Help Me Social Entrop-nobi

I have encountered a strange stop error, reguarding the following driver:

BRGSp50.sys

Googling gave me nothing, third time this has happened.

The computer is three years old, not one blue screen before this. The only thing I have installed recently is my WIFI Max dongle for my Wii. Hasn't happened before that, but before I go uninstalling all of that I want to see if I ghave any other options.

Running XP Pro (SP 2) auto update on and always running.

"Every time, the blue screen mentions a file, "BRGsp50.sys"... which looks strangely similar to a constantly running process on my computer, "W32BRG55.exe", which is a process running for my WiFi Max NDS/Wii WLAN dongle."

So yeah, it looks like its your WiFi thing

Go to microsoft.com and do a custom check for updates. Auto update doesn't download everything. Also check for new drivers for the wifi dongle, and run a chkdsk c: /f

Then check your event viewer System folder and post any related error or warning messages

Yup. A quick search of driver databases states that that driver is a Wi/Fi driver.

Try updating/reinstalling them.

Also, what exactly is the bluescreen? It references the file, but does it give you any stop codes?

Unhandled exception.

Reinstall drivers, preferably the most updated ones.

Just downloaded them. When my intial googling turned up nothing on that particular driver I was concerned, came here.

because of the awesome

I use Linux so I have nothing to add here other than the faint whiff of cheesits and poor personal hygiene.

i really want someone to give me like $16 grand so I can max out a Mac Pro

i'm talking 3TB of hard drive space, 16GB of RAM, and two 30" displays

holy fuck it'd be awesome

and so completely expensive

I could do 8gig in my machine and probably 3 or more TB of HDD since I have 6 SATA controllers. It would cost a grand for the RAM alone though.

Weaver

with $16 I could build you like 3 or 4 PCs to that spec

yeah but can they run MAC OS TEN?

FortyTwo

I went in search of updated drivers, turns out I had the most recent ones.

but a reinstall and we shall see if it runs.

thank you all so much, this is now about Transformers.



I want the movie to be so good, but the lack of proper hair band soundtrack makes me sad.

I'd go with the mac.

Weaver

It would cost about $1200 to put 8GB in my PC

damn ECC ram

That's about what I got for 8gig of PC6400.

What kind of ECC mem do you use, Weav?

I may have some laying around.

Right now I've got 4 sticks of Kingston Hyper-X PC3200 Reg ECC

It's an Asus SK8N

I built it when the first 64-bit Athlons came out I know it is near the end of it's life.

That board is only supposed to support up to PC2700. Are you bottlenecking there?

Weaver

I beleive it supports from 266 to 400 depending on what processor you have in it

redimpulse

Well I know I've got surplus PC3200 non ECC, but I don't know about ECC.

I have about 15 boxes of various RAM sticks, I'm sure I could find something I'm never going to use.

Weaver

It's cool, 2GB is way fine for anything I'm doing now, I've already got a x1600 in there but since this board doesn't have PCI express and it's slot 940 I'm not going to upgrade it anymore. I'm either going to cannabilise the raid and sound card over to a new machine or just build a whole new SLI based DX10 rig later in the year.

Probably your best bet; prices on those components are projected to drop over the next quarter by about 5-15%, depending on the manufacturer. Don't quote me on that, though. Supply and distribution can be a bitch when it comes to nailing down pricing.
