Microsoft Windows 2000/NT/2003: Device driver? What is it?

210| Fri, 29 Feb 2008 21:14:00 GMT| sexywrxchick| Comments (14)
Hey guys if you look at my old post I have the same problem as before, but it isnt a video problem, at least I dont think so, this happens when I watch videos, or do anything that has to do with videos such as windows movie maker or use media player, anyways, I keep getting this page http://oca.microsoft.com/en/response...&SID=10....My question is, how do I find out which device driver is causing the error so I will stop getting to msny unexpected restarts/freezes?

Thanks,
April

It says.....The device, \Device\Harddisk1\D, has a bad block.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

What was the result of running chkdsk that Rog reccomended? . .

simpswr | Sat, 01 Mar 2008 01:50:00 GMT |

Just did, it checked 3 diff things in the dos box I believe thats what it was, anyways it did its thing didnt pop up any errors and disappeared by itself

Dont know if you guys can see this or not, but I went to this site, http://driveragent.com/driveragent_r...43f5&n=1730028 .......
Its said I have a bad driver for:
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
VIA Bus Master IDE Controller
PS/2 Compatible Mouse
Realtek AC'97 Audio for VIA (R) Audio Controller
Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller

How can I fix these?

I don't know if you can trust that site or not, but you can go to your pc manufacturers website to download chipset, and sound drivers . . go to nVidia site to download the video driver.

simpswr | Sat, 01 Mar 2008 01:53:00 GMT |

Dang it's amazing you can even boot up with all those wrong drivers

Don't believe em'

Did you run chkdsk /f

?

Also download and run the error scan on HD Tune:

http://www.hdtune.com/

Open the Device Manager and expand the entry for IDE ATA/Atapi.

Any errors there, does each IDE status say "working properly"? If you select the Advanced tab on each IDE, is the "current transfer mode" ULTRA DMA ?

rollinrog | Sat, 01 Mar 2008 01:54:00 GMT |

Yes in the device mamager everything is working properly except that ieee 1394 o whatever it is, its my firewire though, but it isnt even hooked up...chkdsk came back fine rog

sexywrxchick | Sat, 01 Mar 2008 01:55:00 GMT |

Its doing it even worse today, still havent figured it out, is there an accurate program that scans all of your drivers, I am just going ot NVIDIA and getting the general driver for the Geforce but I have the 5200 I think, is the general one correct?

sexywrxchick | Sat, 01 Mar 2008 01:56:00 GMT |

This is what I would be getting, but then I'm an ATI person:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_84.21.html

Do you have more than one physical disk drive, or do you have one drive with multiple partitions?

Did you run HD Tune on all drives and did it report any bad blocks in the error scan?

Also would you do this:

1 > create a new folder on the desktop and call it "dumpcheck" or whatever you like
2 > navigate to c:\windows\minidump and copy the last 2 or 3 minidump files to that folder. They are numbered by date.
3 > close the folder and right click on it and select "Compress to (folder name).zip"
4 > use the "manage attachments" in the "advanced" reply window to upload that zip file here as an attachment.

This might point us to a 3rd party driver causing the error, if one exists for it.

rollinrog | Sat, 01 Mar 2008 01:57:00 GMT |

There was only one file in minidump, here it is.....And I ran that HD thing I had to stop because the error scan said the system dard drive temperature was critical it was 55 degrees, hwat does that mean?

PFN_LIST_CORRUPT (4e)
Typically caused by drivers passing bad memory descriptor lists (ie: calling
MmUnlockPages twice with the same list, etc). If a kernel debugger is
available get the stack trace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000099, A PTE or PFN is corrupt
Arg2: 00017409, page frame number
Arg3: 00000000, current page state
Arg4: 00000000, 0

======================================================

I've only seen this error a few times, and faulty ram is the primary suspect. As I recall you've already tested and replaced that.

You may have a problem with the drive running hot or the cpu overheating. Have you checked for overheating?

You can use Speed Fan for that:

http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

The problem with the disk drive running hot should not prevent you from completing the error scan -- however it is an indication that the drive may be going bad.

rollinrog | Sat, 01 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT |

Ok downloaded speedfan and running it, dont know what I am lookig at though, temp is around 29-31

sexywrxchick | Sat, 01 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT |

Temperature is cool. Is that for the hard drive or the cpu/case temp? It's not consistent with HD Tune.

With Speed Fan select the S.M.A.R.T tab; using the drop arrow, select your hard drive. Then click the online analysis tab and see what it reports for drive fitness.
