0x000000B8 Blue Screen
Hi, i recently installed Windows Vista 32-bit Home Premium. I've had it for
about two weeks now, And at least once a day I get a blue screen saying "A wait operation, attach process, or yield was attempted from a DPC routine." Blue screen code 0x000000B8. It seems to happen more often when installing something anywhere from a program, game, or even windows updates. I've updated all my drivers and still no luck. I built my PC myself Specs are below. P.S. Sorry if this isn't the right forum topic, from what I've heard this particular blue screen is caused by drivers. Windows Vista 32-bit Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6400+ 3.22 GHz Memory: OCZ Dual CHannel PC6400 DDR2 800MHz 2.00GB Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 8800GT 512MB DirectX 10 BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG Motherboard: ASUS M2N-SLI I hope this is enough info any help would be appreciated, thank you. |

0x000000B8 Blue Screen
Thanks for the tip, I currently have the latest Windows Vista service pack
and all the Windows Updates. All of my drivers are updated. I'm completely clueless. I've seen this error alot on Windows 2000 and very little on XP, but can't find any solutions for Vista at all. Is there a way to pinpoint which driver it could be? I tried using the "verifier" in Vista and I get a different blue screen, but it doesn't specify which driver it is. Just gives me a "0x000000cd" blue screen error instead. "R. C. White" wrote: Hi, Tony. Always the first Stop in researching Stop Codes: http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm About B8, it says this: paste 0x000000B8: ATTEMPTED_SWITCH_FROM_DPC These are generally hardware issues (which often means driver issues). The articles given below are provided more as examples of the types of situations that trigger this error, rather than concrete solutions. As a rule, be sure you have the latest Service Pack edition of your Windows operating system and are using the best device drivers and software versions. After that, do normal hardware troubleshooting for the device inplicated. /paste I don't have a solution for you, but this should get you started. Sounds like you have a very nice rig! ;) RC -- R. C.

Every BSOD creates a dmp file. We need at least the analyze part of the dmp file for further analysis. -- e01b48 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ e01b48's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/e01b48.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...es/1124990.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
