Hi!

In last 2 days my computer crashed several times then BSOD appeared with some stop message 0x8E. This usually happens when I turn it on, after restart it works fine.

Here is WhoCrashed report...

Read the topic general suggestions for troubleshooting system crashes for more information.

Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is actually responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

OK it looks to be a driver issue more then anything according to the description below.

0x0000008E: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

A kernel mode program generated an exception which the error handler didn’t catch. These are nearly always hardware compatibility issues (which sometimes means a driver issue or a need for a BIOS upgrade).

So lets take a look at your drivers and see where the problem is.



Please Run the PCPitstop.com OverDrive Full Tests

Here's how:

You must use your Internet Explorer for this procedure. (doesn't work so well in Firefox or others). If your machine is running Vista or Windows 7, you must Select IE to “Run as Administrator”. After completing PCPitstop OverDrive you can close your IE browser and re-open it Normally so that you are no longer running as administrator.

Audio driver is out of date.
Lets take care of that first and then there are some other issues I noticed we can work on after that.

Download DriverMax and have it scan your system. It will open their website with all the out of date drivers you can update. With the free version you can update only 2 drivers per day so if you have a lot of them it will take a few days to get everything updated. I have been using it for about 4 months now and like it better then any other utility out there for keeping my drivers up to date.
The driver you want is the Realtek HD audio driver first.
If you will get me screenshots of all the drivers that Drivermax says need to be updated I will instruct you from there.

[Andro]

I downoladed and installed DriverMax...below are screenshots of all drivers

The first one is the Realtek High Definition Audio driver.
The second is the Microsoft UAA High Definition Driver.

[Andro]

I installed those two drivers but the sound doesn't work now...

[rshaffer61]

Did you reboot after the installations were completed?
Please do the following and let me see what is showing in your Device Manager now.
Please Go to

1: START and the click on RUN
2: Type in devmgmt.msc
3: Click Enter

To do a screenshot please have click on your Print Screen on your keyboard. It is normally the key above your number pad between the F12 key and the Scroll Lock key
Now go to Start and then to All Programs
Scroll to Accessories and then click on Paint
In the Empty White Area click and hold the CTRL key and then click the V
Go to the File option at the top and click on Save as
Save as file type JPEG and save it to your Desktop


Attach it to your next reply

[Andro]

Here you go...

Is this a name brand system or a custom build?
If name brand what brand, make and model?
If custom built what is the brand, make and model of the motherboard.

[Andro]

It's name brand...HP Compaq dx2300 Microtower

[rshaffer61]

Go HERE and in the Audio area you probably need the update driver for the audio.

[Andro]

...and sound is back:)
