Blue Screen of Death

[Stevan]

If anyone could help me out. I would appreciate it!

(Original post)
Every 30 minutes or so. I get the Blue Screen of Death.
What codes it gives me are,

Stop: 0x0000008E (0xc0000005, 0x80608BDE, 0XF231DBE8,
0X00000000). I also get

Stop: 0x0000004E (0x00000099, 0x00000000, 0x00000000,
0x00000000) and

STOP: 0x0000007F (0x00000008, 0x80042000, 0x00000000,
0x00000000). Anyone have any Ideas?

I'm running a home built computer,
AMD 2200+
Asrock K7S8X
1 GB DDR Memory (2x512MB)
Windows XP Pro.
ATI Radeon 7500
Samsung Sv4084H 40 GB HD
Samsung CDRW 48-24-48
Hitatchi DVDROM 8x
Thermaltake Volcano 7

Thanks in anvance!

Probably related to your memory. Two pieces of 512
require more relaxed memory timings than one single
piece. Make sure you do not have "Turbo" settings applied
in BIOS, and loosen the RAM timings until you stop getting
errors.

Thanks, Mark

There isn't a Turbo option in the BIOS, and it doesn't
give me the option of changing the RAM timing. It gives
me the option on CLAS of, Auto, 2, or 2.5.
Thanks again!

here's the 'error msg help site' - you can pursue for
your own verifications/pursuit of source causes - ie

http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm

you will see that all 3 - 'stop error codes' - point
to the same thing - 'hardware/specifically ram' - as
has been mentioned - now - an approach could be - ie
1/
contact the folks where you purchased the 'ram'
and explain asking for help - esp
a/
direct exchange
b/
their testing of it - 'outside your box'
note
may point to - 'other incompatible hw'
c/
their help suggestions
2/
seek out a local 'computer tech shop' to do some
'testing for you'
and
take it fr there
