After few mins of work WinXP stops by BSoD. GPU: HD4870, driver Catalyst 8.12. Any suggestions what could I try to solve this problem? GPU works OK if MW stopped. Not sure what could be causing this as I have the same set up and am having no problems (Win XP, Catalyst 8.12 and an HD4870 graphics card). I run AQUA, Docking and Spinhenge (projects like Rosetta, Cosmology and a few others use too much memory and stop the card from working properly) on the CPUs with Milkyway on the GPU What else are you running at the same time as running Milkyway?

BOINC projects: MW + SETI and browse internet via IE. No other programs. Coiuld it be from not very powerful power supply? Ot htis would manifest itself in other way than BSoD ?

If you power supply was underpowered and you overdrew the wattage rating, your computer would probably just shut itself off. Have you tried searching around the web for the error code?

" 0xF4 - Termination of system-critical process or thread If a system-critical program or object stops running, you get this blue screen of death. This is almost certainly a pure software problem. For what it's worth, the first parameter can tell you if the object that was killed was a process (0x03) or a thread (0x06). This is another "die immediately if this happens" error. Check your system file integrity (sfc /scannow), or back up the things that are really important to you and start fresh. " So, something wrong wih Catalyst driver? All work OK when MW tasks not running... ID: 28916 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
