Hi all,
Okay, a couple of months ago my PC started having issues with an online game
called EVE where starting it up would result in the dreaded BSoD.
It seemed to be linked to the screen resolution I was running the game in -
1152x864 - as it would sometimes run on 1024x768 (though it would still crash
occasionally on this setting) - but it would always crash on the resolution I
liked to use once the problem started.
The problem only started manifesting itself after about a month from my
upgrading my PC and installing Windows (XP, SP2) and then EVE. I racked my
brain trying to find the problem and could only come up with a possible
driver conflict with my graphics card. I couldn't sort it out so decided on
the drastic measure of re-installing Windows.
This gave me the opportunity of using one of my 3 HDs for Windows only,
another for programs and the last for data. Everything, again, seemed to work
fine for about a month again until this morning when the BSoDs started again
- 8 in under an hour - so it's clear I haven't sorted the underlying issue
out.
Would anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem may be - I can post
the error codes if that would help but it stated:-
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7034
Date: 02/12/2007
Time: 16:35:46
User: N/A
Computer: SHAUNS
Description:
The ATK Keyboard Service service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this
1 time(s).
in the Application Event Viewer when I looked in Administrative Tools - as
I'm pulling my hair out over this?
If it helps, my setup is as follows:-
Abit IP35Pro MoBo
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.67GHz
2Gb DDR2 RAM
Asus 8800GTS graphics card
1x80Gb Samsung Spinpoint SATA HD (Windows installed here)
2x500Gb Samsung Spinpoint SATA HDs (EVE installed on one of these)
2x Samsung SATA DVD-RAMs (with lightscribe)
No sound card, using the onboard sound until I can afford a new sound card!
Windows XP, SP2
I have got myself Windows Vista on the way in another stab in the dark at
what the issue may be but have no idea if this will sort the issue out - or
make it worse.
Could it be that the fact that I am using onboard sound rather than a
dedicated decent sound card that is causing the issue?
I have also noticed that, once this issue starts showing itself that I have
issues with other video intensive software, ie, playing DVDs and video clips
in Real Player and Windows Media Player , causing the BSoD as well.
Any help that anyone can give on helping solve this issue will be very
gratefully received.
