I am vinay, my system has stopped in between without displaying any message and suddenly a blue screen has appeared. The blue screen displayed a message as below: "A prblem has beem detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. A problem seems to be caused by the following file: If this is the first time you have seen the stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears follow these steps: Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows update you might need. If problem continues disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer press F8 to select advanced start up options and then select safe mode. Technical information: ***STOP:0x40000080(0x841E54F0,0X84040C10,0X841A547C,0X000000002) Beginning dump of physical memory physical memory dump complete contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance." This is the information that is given in the blue screen exactly. This is the third time i experiened this problem. The first time i reinstalled my OS[windowx xp]. After reinstlling the software also i was encountered with the same problem. Please guide me how can i completely solve this problem. waiting for your reply. Thank you vinay

Have you made any hardware changes recently? Often times the error message and BSOD you are experiencing are due to problems with incompatible or corrupted hardware drivers. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

Unsure why you have posted TWICE and did not know which one you wanted answering so as in this one you included more information, see: http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/help... It is a hardware error,. By the way re-installing XP is not a good way to solve hardware problems!

"This is the third time i experiened this problem. The first time i reinstalled my OS[windowx xp]." In that case it must be caused by a hardware error, if you had not loaded software other than that Setup installed at that point, or that plus Microsoft Updates or other standard stuff you typically need to install or update when you re-load Windows. Had you just installed - some hardware, including ram memory ? Did it happen after the computer had been moved? Were you getting the error before you re-loaded Windows? The STOP:0x40000080 error can be caused by many things, but when it's caused by a hardware problem, you can try any of the same things as for the STOP:0x00000080 error, which there is much more info about. Generic stuff: ATX motherboards are always powered in some places even when the computer is not running as long as live AC is being supplied to the computer ATX power supply, the power supply is switched on (if it has a switch) , and the power suppply is connected to the motherboard. Whenever you change any connection or plug in or unplug any card, ram module, or other component inside the computer case, you must disconnect or switch off the AC power to the computer power supply. If you didn't do that, or don't do that, you can easily damage something. Open up your computer case and make sure all connections are properly plugged in all the way, and all cards and ram are all the way down in their slots. If you changed the ram that was in the computer just before you first got this error, one or more ram modules may not be compatible with your mboard. If you still have the original ram module(s), change them back to the way they were before and see if your problem goes away. In any case, if you did change which ram you have installed, see the info after BELOW at the end of this post. If you had unplugged or plugged in the ram module(s) just before you first got this error, or if this problem occured after the computer was physically moved, or in any case..... A common thing that can happen with ram, even ram that worked fine previously, is the ram has, or has developed, a poor connection in it's slot(s). This usually happens a long time after the ram was installed, but it can happen with new ram, or after moving the computer case from one place to another, and I've had even new modules that needed to have their contacts cleaned. See response 2 in this - try cleaning the contacts on the ram modules, and making sure the modules are properly seated: http://www.computing.net/hardware/w... For a laptop, you must remove both its main battery and AC adapter before you do that. If you do a ram test, do that AFTER having tried cleaning the contacts and making sure the ram is seated properly - otherwise any errors found may be FALSE. If the ram is incompatible with the chipset, it will likely FAIL a ram test - that is NOT a true indication of the ram being faulty - there is probably nothing wrong with it, and it will pass the test if installed in a mboard it is compatible with. If you want to try a memory diagnostic utility that takes a lot less time to run a full pass than memtest86 does, this one is pretty good - Microsoft's Windows Memory Diagnostic: http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag... It can be toggled to do a standard or a more comprehensive set of tests - use the default 6 test one first - if it passes one pass of that, use the latter one. A few of the tests in the latter set are intentionally slower. According to my experience, if the problem is caused by one or more ram modules being incompatible, if the ram works at all, and if the total amount of ram found is correct, it will pass some but not all of the tests in the 6 test set. ...... BELOW Ram that works in another mboard , or any ram you buy or have lying around, may not work properly, or sometimes, not at all - even if it physically fits and is the right overall type (e.g. SDram, DDR, DDR2, etc.; PCxxxx, xxx mhz) for your mboard. In the worst cases of incompatibilty your mboard WILL NOT BOOT with it installed, and the mboard may not even beep - the ram has to be compatible with the mboard and it's chipset. See response 5 in this for some info about ram compatibilty, and some places where you can find out what will work in your mboard for sure: http://www.computing.net/hardware/w... Correction to that: Mushkin www.mushkin.com Once you know which module ID strings work in your mboard, you can get them from anywhere you like that has ram with those ID strings. If you have brand name ram, it is usually easy to look up whether it's ID string is in a list of compatible modules found by using your mboard or brandname system model number. If the ram is generic, that may be difficult or impossible.
