Hello fellow members of Geekstogo.com I was just wondering if anyone could help me with my current situation. I have checked other forums and sites to find if anyone has the same error line as me, but so far.. no one does. If someone could help me out, even if I have to replace a part, I'd just like to know which one so I can get this aggrivation over and done with.

The error code is as follows: Error code 1000008e, parameter1 e0000001, parameter2 b8340925, parameter3 b81c786c, parameter4 00000000.

There is also a DCOM error I am not sure of: The server {4EB61BAC-A3B6-4760-9581-655041EF4D69} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

Thank you for your time and hopefully you know a solution to my problem as it would be greatly appreciated and take a load off of my mind.

The system is a custom built desktop, that currently has an ASUS P5K-VM Motherboard inside it.

The total memory installed is 2 GB of Ram, and the hard drive has a total 765 GB; 71.3 GB Used.

So far I have downloaded and updated the Motherboard and Video Card drivers to remedy the problem.

While the Moderator is offline I will assist.
Do not worry about this rshaffer61 and myself often work together.

In respect of the Who Crashed report it is unlikely that you will find an update for the driver Version 280.26 as that I think is the latest driver, released only in early August. this year.

However Who Crashed analysis does not of course have that information and is only reporting the driver they consider to be causing the problem

Are the graphics integrated on the motherboard or a separate card.
If separate what is the make and full model of the graphics card please.
Simply because it is identified as a Nvidia chip does not mean that is where we need to look.

[Linken]

The graphic card is a Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS, it is a seperate chip from the motherboard.

Edited by Linken, 03 October 2011 - 03:18 PM.

[Macboatmaster]

That driver 280.26 was indeed released in August this year.
So you cannot have had it installed before then.

The problem may have a number of causes.
1. The download and install, although it seemed flawless may not have been.
Some Firewalls and Anti-virus, in fact cause download and installation errors.
2. The correct procedure for installation was not followed.
3. There is another program or utility on the computer that is causing the error

The automatic accpetance of the driver update is NOT a good idea.
Would you please this see document from Nvidia
Page 40 onwards for installation instructions
http://uk.download.n...lease-Notes.pdf
You will note the caution regarding Nvidia NTune.
Please proceed from there to the actual download and installation instructions.

Here I have provided the link for you to download that driver again.
http://www.nvidia.co...uk&type=GeForce
ON THAT site ONLY disable your anti-virus.

So basically you are going to uninstall the driver using Control panel Add/Remove programs.
FIRSTLY having downloaded the driver from the Nvidia site.
Then you are going tio follow the installation instructions.
Again disabling your anti-virus.
It is important that you DO NOT uninstall that driver from Device Manager.
That does not remove all aspects of the driver.

DO NOT FORGET to renable your protection.

I am signing off now.
If the reinstallation of that driver does not solve your problem then try the procedure below please.

There have been quite a number of reports regarding that driver causing BSOD on older Graphics cards.
It is without doubt, going to transpire that it is not the driver from Nvidia but another issue.
Indeed in some cases it has proved that an update to Adobe Flash has solved the problem.

Until more definite information becomes available, I recommend that you repeat the procedure I have outlined and download and install this driver
http://www.nvidia.co...uk&type=GeForce

It is most likely the one you had already.

The uninstallation procedure is NOW even more important as you are downgrading from the 280.26

It is most unlikely that you will need the new driver, it has mainly been issued to solve a few problems with certain games.
If you did not experience any such problems before I think I can assure you that you will NOT need that update.
Just of course be aware if you have any such updating software on your computer that you do not accept the update if it is offered.

Please post the result in due course.

You joined GeesktoGo on the 3 October, you posted asking for advice
You received advice and have NOT responded.
Please do NOT join Geeks, post asking advice and then not bother to respond.

Hello sorry guys for the long wait for my response, I just ended up building a new computer. The graphic card and motherboard were getting quite old so I made a new one, in the process of making my new computer I had forgot that I even posted a question on this website. Sorry so much guys, it won't happen again. Thank you for the advice, I did try it, but the graphics card update that you guys gave me made me reformat my whole entire computer, it essentially shut down my graphics card. I probably just screwed up on installing it again, none of it is your fault was just a minor technical error on my part. Thank you for all your advice though, it did help.

[rshaffer61]

Thank you for giving us the final update and congrats on the new system.
