BSOD errors on an Nvidia 9400GT 1GB.
Basic
Registered User regular
Registered User regular
Every time I start up a game, it runs fine until about ten minutes afterwards where I suddenly get a blue screen of death.
I don't know what is causing this, but I think it's the graphics card. I bought it as a sort of place holder for my 8800GTS because I started getting weird red scan lines and fatal crashes. I hear the 9400GT isn't considered a real gaming card and that has me thinking that it might be the graphics card. I don't quite know.
If anyone can tell me what's wrong or can confirm my suspicions it would be a great help.

The other thing to check your power source rating. How many Watts is it? Do you have multiple harddrives? Are you running SLI?
My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Startup and Recovery Settings -> System Failure Uncheck Automatically Restart (it'll leave it on the BSOD until you reset)
The free downloadable program Whocrashed will also provide information. Just make sure you run it as an administrator.
Well I have a 700 Watt power supply and the card requires only 300 watts, and I do have 2 hard drives, and I don't know if I am running SLI, how would I know?
Okay I will try right now.
This sounds either your card overheating, or a faulty card that's really sensitive to temperature increases.
That's what the box says.
A PROBLEM HAS BEEN DETECTED....
A WAIT OPERATION, ATACH PROCESS OR YIELD WAS ATTEMPTED FROM A DPC ROUTINE.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
STOP: 0x000000B8 (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
That's all that seemed important.
SLI is when you're running 2 videocards in parallel as one.
Google tells me that your error is a driver related error. Try installing the newest drivers.
After looking online for a while I found about Verifier (verifies drives) and decided to verify all unsigned drivers.
I get two unsigned drivers: aegisp.sys and hdaubus.sys.
I go into device manager and look for the device that relies on aegisp.sys because everytime I let verifier finish and then restart it blue screens with a 0x000000D1 error. I find it, and disable it, and then try going through verifier again and restarting. No blue screen, okay fantastic.
So I try to play counter-strike to see if this was the right solution; turns out it isn't. I still get a 0x000000B8 blue screen.
Now I've tried going to the ASUS website to download new drivers again, but I don't understand what I am supposed to download. The site is cluttered and when I do find M2N32-SLI (the name/model number of my motherboard) I don't know which one to download because there are so many different drivers. I've already updated the drivers for my graphics card.
As for that mysterious hdaudbus.sys driver, the description in verifier reads: high Definition Audio Bus Driver v1.0a
What do I do?
go here
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
leave it on geforce.
put it on 9 series
select your operating system.
click download.
RESTART AFTER U INSTALL.
Did not work.
did it install all the way?
But I still get that 0xB8 BSOD.
It says something about AegisP.sys
AegisP is a driver for your wireless connection.
try disabling your wireless connection or reinstalling the software for it.
if that doesn't work, get a new graphics card.
I had an 8800 GTS 640MB before this, and red scan lines and similar blue screens plagued it.
So I reformatted but I still got red scan lines. So I got a new video card, the 9400GT, for cheap (but it was brand new, I knew someone who got it in a giveaway and was just trying to get rid of it), so I installed the new card and it's drivers after reformatting a second time. Same problem, except now I get to play 10 or 20 minutes before it blue screens. Reformatted a third time and now I am where I am now.
I've downloaded all the drivers I could each time, and the card is still very new. Maybe it's not the graphics card?
