Re: problems with PC crashing; help/insight requested



I hope my instructions in Debugging Windows and How to Setup helped.

I will tell you ... depending on your system .... I have had problems with
McAfee on every system. As well as Norton.

Maybe someone can help you further ... I hear ZoneAlarm is pretty good.
Good luck in uninstalling McAfee. I just did that last weekend on my
sisters system. Ran all the uninstall programs from Add/Remove Programs....
and it still didn't uninstall everything.

Had to download all the McAfee Cleanup Tool Scripts from
forums.mcafeehelp.com, and it still get everything. I had to manually edit
the Registry and cleanup Services and HKLM\Software and HKCU\Software
registry entries.

Hi. Thanks to you all.

This is going to be a bit lengthy, including two logs of the windows debug
utility, sorry for that. At the end of that there is more info, also more
important I think. The second log pertains the crash that followed shortly
after the first one, while I was trying to investigate the situation. Feel
free to skip some stuff, the end of this message is probably the most
important.

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: bf8345ea, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: ba398bdc, Trap Frame

The file nv4_disp.dll is mentioned, and it seems to be part of the McAfee
software. Deleting that file (including the McAfee software) is an option
for
further consideration, if necessary.

Now, about the memory: memory seems to be really tricky. I'll save you
some
trouble by skipping the less important details. First of all, I used the
memtest86 and the Windows memory diagnostic tool. (I have Windows XP
service
pack 2, Home Edition) Recently, I received a few errors with a few RAM
tests,
but most tests indicated that everything was fine. But not Memtest86 test
5
and 8. And not test stride6 of the Windows memory tool. The Windows memory
diagnostic Memtest86 sort of "calls" my chipset (or perhaps driver??,
probably chipset) Nvidia nForce SPP/FSB 166 Mhz. When I bought this
system, I
had 256 MB RAM, one module. I've never gotten an error message in that RAM
module. Recently I noticed some errors in the second 256 MB RAM module
that I
bought some months ago, possibly causing the crashes. The second module
was
different from the first. I've tried a lot.

But now, after tweaking the bios (or CMOS ? I haven't done those things in
ages) I switched something from SP to Auto. Guess what ?? Further memory
tests did not discover a single error !

Can anyone explain to me what SP is ??

I hope that this does solve my problem, and if not, I'll consider deleting
all Mcafee software, including nv4_disp.dll.

I've tried to get for all relevant things to get the latest drivers. I
intended to update my mainboard M7NCD (not PRO !), but no update seemed
available.

So the RAM itself was not faulty. Any further advice/insight appreciated.

Thank you.
