    I reformatted the hard drive on a different computer without problems (Windows XP, Service Pack 3). Inserted the formatted hard drive back into the original computer, booted up and received the BSOD. I restarted in the advanced mode pressing the F-8 key. I tried each method outlined in the advanced mode. Each time the computer returned the BSOD. Since onboard video is on the mainboard. I purchased and installed a PCI video card. Again I received the BSOD when I turned on the computer. I suspect that the BIOS has somehow been corrupted but have no way to re-load or update the BIOS information. I will keep the board and install it in another computer in order to determine if the motherboard is bad. Meanwhile. I will purchase and install a new motherboard. If you have any idea, please list them. Bet I’m not the only one this happened to.

    BTW, I am using Windows XP, Service Pack 3

    Thanks

    @N.Morgan – Stop error 0×00000116 is a video or display error. In some (older) BIOS you can set a option related S3 wake up, you could try changing those to see if it helps.
    Checking if you have the latest video drivers also is a good idea.
    What Windows version are you using?

    Help have blue screen with the following information

    bugcheck 0x00000116 (0x89165510), 0x92a41330,0x00000000,0x00000002

    it only occures when my computers is woken from sleep. can you help?

    @sweeeeeeety – If you can not start Windows at all, the only option is to use a Windows boot CD and use the Repair option of the Setup.
    Apart from that reinstalling Windows is the next option. You could also install another copy of Windows on the same disk and than run a virus scan, but I am not sure if that is worth the effort.

    @David – I am not familiar with that error code as a bsod error. But from your description it sounds as if you reformatted AND installed Windows maybe? In that case the Windows system configuration probably does not match your PC configuration, which makes sense since it will be based on the other PC. If possible, use a Windows boot CD and reformat and reinstall on your own PC.

    How can I run a scan if I cannot get onto windows at all? Is there a way of doing it

  6. David says:

    Hi hope you can help me. This is what I got on the blue screen:
    ***stop: 0CX0000005, 0XF75DE0BF, 0XF7A2A208, 0XF7A29F08
    *** PCI.SYS-ADDRESS F75DE0BFBASE AT F75D7000, DATESTAMP 3B7D855C.

    I reformatted the SATA hard drive in another computer. It reformatted properly but I still get the above listed information when I put it back into the other computer from which It came.

    Can you advise me what I should do?

    Thanks

    @sweeeeeeety – Did you try uninstalling the new software that you mention in your first comment? Also try running a virus scan is possible to exclude any viruses related to the recent software installation.

    @Matt – Most 0x0000008e stop errors are related to faulty RAM, so run a memory test first. There is one known virus that can cause this error too, so running a virus scan is also a good idea.
    If all that fails, it could very well be a motherboard issue….

    Hey Anthony,
    I’ve looked through the web + this site and got no luck with my problem.
    Can you help with this blue screen message?
    top: 0x0000008e (0xC0000018, 0x80536306, 0xBAEA78E4, 0x00000000)

  9. sweeeeeeety says:

    I did the chkdsk and no errors had come up and I still get the same error :(
    What shoud l do ????

    Thank you

  10. Anthony says:

    @sweeeeeeety – Stop error 0x00000023 is related to the file system. If you can still boot in Safe Mode, you can try running a CHKDSK /F at the command prompt. If the safe mode does not work, you’ll need a bootable Windows CD and start from that. You can then try the Repair option or also run the CHKDSK /F in the recovery console.

    Hi,

    Can you please help me resolve this.

    Thank you

    Hey

    I got the blue screen a few days ago and cannot get onto windows at all however, because my computer is set to automatic restart I cannot read the error displayed.
    I checked many posts on how to get rid of it but in all of them they all had the errors displayed, so does anybody know how to disable automaic restart but not via control panel as I cannot acces the computer in any mode, so that you can help me get rid of the BSOD completely. I do think that it was caused due to me installing a new software, but am not 100% sure.

    Your help is really appreciated,

    Thank you

    @error – Did you install any software with virtual devices, like MagicISO or Deamon Tools? The error could be a problem with a virtual device driver.
    One other common option is a memory (RAM) error, so run a memory test.
    Try booting in Safe Mode to correct things (F8 during startup).

    cant start my pc …….evrytime i try to log in a ble screen appears i dont kno wat to do. technical info *** stop: 0x0000008e (0xc0000005,0x866daf51,0xba4b3b64,0x00000000). wat shud i do?????

    @Guska – You need to make sure that you configure the Startup options in the Bios to boot from your CD/DVD driver first. Use a Windows setup disc to boot.
    While starting, your system might tell you to press a key to boot from CD/DVD.

    And it has nothing to do with performance, it is a single boot to fix your Windows configuration.

  16. Guska says:

    Hy again ehhh, how to boot from disk and will that ruin my perfomance?

  17. Anthony says:

    @Rick – Seems some hardware in your system is defect. At least make sure you load the default BIOS settings.
    If that does not help, try changing the RAM.

    @Guska – Windows will restart on a BSOD error. You can change that in the Control Panel in System, Advanced. But of course you need to be able to run Windows for that. If you can not even boot in Safe Mode, then you will need to boot from a Windows setup or recovery disk and use the Repair option in the setup.

    @Camren – In most cases stop error 0x0000004e means a memory (RAM) problem. Run MemTest86 if you can , otherwise try changing your RAM.

  18. Camren says:

    Can any one help me i keep getting this blue screen error

    the computer has rebooted from a bug check 0x0000004e (0x0000000000000099, 0x000000000010abc0, 0x0000000000000000, 0x000000000010bdc0)

  19. Guska says:

  20. Rick says:

    Hi im getting the
    STOP: 0X00000024(0X001902F8,0XF790A704,0XF790A404,0XF7118411)

    Which appears to be the same problem Nicki had on the 24th of June…

    Now my problem goes a bit further then hers… My computer gets to the selection screen

    Safe Mode
    Safe Mode with Command Prompt etc etc

    As I press enter on Safe mode with Command Prompt Or any other infact It bluescreens and immediately restarts the system…

    I have entered my windows disk to perform a Reformat but even that does not work it gets to the part where i press enter to start reformatting i press enter then BAM! Bluescreen again then i have to reboot it myself…

    I think my computer is completely screwed HELP

    Thanks in advance

    @Devin – If you installed a new motherboard, you need to reinstall Windows. The configuration will be different. Did you do that? And after that the BSOD still appeared exactly the same?
    Did you also run a RAM test?

  22. Devin says:

    Im getting Stop 0×0000006B PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED every time i try to boot windows.. it wont even let me boot into safemode it started happening after my motherboards chipset fan died. since then iv swaped out the mobos and im still getting the same error any idea how to fix this without access to safemode?

  23. Anthony says:

    @hackt – You need to configure Windows not to reboot automatically on a stop error, so you can see the error code. Anyway, you got it a different way :)
    Stop error 0×0000000A is often a hardware or driver error. You can search some of the earlier comments for this error to see what you can try to fix that stop error.
    Accessing the files on your other Windows configuration should be possible though. Did you install both Windows copies in the C: drive or are you using multiple partitions (drives)?

    @ steven schanstra – Stop error 0×0000007b is a problem with your boot device. Could be your hard disk is having problems, or maybe you have a USB stick plugged that is being used to boot? If the latter is the case, simply remove the USB stick.
    In any case you need to boot the system to be able to check the hard disk. You can use a Windows CD for that.

  24. steven schanstra says:

    what does that mean?

  25. steven schanstra says:

    ok my error says stop: 0x0000007b (0xff78aa524,0xc0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000
