulty or overheated. The problem has also been known to occur when a user overclocks the processor. Overclocking involves changing a motherboard’s settings to radically increase processor speed, but it also generates more heat.
Solution:
Download and run a diagnostic tool from the processor’s manufacturer. If no problems are reported, check the computer’s fan. If it isn’t humming or it isn’t running smoothly and evenly, there are problems and you should consider replacing it. If you’ve overclocked the processor, you should reset it back to the factory defaults.
