2nd cmp2 box has been doing well. I have only done steppes 1st and 2nd steps.
So I boot up and get a bsod. It had a bunch of zeros. Then I reboot and same thing. No time to mess but the 2nd bsod had the following:
0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0x805cac46, 0xF897666c, 0xF8976368)
Looked on line an no real info.
Here is what fixed it and if anyone can shed some light I would be grateful: I went into the bios and changed the speed setting of the cpu from 1.6 to 990mhz since that was the only thing that had changed. It booted right up and has done so 2wice now.
Never had a bsod that was fixed by underclocking. Was this just a coincidence or does deleting some of the files outlined in steppe's steps cause this???

It shouldn't happen. In none of my tweaks and after none of them, a blue screen should appear. I can only think of one thing: if you were removing files not from your cmp hdd directly, but from another windows and DELETED the windows pcm codec? It's a sticky one with *.acm extension that won't let itself be deleted on the early stages. Otherwise, I really can't think of anything. Especially that early. What is your boot.ini "legend" by the way? Have you done /CLKLVL? Remove it.

Hi Serge,
I probably wasnt clear. It had nothing to do with your steps. FOr instance I did the first 2 steps and everything worked fine.
The system just worked and was consistently booting at 990mhz. Then one time it didnt and BSOD. Reset to 990 and viola it now boots fine.
WHat do you mean by "legend"?
And what is clklvl. It has been a long time since I did the steps.
Have you tried changing your cpu speed in the bios with your steps in place?
It might not have anything to do with the steps, but all this time and so many auto bios reclocks from 990 to 1.6 and no problems. I do the steps and now it seems that a reset can cause a blue screen.

Hello! It's best, imho, not to reset the speed of the cpu. Also, take a look and read carefully, and if you wish, implement, but slowly my tweaks 21(corrected edition) - it's all about bios and memory timings. You can do it anytime. It doesn't depend on my windows tweaks. Gives splendid results but requires a long break-in period. After a 24 hours initial break in time it will usually start sounding very good in about 35-40 minutes (for cmpextreme).
/CLKLVL is a setting in the boot.ini line like /fastdetect. I called this last line with kernel parameters legend here just for fun. Use it, but use it only once, to taste it, as IT will reset your bios FOR SURE, unless you perform it with cpu working at normal speed. Very dangerous but shows what we are missing with so many different clocks in our computers differently ticking. A thing to work on for the future.
Serge.
I have great stability in my system running @ 840 mhz after all the steppes (1-22) and almost all of the registry tweaks. My windows size is something like 45 mb. My home pc windows is like 10 gb so I believe the smaller the better esp for stability. The other day I took out one of my hdds to load some new music and I got a bsod while playing cplay (before the steppes I used to get these once a month or so). So I dont think steppes 1-2 will do anything to increase bsod risk. Sometimes sh** happens.
