Had a couple stop errors happen so far on my new computer. First was when I was trying out Far Cry, but I had every setting cranked, and I thought at the time it was probably just an unstable setting on the game. But I just had it happen now, and Microsoft has no idea. When it goes, it just goes black, no BSD, fans all speed up like they do when coming out of low power/heat setting. And she restarts. Cock.


Error caused by a device driver

Thank you for sending an error report to Microsoft.

Information about this error

You received this message because a device driver installed on your computer caused the Windows operating system to stop unexpectedly. This type of error is referred to as a "stop error." A stop error requires you to restart your computer.

Grain, this is going to sound so lame but what size power supply do you have in her. I'm sure its adequate if you built her yourself but I had the same symptoms a few months back and after much friging around bought a new PSU and everything operated normally again. This is just a stab in the dark to try to help you out.



I received the same response from microsoft after sending them the error report, used safe mode to start everything one by one and that did no good. Assumed no device driver conflict, thats when I went the route of PSU. Yours being brand new though................ unless its a faulty power supplu unit.........

It's a 620 watt Enermax, so that should be more than enough. Possibly faulty though. I'll have to find a good fan speed and current output monitor software of some sort. Asus always has a decent PCProb with their MB's, MSI doesn't seem to have it.

Hey, I kid you not! Pain_Man can back me up. I actually received an error dialog window that said:

"Error

The operation completed successfully."

Check and see if you're getting minidump files in c:\windows\minidumps.

If you are, you can analyse them with Microsoft's debug utility.

You can also try messing with the Dr Watson program (drwtsn32.exe) to get some additional debug info.

[Grain]

Got 3 files in the minidump folder, Doc Watson doesn't give any info on them though. Where can I find Microsofts debug program?

Installed the latest video driver and found a utility at MSI's site that monitors the fans and psu output, the generic ones could give me any info for some reason. One could give the HDD temp and that was it. Kind of neat, but not crucial. Downloading the Windows DeBug Utility now, OH! Goody! A dual core processsor and it still takes 1.5 hours to download a 12MB file "Your only as fast as your slowest component". Fuck.

tryed to phone Grain, just keep getting a busy signal, must be downloading something big...............

[lfcrule1972]

I installed a PC for my wife's friend last week - they only have dialup so it pissed on me d/l a prog from Zonelabs - reckoned it was gonna take 2.5 hours !!!

I came back to ours, grabbed it via Broadband, burnt it to a CD-RW and went back to theirs, installed it and got it set up in 30 mins !!!

[Grain]

Can get hi-speed now, but need to buy $500 worth of hardware first. Will likely do it sooner rather than later though.

[lfcrule1972]

Christ !! Our hardware required for Broadband is all free here.........

$500? Unless you're getting some whizzbang new fangled connection with state of the art hardware that's bundled with other services like cable tv, mobile phone or landline deals, I think they're pullin' yer puddin'.
An ADSL modem/4-port router is only worth 50 bucks these days, less in US dollars. What sort of hardware are you looking at?

[chewy]

canada's a big open country, lots of elbow room

[kevdriver]

500 bills, christ Grain. 25$ for a ethernet card, modem should be free or else just a small charge on your phone/cable bill, router 50$. All filters for phones usually come with modem. I'm on Bell Sympatico Ultra High Speed 65$ a month/ approx. WoW do they ever soak you down in your neck of Canada.
