Epox 8RDA+ BSOD

[crisscross]

Hello ppl. I keep getting a BSOD on my 8RDA+
Here is the error code:

STOP:0X000C0052, 0X00000002, 0X00000000, 0XBFE3B8C6

DRIVER_IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Address BFE3B8C6 base at BFE380006,

DATESTAMP 3DE59769-NVENET.SYS

beginning dump of physical memory.

many ppl thought it was the RAM, and even though Memtest86, Prime95 and Scandisk (Powermax has an issue with the Epox) showed no errors.

I formatted my hard drive, installed Win2k with SP2, Direct X8.1 and Nforce 2.00 and I still have the same problem

Please help... I don't know what to try next.

btw I only installed basic stuff like Catalyst drivers and Office XP

are you overclocking?

i was gettn random blue screens when i didnt have enough core voltage. after i bumped it up a bit more it went away.

 

[crisscross]

nope. Running everything at stock speeds

 

[arcenite]

Including your memory timings? Try upping your voltages just a little bit, if that does not fix it, you have a hardware problem.

Are they the nForce 2.03 drivers?

Ive not seen my nForce Ethernet controller drivers crash since ive owned the board (a couple of months now). Tried checking CPU voltage regulation?

Ive noticed on my MSI K7N2 mainboard that cpu regulation has a large range , although little deviation. Not sure if same on Epox boards.

One of your system components that uses nvenet.sys is either corrupted, or not compatible for your OS. Start is VGA mode and see if it happens.

yup! everything including the memory is running at default speeds. The cpu core is running at 1.5. I tried upping it to 1.75 and temps shot up! 58c load and I had to bring the voltage back to 1.5
Miken: Can you tell me what VGA mode is and what exactly I need to do? I am not very clear.
Thanx ppl, if it is a hardware problem, I would like to know which one before i RMA because I live in India and I need to ship it back to the US to get a replacement

oh btw, after I get the BSOD, I get the sound of a siren when I hit restart.... I put this rig together in December and it was working fine until now... I did upgrade to a Radeon 8500 but that was abt 2 months ago.

I think txxxx is right. NVENET.SYS sounds like onboard ethernet. DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL stop errors are often caused by buggy drivers or BIOS. You should by running nforce 2.03 driver package. It's WHQL

 

[crisscross]

I was running the Nforce 2.03 driver package I had the same problems, so doubt it's because of that... any other suggestions? If it's the Ethernet controller then I could disable the Onboard controller and use a old Ethernet card I have lying around.. think that will help?
