Error: Stop: 0x0000008e


My computer suddenly restarts, usually when the cpu usage goes to 100%. Upon bootup, if i: 1) load xp, i get the old serious error recovery message, which takes me to microsoft.com saying that my video card might need new drivers or i need to tone the acceleration down. (Both of which i've done, to no avail). 2) try loading safe mode, it crashes. 3) sometimes, the bios screen shows up saying that my computer "hung for an improper cpu speed setting". I turned automatic restart off and got the bsod saying (in short): "a problem has been detected/check for adequate disk space/check for driver updates/check with vendor for bios updates/disable memory options/safe mode etc" stop: 0x0000008e (0xc00000005, 0x78e80574, 0xbabc43c, 0x00000000).

Bsod Error After Running 3d Games - 0x0000008e

I just upgraded most of my computer a few weeks ago, and everything at the time seemed to be running fine, scoring a consistent 5075 in 3dmark03. At one point during early testing i got some bsod which worried me at the time, but after i restarted i didn’t got it again for awhile, and i kind of forgot about it. Recently i got back into allot of gaming and that’s when the bsod poped up once again (i assume it’s the same one as the one i got running the test a few weeks ago, but i can‘t be sure). At first i thought it was the game’s problem (the game being raven shield) and i just kind of put up with it since it seemed pretty rare. But then the day before yesterday i got the same bsod in the ut2004 demo, i restarted the computer and loaded the demo back up, and after about 25 minutes i got the same error again. I then loaded up the painkiller demo (a random choice) and after about a half hour of letting it sit i got the blue screen in that too. I’ve tried allot of things, like reinstalling most of my hardware drivers, disabling my soundcard (because i get a funny pulsing distorted screech along with the bsod), and nothings has worked. One lead i have is i ran memtest-86 and i got 10 errors in test 5, so that might have something to do with it. I only have one stick of 512mb ram so i can’t do much switching around to further test this possibility. Here is the error i get:

*** Stop: 0x0000008e (0xc000001d, 0x804da937, 0xf51cacf0, 0x00000000)

Error: Stop: C000021a Fatal System Error

It was working fine yesterday. But then i started my comp and i saw the motherboard logo. Then usual testing. Then the windows logo. But right before it was ready to go to logon screen it shows the blue screen with some fatal error:

Stop: c000021a {fatal system error}the session manager initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a system status 0xc000026c, i thought itwas the virus i got few days ago. I put different harddrives in different os's but nothing works. Even trying to restore stops. Everything stops with some fatal error. Now i'm pretty sure it's the hardware. But how do i know which part it is. I mean more likely it's the video card. Cause i overclocked it, but how do i find out for sure what's causing the problem
Is it even hardware? I'm completely clueless. Please help. My stupid windows xp doesnt start on other comps. I'm pretty sure it works just doesnt like hardware. But it contains a lot of information i cant delete.

Error: Stop: 0x0000007e - Windows Loading Error

I have encountered a problem when installing windows xp on a bare system. It starts up fine, then loads into the windows blue screen, checking for hardware configuration, but then upon windows startup, it stops and announces an error. Stop: 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0x80840a02, 0xf78d205c, 0xf78d1d58). Any advice as to what to do would be helpful, i believe the problem to be either having the cpu been installed (physically) but no drivers yet in place or something to do with the hdd configuration.

7b Stop Error Bsod

Ok, i wanted to reinstall my graphics drivers. So using the ati install manager i express uninstalled everything. Rebooted, and now i'm stuck with a 7b stop error bsod on every boot. Safe mode or normal boot, doesn't matter, same error. I've done some googling and it seems to relate to the boot devices. I can only assume that the ati install manager stupidly uninstalled my raid driver. Unfortunately, all the information i can find relates to installs and upgrades, and to ahci and i can't find anything to tell me how to fix this.

Error: Machine_check_exception - Stop: 0x00000009c

I built a new computer last week, and it was working great for the first couple of days, but every time i turned it on it loaded slower and slower until windows would no longer load. I've tried installing windows 3 times now, and every time i get the same problem after a few bootups. The last time i turned it on i got the following error message:

Stop: 0x00000009c ( 0x00000004, 0x8054d5fo, 0x8b2000000, 0x00070f0f)

Machine_check_exception

I've tried googling it, but haven't gotten anything satisfactory. Please help, i'm getting frustrated and feeling like tossing this thing out the window.

Stop Error / Blue Screen / Pc Restarting

Whenever i try and open (or even point with the cursor) at a particular folder my pc restarts. Then i get the blue screen with this error message:

A problem has been detected and windows have been shutdown to prevent damage to your computer. If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adaptors. Check with your hardware vendor for any bios updates. Disable bios memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press f8 to select advanced startup options, and then select safe mode. Technical information:

Sata And Ide Drives Blue Screen Stop Error

I just built my first computer and am having difficulties installing windows. I was able to successfully install windows on my sata drive (320gb seagate sataii), but i wanted to use this drive solely for video. So i hooked up my older hitachi deskstar 120 gb harddrive that i had to my ide connection on my new gigabyte motherboard. I unplugged my sata drive, set raid settings under bios to ata instead of sata, then inserted my windows xp disk into my cdrom drive and started the computer. The xp startup starts, installs the initial drivers, then when it tries to start installing windows, i get a blue screen stop error. What could be the problem?

I tried using my other ide drive i had (hitachi 200gb deskstar) and the same problem happens. Yet, when i start windows on my sata drive, both ata drives appear in windows and i can access them. I am able to install windows without any problems on my hitachi 120 if i do it on another computer, but it worries me that i can't do it on my new one.

Stop The Beeping

Ok. When i hold backspace, or del when there is nothing in the text input line, the computer emits this horrible sound kind of akin to a dying bird. It is the system speaker taking instructions from xchat to beep the pc speaker. Why do you still force the computer to output to the pc speaker on windows machines? You know there is such thing as a sound-card, and i can bet that about 95% of computers have it. Please fix this problem, give me a setting to change, or do something to correct this, as it is very annoying and because of this, i have stopped using xchat for windows.

Windows 7 Stop: 0x00000007e

I just finished installing the hardware to my new computer. It seems to post fine and the bios recognizes the hardware. When i went to install windows 7 i got errors and it would hang for 3min and then continue the install and hang again and then continue. One of the errors was a blue screen with various addresses "stop: 0x00000007e(0xfffffff. "

"Ntfs.sys address. " It also said to make sure i have enough disk space and that i have the latest bios verion. I thought i messed up the bios settings so i reset them to the defaults and now it says "bootmgr is missing" and won't boot at all. Asus rampage ii extreme

Stop Pc Speaker Beep

I found that even modifying the sound scheme didn't affect the command window's response to a ctrl-g (bel) character in the output. No matter what sound settings i made (muting the speakers, changing the volume) i would still get this beep at a heart-attack inducing volume level. Eventually i found that in windows xp's "advanced" options on the "volume control" applet (double-click the speaker in your system tray to bring this up) there is finally a "pc spk mute" checkbox that will shut the bloody thing up. If someone knows how to replace that horrible noise with a sensible sound i'd like to know.

Bsod With Stop 0x9c

Just thought i might get some ideas here, just got an amd 64 3000+ and chaintek mobo vnf3-250. I used my other existing parts, 120 gig hdd, 330w psu, pny 6800gt, 1 gig of pny gamer ram. So, system was running fine until this morn i get a bsod with stop 0x9c. And, i know this one is generally not a good thing. So, i think it may be lack of power as my gpu requires a 300w by itself. Doubt it's the mobo. Dunno, just wanted your guys' input.

Keyboard And Mouse Stop Working

My mouse and keyboard started to be non responsive. I would be in the middle of writing a sentence, but all of a sudden my keyboard and mouse would stop working, then about 10 seconds later start up again. It wasn't a total system freeze, because chat messages would still appear on msn, and everything would still move about on screen when i was playing a game. This happened on and off for about 1 hour, until i couldn't get the keyboard or mouse to work at all. I booted my pc this morning, but my keyboard and mouse still failed to work. It would boot into vista and xp fine (im dual booting), but they still wouldn't work - even before i could get into windows. I reset cmos, i tried switching out the ram but nothing seems to work, and the problem seems to be getting worse. About 5 mins ago, i tried to boot into xp, but my whole system froze, and my motherboard let out a faint single beep. When i boot up, i get a single beep telling me that all (should be) fine. Anyone ever had this problem? Or anyone know how to fix it? I have tried different keyboards and mice, and i've tried plugging the usb ones in different sockets, but it didn't make a difference.

Cd Writer Stop Working Randomly

I've upgraded two computers from windows 98 second edition to windows xp professional. Ever since the upgrade, the computers' cd writers haven't been functioning properly. Randomly, they will stop working, and the cd-rw drive, along with any other cd drives, will disappear from 'my computer' as though they never existed. I also notice that when this problem happens, the cd drives will show a red light, as if they're trying to burn something.

Keyboard And Mouse Randomly Stop Working

I recently put together a computer(my first build) and i had no problems with it until now. It's been working for a couple months just fine so i'm wondering if it's just something going bad. My keyboard and mouse randomly stop working, and most of the time it's while i'm playing world of warcraft. The keyboard stops working except i can still ctrl-alt-delete to get task manager, and the windows key brings up the start menu. The cursor still moves when you move the mouse, but clicking does nothing.

Hardware Stop Code In Xp Install, But Not Vista?

I'm putting a new computer together and i'm having a problem. I'm dual-booting with xp pro and vista ultimate (both are legit, fwiw ). When i install in xp, i always get a stop code error (can't remember the exact one right now. I know i got a 0x0000007a and 7b at one point). I have two sticks of 1 gb in this comp, so i took one out and tried. Still got the error. Took that one out, put the other one in. Still got the error. Not the memory. Then i decided to try vista first instead of xp, and it installed without a hitch!

So what i'm thinking at this point is that it could be the sata raid drivers i was using. So i've downloaded the latest from intel, and still am getting a stop code. Does anyone have any ideas? I've got to have xp because i use this computer for recording, mixing, mastering, etc. , And my programs aren't vista compatible yet.

Bootable Usb Drive, How Do Make It Stop ?

I tried to make my flash drive boot-able, but all it says something about sysmangr missing. Anyways, i don't need it boot-able anymore. I do need to stop it from trying to boot when it is plugged in though. Otherwise i have to remove the drive every time on boot up. How do i go about this? The bios isn't even set to boot to removable drives, so it's got to be something on the drive itself making it try to boot to it.

How Do I Stop Video Lag In Zoom Mode ?

How do i stop video judder in zoom mode? When i zoom in on a page (moderately, 115% or so) the video lags and bounces severely while scrolling, this doesn't happen when the zoom is at it's default level. The problem is that level is too small for me. What's strange is this doesn't happen in ie8. How can i maintain a moderate zoom level and keep fluid video? I tried to use a zoom extension and got the same results. I also tried messing with the scrolling feature but that didn't work either.
