Hello,
I am new to the forum, and want to say I appreciate it. I have a problem(s) with my rig, and was hoping to get some answers...
Ok.. I am runnind the XP 2000+, 1024 megs DDR 2100 Kingston,
ATI Radeon 8500le, Thermaltake 7+, Asus A7V266-E Mobo, Audigy
Platnium Gamer sound, new Truepower 420 watt power supply,
NIC, 2.0 usb card, creative DVD, 32X, 12X, 40 Lite-on CDRW, running XP Pro....
Here's the problem.... I had been running the aove on a 300 watt power supply, and a smaller cpu fan. I had been having random problems, such as games crashing back to desktop, sudden reboots, and a couple blue screens of death..... Havingmonitored the forum here for a couple weeks, I decided I was probably running too hot and didn't have enough power. I also decided I was going to format and reinstall XP Pro at the same time I upgradaed the PSU and CPU fan. I did this, and everything installed wihout a hitch, got a good post, but following the initial file transfer run during XP install, I got blue screen of death error... STOP; 0X0000008E, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.....
I took the suggestion to disable cache in BIOS...did so, and got the setup going at a smails pace. I did this three times and setup almost concluded once but froze just following device install prior to conclusion.
Sorr for the length of this post, but here's what else I have tried.... different video card, ram trouble shooting has resulted in three different blue screens, one IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, and two different versions of the 0X0000008E above.....
Any help will be most appreciated.......
Thanks much
