[gerryf]

on about?

set them to automatic....double click, start up type to automatic


don't really think that is the issue, though...just the reason for the errors

[nutty_lee]

ok i have set those three to automatic as instructed whats next please
thanks lee

[gerryf]

well, you can reboot and see if the event errors continue, but we are getting off track

You need to get your hands on another power supply. Surely you can find someone with a PC you can borrow one from....

[nutty_lee]

i am still getting the same error message in event viewer after a system crash .

i really dont have access to another power supply i shall just have to buy one and hope that is the problem but i am still unsure what PSU to go for would i be ok with a 300w ,350w or 400w or even bigger ???

[nutty_lee]

ok i have a new error message in the event viewer from a crash when i was using MSN messenger



error code 1000088e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 8054ae34, parameter3 eb99f254, parameter4 00000000.


this error made the machine reboot its self

im really stuck now
helphelp

[gerryf]

Congrats, I thought I'd seen every error message. That one is new. And, I cannot find any reference to it anywhere

Are you sure that is typed correctly?

Double click the error, hit the COPY button (looks like two pieces of paper) and then paste it (ctrl V) into your next post

[gerryf]

you added an 8

This is KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED error and is usually the result of a bad driver


Just because you have the most recent drivers does not mean that a driver error was not added.

Did you get a CD with drivers when you bought the PC? Consider using the older drivers.

You said earlier that you used the most recent nvidia and chipset drivers,,,,where did you get them?

[nutty_lee]

i8 dont have a cd for the machine with drivers etc .

and the drivers im using are the from the nvidia website both display (graphics card) and chipset nforce1/2
driver.
i have also tried using the drivers cd that came with the graphics card which did not make a difference.

are there anymore tests i can perform to rule anything further out? before i shell out on a new PSU of wattage still unsure which to go for ??

[gerryf]

Well, I would get nothing less than a 350watt power supply, and 400 if you can. Stay away from the cheap ones (I'd still prefer you test with ANY one though)

You could also try connecting the PC to a completely different circuit, just as a test

One other thing--did you remove the previous drivers before installing the newest?

Download driver cleaner pro from here:

http://www.driverhea...ead.php?t=76416

Install it.

Start > Control Panel, choose add/remove applet

Remove any drivers or utlities for your card.

Reboot into safe mode, by tapping f8 key at startup, about once a second...you will be given a text mode menu....choose safe mode

Run driver cleaner pro and select the video driver you had from the drop down menu and let driver cleaner wipe out all the remaining files from the uninstall.

reboot into normal mode...cancel the hardware installation wizard.

Use the driver setup routine you downloaded above to reinstall the driver.

[nutty_lee]

i have already tried that and it didnt work

[nutty_lee]

looks im stuck until i can try a new PSU then ???

[gerryf]

I cannot think of anything else, but perhaps others can.
