Quast Posted April 8, 2004 Well, I just recovered from a crash and am sitting in safe mode with networking. I saw a bunch of graphic garbage before I rebooted, when I did, windows wouldn't start up and my monitor said VGA mode not supported. Starting up in safe mode I'm seeing a tons of graphical artifacts running down the screen. Windows also gave me this... // // Watchdog Event Log File // LogType: Watchdog Created: 2003-04-08 00:59:21 TimeZone: 360 - Central Standard Time WindowsVersion: XP EventType: 0xEA - Thread Stuck in Device Driver // // The driver for the display device got stuck in an infinite loop.

Though I think It may be a memory issue. I have the latest drivers for my card, and I've never had a problem with it before. Can anyone give me a clue as to what the fucked happened, or what I should do? 0 Share this post Link to post
Ralphis Posted April 8, 2004 It happens. Happened to me once with my geforce, scared the shit out of me. I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled. Works fine since then 0 Share this post Link to post
Relica Religia Posted April 8, 2004 Yeah, and the random rebooting has happened to me before. However, that can also be linked to worms or Trojans. 0 Share this post Link to post
niguel Posted April 9, 2004 i had that infinite loop shit with my radeon 9700. the problem was solved by buying a better power supply and getting the NEWEST catalyst drivers (i had to wait til they released the newer ones, but this was AEONS ago). 0 Share this post Link to post
Liberation Posted April 9, 2004 How can you detect the trojans virus and what does it do? 0 Share this post Link to post
Quast Posted April 9, 2004 Well, the graphic glitches are gone (for now anyway). But the crashing remians the same. I really think it is the memory. When I put this box together last fall I just got a cheap stick of 512 to get by. Never had any issues, so I fogot about getting something better. Now I shall. 0 Share this post Link to post
