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.

Thank you!

Blue Screen, Win2K, Older H/W

Asked by rawray in Windows 2000 Operating System

Tags: kmode_exception_not_handled

Hi-
At my school, I received a relatively old Dell computer (probably
more than 2 years old: BIOS rev A05 precision workstation 410 MT, 450 MHz PII, CPU ID: 652, level 2 cache: 512 KB, mem: 128 MB ECC SDRAM) w/NT 4 installed on it.  I want Win2K on it so without changing any H/W, I installed win2k and everything seemed to work ok (except the network connection -- any pointers on how to get that up for ethernet?).  Then, being lazy, I installed multiple programs before rebooting and upon rebooting, I got the big blue screen of death that read:
*** STOP: 0x0000001E (0xC0000005,0x8041F228,0x00000000,0x00000030)
                   KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

*** Address 8041F228 base at 8040000, DateStamp 384d9b17 - ntoskrnl.exe

In my win2k getting started manual p.89, it states the general cause but what is the specific cause of this stop error?  And out of the all the options they give what is the best course of action? I was able to enter safe mode, but I don't know what drivers to mess around with.  

Is it okay that i installed many programs at once (all of them asking to
reboot) only rebooting after i had already installed them all?  if it's not okay (ie. do i need to reboot separately for each program installed?), could this be a candidate for the error?

Maybe some of h/w may be incompatible w/win2k, so could that be it?

Other possibly relevant data: Bios Ver 202L4A02, Adaptec AIC-7880 SCSI BIOS DELL-V2.01.05)

Thanks so much!
