stop🙁0x000000d1 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0xeb41fee3)

then it said it did a memory dump

can any of you decrypt what the hell that is supposed to mean?

thanx for any help you can give me.

did it give you any type of driver or device identifier or just the memory location...

It just gave me the memory location... something along the line of... Irq not equal to or less than.

normally that particular error msg... I believe it's "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" will be followed by the name of the device driver that caused the crash dump. It's not immediately below that string of text... I think it's halfway down the blue screen and it's easy to miss, especially if you have it set to reboot after BSOD. There's a KB article on it on MS's support site. Could have been a complete fluke, for all we know... does it do it regularly or is that the first time it's happened? Did you change anything prior to it happening? (new soundcard/video card/mobo drivers?)Here's the link to the KB article in question. Basically it's just windows blowing up when a driver tries to touch an area of memory that it's not allowed to touch.

thanx for your help, no, there never was a device listing... however... i noticed, having the case apart and eventually watching it... that there was a resistor that started to glow after a few minutes of being on. As soon as that happened, the whole system started going hay wire... so i have since bought a new motherboard and harddrive so that i could raid the system... mmmm
but thanks again.

eek thats no good 😛

 

[cryogenic]

glowing = hot... hot = bad. 😛 I'd say a new mobo wasn't a bad idea in that case. Out of curiosity, what did you end up buying?
