The bootvis link in Grandad's third link is very useful, as is my link in Grandad's 2nd Link for tracking down specific problems.

We need more information about your motherboard to help you narrow things down.

What kind of machine is that? it is probably the power switch. Also, the BIOS could be misconfigured. I would suggest to get into the BIOS and load default settings. Another common cause is the modem. Pull it out and see what happens

I have a Asus A7n8x Delux, AMD XP 2400, Nvidia G Force FX 5200 128 ddr, A cool master pro case(think that is what it is called), A Maxtor 80 GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache, Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer, and 768 MB ddr Kingstons , I hope this helps if you need any more info just ask me.

(I turned off that auto restart thing in propertys now I get a blue error screen when it shuts down.)

Great!

What does the blue screen say? The error message tells you what the problem is... post the full message here please!

(And thank you for all you help)

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to you computer.

If this is the first time you’ve seen this stop error screen, restart you computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacture for driver updates, try changing video adapters.

Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates Disable BIOS memory options such as shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart you computer, press F8 to select advanced start up options, and then select safe mode.

Technical information:

*** Stop: 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, OXF7943DAB, 0XF79666B4)

*** nv_agp.sys – Address F7943DAB base at F7943000, Date Stamp 3d7903e1

Part or all of problem is nVida drivers or card .
I know some will look in to error code for you , I'll look some myself .

Are you using a PCI graphics card?

[Stalemate]

Because if you are...

Reinstalling the latest nForce2 drivers will not help resolve this AGP Bus Filter driver problem.

But.. rolling back from nv_agp.sys to the default MS driver might.


Here are the steps:

Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> System devices -> NVIDIA nForce2 AGP Host to PCI Bridge -> Properties (right-click) -> Driver -> Driver Details (here you should see 2 drivers; nv_agp.SYS and pci.sys).

To rollback to the WinXP default driver, clilck OK to close the driver details window, then click Roll Back Driver from the Properties/Driver window. Windows will ask you for confirmation and then it should switch to the pci.sys.

I've seen the same problem mentioned in a A7N8X discussion forum elsewhere.


Also, you might want to get the latest BIOS for your board. ;)

Are you using a PCI graphics card?

Yes I am

[NooNoo]

Did adepts fix work for you Reese?

[Stalemate]

The anticipation is killing me. :p

[Reese]

What was I suppost to do?, If I swap back to basic win XP drivers will my graphics still be as good?

[NooNoo]

Not much point in having good graphics if it only displays a blue screen....

Adept gave you instructions to roll back the driver to see if that is indeed the cause of the problem. Worrying about your fps and graphics quality is something that can be done when the root cause of the problem has been defined.

I can use my computer normally I only get the error when i shut down my computer.

[NooNoo]

you do realise you can install the driver again after you rolled it back?

It is very hard to troubleshoot without seeing your system and without your co operation.

aight man sorry about that I am going back to the default windows drivers now.

[Reese]

I tried, I went to roll back to default drivers and it said that they have not been backed up. Should I download them some where?

[Ya_know]

I think you need to provide some more detail. Like what is the problem you are experiencing that makes you feel the need to roll back, and what device is giving you the problem?

The short answer is probably yes...downloading a more current driver may correct your problem, whatever that may be...

[Stalemate]

Let us know if it solves your problem. ;)

[NooNoo]

I have merged the threads, reese you hit new thread instead of reply....

[NooNoo]

So what drivers did you install for your gforce card?

[Ya_know]

I have merged the threads, reese you hit new thread instead of reply....

Oh, I thought that was a new thread, didn't even dawn on me that it was a reply misplaced. Oh well, chalk that one up for WOTPP...

I thought that you told me to roll back to the original drivers? To see if that would fix it. What do ya mean what my problem may me? I have a blue screen error that pops up when I shut down my computer. I posted what the error said somewhere not sure if ya need it again just ask me, thanks for all you help hope ya aren’t getting annoyed at my ignorance I am just little confuse what to do.

[Reese]

So what drivers did you install for your gforce card?

NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 I just got them off the web site for NVIDIA, I followed what it said and I guess all xp/2000 drivers are the same for the FX cards

[NooNoo]

OK, and did you roll back... you must remember that ya_know was answering out of context without the benefit of your other posts.

Please roll back and test whether you get the blue screen or not.

Yeah man, just disregard what I said...I was replying to the thread you started for a reply by mistake. Stick with NooNoo on this one.

I did what ya said, it seems to be all fixed Thanks so much for all you time and help.

[NooNoo]

Nvidia have just released a new whql (ms approved) driver... you could try updating with that.

[floorjack]

The anticipation is killing me. :p

Adept's solution worked great for me! This problem had been plaguing me for a year. Thank you so much for your help and concern.

[lamia]

Hey Adept - I had the exact same problem re: nv_agp.SYS

Thanks for the roll back driver info - I'm fixed.
