Driver causes BSOD.

Er I don't know much about IRQ channels but you shouldn't have two devices on the same channel right?

I just noticed the network card I plugged in has the same ICQ as one of the two 'High Definition Audio Controller's in system devices in device manager.

Does that matter?

 

[Mousemonkey]

Yes, same problem, I managed to spend 10 mins a night powering off, rebooting, booting into safe mode then restarting with hdmi cable and sometimes I got it to work. Saying that I once got it to boot of dvi-2 as well. I haven't managed to boot with drivers installed since last rebuild.

I'm currently disabling onboard network adaptors to see if that shifts this NDProxy.sys /Vga.sys NTBTLOG error with no success.

So can I close the other thread then or do you want it merged with this one?

 

[reorx]

hmm under the IDE ATA / ATAPI controllers the nvidia nforce serial ata controller has exactly the same ICQ as the USB controllers standard openHCD USB host controller as well.

Close it please.

 

[reorx]

IDE ATA / ATAPI Controllers

My NFORCE Serial ATA controller = 22
A 2nd NFORCE Serial ATA controller = 23


usb cONTROLLERS
Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller = 22
Standard openHCD USB host controller = 23

0.O

Is it normal to have duplicate ICQ channels?

 

[Mousemonkey]

If they are the same device then yes, if you plug in an external HDD via USB then both of those devices would be used.

 

[reorx]

I didn't realise mboard sata should use same channel as the usb/pci stuff.

 

[reorx]

I think I'm just scraping the bottom of a barrel.

Alas I have done this before, those exact drivers are on this build.

 

[scout_03]

did you try the graphic card in the second pci-e slot and see if everything work also could be issue with the motherboard that could not support this card

 

[reorx]

I did try the card in the second slot even though it's x8 as far as I know but I got no signal output from it at all.

I should point out that I've suspected all along that there is an 'issue' with the board and this card, however I've lived under the assumption that since I could sometimes get it to boot, there must be some file to replace or edit or some voltage to tweak somewhere that will make it all sing and dance.

 

[reorx]

Maybe the real question should be what allows something not to work most of the time but restarts from safemode/turning it off/on allow it to boot 'sometimes' ?

 

[reorx]

Does anyone know what vga.sys actually does? without guessing?

Also can it not find NDProxy.sys because it's ndproxy.sys or woulf it not be case sensitive?

 

[scout_03]

the motherboard colud be giving power for a moment then when the card drain to much make the machine shut itself to protect the 6959 need a 75 watt socket check in your bios the power that the pci-e slot could support

 

[reorx]

I beg your pardon?

I need a 75 watt socket check in my bios? I'll need that explaining I'm afraid.

 

[reorx]

I've also noticed recently that sometimes it bluescreens, sometimes it just goes black, sometimes it goes black an sticks, sometimes it just freezes on the windows logo. Sometimes it reboots automatically, sometimes it doesn't.

Is that a power issue with the board ?


Also in device manager hidden none-plug and play devices has a yellow !
exclamation mark against

'Security Processor Loader Driver' (!)

Is that something like VCore offset voltage in my BIOS?

Which is set to auto atm or has an option for 100 mv 0.o

 

[scout_03]

v core is for the cpu leave it on auto,see page 2-31 from user manual and check in bios if pci-e is the first for primary display adapter also this is refering to graphic driver ('Security Processor Loader Driver) so remove all ati driver and reload new one on desktop then restart computer and install new one from desktop http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_vista64.aspx

Yes I always set it to PCI-E in the bios. As well as Plug & Play OS.


I'll try what you suggested lter tonight when I get home.


What confuses me slightly is I enable SLI in bios but when people ask me 'did you try the card in 2nd pci-e' slot? I did but it is never detected anywhere (nothing can see it) as a device and does literally nothing except spin its fan.

 

[reorx]

Actually, I'm not sure what you mean. Reload? If you mean uninstall and reinstall I've done that already, lots. Still I shall try once more.

 

[reorx]

No joy still.


If we stay on the suggestion it's a 'power issue' what do we mean? The board is senile and thinks the card is gobbling up too much. Is there something I can change to get around/test that theory?

 

[reorx]

Interesting!


Ok since thinking about 'power' I tried the following:


Turned computer on with no 12v connectors to card at all. = No sigh of life.

Turned computer on with 8 pin connector only. = No sign of life.

....Turned computer on with 6 pin connector only = Black Screen. No Image. BUT It booted happily into windows!!!

(I know because it didn't restart and the logon music played.



So, theories?


Is the PSU dying? (Though I did try with another power)

Is the board crap?

Is there a setting I can change?

 

[scout_03]

plug and play os do not need to be activate,since you already try the card in second and nothing work then the motherboard could not handle her ,suggest you this get your card and find a friend or someone that could test her in is mobo if they got signal from it then card is good if not card is out then rma.but if card is good then motherboard could not handle her

 

[reorx]

I have already tested it the card works 100%.

There is for certain nothing wrong with the card.

I have tested the card on another machine, it works. The card works.


Again I must state that I HAVE BOOTED IN THE PAST PERFECTLY and been playing
games etc for 3 days+ until I shut down the computer.

It is entirely possible for the board and card to work together, in harmony. I just don't know how.


Repeating latest development in case someone misses it:

....Turned computer on with 6 pin connector only = Black Screen. No Image. BUT It booted happily into windows!!!

(I know because it didn't restart and the logon music played).



So, theories?
