Hi back,

I am not sure I understand: "you got the stop error number when the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) appeared did you?".

Please kindly rephrase the above sentence.

PS. The BSOD name I hear for the 1st time, and it really conveys my emotions when I see the screen!

Cheers

No problems kilo

'Blue Screen of Death' is just a name that has been around since windows 1...it happens when there's a hardware conflict, or hardware fault and it gives you a series of a alphanumeric code which is called a 'stop code'
they generally look like this 0x0000000 with different numbers.

Each stop code has a specific meaning and can help identify almost exactly what's wrong with your computer.

well thanks,
I am sure I saw such a code number, I ignored it since I cannot get what they mean. WOuld you be able to make out what this means if it appears again? Maybe I could check it in a log file stored somewhere by the system. Where could I find such a *.log file?

I certainly would be able to make out what it means

A log file is only created if your computer is told to create the file...

C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP

well, 'unfortunately' this time the OS loaded perfectly well - meaning no BSoD - so i cannot figure out what the reoccuring problem might be. And no file saved! Anyway, I cannot test my video card on another system - what else can I do to sort out the problem with the screen not displaying anything before XP is loaded?

Perhaps try your chipset drivers?

Can you please tell me what motherboard you have?

hi again,
thanks for your persistent trying,
my motherboard:
Soltek SL-86SPE [socket 478], Intel SPringdale-PE Series

Looking forward to hearing from you.
