exception 0xc0000005

ridgewayranger · 08-17-08, 12:29 PM

Hi,
I keep getting the above exception after T.C.ing across the Pacific. Maybe it isn't specific to SH4, I don't know, but perhaps one of you knowledgeable people has seen it before and has a solution. I sure hope so. I'm having to save in small chunks at the moment to prevent losing a lot of hard steaming.

I'm gonna bet it's a faulty memory module.

That is a memory allocation error. Could be a fubared install of Sh4 to a physical memory problem.

Any details on the RAM? Total amount, amount per module, speed of the module(s), etc?

Hi,
Thanks to those of you who responded to my plea.
My memory is 4x512mb,DDR11,533. This has been in use for sometime before the problem appeared. I had U/G'd to Geforce 8600GT before it started, if this is significant.
I have reinstalled SH4 with T.M 1.76, TMO, TMO Service Pack and RSRDC_TMOv14_v370, in that order. I have 2 other installations so will run them to see if they have this problem.
Tests on the memory show no problems.
Thanks again,
RR

Well, if you recently upgraded the card, I'm gonna assume that you openend up the case. Maybe bumped one of the modules by accident? Could try going in again and re-seating the memory, maybe take 'm out and blow out any dust from the socket, you know fiddle with it a bit. (as long as you're carefull, ofcourse

)

If the problem started after the upgrade then the safest bet is to blame NVidia. Try upgrading to the newest drivers and see if that fixes it. If that doesn't work then fiddle with the card's settings a bit(ie. start with the eye candy off and start brining it back one bit at a time to see what causes the problem, if anything at that department)
