Computer boot probs

[fridge914]

Hi,

i hope someone can help?! My computer has dumped (again) STOP 0x0000008E etc etc So when i try to boot again i have tried to go into safe mode (as I am about to format the damn thing anyway) my keyboard does not work (tried 2 others) so it automatically boots straight into windows and halfway through the boot up it dumps again. I have a 98 boot disk (which i use al the time) but when it is loaded I cannot move to any of the options or type anything as the keyboard isnt recognised. Any help would be appreciated as I have been on the thing for hours now (this is my laptop i am using to try and get help).

can you post the dump.txt file, so i can ake a look for you......download memtest as well boot from the floppy and allow it to test ya ram,,,takes 24 hours,,,,, all do an inegrity check on ya hard drive, scandisk. etc.

do you have a nvidia graphics card,,,,i know that stop error was due to an outdated driver...happened to me....try the newest driver if so from http://www.nvidia.com

let me know if you need anymoree assistance

I cant get into anything on the computer, because Bios goes straight to hard drive and tries to load windows, so i cant even press F8 to do a safe boot as it wont recognise the keyboard

0xc0000005 point to a multitude of things...usually damaged ram,,,,mailware especilly pre service packs 2,and/or a poorly wriiten windows update or device driver.

if you have more then one stick of ram try one connected at a time,and try different slots....if that still screws up,,,then update ALL driver DO NOT forget CHIPSET drivers.....

 

do you have a nviadia card.....

 

what was you doing before all this happened.....

any hardware changes.
