recurring "serious error" !!

what category would the 7800 gt fall under, the geforce GO 7 series or geforce and tnt2 series?

ta

 

GeForce and TNT2. GO parts are mobile chips for laptops.

 

cheers guys, the pc appears to be fine now that gpu drivers have been updated. touch wood.

 

argh it has returned!

the file seems to keep coming up ev4ery day as there is a date in it. atm one of the error files is:

C:\DOCUME~1\Abu\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER168b.dir00\Mini092706-01.dmp
also
C:\DOCUME~1\Abu\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER168b.dir00\sysdata.xml

 

bump?

the file keeps re-appearing, but with an updated date, and there is always a sysdata file as well. even if i delete them they appear later on. it is happening more and more frequently?

 

Can you give your system specs please? And have you looked through the Sticky yet?

 

i looked through the sticky, and i turned off automatic restart.

when the error next happened it came up with a blue screen. it said the problem was, or included etc:

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

and

Beginning dump of physical memory.
Physical memory dump complete.

i have no idea what any of that means. my system specs, off the top of my head:

asus a8n sli deluxe motherboard
amd 64 4000+
2x geforce nvidia 7800 gt
1gb corsair ddr4400
200gb maxtor diamondmax hdd
creative soundcard

 

Uninstall the NVidia IDE drivers and firewall.

 

i cleared the CMOS earlier, and so far it seems to be working.

if it occurs again i will do as you said.

thanks doug

 

hi, its still occurring.

how do i find the NVidia IDE drivers and/or firewall?

i dont seem to have the firewall on my computer, and when looking at Nvidia display drivers i could not find any called IDE drivers?

thanks

 

Run the nVidia nforce driver install, and uninstall the IDE drivers and firewall (or remove everything and reinstall everything else)

 

hello,

just to make sure, which on here is it?

http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

 

Platform/nForce -> nforce 4 series AMD -> your OS

 

hmmm. i tihnk that it worked after i had installed, as the computer stayed on for ages wihtout restarting. but next time i turned the pc on it occurred again.

argghghh i am ripping my hair out

 

bump

 

by installing the nforce drivers i have been able to keep it from restarting too much but it still occurs? is there anything drastic i can do in order to get rid of this, as it is starting to become far too annoying. i can put all my stuff on an external hd.

cheers

 

There could be firmware update for your hard drives regarding uncompatibilities with nforce4 motherboards.

 

ah, could you explain how i could go about obtaining this firmware?

chers panze

 

Well, you could try searching if one is available trough maxtor's product support pages. If not then you'll need to contact their technical support by email and ask if there is a firmware support to your hard drives.
