this happens often when waking up from sleep mode, or screen saver, and during racing games, grid and dirt to be specific.
this is the event viewer report:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x1000008e (0xc0000005, 0xbf038ecc, 0x8b0d9c34, 0x00000000).
i have hp elitebook 6930p, 2g ram, ati 3450 hd graphic card operating on xp sp2
my laptop is brand new and i've sent to hp support and they claim the hardware is healthy.
can anyone help with this, i installed the latest drivers but nothing improved.
That looks like a memory allocation error. Could be that your games are using a bit of memory that has been allocated to another program, or there are conflicting drivers.
What hardware/software did you install immediately prior to getting this problem?
Did you make sure the previous drivers you had were removed prior to installing them? you can do this with CCCleaner, then install the latest drivers from the ati website. unless you need the hp drivers cos your systems got a different configuration.
then run chkdsk (http://www.updatexp.com/windows-xp-chkdsk.html) and see if the problem sorts itself out
Install the latest ATI drivers from AMD sites,also as matt said,do a clean install,download DRIVER SWEEPER,then
1_Go to control panel and uninstall the driver from there
2_Reboot and go to safemode and open driver sweeper and click on clean(this removes some files which werent deleted)
3_Boot normally and Install the new driver
i removed the old one with driver cleaner pro from the safe mode, the game doesn't cause the BSOD anymore, but after a few minutes it is minimized because of an error message caused by a process related to the card reader, after terminating the process, and playing the game for another while, it causes an error (grid.exe) refusing to start unless the laptop restarted.
