The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

TRAP 00000006 EXCEPTION on boot

Asked by reubenhelms in General Computer Systems

Tags: trap, 00000006, exception

I have a Gigabyte mobo (GA-7DXR).  Having recently experienced the machine shutting down with no warnings, and noticing some errors in the application log (for acpi), I figured I needed a BIOS upgrade.  Had F8b on the machine, and F10 was the latest.

After upgrading the BIOS, has lots of troubles.  Machine would shutdown after 10minutes and sometimes would not even reboot at all (but would after several attempts, and sometimes 10 minutes with the power off).

Now i'm at a stage where i'm getting the TRAP 00000006 EXCEPTION black screen of death.  If have more detail from the dump if anyones needs it.  I've also received a TRAP 0000000D GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT.  I've got the detail for that as well.

Anyway, the BIOS has reverted back to F6.  This must have been on the backup flash rom.

I've been trying to reload the F10 BIOS, but the machine cant seem to stay up long enough for the floppy to boot.

I'm also trying to follow similar help that says the NTDLR might be corrupt, and I should so a system recovery (oh, I have XP SP1, btw).  I've only managed to get the CD to boot once, but when I went into recovery mode it asked for the Administraor password.  Well, I never set one, but it didnt seem to like that and eventually made me reboot after 3 retries.  If I even manage to get into it in safe mode, i'll set one.

Most other times, I get the TRAP error when trying to boot from the CD, so I suspect that its maybe not much to do with the harddrive, and more to do with a fried motherboard.

Anyway, if I could get some expert opinions to confirm that its probably the harddrive, and not, say, the CPU or something like that, that would be great.  Any other tips would be good as well.

I'm already trying to find a compatible motherboard to go with the CPU and memory.  It would be a nice chance to upgrade the motherboard to get some USB2 action happening.
