• Stop Code 0X0000008E (0XC0000005, 0X822711A7,...)

  Hello

  I tried to use this stupid program called Ccleaner and when he went to clean the registry, in my view, that he fucked it with my drivers or something because now my flipping laptop mouse does not work.  in any case, I tried to go back to before that I started the program, but it does not work.

  I get the blue screen of death when I start my computer, and then it just hangs.  The stop codes are the following;

  0X0000008E (0XC0000005, 0X822711A7, 0X8CAE891C, 0x00000000)

  Now, I've done some reading on the first 2 codes, but I can't find anything on the rest.

  I reinstalled Windows Service Pack 2 and that did nothing.  I tried to do a restore and that doesn't work anymore.

  Help, please.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Update your driver, BIOS and any software of control and then work through the troubleshooting services
  above if necessary.

  Could be a nuisance pilot. Update your drivers manually looking at system manufacturer and
  Sites of the manufacturer of the device.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  BCCode: 8th 0x0000008E is the same as 0x1000008E

  Cause

  Bug KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED control is a very common bug control. To interpret it, you must identify which exception has been generated.

  Common exception codes are:

  • 0xc0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates that a memory access violation has occurred.

  Solve the problem

  If you do not have to debug this problem, you must use certain basic troubleshooting techniques:

  • Make sure you have enough disk space.
  • If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates.
  • Try changing video cards.
  • Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS.
  • Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.

  If you plan to debug this problem, you may find it difficult to get a stack trace. Parameter 2 (the address of the exception) should identify the driver or function that caused the problem.

  If you do not know the specific cause of the exception, consider the following:

  • Hardware incompatibility. Ensure that all new equipment installed is listed in the list of the products tested Microsoft Windows market.
  • Service driver or defective peripheral system. A chauffeur service or defective peripheral system could be responsible for this error. The hardware problems, such as BIOS incompatibilities, conflicts of memory and IRQ conflicts can also generate this error.

  If the verification of the message bug list a driver by name, disable or remove that driver. In addition, disable or remove drivers or services that have been recently added. If the error occurs during the startup sequence and the system partition is formatted with the NTFS file system, you may be able to use Safe Mode to rename or to delete the faulty driver. If the driver is used as part of the start-up procedure of the system Safe Mode, you must start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file.

  If the problem is associated with Win32k.sys, the source of the error may be a third-party remote control program. If this software is installed, you can remove the system startup service using the recovery and then Console by removing the offending system service file.

  Check the system log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help identify the device or driver responsible for control of bug 0x1E. You can disable the cache in memory of the BIOS to try to resolve the error. You must also run the diagnostics of material, especially the scanner memory, which provides the manufacturer of the system. For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.

  The error that generates this message may occur after the first reboot during Windows Setup, or after installation is complete. A possible cause of the error is lack of disk space for installation and the system BIOS incompatibilities. For any problems during the installation of Windows that are associated with lack of disk space, reduce the number of files on the hard disk drive target. Search and delete temporary files that you do not have to have, files hidden Internet, application backup files and files saved.chk, which contain fragments of files on disk scans. You can also use an another hard disk drive with more free space for the installation.

  You can solve the problems of BIOS by upgrading the version of the system BIOS

• Lean how to run the stop code when the highest level VI ends

  Hi people.

  I am a newbie of LV with 30 years of experience in embedded SW engineering.  I searched for how to run the stop code when a VI of highest level ends.  I found many examples, but they are horribly complicated.  A little birdie told me that such a model of simple design should not be so compilicated.

  My application is an application of high tension control to disable all HV checkpoints when the SW ends.  My VI code is running in a while loop with a stop button that leads out of the loop.  I can easily accomplish my requirement by programming with a sequence of plate that runs after the end of the main loop.  The technique of flat sequence does not work when the user clicks the Cancel button in the toolbar of façade, more than that market when the user clicks the close button of the application (X button) when you run the exe application.

  Can someone tell me please a simple technique, the code example that can show me a lean and elegant way to accomplish my task?  It doesn't have to be an obvious solution (for example a stop induced watchdog seems simple enough).

  Thank you - John Speth

  Original title: blue screen of death AND Google Redirect Virus?
  Hey guys! :)

  So last night, my computer has experienced many problems that seem to just get worse and worse.

  It all started with a Google search I did; I must have clicked a bad link or something, because then my computer kept asking me permission to install some kind of .exe file (I don't remember what it's called, but I knew it was sketchy, so I clicked 'Cancel', but the guest has continued to pop up whenever I tried to close.) Then I closed Firefox and the pop - up's order, but then shortly after, a message came up on my screen saying:

  "A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
  INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR
  If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
  etc etc.

  STOP code: 0x000000AD (0x00000001, 0x00000000, 0 x 00000006, 0 x 85879410)

  After research I discovered that I had the unfortunate Blue Screen of Death, which now appears whenever I try to restart my computer.

  I did a system restore to a time before that day, a malware scan using Hitman Pro 3.5 that has detected a bunch of malware that I deleted, but the BSOD persists. Later in the night, I was unable to run the .exe files and kept getting an error message "the dependency service or group could start", but fortunately, this question is left today (or at least for the moment...)

  Apart from this question, I also have the Google redirect Virus, which I think is related to my BSOD problem. I had a few weeks ago and managed successfully to remove it with Hitman Pro but now he's back with a vengeance. I did multiple scans with Hitman Pro with no results, I tried to launch the Device Manager looking TDSSserv.sys with no luck and I'm starting to feel like there is no hope :(

  I'm not extremely proficient in computer science so absolutely any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm also running Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion laptop if this is useful information.

  Thanks again! :)
