BSOD Problem
 

I decided to install the WON version of Half-Life (the CD version, not steam) and for some reason it will either come up with an XP error saying it's crashed, or even worse bring up the BSOD. I was able to get the information about it, and I think it's a video problem.

** AFS2K.SYS - Address F85C5EC6 base at F85C5000 datestamp 3c7ac329

I got my video drivers up-to-date, and my card is a Pine 3D Phantom XP-3800 SiS 315E 64MB DDR 4X AGP.

Any ideas? :(

Re: BSOD Problem
 

Could it be CD burner software or drivers?

Re: BSOD Problem
 

Hmm I'm not sure, the BSOD said try switching video adapters, which I can't because I only have the one card.

I have a Lite-On 52x32x52x CD-RW & 16x DVD-ROM Combo drive.

http://www.windowsxp-drivers.com/drivers/88/88115.htm is why I askewd about the cdrom burner drivers
Have you got any burner software installed that can be removed to see if its interfering with the installation of the game?

Re: BSOD Problem
 

The game is installed, sorry I forgot to put that. It's when I'm IN the game, and I either go back to the menu then back into the game or close the game, then restart it this happens.

Sorry again for not saying that :( :(

Kick me if you want :(

Re: BSOD Problem
 

We've got to make the "kick me" sign first, then attach it to your back. :D

That error is referring to the LiteOn drivers.

Re: BSOD Problem
 

I had best look to see if there are an update version then :erm:

Re: BSOD Problem
 

And the drivers page on the LiteOn website doesn't work for me.

http://www.liteon.com/prod/getDriver...d=36&cid=1_7_4 any good to you?

Re: BSOD Problem
 

It worked, but I can't find a link to download them :erm:

Re: BSOD Problem
 

All it says is Microsoft Default Driver, if so then Microsoft need to bring an update out.

There's a firmware update for it though, so I'm going to try it.

Re: BSOD Problem
 

That will teach me to not look into the link :(
how about http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/21...2KX-COMBO.html

Re: BSOD Problem
 

That's an older fireware update than my drive already had :erm:

Gonna see if it gives me the BSOD with this new firmware update (Yes, it was old on my drive)

Re: BSOD Problem
 

OK, the BSOD doesn't show any more, but I still get Windows's crash error, but it says it's sisgl.dll, and I'm just checking Windows Update and there's an update out. So hopefully it fixes it.

Re: BSOD Problem
 

OK opening my mouth to quickly, I just got it again :grind:

Video drivers up-to-date, so are the CD-Drives. Now what do I do? :(

Re: BSOD Problem
 

That filename is related to your graphics drivers, "sis" means SiS your card make and "gl" means OpenGL which the game runs in.

Here's the driver page:

You need GPU drivers unless it's built into your motherboard.

Re: BSOD Problem
 

No that's just Windows normal "this program has caused an error and will be closed" And the Windows Update driver fixed this, it's just this BSOD error now. I've upgraded the firmware in my CD-Drive, and it still does it.

And by the way, Blue-Shift (which is what makes the BSOD) NEEDS the CD to play, and it's only when I launch Blue-Shift that I get the BSOD (which is also when the CD-Drive checks the drive to make sure it's in, and it's not a copy)

Re: BSOD Problem
 

Sounds like the cd-drive is on the way out. :(

I had one go a while ago and I could not even get the system to boot until I unplugged it.
Try another one if you can.

Re: BSOD Problem
 

It's a new drive, and I don't have another one :(

Re: BSOD Problem
 

Try uninstalling it and reboot to find it again.

Re: BSOD Problem
 

Have you updated the graphics drivers anyway?
A filename of "sisgl.dll" sounds like a driver problem to me with that Windows error.

Just wondering because you said this:

Re: BSOD Problem
 

Yes I have updated my graphics drivers, and that Windows error doesn't come up any more. It's just the BSOD about the file I said in my first post.
