BSOD Help
My computer:
AMD Athlon XP 2200, 1.8ghz DFI AD73 Pro 512mgb Ram Soundblaster Live GeForce FX 5500 w/ 256mgb 30gb Maxtor HD 400w power supply CDRW DVDrom Running Windows XP Home I've been getting BSODs for a while now, at first it just referred to hardware. I just replaced the 300w pws with the 400w, replaced my heatsink with a better one (temp is now around 30c idle and 35c-45c running) and replaced my video card to the one above. I now get 2 different BSODs shown below. Can anyone please tell me what I should do? I have the latest drivers for everything. And when I installed the video card I got a pop-up that said the drivers did not have the Microsoft seal of something or other. BSOD 1: Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL STOP:0x000000D1 (0X8A5BCF78, 0X00000002, 0X00000000, 0XF8177CD8) NV4_mini.sys - Address F8177CD8 base at F811B000, datestamp4061D74B BSOD 2 Stop: 0X000000BE (0XF8481F10, 0X025BA121, 0XF897D5B0, 0X0000000B) FastFat.sys Address F8481F10 base at F847F000, Datestamp 3d6de58d What do these mean and what can I do about it? Thanx |

Download Memtest86+ and make a boot floppy. Boot to the disk and let if run for at least two full passes and see if your memory has a problem. Here's a link

I ran Memtest 86+ for a second time (only 2 passes this time) and it found no errors in RAM.
My thoughts are there's something wrong with the NV4_mini.sys file (I believe it is a driver for the Nvidia card) but I cant find a way to fix it. I tried old drivers and new and I still get the same BSOD. |

Do you have or can you borow another vid card? You'd have to uninstall the current drivers first. That would id or eliminate the vid card.

I had a gForce 4 Mx in it when the problems began. If I'm interpreting the BSOD correctly, it's the driver not the card. However it'll all have to wait, I'm leaving for two weeks. Thanks for your help.
