Hi. My computer has been upgraded from XP to W8 (NOT 8.1) and I'm having crashes. Luckily I've been able to recover from them, but not without some fiddling. I hate the fact that I can't get into safe mode unless I am already in the operating system - drives me nuts! Anyways, My latest crash is
0x0~8e (0xc0~5, 0xa7653e27, 0xd7c1314c, 0x0~0)
I had originally been dealing with crashes which MS had supposedly temporarily fixed - logging into my computer and trying all kinds of drivers for my nVidia GeForce 7300LE card. Seems nVidia had not yet made a W8 driver (although they are required to by contract), and so MS did something to tide me over until this new driver is released.
In the meantime, I had to reinstall the OS (due to a partitioning error on my part). Now I am having these BSODs. I am thinking this is a video problem again - can you confirm that based on the codes?
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000008e (0xc0000005, 0xa7653e27, 0xd7c1314c, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 031214-77548-01.
I am at a loss of what to do - I can't seem to find a good driver on the nVidia site. The one I am using is dated 6/11/2012 v 9.18.13.280. I originally was using v 9.18.13.286, but I was getting BSODs, and so I switched to 9.18.13.280.
If you think it is necessary to get a new video card, I'll need some help with that - I don't know where to start. Thanks much.
Update - I went to the nVidia site again, and this time I found an update for my card that is supposed to be W7 + W8 certified. Just installed it and we'll see if the BSODs go away.
