A little Help with Game Crashe's Please
 
Guys, maybe some of you out there know what this means.
I had a crash and got the following error signature:

BCCode 1000008e BCP1:C0000005 BCP2: BFC9C3CB BCP3: B9039A60 BCP4: 0000000 OSVer: 5_1_2600 SP:2_0
Product 768_1

Additionally the following error report contents.

C:\ DOCUME~1\BILLCL~\LOCALS~1\TEMP\WER7F7E.dir00\Mini0 22606-01.dmp

C:\ DOCUME~1\BILLCL~\LOCALS~1\TEMP\WER7F7E.dir00\sysda ta.xml

Thanks.

Does SH3 crash regularly? Are there any symptoms before it crashes, like sound or graphic freezes?

No gizzmoe, just crashe's mid game, I think it may be the motherboard, if I remove one of the 512mg chips it runs flawlessly, albeit a little slower. The ram is fine, had it checked, the first motherboard i got was faulty, what's the chances of a whole batch being faulty ?

I just saw that you already posted about this problem last year:

He´s right, the problem could be that the two aren´t exactly the same and that they don´t like to work together.

They are both the same mate, checked that, for some reason my system won't play the game with 1 gig, 512 no problems.

What about other games? Do they also crash? If not then maybe it´s just a stupid coincidence that SH3 crashes, though that´s a bit unlikely. A reinstall could help.

Check the memory timings in the BIOS. They should be set to "By SPD" or "Automatic". If they are already set to "By SPD" you can also try and manually set the timings. When you choose "Manual" the current RAM times are shown, raise the CAS setting by 0.5, so if it´s 2.5 raise it to 3.

In case your PC doesn´t boot after that (which is highly unlikely) switch it off, hold down the Insert key, switch the PC on while still holding down the Insert key, that resets the BIOS to the default settings.

Thanks, I have no idea what that all means but will look in to it. No my other games don't crash.
thanks for the help mate.

You´re welcome! Let me know if it worked.

Whoa, never knew about that insert key thing!
