Computers and Games / Win XP Error:- Stop: 0x0000008E Fixes?
« on: May 26, 2008, 12:39:59 pm »
I found this... it may help for the time being....
Its something about DUAL OR QUAD CPUS Affinities. So basically, I don't know why but, if you set ONLY CPU 0 on both eve.exe you should be fine without any BSOD...
How you do that??? CTRL + ALT + DELETE , Right click on WoW.exe and then click on SET AFFINITY and just make sure you use CPU0 on both eve.exe...
You should no longer have the BSOD HA10KX2K.SYS error...

I "think" you may get a pretty decent amount for the agp gfx card, as new decent ones are getting rarer, should you decide to sell it

The main reason for my pc being so expensive at the time was that i was having to do a total upgrade, mobo/cpu/memory/gfx, but the advantage now is, all i need to do is either cpu or gfx \o/
One other factor at the time, was that the monitor and gfx card were out less than a month when i "needed" to buy it....so,like a fool, i paid through the nose for it.
the monitor itself asus mw221...not a 226 as i said above)is now £70 cheaper (mind you if it was badged with a silly fruit like logo it woulda been nearly £500 to start with
)

tbh, atm, your most important component to buy will be the motherboard.
ensure it can take sli x 16 ... some only do it x8, then pop in a average ( ie cheap) dual core awesomeness e6600/e6700 would do for the moment, then plonk in the faster ( and cheaper ) cpu later
My system as it stands, is 1 year old, and consists of
1 x Intel core2duo E6600
1 x Asus pn5-e-sli Mobo
1 x Bfg nvidia 8800gts ( 640Mb)
4Gb of matched ram
Extreme Music XFI soundcard
random HD
and a slightly generic modular psu...
and the Asus mw226 22" widescreen monitor
I doubt mine would even cost £600 if it were to be built nowadays possibly £700 with the monitor...
All i need to do for my next upgrade, is either change out the cpu, or change out the gfx, but, atm, I dont think there will be a need within the next year...

just get a dual core atm, then pop in a quad core for much less when its warrented
tbh, there still isnt that much more you can do with dual core atm, never mind quad...
I've had my dual core for a year now, and nothing has come close to even nearly taxing it
I'd also advise against SLI ing up the cards
just get the mutts nutts in a single card solution.. then again, in the future, if warrented, you just pop in another.... or replace it with the amd xxxgtfxomg or the nvidia jesusHwtfbbq (whatever the next gen cards will be called)

hard shut down? as in complete power off and no blue screen?
It may be worth trying to remove the cpu - clean it- re-spooge it, and replace?
I had a couple of incident s where my pc has just totally switched off, and ^^ is how i resolved it ( or it was coincidence)
If the cpu is slightly older, it may be that the spooge is too dry and acting as an insulator, therefore, getting hotter, and possibly drawing more power, hence the psu shutting down to protect it ?

oh, the ubuntu one is like 650mb
the damn small linux is around 50Mb
Ubuntu saved me on saturday when i accidently deleted some important start up files from windows....
booted from the cd, and plugged in the usb drive with the files on it, and plonked them back in the windows/system32 folder and job was a good un!

get a linux live CD, and boot up from it
it gives you a full operating system, and if its not the hard drive thats fooked, then it will give you the ability to back up your stuff as it would let you transfer files onto your external usb drive
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/current/dsl-4.2.5.iso
download and burn to cd either of the above image files

icybox and decent size HD!
icybox
http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/info_3898.html
HD
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/113435
take HD, shove into icybox, oplug into PC, either via a USB cable ( even YOU can manage that)
if your motherboard has sata...( ask Chris )
Then plug the sata backplate that comes with the icybox into an internal header on your mobo ( dead easy too) and you can connect the icybox with your new HD that way, and it will run at UBER quick speeds, as it should run at the same speeds an internal drive
i has one! and it has blue LEDS, what more can you want?
