Hi all (lee),
I keep getting this in a BSOD. I don't know what the deal is.. but it's really starting to eark me off. I did'nt get it till i upped the FSB by 3Mhz.. once i got the first one i lowered it back down one then it happened again.. lowered it again... it happened again. Now it' seems ok.. Knowing my luck right after i post this it will BSOD.

Any help?

Hi Wes,

XP seems to like to throw the BSOD, using that title when it is overclocked too much.
In MOST cases, if you back it down you will boot into OS and all will run fine.

Lecture/Reminder time: Just remember to have a current image/backup/restore point made cause you know what will happen if ya don't.

Then you should be OK.

Take care........

hey lee,
Thanks bud.

Btw... It will boot into windows even if i don't back it down.. but sooner or later it will crash. :D

I knew the current image thing was coming.. i'am working on getting ghost. But like everything else, it costs money.

Yeah i know what will happen alright..

Hi Wes,

Yes, everybody hates for me to bring it up, but..........

Save your money and use restore points.
Here is a how to from MS that we use, so help yourself and maybe you can save a few bucks for a new "toy" later:

Restore points:
• Navigate to Start|Programs|Accessories|System Tools|System Restore
• An additional path may be Start|Run|Restore. This method will require that the System Restore executable be launched by the tester. RSTRUI.EXE.
• When the System Restore user interface or wizard is launched, you will need to select the radio button that indicates “Create a restore point” then choose the “Next” button.
• Follow the instructions given by the wizard to create a restore point. This is as easy as giving it a descriptive name, "Wes 1" for example. You will have that restore point for later, if needed.

• If your system will not boot to protected mode, i.e. you loaded a particularly flaky display adapter driver. You must boot to SAFE MODE and then you may access System Restore via the same path as protected mode.
• Launch system restore and this time choose the radio button that is labeled “Restore my computer to an earlier time”. Choose the “Next “ button.
• The next screen will allow you to select the restore point or system checkpoint you would like to revert your system to. Use the calendar on this page to select a date in BOLD type and then select the proper restore point. For testing purposes use the restore point that you created and named. Again, select the “Next” button.
• Confirm Restore Point Selection. If this is correct then advance the wizard, if not then go back and make the necessary adjustments before proceeding. This will initiate the restore process and your system will be restored to the selected time.

Just in case you or anyone else forgot how to do it.

Take care........

Hey lee,
Dang you!! I told you as soon as i was bout to do the backup /restore thing my comp would shut down.

Low and behold it did. But this time i did'nt get that message..i did'nt get one just a BSOD.

Lets try it again.

Hi Lil' Opp,

Just out of curiosity, was the error ntoskrnl?

[WesM63]

hey lee,
No.. there was'nt an error this last time.

P.S- If your thinking that i got it in regards to starting the prog, that's not the case.. i was just navigating to the prog when it BSOD.

[lechumbl]

OK,

Bout all I can say at this point is , if you get the prog runnin', get the restore done as fast as you can.

You may need to back off till stock, get the backup, then sneak up again.

Food gor thought.

Take care........

Hey lee,
Ok!! Another problem has arose.. It gives me an error on startup saying i need at least 200Mb of space.. I only have 70mb... but i have another hdd.. can't i put the restore on the other hdd?

[lechumbl]

Hi Wes,

I don't know, but would venture to guess that it needs to go on the OS hard drive, so will go out on a limb and say no.

You don't have anything to loose, so give it a try.
The worst it will do is not work.

Take care........

Hi lee,

Hi Synth,

If my systems were not all SCSI, I would have to give that a shot and get 4 of those babies.

Thanx for the info..........
