Anybody make any sense of this error code??

BCCode : 1000008e BCP1 : C0000005 BCP2 : BF837815 BCP3 : EBE5EA68
BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 2_0 Product : 256_1

Anyone experienced it? Early googling is pointing towards faulty ram, any ieas?

hey,

i personally have never seen that error before - someone else might have.

what were you doing to get that error - a bit more info on the background may help us identify whats going on.

cheers,

sam

If you suspect that its faulty ram then try this which may confirm it :

Hi

I had just transfered some video form my camcorder to pc and it was then going through the video conversion/rendering when it crashed to the BSOD!. Giving the message windows has recovered from a serious error etc couldnt read it all as it was not on screen long!

I also get the software crashing regularly at the same point (Ulead Video Studio 8)

Also happens when i try and create a video cd (via nero)

My machine specs are:

1 gig ram
2 x 200gb SATA HD
AMD XP 3000+ cpu
128 mb Nvidia graphics card
Asus A&n8xe deluxe motherboard
Win XP pro

Thanks for the memtest link Sandra will try that but am also thinking that it could possibly be a problem with the graphics card maybe any ideas on how to test this out?

Thanks

The easiest way to check the GFX is by substitution or if your mobo has onboard GFX then switch to that to see if it cures it.

If you havent got another card or onboard GFX try dropping the Hardware Acceleration and see if that helps but it could be memory related anyway so run the memtest first.

There are programs such as PC Checkthat will test all your components and I thing Si Soft Sandra may also find it by runningthe "Burn in test" module but I havent tried it for that purpose.

Hopefuly it will just be a single stick of ram thats faulty so you could try running on just one, I assume that you have 2 x 512mb from your PC specs, then the other and see if either runs without problems

Yes 2 x 512 mb RAM forgot to say that its dual channel as well if that makes a difference

I am running memtest at the moment I had it here all the time and forgot about it! Thanks for the reminder though Sandra. Its been running since around mid day and is currently showing no errors 4940 cycles and 6488% coverage.

Any idea how long it takes to complete and how will i know when its finished?
Its running the cpu at 100% is it ok to run it at 100% for soo long? The temp is 50 degrees C and i have the fan on max!

I think it would worry me to have the CPU maxed out for so long. :ooo: I've never used the Mem Test utility, but surely it would have finished when it got to 100%? If it's still going at 6488%, I would probably assume it's finished, or got stuck!

Sandra · « **Reply #7 on:** June 07, 2005, 23:02 »

It runs until you tell it to stop.

Just press ESC I think to stop it, once its gone past at least 100%, some people like to run it a couple of times in case it shows up a fault under continuous use but I think it should be ok now

Well according to memtest there are no faults withthe ram.

How do i turn down the accelaration on the graphics card?

Sandra · « **Reply #9 on:** June 08, 2005, 00:19 »

Right click the desktop, and then select Properties then Settings and then Advanced then Troubleshoot

kevinho · « **Reply #10 on:** June 08, 2005, 00:25 »

How much do you think i should decelerate by? and what effects will this de-celartion have on my system?

Sandra · « **Reply #11 on:** June 08, 2005, 00:29 »

The usual thing is to drop it to about half or less and see if it improves anything.
If nothing chnages in regards to stability then restore it to max again.
If it stops the problems that you are experiencing then it would suggest that the GFX is either faulty or has the incorrect or outdated drivers.

Thanks again Sandra. I will try that tomorrow.

Thanks very much for your help again.

I think that i have finally found the problem.
The processor is over heating. I have taken the side panel off and put an electric fan to blow inside the case and all is working well and the cpu temp is reduced. I would guess that i was having problems when the cpu temp reached about 60 degrees C. Which i didnt think was too high!
With the "extra" cooling the temp reaches around 57 and all seems fine. Any ideas on how to improove the cooling without the need to pull the panel off? I have a fan on the cpu, a fan on the side panel blowing out also a fan at the back of the case blowing out and also a fan on the PSU, again i thought that this should be sufficient.

Simon · « **Reply #14 on:** June 30, 2005, 09:46 »

Maybe if you had one fan blowing in, and the other blowing out, the air flow would be more efficient at cooling? If you have both fans blowing out, they are not bringing any cooler air in, if my limited understanding of thermals is anything to go on.
