Well, a fatal exception 0E error is bad memory. Usually this error is caused by two or more pieces of information trying to share the same memory location. Since this is a persistent problem, you may need to check the CMOS for exceptions and verify your device drivers. If everything checks out, try changing out the RAM banks and see if you have a bad stick of memory. Hope this helps.

It says "fatal exception OE has occurred at 015F:BFF72830". After I hit the enter key sometimes it continues to bootup and sometimes it just hangs at the startup screen. My computer has been working without any problems until then. I have not added any new hardware or software what so ever. Any idea what could be causing this problem and/or a possible solution. My system is as follows: p3 450mHZ p2bF mobo 128 Megs ram Diamond Vipper 770 20.5 WD 7200 HD 19" Optquest V95 monitor 50X CD Rom HP 8200i CD Rom Burner TIA Andy Do you want to signoff PCBUILD or just change to Digest mode - visit our web site: http://nospin.com/pc/pcbuild.html >> Curious about the people moderating your messages?
