Kernel errors

[Guest]

I have XP Pro SP2. My computer gets stoip errors (blue screen) that say
kernel_stack_inpage_error. This happens ramdomly. When Windows restarts, it
sends an error report. the response from microsoft says "Windows was
temporarily unable to read your hard drive". I ran the diagnostic program
from my hard drive manufacturer, and everything checked out okay. I also
replaced the hard drive cable. My computer is home-built, so manufacturer
support is not an option for me. Any ideas?

Check that the proper type of RAM has been installed, in
the proper configuration and slotted properly, and that
the RAM is functioning properly.

0x00000077: KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR

Take a look through the above link. Download and run at least two of these
memory diagnostic programs from a bootable floppy or CD. Let them run for
some time, like 24 hrs, not just a single pass. There should be no errors.

Event viewer should contain details of your recent stop errors.

The Ram have different manufacturers (Supertalent and Kingston). Both are
DDR400 PC3200 512MB. Would that cause errors?

For starters, RAM from different manufacturers. What is the
recommendation from the manufacturer of the motherboard for
the type of RAM (and sometimes the specific make of RAM) that
should be installed, and how they should be installed, e.g.,
in pairs, in same-colored slots, etc., and the SPD values of
the RAM modules? One issue of mixing the manufacturers of RAM
is difference in SPD values.

I ran windows memory diagnostics for about 8 hrs. and had no errors. I also
ran memtest86 for about 5 hours. There were no errors, but when I stopped the
program so I could load Windows, my computer restarted itself (before my
desktop even came up!) due to what Microsoft calls a device driver error.
There are no problems in device manager. i never knew a home-built computer
could be so problematic!

I have a SCSI based SATA hard disk. I replaced the cable to see if that was
the problem, I guess not. I get hard drive errors too.

Sorry to hear that. It was just one step in troubleshooting this. Look at
it this way, you have eliminated one possible source of the problem so it
narrows. If there are multiple memory sticks have you tried booting with
just one memory stick?

My motherboard is a Foxconn 760GXK8MB-ERS. It is compatible with 266/333/400
MHz single-channel DDR DRAM. My Kingston RAM is on the compatibility list,
the Super Talent is not. It doesn't say that you must install both DIMM's at
the same time. All you need is one. I only have 2 slots for RAM. I don't know
what an SPD value is and the book that came with my motherboard doesn't
mention it. I built this computer in a program at my high school last year,
the Super Talent RAM was part of the package, we all had to make sure the
computer worked before we could take it home. The first thing mine did (after
installing XP) was give me a stop error (blue screen). A kid looked at the
screen and yelled, "it's your RAM, I'm not touching that thing!" To remedy
the problem I reinstalled XP. The problem remains.

Also have you updated the bios as that can cause conflicts with memory and
other devices you should be able to find it on the foxconn website
http://www.foxconnchannel.com and you should also get the dos based utility
to be able to do the update outside of windows (plus there is a document
there that will assist you in going through the process of updating the bios)

Why are you replying to me? I don't have the problem.

 

[Guest]

I have not upgraded the BIOS for fear of rendering my computer useless if I
make a mistake. I don't know if that would fix my problem anyway.

 

[Guest]

I updated the BIOS and that seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks for your
help!

I thought I had it fixed. I got a Kernel_data_inpage_error yesterday
mentioning scsiport.sys and the code 0x0000007A. The error stayed on the
screen until I pressed enter. When the system restarted, I got another error
with code 0x0000007E. One of these error messages told me to update my BIOS,
which I have already done. When I turned on my computer today, the screen
said something about not being able to read from the bootable drive. My SATA
hard drive has this desrciption in XP: WDC WD80 0JD -55JRC0 SCSI Disk Device.
I even have a SCSI properties tab. There are no SCSI symbols or connectors on
the drive itself. It is using a driver provided by Microsoft, as the drive
came with no drivers of its own. In the system log of event viewer, I have
several warnings in a row called disk, the description says: An error was
detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during a paging operation. Event ID
51. I also have sporadic errors about SiSRaid, the description reads: The
description for Event ID ( 9 ) in Source ( SiSRaid ) cannot be found. The
local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL
files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the
/AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for
details. The following information is part of the event:
\Device\Scsi\SiSRaid1.
