I've built a new system and have spent the last week trying to get it to run with my new eVGA 8800GTS G92 512 graphics card.
Here's what I have:
- Q6600 Quad CPU
- MSI P6N Diamond Mobo
- Noctura P12U CPU cooler
- 2 Gig OCZ memory
- 1 Evga 8800GTS G92 512mb graphics card
- Windows XP home
- Raidmax Volcano 630W PSU, 2 -12v rails with 18A and 17A ratings
- 3 - 320mb SATA Maxtor hard drives
- 2 - Samsung SATA DVD DL optical drives
- No modem or sound card
Here's my problem :
All worked fine on the system build and windows XP load until I went and loaded my 8800GTS graphics drivers. After they loaded the system reboots and windows starts up and then crashes with a BSOD with the standard message .. A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer... blah blah
STOP code 0x0000008E (0xc0000005, 0x48303354,0xb967E3Ec, 0x00000000) and then it start to do an physical memory dump to disk.
I then have to stop the memory dump and reboot and hit F8 key and force it to go back to the last known good boot for it to come up again. When it boots up again its the boot round without the 8800GTS drivers installed.
I've searched this and other boards on this BSOD stop error and have tried everything that has been suggested with no success.
Here's what I've done:
1) I made sure my MSI mobo BIOS and drivers were all the latest versions
2) Some say this is an memory problem. I used memtest86 , MSFT memory test pgm and Symantec PC checkup pgm and ran memory tests on all three pgms and they all came back with no errors. I pulled out 1 memory Dimm and booted with one Dimm - same problem. I switched memory Dimm's - same problem. I'm pretty sure it's not a memory problem.
3) I download the latest graphic card drivers from both my card vendor and from Nvidia and tried both - same problem.
4) I talked to my graphics card tech support and they said my 500W power supply was probably causing the problem. I went out and bought the 630W RaidMAx which folks say they have 2 8800 GTS running SLI mode. Ratings should clearly support this system. They do --- New PSU - same problem
5) I RMA'ed my first 8800GTS. 2nd Graphics card came in - Same problem with 2nd graphics card.
6) Some say it's a virus. I read about the backdoor Robfo A/B virus. I did the recommended checks to the registry entries - no virus found. I loaded Symantec Anti-virus pgm updated to the lastest version and ran a full system virus check - no problems found.
7) Some say it's a hard drive problem. My 3 SATA hard drives are new. Windows and the computer found and recognized them all fine and I've not had any problems with them but to eliminate some of the potentail I'm only using 1 drive (c drive) for now until I solve this.
8) Some say it's a heat problem. My CPU and system temps have never gone above 30C during all my testing (of course with no loads put on them)
9) The graphics card is running. The fan is spinning and I do get VGA display in only two low end resolutions when I boot without the graphic drivers loaded.
10) I have checked and am using all proper power connections (24 pin mobo, 8 pin CPU and 6 pin graphics card)
11) I've reloaded Windows XP. Not a complete reformat and full reinstall but reloaded it on top of the first install. I went thru the full 39 min install process with no problems. it reloaded the graphic card drivers - when it finished - same problem.
Sooo....... have I missed anything? I don't know what else to try. I am so frustrated because this is the first time that I've had any problems in building a system.
If anyone has experienced this stop code or has any other ideas or suggestions please let me know.
Thanks
