Data Bus Error

[Asaph]

hi;

I am getting this unusual error here - Stop 0x0000002E. From Google, I did came to know that this error is related to data bus error. But what's the reason of getting such an error....can anyone explain me about the same ? and How can I troubleshoot such an error ? Any ideas.....

This error message is also known as Stop 0x2E. It typically indicates that a parity error in system memory has been detected. This error is almost always caused by a hardware problem, a configuration issue, defective hardware, or incompatible hardware.
The exception is when a device driver has accessed an address in the 0x8xxxxxxx range that does not exist (that is, does not have a physical address mapping).

Follow the guidelines given below to solve the problem -

Data Bus (Stop 0x2E) error usually occurs after the installation of faulty hardware or when existing hardware fails. If hardware has recently been added to the system, remove it to see if the error recurs.

If existing hardware has failed, remove or replace the faulty component.

You need to run hardware diagnostics supplied by the system manufacturer to determine which hardware component has failed. For details on these procedures, see the owners manual for your computer.

Check that all the adapter cards in the computer, including memory modules, are properly seated. Use an ink eraser or an electrical contact treatment, available at electronics supply stores, to ensure adapter card contacts are clean.
Be sure to wipe the cleaned contacts off, removing all cleaning debris, before reinstalling the adapter card into the computer.
If compressed air is available, use it to clear out the adapter card slot.

Stop 0x2E error can also cause due to disk corruption. To fix this, try to Run Chkdsk /f /r on the system partition.

Note - You must restart the system before the disk scan begins. If you cannot start the system due to the error, use the Recovery Console and run Chkdsk /r

If the error occurs - on a newly installed system, please check the availability of updates for BIOS revisions on the motherboard, SCSI controllers, or network cards.
Note - Updates of this kind are typically available on the Web site or BBS of the hardware manufacturer.

If the error occurs - after installing a new or updated device driver, then driver needs to be removed or replaced. If, under this circumstance, the error occurs - during startup, then restart the computer using Safe Mode to rename or delete the file.
