Updates error message

I tried to install the latest updates. I get error code # 0X643.

While playing a game on the computor, Window kicks me out and then I get a
blue screen with a msg which states that I may have to disable my BIOS
caching and shadowing. It also gives me error codes 0X00000008E (0XC00000005,
0X000000000, 0XF8CBB4AC, 0X00000000).
The bottom of the msg shows a number wich eventually reaches 100 and then my
computor shuts down and restarts on its own. Can you help me?

Check your memory for problems.. You can start with:

Thanks Shenan,
I ran the programs you gave me. They did not detect any errors.
Any other suggestions?

Does the blue screen identify the module which is crashing?
E.g. something similar to that 0xF8CBxxxx that is showing
in the third crash parameter? It could give you the name
of the driver which is doing this.

Did you recently install a new driver? If so, you could use Device Manager
to "roll back" the driver for the device you suspect is the problem.


Another way to see if there is a module loaded which includes that address
is to run (in a cmd window) pstat -s
pstat.exe is a tool included in the XP Support Tools.

Hmm... I just found a better way to get the same information,
using Process Explorer: set Lower Pane View: Dlls (Ctrl-d)
and click on Process: System. Then order the lower pane by Base.
(You may have to enable that column in the view.) Then just see if
you can find a starting address (Base) and size (Size) which would
include that address. It appears that drivers are loaded on page
boundaries, not full segment boundaries, so in your case you would be
looking for one which probably started at 0XF8CBB000 or 0xF8CBA000


OTOH you apparently could be getting that Stop code for an entirely
different reason: ; }
