Blue Screen [moved from hardware]

[Tempestshade]

Ok, i was just playing WoW, and i got two blue screen errors back to back.

The first one was

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Stop: 0x000000D1 (0xB9F40000, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xB9ECE1FA)

and then i got another one without a message just the stop error.

STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC000001D, 0xBA2B4854, 0x80556150, 0x00000000)

I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this?

[Tempestshade]

I got another one without a message it was just

0x0000007F(I just got the first part. The stop error.)

[dai]

there is usually more to the bsod message in fine print bottom left
most common occurance it points to corrupt video drivers
nv4-dll or ati-dll

[Tempestshade]

Hrm....... i usually write down anything important. For the first error message, i also copied down

Cmuda.sys
Address B9F40000 Base at B9E17000 Datestamp 44892a1b


Cmuda is a soundcard file.... so im guessing the errors i have been getting have something to do with my soundcard.

[dai]

Cmuda.sys - C-Media Audio WDM Driver
turn off the auto reboot so the computer freezes on the bsod

[Tempestshade]

One question before i do that, what will that do? Will it fix my problem? Or has it fixed others problems in the past?

Ohhhhh, ya i already have it so my computer freezes on te BSOD.

[Tempestshade]

(Sorry for double post)
But ive tried looking for driver updates for my soundcard, but i can't find the correct download.

[dai]

use the original off the m/board cd

[Tempestshade]

but i was having problems with the version off the cd too, thats why i updated 2-3 months ago. And they completely stopped until now i guess.

also check your m/board makers download section for an update

[Tempestshade]

Yea, ive updated my m/bored before. Like a month ago.

But when i try to install the update it gets stuck on "Waiting for audio driver to be ready..........................."(More dots then that)

[dai]

see if you can install from safe mode

[Tempestshade]

Uhm... not to sound.... extremely stupid. But how do i get into safe mode? Ive never had the need to go into it.

Another question, what version does this update, update my version to?

My version for C-Media AC97 Audio Device is
5.12.1.51

[dai]

tap f8 as the computer is booting and choose safemode from the options screen

[speedster123]

Follow Dai's instructions on updating your driver.
then
Check your device manager for any yellow alerts:
Control panel>system>hardware>device manager..then click "view"..then click "show hidden devices"

Post your complete specs, including your power supply [take the side off for the info], how many cooling fans are installed.
On the software side - list your antivirus/malware/adaware/firewall programs, and then when you last cleaned out your case.

[Tempestshade]

Pentium 4(Presscot) 2.8Ghz
MSI 865PE Neo2-S (MS-6728) (5 PCI, 1 AGP, 4 DDR DIMM, Audio)
1Gig ddr RAM(2x256, 1x512)
EVGA Geforce 7800GS
Enermax 460W Power Supply

Thats my specs.

I only use Nortan, and for malware/spyware/stuff i use Xoftspy, Spyware Blaster and Ad-aware SE Personal.

Another error message
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
0x00000050
and it said the file involved was kmixer.sys

[dai]

so you have no
h/d
floppy
cd/dvd
pci cards
soundcard
fans
if you add to what you posted
1 h/d
1dvdrw
floppy
s/card
1 pci card
2 80mm fans
and video is agp
your psu would be struggling to run the system

[Tempestshade]

Ok.... i have 4... not sure how big the fans are, i have 1 cd-r drives one dvd drive, a floppy, a 100g harddrive, and no pci cards.

Uhm....... ive never had problems before, just when i play WoW. I can play oblivion and Fear easily with no blue screens(much more demanding than WoW).

[dai]

do you have sp2 installed

[Tempestshade]

Yes i do have Sp2 installed.
