Stop: 0x0000008e

<div class="IPBDescription">BSOD!!!</div> Whenever I normally start my PC, it glitches. Goes to the BSOD, if disabled, restarts.

[code]STOP: 0x0000008E (some other hex codes like that)

sysdrv.sys - Address F7DA38B2
Base (hex code)
Datestamp (hex code)

Any help? My current work around is to go to some other mode where it goes to safe mode, but still installs the drivers (which is fine with me... ghetto more like).

    You need to reinstall windows sadly. That file probably can't be replaced right off the XP disc due to cabinet dependencies

    This happens on a regular basis - it's the same thing over and over again... Install Windows, works for a bit, glitches, rinse and repeat... Any way I can avoid this issue from happening again? It's getting annoying having to format on a monthly basis...

    Any recently installed/uninstalled programs, or hardware?

    Is this on a laptop, or a desktop?

    Have you tried System Restore to see if it caused by a change in Windows?

    *edit*

    Only other thing I can think of is faulty/incompatible hardware

    Before you reinstall

    try resetting your bios to "last known working configuration" or "factory defaults"

    or

    try using System Restore (might work)

    or

    I forget what it's called... but there is a program out there that lets you re-install PARTS of windows from the CD...

    if worst comes to worst, reinstall- XP lets you install without wiping the HD

    If I reinstall XP without wiping the HDD, my old user accounts will be undeletable... No BIOS changes at all, no new hardware additions. This happens on a regular basis as I said. As it happens, it only glitches sometimes, then more frequently, until it just doesn't friggin work!

    If theres no pattern it may be a PSU problem.

    Replaced the PSU as it happened before (350w -> 500w). No difference.

    Edit: Also replaced video card, no change either.

    Edit2:

    <u>System Specs</u>
    Pentium 4 2.6ghz 800FSB

    Yeah, that helped actually, that file I believe is a conflict related to Nvidias drivers, have you checked the device manager for conflicts?

    I doubt it's his equipment, more than likely it's windows. im having the same problem as well, and its on my POS computer. It's completely random, sometimes it will happen every time i restart, sometimes after an hour, sometimes it wont at all. I think it's got something to do with RAM though, as it happens more often when i do more 'intensive' things on the computer.

    AMD athlon 2000+
    nvidia mx4000
    768mb ram

    Uh, they're not undeletable, they're "owned" by another user account.

    You should read up on the basics of NTFS file permissions.

    You can use your admin account to take ownership of their directories. (right click->properties->security, if you don't see the security tab, tools->folder options->view->uncheck "use simple file sharing")

    XP Home doesn't have the Security tab, or a box to uncheck saying "use simple file sharing". He didn't say whether he has Home or Pro though.

    Assuming you use XP Pro that is <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    For Xp Home, then you'll need to boot into Safe Mode, in order to see the Security tab. You don't need to use the Administrator account, any non-Limited User account will do.

    Find your old user accounts, under C:\Documents and Settings, then right-click on your old account. Left click Properties.
    The click on the Security tab.
    Under Group or User names, click on "Add", then type "Everyone" under "Enter the object names to select", Click on Check Names, just to be sure, and it'll change to <u>Everyone</u>
    Then click on "Full Control", then apply, then OK.

    Reopen the file properties, then Security.

    This time, click on "Advanced", then on the "Owner" tab.
    Dismiss any dialog boxes that appear, and click on "Administrators (<computer-name-here>/Administrators)". Put a tick in the "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects". Then click Apply.

    Click OK on the security box when the permission replacement is done, then OK to every box that you've opened.

    After you've done all that...

    Open the file up, and behold your "OMG I just replaced Windows security settings" shock.

    If it happens on any other folder that you want to open, just follow the above steps, and redo the permissions.

    *edit*
    Kurt, this is hardly basics of NTFS file permissions.

    I used to get an error similar to this a long time ago. I had a 9800 Pro and norton antivirus would interfere with it's drivers and get it into and infinite loop and I'd get a BSOD.

    I just uninstalled norton for a little while, updated drivers then reinstalled norton and everything went ok.

    thats why they say disable any anti virus proctection when installing drivers. I would do a fresh format of the whole drive, install windows clean. then install your nvidia drivers first thing, then everything else. if you STILL have problems i would fault it to either a failing HDD or memory. and make sure your get yout drivers from www.nvidia.com and not use windows outofdateupdate

    i was having similar problems when i was making my computer. i would be doing something and pretty much every time i right clicked or did something even remotely intensive it would restart. turns out the corsair ram i bought wasnt compatible with my motherboard so i bought some kingston ram and now it runs fine.
