I think I may have a driver issue, but I'm at a loss as how to fix it. My
system specs: Vista Home Basic 64-bit, 2 GB RAM, GeForce 8600 GT (driver: 162.22_forceware_winvista_64bit_english_whql), X-Fi XtremeGamer (driver: SBXF_PCDVT_LB_2_15_0002), Gigabyte 965G-DS3 motherboard. I've been getting BlueScreen crashes since I bought the machine. They seem much worse now, hours or minutes apart. The most common seems to be with a Stop 109 error code. I've also seen C1, A, 3B, 4E, 24, 1A, and probably some others I can't recall. I have all the latest drivers I can find and all the Windows Updates that seem applicable. I've completely uninstalled/re-installed sound and video drivers several times to no effect. I've removed my sound card from my machine, and switched back to on-board audio, but still got BlueScreens. I tried running the Driver Verifier but I don't think I quite understand what it supposed to do, and it didn't lead me to one particular driver as far as I could tell. I've run Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool several times. It did show errors, but not every time. It seemed if one of my video or sound cards were disabled (or removed from the machine maybe?) that I didn't get errors. I don't have any other memory I could use to test it, and I would rather not buy more if I can avoid it. My machine came with no drivers installed, but fully tested hardware. So it seems odd to me that the hardware would fail days after being tested successfully. Anyone help or suggestions on what I could try next would be greatly appreciated. Here is the latest BlueScreen error: Product Windows Problem Shut down unexpectedly Date 8/20/2007 5:39 AM Status Not Reported Problem signature Problem Event Name: BlueScreen OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.2 Locale ID: 1033 Files that help describe the problem (some files may no longer be available) Mini082007-05.dmp sysdata.xml Version.txt Extra information about the problem BCCode: 109 BCP1: A3A039D8951D1542 BCP2: B3B7465EE799C424 BCP3: FFFFF80001EFFD95 BCP4: 0000000000000001 OS Version: 6_0_6000 Service Pack: 0_0 Product: 768_1 |
