Re: STOP message during gameplay

oh.. is that so? i have an SiS 900-Based PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter (on-board) and a D-Link DFM-562IS HSFi PCI Modem. so, i should just disable the Ethernet adapter?

oh, and BTW.. here's the info seen on my BSOD...

================================================== =====
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent

If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer.
If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardare/softare is properly installed. If this is a new installation,
ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows update you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware/software.
Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing, restart your computer,
press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Re: STOP message during gameplay

guys, i disabled Video RAM caching through my BIOS... it has somehow lessened the frequency of crashes...

i have also disabled my ethernet adapter (IRQ 19) hoping that it will eliminate the crashes... unfortunately, it hasn't...

anybody still willing to help me? i will be very thankful. :)

Re: STOP message during gameplay

that STOP 0x000050 is that some drivers are causing the error, most likely video card drivers.
it also states that the RAM could be bad/corrupt.

Another thing to try is increasing the memory voltage to 2.7-2.8v.

Re: STOP message during gameplay

Hey guys, I just stumbled upon a site and it had a link to the Windows Memory Diagnostic program. so, i downloaded it and ran it. Lo and behold! It detected some memory errors! (Stride6)

So, I guess i just have to replace my 512MB PC3200 (400) memory module...

Re: STOP message during gameplay

Your BIOS is where you'll do that if the BIOS supports that function.
