OT - Computer Issues (aka \"blue screen of death\")
Aren't computers great? They make our lives so much simpler, don't they?
So, the newest issue is a steady stream of OE : 0028 errors. Examples:
OE : 0028 : F7EFDD29
OE : 0028 : F7D4DDB7
OE : 0028 : F7EFF029
Tried searching for clues at Microsoft.com... we all know how simple that is... nada. Most of these happen at an attemted reboot, especially when an application is performing the sequence ( You must restart your computer before the blahblahblah... Do you want to restart your computer now? [Y/N])
System:
Windows Me
2.4 Ghz Pentium4
1024MB RAM
Maxtor 60GB Harddrive
Any clues, oh my esteemed colleagues?

Re: OT - Computer Issues (aka \"blue screen of deat
Turin,
Have you tried booting up in 'safe' mode? It's a long shot, but I've found that one cycle of properly booting and shutting down Windows can often fix nasty stuff.
As for the 'you must restart... blah blah' stuff... I prefer to do that myself... I think I'm more than capable to reboot a computer...

Re: OT - Computer Issues (aka \"blue screen of deat
I concur. Usually such cycles of rebooting produce good results for me too. I've rebooted the f@##er 20+ times today though and been in and out of safemode at least three.
Currently reading at CNET about an Me update called Kb89something that may be doing it. I'll post back if that pans out.
Thanks Mr. Duckie
Turin

Re: OT - Computer Issues (aka \"blue screen of deat
No. None of those. Well... MS-CFS-1, not the PacificTheater one.
Why? Think its a video card issue? I'm running a Matrox G550 Dualhead with a (can't see it thru the bluescreen) chipset.
Side note: That KB-thingy was on my computer; it's a security update for Me from January that a lot of folks are struggling with. The advice at CNET was uncheck it in Startup and run without it till Gates gets his head out of his @$$. Thought that fixed it, but installed my new Kaspersky Antivirus (highly touted, that) and got another 0028 error at manual reboot.
oop. ack.

OH. What chipset is the Motherboard? It's a SOYO with an Intel845 chipset.

Re: OT - Computer Issues (aka \"blue screen of deat
On a side note (sorry Turin!) what is a safe range for CPU and hard drive temperatures?

Re: OT - Computer Issues (aka \"blue screen of deat
I've had similar problems with 98 and the only way I could fix it was to reformat and reinstall.

Bite your tongue, young man.
I can't believe no one's got a way to decode these errors.

I've fixed some pretty fubared systems before, but I can't do it over a bulletin board or even IM chat program. Nothing beats being physically at the machine for debugging and such.
Sorry
