Stop 0x0000008e with 0x00000000 as address

Hi all!

I'm having problems with a windows stop error:
Stop: 0x0000008e (0xC0000005, 0x00000000, 0xB1DCE8F4, 0x00000000)

What I've found out so far:
0x0000008E: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
parameters:
0xC0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates that a memory access violation occurred.
0x00000000: The address where the exception occurred
0xB1DCE8F4: The trap frame
0x00000000: Reserved

I'm especially confused because the address where the exception occured is said to be 0x00000000.

The error happens every time the computer gets too busy, i.e. when I try to burn big images, play computer games, download lots of stuff at the same time...

I've read a few times that faulty RAM could cause this problem, but memcheck said everything's fine, and I only have one RAM so I can't take them out alternatively and see which one causes the problems, as some sites suggest.

One more thing I've read about is Rustock Rootkit. Might that be the problem?

Thanks for your help,
Shir Khan

 

Wow... It's refreshing to sign up for a board, ask a question, and not immediately be flamed by other members. Glad to be here.

I've now tried a brand-new RAM stick in the other slot, and still have the same problem. (At least it's quite repeatable.) Either it's not a hardware problem, or my mainboard is seriously f***ed up. (Excuse my French.)

For the dump see below. Although not understanding a lot about it, there's one strange thing I noticed: I had set the mode to "small dump (64KB)" for a long time. Those minidumps created more than 4 months ago all really have 64KB; the newer ones have 88KB, though.

Thanks for your help!

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 00000000, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: b1264414, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000

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

 

They used to for quite some time. I now installed Service Pack 3, and now I get those shown below instead. (Not quite as freqently, though.) It's somewhat mysterious.

Nope, haven't seen this one yet. I found this, though:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930916/en-us
(Didn't really help either.)

Jep, I think I tried every possible combination. It's neither the RAM nor one single slot. If it's a hardware issue, it's somewhere directly in the main board. To me the exception seems almost too repeatable for being a hardware problem, actually.

I had it set to a fixed size of 1536MB all the time. Might try working entirely without one, though. It's not as if I was running really big programs that need it...

Ahh well, maybe I should just do format c: and reinstall windows. It's been a long time since I last did that...

Thanks for your help!

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 760c7d3b, memory referenced
Arg2: 00000002, IRQL
Arg3: 00000000, bitfield :
bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
Arg4: 804eb54b, address which referenced memory

Hi Shir

Did you format or is this issue still there?

If it is still there get back and I will post some proceedures to either fix or refine it.

Mike

 

Hi Pete

Yeah I just didn't need to waste the time (I've already been buried for about the last 2 weeks) so I will post if he still has the issue.

The memory issue can be caused by heat. He said it only happened when he was cranked up runinng multiple programs.

I have watched some temps that were stable and normal climb like a cat going up a tree with a dog chasing it, when a game or CD burer or multiple programs start!

Mike

 

Hey all and thanks for your help!

I've been toying around with the windows driver verifier (verifier.exe in c:\windows\system32\) for some time now and caught cmuda.sys red-handed, obviously trying to access things with a higher IRQL. (0x000000D1)

I for now just removed it (renamed it, actually, so it won't be loaded at startup), and so far things are fine. Having a hard time finding the latest version of it, though. The one I've been using is from 2002. And there are lots of homepages around trying to get money from "selling" cmuda.sys.

Anyway, I'll let you know if it crashes again. Thanks!

kR Shir Khan

 

Good job Shir

Using Pete's link you perhaps should uninstall it and go back fresh!

Mike

 

I've been trying for a week now, and by and large, things are working well.

Thanks , and thanks again for your help!

... and it's "she ", actually.

kR Shir Khan

 

You are most welcome!

Sorry!

Mike

 

You can use SC (cmd line tool) to disable the driver so Windows doesn't try to start it.
