STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER

[Hellotalkie]

I just bought all these parts. I have a 7800gt amd 64 3200+ 2gb or ram and a 500wat allied psu. I get this error when i play bf2 or just games. I thought i was the psu so i bought a allied psu. I would go into a infinite loop. My mb is are480ms made by msi. I has a ati chipset while i have a nvidia card. Will that interfere? Please respond

Umm. What? Read every damn word of the page.

 

[Hellotalkie]

i have to turn down the hardware acceleration which then i would loose performance

I see. Did you also see that turning down hardware acceleration was just a step in troubleshooting?

If you have an A64 CPU, make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your CPU, mobo, including chipset drivers, audio drivers if using onboard or not. And make sure you have the latest WHQL nvidia drivers which I believe are the 78.01's.

well doesnt it give me less performance i do turn down the hardware accleration. Also where can i find drivers for a my amd64 3200+ right now iam dl the chipset drivers do i need to uninstall teh old ones first? Do i need to update my onboard audio drivers

Well, if you aren't going to turn of acceleration, lets look at the other things.

Drivers, what version? A different device driver may fix this.

Do you use the same setting in all games? Change your resolution up or down, or even use a different sync rate. Sometimes a display driver can act up in just one setting and be fine in others. Change your desktop setting too.

I would update audio anyway, but they would not cause this error.

I just got the bsod when i was replying. anyway if i do turn off hardware accerleration will i lose a great amout of performance? I have tried many drivers and the one i have now is 81.82. I have changed teh settings for my monitor and i have a flat panel. do i need drivers for my moniter because windows update has some

 

[Hellotalkie]

o yea the bsod was machine_check_exception

Quote from my PM to you:

"I think it is safe to say that you need to make sure ALL latest drivers are installed. Including:

CPU driver from AMD website
Motherboard drivers from motherboard makers website (ALL of them)
Sound Card drivers (if using onboard sound, the motherboard makers website will have them)
Video card drivers from Nvidia's website.

I'm going to try this one more time. Turning down hardware acceleration was just for troubleshooting purposes.
Only temporary to try and find your problem. You didn't read the MS article otherwise you would have known that. First, get your system working, that is first in line. Worry about performance later. Because if your system is not working, you have ZERO performance now don't you?

Let me know if you need some help.

Have you done any of this yet?
And why arent you understanding that the acceleration thing is just to test with? WHY!!!!

 

[Markbnj]

Well, actually, it is a workaround, not a diagnostic step, and the article does note that you will lose some performance.

 

[Hellotalkie]

ok i just installed amd drivers. I havent had problems yet but i have only been playing for 30 min. Also now if hardware acceleration doesnt work wat should i do. Do you know why i got that bsod? Also in bf2 i only get 30fps average is it because my wireless internet is causing it. I lowered to teh resoulution and all the settings are at high. I have the card oc a little but not
alot and i do have 2gb of ram but 2 sticks are generic. So 2 corsair and 2 generic each 512x 4

 

[Hellotalkie]

well i read that other ppl said u will lose some performance.

Turn off the overclocking and try.
