Howdy, this aint a nice problem, seeing that this happens with different operating systems the only problem could be Hardware or Drivers, try the latest drivers for graphics, Sound and motherboard chipset, but, with all the other hardware you tried it could be something you didn't change or still Driver issues.

Look at the Stop error and give me the driver name.

This Stop message should have four parameters:

1.) Memory address that was improperly referenced.
2.) IRQL that was required to access the memory.
3.) Type of access.
4.) Address of the instruction that attempted to reference memory specified in parameter 1.

If the last parameter is within the address range of a device driver used on your system, you can determine which device driver was running when the memory access occurred. You can typically determine the driver name by reading the line that begins with:

**Address 0xZZZZZZZZ has base at <address>- <driver name>

Well from experience this is most likely being caused by bad/incompatible/faulty memory.

Here's what you need to test to see if it is indeed a memory issue:

1) Remove all but a single stick of memory from the machine and do a clean install, i.e., reformat a test HD and install either 2K or XP and see what happens during the install process and after all SP's and driver updates are installed.

2) If this works then you need to mark that specific stick of ram, I use those nice colored round labels for this so they can be easily removed.

3) You can check the motherboard manufacturer for the latest BIOS rev and flash your firmware. This is neccessary due to the fact that many times the updates are there just to fix/correct timing and other issues with the multitude of ram modules out there wink

Sometimes you find a name brand module will not work properly in a specific make/model of mobo. Also note that any Dual-Channel board, regardless of wether it's an Intel or AMD CPU based board, is going to be even more picky about memory timings and such wink

Here's an example of such a memory timing problem.

We have a client that uses Intel mobo's exclusively and they are using one config for general workstation use using a Celeron D, Model 320 CPU. Now we thought that DDR333/PC2700 memory should work in dual-channel mode, but not on this board. You have to reconfigure the memory for single-channel mode or replace said memory with DDR400/PC3200 for proper operation. Perhaps Intel figured you'd only use this since it pretty much costs the same as the slower ram anyway wink

nooooo, whyyyyyyy...

another blue screen over the night, i can give u the numbers and stuff if u need it but the device driver was tcpip.sys, what does that say, i have also had the device driver name as ntoskrnl.exe and win32k.sys i will paste the technical inforamtion in 4 hours.

anyone know what the problem is?

Try running with just a single stick of memory and try running the memory at either 266 or 333 instead of 400 and see what happens.

ok here is the latest BSODs technical info:

STOP: 0x00000001 (0x00075423, 0x0000002, 0x00000001, 0xBE994397)

Adress BE994397 base at BE981000, Datestamp 3eaf053b - tcpip.sys

dumping physical memory...

yeap, what can u tell me guys?

Yes it can, as the three above listed messages in your original post all point to the same cause, flakey/bad/incompatible ram.

The reason I suggested running a single stick along with slowing down the memory speed it to see if indeed the memory and motherboard combo can run together at the faster 400 FSB speed, you may find it can't and/or can't when running more then one stick of ram wink

Better use Memtest86 to check your RAM... I would re-add all of your RAM, then run http://www.memtest86.com/ to check for errors.

Also, you may want to check your BIOS settings for your RAM timings, etc. To be safe, write down the settings, then load the BIOS defaults before running Memtest86.

I have the same problem on the following system : Athlon 2000+ , 1667 Mhz, mainboars soyo K7vmp, integrated graphic card, audio and lan. Please help me with an answer.
Question : If I shall buy a graphic card (Gecube 9550GU, 128 Ram) what am I supposed to do with the integrated one? Can I simply take out the 32 ram from bios and put it back to the ram?

Most/Many motherboards will simply disable the onboard graphics adapter once it detects an AGP graphics card is connected to it. Some however require that you do indeed go into the system BIOS and disable the onboard graphics, this will also free up whatever amount of shared memory was allocated to it wink

Are you running any anti-virus software?

I get the same blue screen, and McAfee Virusscan Enterprise v8 is causing it, despite me applying the hot fixes up to 9.
