I haven't been to these forums in a while, but when I started getting DRIVER_IRQL_NOT... bsods I knew where to come. I have an MX310. I'll download the newwest drivers and see if it takes care of it.
 
Be wary of this problem!

*** STOP: 0x000000D1 DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

*** sbpci.sys

If you're connected to the internet at the same time you're playing MIDI!

I noticed that at least with 56k, if I was connected to the internet and playing a MIDI file at the same time, the above BSOD occurs.

Has been known to occur with a SoundBlaster Audio PCI 128 sound card.

May occur with other SoundBlasters, including SoundBlaster Live!

Has anyone else had this problem?

It occured with both Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

I first noticed the problem with Windows 2000 SP3, back in 2003.

Because Windows 2000 SP3 was the newest service pack at the time, I automatically blamed SP3. LOL.

That was before SP4 was released a while later.

I already knew about this problem for a good while, but wasn't sure about posting this.
 
F4 Stop Error

To reiterate the Captain's fine thread, this error is a good sign of a corrupt operating system. I witnessed this error signature personally and sure enough system32 files were corrupt or deleted > Format and reinstall.
 
Just gotten this BSOD, but it was silent, because Windows 2000 decided to reboot:

*** STOP: 0x0000001E KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

Apparently, because my processor and/or other components on the motherboard overheated!

My cooling duct became detached and I was running ePSXe with it detached!

The stupid duck tape didn't stay!

Thus, I now feel like a crackhead! :eek: :mad: :bang head
 
What a good guide. Thanks Captain! I think with my recent string of hardware issues, I've seen just about all of these lol...So I'm getting quite familiar with them.. Is that a good thing or bad thing?

uhmm.... why did i take almost 2 yrs to see this thread... this looks like very useful/informative stuff!!

thx!! i will be visiting this thread more often for info, but hopefully i won't have to. :D
 
Another one: Stop 0x000000ED Unmountable_Boot_Device

Probably the most common BSOD out there*. Means one of two things. One, a bad sector has destroyed really key data, and windows can't mount the drive. This may sometimes, be fixed by going to recovery console and running chkdsk /r /p. Frequently though, it comes as the final stage of a failing hard drive. If you get this then hopefully your hard drive vendor gives out some kind of diagnostics that doesn't need windows to work, and you can eliminate this.


*Possibility of this happening depends on the quality of your drive, but there are a lot of really shoddy drives out there that came built into systems.
 
KERNAL_PAGE_INPUT_ERROR

0X0000007A

Bad sector(s) hard drive, data access (in this instance). Check event viewer.

Run a HD diagnostics, check SATA cables or connections, replace SATA cable if necessary. Possible HD failing.
 
BSOD Assistane PLEASE

I must admit from the outset, I am a bit overmatched here as I am not as computer support literate as many here thus, I am seeking some assistance.

Over the past month I have encountered repetitive BSOD errors of varying varieties which seem to be on the increase. I have read and tried to apply as many solutions as I could find without eradicating the problems.

I am running WIN XP Home Edition on a Dell 4600 Desktop. I have added no new hardware recently.

Through the Event viewer under Application Errors what follows is what I have found:

MCSCAN 32 Engine Installation Failed. Engine return error:3

Also this:

Faulting application sgtray.exe. Version 1.1.32.0,faulting module com ctl32.dll,version 5.82.2900.5512,fault address )x00010 bec.


and this:

Faulting application teatimer.exe,version 2.6.0.20,fault address )x0070064


Stop Error Codes look like these:

Bad-Pool-Header Stop:0x00000019 (0x00000020,0x82DE6748,0x82DE6748,
0x0A000004)

Another Stop Error Code

BAD_Pool_Caller Stop: 0x000000C2-(0x00000007,0x00000CD4,0x021F0008,0x82EBD620)

Another:

Bad_Pool_Header Stop: 0x000000019 (0x00000020,0x825401C8,0x82540478,ox0A56139E0) with the message,"Disable BIOS Memory Options such as caching or shadowing".

Then this:

WIN32K.sys Page_Fault_IN_Non Paged Area
BF801193 base at BF800000,Datestamp 48ce513a

Lastly This:

Stop: 0x0000000x50 (0xE2D9F004,0x000000000,0x80551ADC,0x00000001,80551ADC

What I have done so far"

Ran chkdisc ( I have seen mention of a need for it to run through,"Five" steps? When I ran mine it ran through three and closed automatically (Is this normal?)

Dumped Adobe Active X files and folders.

Run Defrag at least four times.

Ran my McAffee Security System scan as well as McAffee QuickClean.

Ran the freeware of Spybot SD

Ran Registry Easy.

I am at a loss at this point and would be grateful for guidance and direction remembering of course that I am not yet as skilled with this stuff as I one day hope to be~:)

Smilelink,

Could be caused by faulty memory stick, corrupt operating system or registry, hard drive issues, etc. Hard to say without tests.

Run: eventvwr.msc from your run prompt

Any errors shown? What does it say?

You need to run a memory check for bad RAM(s).

Memtest from a boot disk is best: http://www.memtest.org/


You need to run a hard drive diagnostic if you have a WD hard drive such as WDDiags found on the Western Digital site.

http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=608&sid=1&lang=en

You also need to back up and save what you need as a precaution and turn off McAfee on your windows tests.

PS: From your run prompt: services.msc > Can you take a screen shot and post the services running? Could be a trojan/virus regardless of what McAfee says.
