Hmm done a bit of research on this BSOD:
STOP: 0x000000FC - An attempt was made to execute non-executable memory
It seems this BSOD can be caused by numerous things.
- DEP
- Faulty Memory
- Corrupt Driver(s)
- Virus/Worm
- Application with wrong Security permission
- Corrupt Windows System files
Ok so lets try a few things.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1) DEP
1. Restart your computer.
2. Press the
F8 key. On a computer that is configured to start multiple operating systems, press F8 when the Startup menu appears.
3. Use the arrow keys to select a
Safe Mode option, and then press ENTER.
4. Click
Start, click
Run, type
cmd, and then click
OK.
5. At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:
bootcfg /raw “/noexecute=alwaysoff /fastdetect” /id 1
*Note - To turn DEP back on
bootcfg /raw “/noexecute=alwayson /fastdetect” /id 1
If you have multiple start entries or start options, you may have to manually modify the Boot.ini file for your computer. To disable DEP by modifying the Boot.ini file, change the /noexecute policy level to alwaysoff.
6. Restart your computer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Memory
Download Memtest 86 from my Sig, make sure you get the CD version so you can create a Boot Disk and run it out of windows.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Re-Install all drivers
- Motherboard (IDE, SATA, On-board Audio, USB, LAN)
- Graphics Card
- Sound Card
- And any other PCI card drivers
---------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Scan with your AV software
If you dont have any go to
Avast
---------------------------------------------------------------------
5) You can try and change the Security settings for the game.
1) Click
Start, click
Control Panel, Double click
Folder Options, then click the Tab
View and uncheck the box
Simple File Sharing (Recommended).
This will allow you to access advanced security settings in the properties of the folder.
2) Locate the games main folder eg.
C:/Program Files/ EA games/Crysis
3) Right click on the Games folder and select
Properties, click the tab
Security, then select the
User profile and check the box
Full Control.
4) Press
OKand start the game like normal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Corrupt Windows System Files
1) Put in the XP CD and restart your System
2) When prompted to
Boot from CD/DVD press any key and let Windows boot from the CD.
3) Once the Setup is complete it will give you 3 options.
- Install XP
- Repair XP
- Exit
Choose Repair. Once selected it may take some time to load.
4) Once on the Command Line Interface or DOS it will ask if you like to use a non-standard keyboard, just ignore until the count down is finished.
Then it will ask you to select the OS it has found. Type
1 and press
Enter
5) You maybe prompted to enter a
password for the
Administrator account (What you use in safemode) most the time you have not set a password up so you leave it blank and hit
Enter. If you have added a password enter it and then press
Enter.
6) After all that the CMD should say
C:/Windows
Simply type
chkdsk /p and hit
Enter
This will run a scan check on the system files and repair if necessary.
7) After it has finished the scan, type
Exit and it will exit the repair tool and will reboot.
