STOP: 0x0D1 error (3rd time's a charm?)

C

Chris

We have a computer that is currently receiving the
infamous STOP: 0x000000D1 error whenever we attempt to
boot into Windows XP Home edition. This is of course
accompanied by DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. The full
error,
STOP: 0x000000D1 (<somewhat random address>, 0x00000002,
0x00000001, <somewhat random address>).

The 'somewhat random addresses' change with each
occurrance. We can boot into safemode, but every attempt
to boot into normal mode results in the above error. I
have checked the Event Log, and there are no events
listed that could pertain to this problem. In fact, the
only critical errors listed are those that correspond to
entering safe mode. I have run memtest,
which found no fault with the memory, and I have updated
all drivers I could find to their most recent versions.
I have also attempted the fix involving the virtual
memory manager (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?
scid=kb;en-us;810093), with no cure. This computer has
a Pentium 3 1.3 ghz processor, and 128 Mb of RDRAM. The
error does not specify any particular driver or file
name, nor give any other indication of what is causing
this problem. We have attempted all of the fixes
suggested off of http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.php#0xd1
as well, and every possibility listed either does not
solve this problem, or is not applicable to this
situation. That is, except for the possibility of the
hotfix regarding the apci and a bios with multiple
tables. Unfortunately, I do not know if that is the case
here or not. This computer's bios is:
Phoenix Bios Core Version 4.0, Release 6.0
Bios Revision 2.08 07/17/01 .
Unfortunately, browsing Phoenix' website has not provided
me with any enlightenment so far.

So, does nayone have any suggestions as to what next
steps may be taken at this point? Is there another way
without paying for Microsoft support to get a hold of
this hotfix, or at least verify if it is the solution or
not? Thanks...

Hi, Chris. Since you can successfully boot into Safe Mode and the errors
come thick and fast when you go into Regular Mode, try swapping out
your video card for a known-working one. Be sure to uninstall the one
you've got, switch over to vga mode, and then install the new card.
