Answer» I get a BSOD with the error code STOP: 0xC000021a with the PARAMETER 0xC0000006 while playing Civ IV. 0xC000021A: STATUS_SYSTEM_PROCESS_TERMINATEDNew more consistent problem. 0x0000007a (0xC0600028, 0xC000000E, 0x4048A884, 0xC0005000). I haven't been able to find anything about this error on Windows 7. Download BlueScreenView (in Zip file) No installation required. Unzip downloaded file and double click on BlueScreenView.exe file to run the program. When scanning is done, go Edit>Select All. Go File>Save Selected Items, and save the report as BSOD.txt.

My sister's outlets are unfortunately two-prong, so she has an extension cable coming from my power bar to her room, which is plugged into another power bar itself. She runs a TV and a laptop off of that power bar, as well as a fan. My tower and monitor are both plugged into the power bar. Would this cause any difficulties? Strangely enough, I can usually play perfectly fine at night, when my sister is asleep; however, when she is gone to work, and takes her laptop wit her, I still have difficulties running without bluescreening. Could it just be that my house doesn't have the power necessary to supply my computer when there are other things running as well?OK, we have only one BSOD from today and the previous one is all the way back from 6/26 You're saying, you're getting BSODs all the time. I don't know, what to tell you about that power setup. I simply have no opinion. Most of your errors come from ntkrnlpa.exe, which is a system file, so the reason could be....anything....from overheating, through hardware (RAM, hard drive) to system files issue, or even some infection. Try small experiment. Buy your sister 2-prong to 3-prong adapter (couple of bucks), so she can use her outlet and see how it goes. I've gotten more than a few bluescreens today, and many over the past month. I guess my computer's not dumping properly. I'll see if my sister would be up for the adapter idea. I've run quite a few scans over the past weeks with Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware scan. As well, a few weeks ago my dad's coworker in the IT department took a look at it and apparently the hardware is fine, and he ran a stress test without it bluescreening, which leads me to think it has to do with something exclusive to when I'm using it - my monitor, my keyboard/mouse, my house's electricity, and a few other minor things like a headset and the Ethernet cable. I hope that narrows it down a bit, since the hardware is mostly clean.Quote I'll see if my sister would be up for the adapter idea.Let's try this first, so we can eliminate one possible culprit.Turns out those adapters are illegal in Canada due to two-prong outlets being illegal as well. I'm not sure what course of action to take though. I just bluescreened when my entire family was asleep and there was very little running. It was another 0x7a KERNAL_INPAGE_DATA_ERROR message.Alright, here's the deal... Should my CPU frequency be that low? And the 5v rail is displaying my -5v rail's voltage, should it be -12.22?Quote from: enginex on July 08, 2010, 12:28:46 AM Turns out those adapters are illegal in Canada due to two-prong outlets being illegal as well. 2-Pronged outlets aren't illegal. If I understand it correctly, new buildings or renovations need to have grounded outlets, and outlets in the bathroom need to be failsafe (the buggers with "test" and "reset" buttons on them), but, if you are in an older house whose outlets are only two-prongs or where the bathroom outlets aren't the "special" fail-safe ones, it's not illegal. It is extremely annoying though. I might point out that most devices that have a third prong require it- or more precisely, depend on it. In the case of a computer, often the voltages that are (or, if it actually is connected to a proper ground, aren't) present are used to determine the value of 0 bits... hard to explain, really. As we all know computers communicate throughout themselves using bits of 1 and zero, and these bits are represented by either the presence or the absence of voltage. Most electronic components within the computer will look the the power supply's "ground" wires to know what a 0 is. Most Power supplies offer GROUNDING through the computer chassis- but they also use the grounding prong of their connection. The fact is, with a adapter, there is no ground connection- is a complete faux. So while the power supply thinks that that particular line is a ground wire that it can rely on as 0, it's not, and is subject to random fluctuations. of course, you aren't plugging computer into a single pronged outlet, but is your power bar (or your extension cords, or whatever you have) plugged into a three pronged outlet? Additionally, lectures about grounding aside, I have to believe that this is almost certainly caused by the large number of extension cords and power bars that you seem to have involved (an extension cord plugged into a power bar connected to yet another power bar? Are you serious? What about plugging your PC and Monitor (or just the PC) directly into the wall instead of a power bar or extension cord? Extension cords, by the way, often have a shoddy or nonexistent ground. Quote from: enginex on July 08, 2010, 01:00:54 AM Should my CPU frequency be that low?Most CPU's downclock automatically when their extra horsepower isn't needed. my desktop and laptop both exhibit similar behaviour. I believe the technology is called speedstep. Quote And the 5v rail is displaying my -5v rail's voltage, should it be -12.22? I'm no electronics expert or electrician, but this could be caused by a faulty ground. the Voltages the Computer reports is really more a matter of "how far away from ground (0) is it?" so if the ground is shoddy and therefore not actually zero the measurements it provides will be skewed. Except, such skewing would occur with all of them. It's looking like you might want to try another PSU (first though... do any other programs report ~-12 volts for the +5v Rail? [/quote] |
