If you don't want to read this somewhat long post, here's a question you can
answer (but does not solve the answer which is in the rest of the post): Can
you provide me with a document or website or something that has a lookup
table, so I can reference the hexidecimal numbers in the STOP message on a
BSOD screen to an actual error message in english?
If you are willing to help me with my problem:
Yes, I'm reposting this message. I've isolated the problem, I think, but I
need verification (or other ideas).
I've been getting this BSOD message for months (granted, only about once a
month, but I'm getting it nonetheless):
*** STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x80515F86, 0xF9E84C0C, 0xF9E8490C)
No error message (like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL) accompanies the message.
Recommendation says to check hardware, hardware drivers, and software
drivers (like firewalls, etc.).
I had been getting this message whenever my computer goes into automatic
standby (after 15 minutes) when I overclocked my system from 2.4GHz to
2.95GHz. If I told it to go to standby (start->turn off->standby) it would
turn on fine, but automatic standby didn't work as well. I have now
de-overclocked the system (all settings back to normal) and I'm still
getting this problem. As I had overclocked it the second day I got my
motherboard, I don't know if overclocking caused the problem or if it had
existed prior to overclocking.
I believe I may have isolated the problem. I have been noticing lately that
after an automatic standby, sometimes my system will turn on but the monitor
will not turn on (the LED remains yellow, indicating no signal). I would
then have to restart my computer (reset button) to get it to work again.
Therefore, I believe that the video card or its driver may be causing the
problem. Do you agree?
I tried to enter the STOP message into the knowledge base
(support.microsoft.com) to see if they had my error message (or something
vaguely similar). While there are many STOP 0x0000007E messages, none of
them apply to me or apply enough to me for me to care. I checked any that
said STOP 0x0000007E and talked about standby, video cards, or computers
which stop responding. I did not check any which applied to a specific
computer (like ones that said "Dell XPS B533R Computer Stops Responding....)
or ones that didn't apply to Windows XP. Any other ideas on what to search?
I believe that there's a website that actually gives you like a lookup table
to find out what the error really meant, but I couldn't find it.
Finally, I went to Windows Update (windowsupdate.microsoft.com) to see if I
could pull up a new device driver. There was one, for my video card
(coincidence?). I installed it, but I'll have to wait until the next time my
computer goes into standby to find out if it worked. Does anyone know
actually what that video card driver fixed?
Thanks for any help. System specs follow:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-8SQ800
CPU: 2.4GHz Pentium 4 Northwood (533MHz FSB)
Memory: 1x256MB Corsair High-Performance DDR400*
Primary Master: Maxtor 80GB 7200RPM 8MB Cache ATA/133
Primary Slave: None
Secondary Master: Generic 56x Max CD-ROM
Secondary Slave: None
Floppy Drive: Generic 1.44MB 3.5" Floppy
LPT1: HP Deskjet 722C**
COM1: Palm Hotsync Cradle
COM2: None
AC'97: Speakers Not Attached
PS/2 Keyboard: HP Something-or-other
PS/2 Mouse: Microsoft Optical WheelMouse
AGP 8x Port: Empty?
PCI1: BFG Asylum 64MB DDR333 (NVidia GeForce4 MX440-SE)
PCI2: Creative SoundBlaster PCI512?
PCI3: Linksys Instant PCI Wireless Network Card (WMP11?)
PCI4: Empty
PCI5: Empty
Rear Panel USB1: Yamaha CRW3200UXZ (CD-RW 10x/24x/40x)
Rear Panel USB2: Logitech Wingman Extreme
Motherboard pin connectors allow for 2 more USB ports and 3 firewire ports,
but I do not have the sister cards connected to allow for them, nor do I
have any hardware which would require them.
* While Corsair RAM has been labled as commonly incompatible with
Gigabyte boards, I have had pretty good experiences with it (extremely few
lockups, no crashes other than this BSOD screen) and I have run MemTest86
(www.memtest86.com) several times, and that has indicated that the RAM is
perfectly functioning.
** While this piece of hardware is extremely old, I have made sure to use
both the 722C driver (which XP confuses with the 720C driver, and asks you
which one you would like to use), and I have made sure to use a signed
driver (XP certified).
? I plan to take advantage of this soon...
? Attached to the sound card is a set of Creative Inspire 4.1 speakers.
Not like this is important, just thought I'd say it.
