Still, the little problem of the BSOD...?

Blue Screens love memory addresses where Windows itself has reserved those for system processes and not drivers for softwares/hardwares. Welcome to the "Vista club" where you are now entering the ....

zone!

The automatic updating seen when setting up XP as well as Vista on the new build was even more fun! First ATI made a royal goober with their Catalyst 7.9 and patch to follow. Later with XP the Start taskbar would still see sections simply get washed out. But that was the less annoyance there.

Creative's support site and even the MS update site plus the sound card's own software installer would all download Vista drivers onto XP?!

GGrrr...! Some very pronounced BSODs were seen however mainly due to the 7.9 version of the ATI catalyst intended for the new line of HD 2xxx series DX10 compatible cards. 3rd party drivers for both versions proved to be the reason for seeing the Blue Screen specials however.

Man that sucks! And it happened to me too! You can ask ThatGut16 lol. Appearently my comp was missing the Microsoft Sound Bus Driver so I couldn't install the sound driver. I had to buy a dedicated sound card. Everything's fixed though.

NOTE: Kornowski, this happened on WinXP but your problem seemed very close to the same as what happened to me so just trying to help

Can you copy paste your dump file log here?

Sometimes if you see the report error to MS popup that will take you right to an MS page with the problem description and cause as well as a possible solution. For getting the onboard sound to work making sure the onboard is enabled in the bios and reviewing the tech details seen in the link on the error report if that comes up at all.

Letting Windows auto search for all drivers however is what probably saw an incorrect version for something go on. Upon seeing the initial problems with Vista drivers going onto XP I prevented the installer from getting updates with the first card used.

ha ha. Awesome.

I've been reading about the error, and I can't find any useful information that would apply to you. An overheating or overclocked processor can generate that STOP code, but that's unlikely in your situation. However, you can try temporarily returning your processor to the default speed and see if you receive the same BSOD.

Another option is to manually uninstall some of the updates. Not sure where you would start, though.

Thanks Mike, but at the moment my CPU is at stock, it isn't OC'ed...
Isn't there a way to check BSOD's to see what's causing them?

Sure! Yeah, where would I find it though?

Thanks Dave, but I have the sound working

Ok but that message usually comes up after a bad programme installation?

Jabes · 12-27-2007, 07:25 PM

sfc is system file checker and it will scan to see if any system files are missing and if they are it will probably ask you to insert your vista disk and it will replace the files that are missing if any.

I got the BSOD before I had any of the drivers installed, but after I got the Windows updates...
