MrC

June 23, 2005

Had another crash today, its a different message since i installed SP2. Its as follows: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_EQUAL

then some junk, and then:

STOP 0X000000D1 (0X0A8A9005,0X000000002,0X00000001,0X7C918154)

I checked on the site Whitenight77 recommended and the solution to the error code "0X000000D1" is to install SP1. Which i did have, before i installed SP2, which i presume would have had the solution anyway. I'm very confused now Plus it dosn't happen when i turn the PC off as stated on the Smart Computing site, it just randomly crashes to the BSOD. This time the BSOD has occured when ive been playing GTA:SA and not randomly like the previous crashes (see first post, which had a different error message anyway).

I'm wondering if its the USB mouse as the solution on Smart Computing : http://www.smartcomputing.com/techsupport/...5&ErrorID=21386

mentions that it is a USB related error. Im lost guys, any help would be great.

MrC (very unhappy and very hot in this blasted weather)

June 22, 2005

Well, ive had 2 BSOD's today so far. I've got new RAM and upgraded to SP2! Didn't have a single crash yesterday, which is odd because i ran it all day and most of the night without any problems. The last one today happened when i scrolled the mouse roller, which is odd as thats never happened before. If it happens again i'll write the error message down. This is starting to get to me now

June 21, 2005

Ahh sorry for not putting all the details, yeah my cpu is an AMD XP 2800+. Thanks alot for the help, this is by far the best place to come for help

Well i tried setting the CPU external frequency to 200Mhz and when it restarted it gave the processor as an XP 1346Mhz instead of 2800+ in the post. I've set the Memory frequency as 200Mhz (by selecting SPD) and that seems ok. Any ideas about the cpu external frequency, perhaps i'm missing something, or not understanding something which is more likely The mobo is an A7N8X deluxe is thats any help.

June 21, 2005

Well i updated to SP2 yesterday and ran the PC all day pretty intensively and i didn't get a crash once. I also cleaned out the interior and the fans. I've ordered some new faster RAM (its all i can afford to upgrade on my student loan ) which should be here soon. Hopefully the problem is solved, thanks for all your help

UPDATE:

The RAM came today, nice service Dabs I've got three sticks of PC3200, at 512 Mb each. When it boots up it says the memory is running at 166Mhz in dual channel mode (or words to that affect). I have the Asus A7N8X deluxe mobo, and within the manual it mentions running the memory frequency by SPD. At the moment i have it set to auto, when i run it at SPD in the BIOS it boots up at 200Mhz in dual channel mode (or words to that effect). Any ideas as to the best way to run it? I only ask as the CPU external frequeny is also running at 166Mhz, with the option to run it at 200Mhz (which i suppose is overclocking?) and i'm not sure the fastest, but most stable way to go.

Cheers.

Firstly i've not changed any hardware or installed any new drivers within the last couple of months, yet now i'm getting this damn blue screen of death telling me there are device driver errors etc. I've copied the "technical" bit at the bottom:

Stop 0X0000008E (0XC0000005, 0X053CFD1,0XEB76CB5C,0X00000000).

I'm at a real loss as to what is wrong or what to do, nothing shows up in the device manager as being wrong and i've done scans with Spybot and Adware. I tried doing a virus scan but the PC won't stay on long enough to let it finish without crashing. Its only started happening today and i'm stumped. I'll list my DxDiag to. Oh, the startup as been a bit slow for the last few months and sometimes opening up new folders takes a bit longer than usual. Hope its not the HDD

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

MrC.
