BSOD playing XCOM2 Error STOP: 0x00000124

You can try to borrow a compressed air can, the dust needs to be gone before any damage occurs, you know how to use a can of compressed air?

 

[BorisTheAnimal]

Or you can also try to remove the dust with a paintbrush and have a vacuum cleaner nearby.

 

[John993]

I managed to get some dust out with the vacuum cleaner.

With what should i proceed next?

Kind regards,
John

Well I guess the USB stick for updating the BIOS and really money shouldn't be an issue, you should be able to get your hands on one that is like ~5 euros.

 

[axe0]

My experience with USB's of ~5 euro is they aren't bootable, you'll have to pay some more money for one that is actually bootable and reasonable.

I know but I had to recommend as he said that he didn't have money like Uncle Scrooge.

There's a saying in Swedish: "Man tager vad man haver" and it basically translates to "You take what you have" and go with it..

My suggestion would be to see if family or friend can borrow a bootable USB

Or this:

USB cheap

 

[John993]

Nooo dammit.. i thought it worked this time..

I managed to find a painters brush and remove around 70% of all the dust in the pc.
So i thought lets give it a go. it went well! i was around 10 minutes into the tutorial and BAM bluescreen again..

Ill buy a can of compressed air and a usb stick aswell

 

[John993]

Can't i do the DOS bios update? instead of the windows and instant flash ones.

Kind regards,
John

Sure if you can get it to work, so far what I've gathered you haven't said anything about making anything work

 

[John993]

If i can get it to work.. uh oh.. must be hard then?
Ill try the dos variant now, could you guide me through it?

 

[John993]

""»Updating BIOS Procedures
Create a bootable system (USB pen drive).""

Does that mean i still need a usb device?

Yes, did a fast search and most entries pointed to that you need to perform the DOS with a USB stick!

 

[John993]

finally! my package has arrived, got the can of compressed air and the USB stick as per your advise.

How should i proceed?


kind regards,
John

 

[John993]

Great. After having used the compressed can to get all of the dust out, i thought lets give it a try.
two minutes into the tutorial bsod again.. BUT, this time it was a STOP: 0x000007E (0xFFFFFFFFFFC000005, 0xFFFFFF80032AEF42, 0xFFFFF880009A9868, xFFFFFF880009A0C0) I don't get it, what is happening with my pc 0.0


Kind regards,
John

 

[John993]

here is the crash dump file

 

[BorisTheAnimal]

Sorry John but there is nothing in the zip about this latest crash of yours and without some more information like if you happen to see what xxx.sys file that made the computer crash then we won't be able to help you that much.

 

[John993]

How can i show you the latest crash file? i thought it worked with the file i uploaded.. why doesn't it show the error?
and what does the 0x000007E mean?

Kind regards,
John

 

[BorisTheAnimal]

No not like show me a picture but if you were to remember seeing something like SOME_TEXT_IN_CAPS + modulename.sys when the BSOD happened.

These are the dumps that you uploaded and as you can see there is none from the third.
