Weird BSOD, need some help

Josebmw · Apr 18, 2004

A strange BSOD just popped up on my computer. I dont know what it is. I'm suspecting it's the memory, and I will run memtest86. I also left my computer on overnight, with the TV tuner on, and when I woke up, I could not get the monitor to display anything or the keyboard, though the TV sound was playing on the speakers. Kinda odd. Here is a picture of what happened, when I was playing a game:

If the picture does not work, follow this link(it's a cheapo webhosting, you have to manually copy paste in to the IE browser):

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I would def say thatsa video card issue. U said you could still hear the TV tuner? thats a sign of the computer still being there. I have a similar problem where the tv image just freezes. I have a shaky video card, doesnt support SMP, so the agp bus is at 1x, not 8x where it should be.

So i guess video card. Not sure tho, hope you get it.

That is awwsome. Neo are you there? Just kidding, that looks like a vid card issue. Once had a ti4200 I overvolted the ram, looked very similar.

Yea, that could be it. Sometimes when I play games it crashes in to windows, or reboots even without a BSOD. I got a BSOD while I was online too that said "PFN_LIST_CORRUPT" and then the usual stuff below it.

So, I can't see the image...

Add a space after the addy will let you see the pic.

Oh, another BSOD, "A driver corrupted pool memory used for holding pages destined for disk" This is getting very annoying. I used prime95, and I had no errors. I also ran memtest86 and no problems there too. Might be the video drivers. They are acting funny, when I want to change the resolution or the refresh rate, I have to restart the computer, even after several reinstall of the drivers. Any ideas?

What slot do you have the tv tuner in? I would try a different PCI slot and see if that helps.

Josebmw · Apr 24, 2004

Yea, I will try that when I get back to my desktop. With my first nforce 2 mobo I had some IRQ problems with the TV tuner. In every crash I get with the NF7, it's while the TV tuner is on.

Josebmw · Apr 24, 2004

Ok, I switched the TV Tuner with the sound blaster card. No crashes yet, looks like it worked, Thanks.

Josebmw · Apr 24, 2004

I got another BSOD again, with no explanation. I was not running the TV tuner this time. This is screwed up. I might have to reinstall windows, do you guys have any ideas of what else could cause this?

Kendan · Apr 25, 2004

Wait and asnwer my question please. what pci slots are being used by what cards? I think it might be the slot the TV card was in and now the slot you have the sound card in. Try to leave that slot empty.

Josebmw · Apr 25, 2004

The TV tuner is in PCI slot 3 and the sound blaster is in the PCI slot 4 now. Yesterday, it was the other way around.

Kendan · Apr 25, 2004

OK move the soundblaster to slot 5 as long as that is 5 away from the AGP slot. See if that works.

Josebmw · Apr 25, 2004

Alright, I will try that. So I should not move the TV tuner at all? I will get back to you when I got a chance to test it until tomorrow morning.

Kendan · Apr 25, 2004

Yes it is no good moving both.

Josebmw · Apr 26, 2004

Ok, I moved it. Before I shut down the computer to put the soundblaster to slot 5, I got another BSOD saying "memory managment". I got two BSOD's while shutting off the computer (the computer was left on 6+ hours on both times), and a couple in the middle of gaming or watching TV. I will keep you posted if I get more crashes in the next days.

Josebmw · Apr 28, 2004

It looks like moving the sound blaster works, no crashes in the previous 24 hours. I will see if long term this is true, before I say windows is completely stable. Thanks guys

try running with no TV card and try crashing your PC.

(yes I do try crashing my PC when I get a new componet, like play 3 videos and 2 music apps, do some prime95 and burn in test and some graphics benchmarks all at ones for a few hours... no crashes).

1 time though I had weird red dots on my tft going down..... restart and all was fine and never happened again... that was 5 months ago....

Kendan · Apr 28, 2004

It seems as if it was an IRQ conflict of some kind.

Weird BSOD, need some help
