BSOD out of nowhere

Syxx_Killer · 01-08-07, 10:17 PM

The computer has been on all day as I turn it on the same time everyday. Just a couple minutes ago a blue screen of death popped up out of nowhere as the computer sat idle. At the top of the screen it said Memory Management. Then, it had the Stop line of code. Here is that code:

0x0000001A (0x00000780, 0xC06A3B40, 0x8137DF04, 0x00004C0)

This is rather alarming. I hope something serious isn't starting to appear.

type this in in the microsoft help center.

It should tell you.

Thanks, I will check it out later.

I just got an idea to check the Event Viewer in Control Panel. I open it up and view the System reports. One stuck out at me. It is a Service Control Manager error. It occured at 10:12:18 PM. Right around the time of the BSOD. The error message says:

The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
atitray

Could this have triggered the BSOD? It doesn't quite make much sense, though. atitray sounds like it has to do with my video card's driver or ATI's CCC. Why would the BSOD mention something about Memory Management if this error occured around the time of the BSOD? I think this dumb computer is making me paranoid.

Edit:

Nevermind. That must have happened upon the reboot. At 10:11:59 in the Event Viewer there is a Save Dump entry. This is what it says:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000001a (0x00000780, 0xc06a3b40, 0x8137df04, 0x000004c0). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini010807-01.dmp.

A couple seconds prior to that are two eventlog entries. Each entry says:

The Event log service was started.

I did check out Microsoft's Knowledge Base to see what it had to say. It does give me a result but I'm not sure what to make of it. It doesn't really help.

Do you have an ATI card?

This stop message is hardware related and that's why the atitray points to an ATI card. Check your device manager for conflicts, try a different video driver, etc.

1. Disable Write Combining, this is in your advanced options in your display properties.
2. Disable Video caching via your Bios settings.
3. Check to see if your video card requires updated hardware drives from the 3rd party site.
4. Check the microsoft site for hardware drives if maybe a prefix is needed for the hardware.
5. Start --> Run --> Dxdiag --> Run a couple of Direct X tests to make sure you aren't having a problem with direct X.
6. Pull out your video card and maybe try a different one if you have the resources, if the problem presists, this is not a video card problem.
7. If you cant do #6 try maybe just taking off the side of your computer and look at the video card, is it dusty? Damaged maybe? Is it connected maybe a little lose, tighten it or push it in and make sure its not loose.
8. Check your device manager to make sure your only have ONE display adapter, if you have more then one then your computer is trying to use the settings possibly from your other piece of hardware, simply disable the one you do not have. While you are in there check for any Bangs "!" beside them, if there are Bangs "!" present, there is something being detected with your video card and the device is not working correctly.

Yes, I have an ATI card. I don't know if it has anything to do with this Memory Management BSOD or not, though. I think that is a whole other error. If that is some more driver related issues, I'm going back to the ATI 5.10 drivers. They never gave me a problem until that BSOD while playing SH3 a few weeks ago. The file mentioned in the BSOD was ati3duag.dll. I'm guessing maybe it somehow became corrupt as I never got a BSOD playing SH3 before then, and I played it allot. I'm hoping a simple reinstall of the drivers will put a good ati3duag.dll back on. But back to my other BSOD. As I started Windows (XP Pro SP2) today, I got an error message. It said Windows has encountered an error. I could send an error report or not. Event Viewer in Control Panel shows this:

Error code 0000001a, parameter1 00000780, parameter2 c06a3b40, parameter3 8137df04, parameter4 000004c0.

Yet another reference to the original BSOD last night. As I said in a post above, I did check the MS Knwoledge Base but I'm not sure it really helps.
