I have been getting tons of BSODs after I installed the Omega ATI Driver. I thought I try it out after hearing good things. So I clean my old drivers with the ATI catalyst removal tool and installed it. After restarting after the install, I get a BSOD. Ever since, I have been getting them. I managed to uninstall it and install the regular drivers and I am getting it still!!!! I can't stand this, what do I do. Should I format windows? I am about to do that, seriously. I am writing this because I managed to boot into safe mode. . Here is the error I am getting in the BSOD

MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION


STOP: 0X0000009C, (0X00000004, 0X80545F10, 0XB2000000, 0X00070F0F

that one 0X80545F10, I think I may have copied it down wrong, it is kind of messy. It is either, F10 or FT0 or something like that. PLEASE HELP
 
Please Help. And Why Is This Under Video Cards??? I Reverted To Old System Yet It Is Still Happening, Please Move This Back To General Hardware, Thanks. Please Help......

God....This is really sucky when the help desk needs tech support....
 
Boot to safe mode (F8) and uninstall those omega drivers (better yet, run driver cleaner if possible), on normal restart install retail ati drivers and see if that fixes the problem

I did, but it didn't help. Could at all be a hardware problem? I just dont see how because it started after I installed the drivers.
 
Not at all. I ran driver cleaner on ATI. I guess that cleaned the catalyst drivers. But there was no option for the omega drivers...
 
A couple suggestions....

First, you could try doing a system restore in Safe Mode. I know alot of people don't have faith in System restore (and I'll even admit alot of times it doesn't do much) but there are some jams it has gotten me out of. Anyways, its something to try.

You can also try booting to the CD and running a repair on the OS. Again, doesn't always fix the problem but worth trying if your desperate enough without having to wipe the box.

Hope that helps. :)
 
SYMPTOMS
You may receive the following Stop error message:
STOP: 0x0000009C (0x00000004, 0x00000000, 0xb2000000, 0x00020151)
"MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION"
The four parameters inside the parentheses may vary.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because your computer processor detected and reported an unrecoverable hardware error to Windows XP. To do this, the processor used the Machine Check Exception (MCE) feature of Pentium processors or the Machine Check Architecture (MCA) feature of some Pentium Pro processors. The following factors may cause this error message: • System bus errors
• Memory errors that may include parity or Error Correction Code (ECC) problems
• Cache errors in the processor or hardware
• Translation Lookaside Buffers (TLB) errors in the processor
• Other CPU-vendor specific detected hardware problems
• Vendor-specific detected hardware problems

STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
A machine check exception occurs when Windows XP and your hardware platform cannot recover from a hardware error so that the system can continue to run successfully and reliably. More specific diagnosis of machine check exceptions is difficult, and there is no general solution. Contact your hardware manufacturer or a computer hardware technician for help with troubleshooting this issue.

Machine check exceptions are frequently caused by one of the following conditions: • You are running the processor or mainboard beyond its specifications. For example, you are overclocking the processor or bus. We recommend that you run your hardware at the manufacturer-rated speeds.
• Noisy power, overstressed power strips, outmatched power supplies and failing power supplies can destabilize your computer. Make sure that you have a stable, reliable power supply to your computer.
• Extreme thermal conditions caused by the failure of cooling devices such as fans may damage your computer. Make sure that your cooling devices are all working.
• You have damaged memory or memory that is not the correct type for your computer. If you recently changed the memory configuration, revert to the previous configuration to determine what is wrong. Make sure that you are using the correct memory for your computer.
 
Well...I just re-installed windows. Went smoothly. I wil see what happens...God, I was so pissed. And btw, I used system restore, didn't help. Actually it almost gave me a heart attack because I thought I lose the work I did on my english paper.
