At wit's end

Can anyone make anything out of this?
0x000000EA (0x89ba2020 0x8a13cf60 0xba4f7cbc 0x00000001)
I have a Toshiba L300 1AM laptop, it has a integrated Intel graphics card which I HATE!!!!!!!! i get a blue screen with the aforementioned error on the littlest stress on it, on anything else (browsing net, messenger, etc.) it works great.
Please anyone help, a driver, a solution.
Thank you for your time.

Update your video card drivers and directx.
If that doesn't fix it uninstall 3rd party codecs and video players temporarily.
If you use a remote desktop program of any sort disable it.

Check for IRQ conflicts:

Start Menu -> Run -> msinfo32

(this is for windows xp, may look different in vista or 7)
Expand the Hardware Resources tree and click IRQs. Check that the IRQ for your video card is not shared by anything else.

Problem rears it's ugly head in vista and 7 (intel display driver stopped working and succesfully recovered)->worked for a full day and then died so I had to format the bitch, it's a driver problem supposedly(microsoft blames intel and vice versa). An year ago I sent the laptop back for analysis because i thought the video board war broken, they said it works and installed xp sp2 and it worked how i wish I could find the driver they used(licence expired and i stupidly installed vista). Now i installed xp sp2 and I get the lovely bsod on any kind of activity that stresses the video board(media player classic won't even start(with hardware acc off it works, pretty well on hd too)).
Oh yeah, vid board IRQ is shared by "pci to usb host controller (2 of them), PCI-E fast ethernet NIC).
Sorry for TLDR

After you installed XP back on the system did you install the latest drivers from Intel's website? See Here

Try disabling your on board LAN in your bios. This may or may not solve your problem.

EDIT: To see if that is the cause, you can attempt a fix after problem isolation



Yes, I've heard of the driver issue, and the most you can do with that is to use the drivers Toshiba recommends.

Toshiba Driver Search page



Did you try using windows update on vista and installing all updates relating to video after installing the latest intel drivers?

And just to be sure none of the other suggestions offered above worked? Including Masterwolf's?

Toshiba's drivers only make it worse, they seem to work less than Intel's unmodified drivers and I tried a lot of drivers and updates, in xp sp2 they only changed the error code the bsod gives me, a step in the right direction too bad I don't know which one. And about the On board LAN solution, I'll try but it's a laptop, even if it works it will leave me Internetless and that's bad. Thanks for the advices guys.

I edited the post a few times for clarity and to where you can find the newest drivers from Intel so try this again. The Intel drivers are version 8.15.10.2119 while the drivers on Toshiba's site are 8.15.10.1883.

1) Download a few things first. Get CCleaner and your latest graphics driver for your operating system(see bottom). Don't use them yet.

2) Uninstall the intel graphics driver in add/remove programs or programs and features in the control panel. If it asks to reboot choose no. It should be called something like Intel Graphics or Intel Drivers. If you don't see it or aren't sure just skip to step 3.

3) Check to make sure your display adapter driver is uninstalled and deleted in the device manager - open device manager by right-clicking computer from either the desktop or start menu and selecting manage and then choose device manager on the left. From there expand display adapters and right-click the intel adapter if its there and choose uninstall. If it asks to delete the driver software choose yes.

4) Reboot into safe mode. Easy way to do this is go to start then run and type in msconfig (If you don't have the run command, right-click the task bar and choose properties and in the start menu tab choose customize and scroll down until you see "Run command" and check the box beside it). Navigate to the boot tab and check safe boot with minimal selected and after hitting OK/Apply reboot.

5) In safe mode run CCleaner's registry cleaner a few times until you have no more issues (I don't know why you can't just run it once and get everything - maybe a limit?).

6) Boot normally (make sure to go into msconfig again and uncheck safe boot first before you reboot).

7) Install the drivers.

8.) Reboot for good measure and tell us how it went.

Try these graphics drivers directly from Intel: Go to http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng and input "Graphics Media Accelerator 4500" into the search and click search downloads and then choose your operating system. Make sure to use the latest ones.

Yes, do what Nachbar says and hopefully that solves your issue.

EDIT: Oh I forgot to mention, the reason I linked Toshiba's driver page was not only for the video drivers but for the other drivers as well. The reason for this is because all those drivers revisions are known to work together like a package. Otherwise, you should manually update every other driver as well. If your bus drivers are not up to date, newer video drivers may actually cause problems. I think they list it as a Utilities and the description is something like Intel chipset.

However, if that does not work:

I didn't read carefully enough about your IRQ sharing. I saw you said 2 devices so I thought video and network = 2. I realize now there's 3 devices total.

Do you use a lot of USB devices like keyboard/mouse, printers, webcams, etc? If you do try to not use them temporarily.

EDIT: By not using, I mean unplug the devices.

Also, about the disabling the network card, as I said it's temporary just to see if it is the cause. There's ways to change the IRQ manually if needed but it's not easy.

How exactly do you sit the laptop? What I mean is does it sit on a table or do you place it on carpet or on a bed? I've blown two Toshiba laptops and I found the problem was that apparently they have to sit on a flat hard surface when the get hot. If they're placed on carpets or beds excessive amounts of time and continuously get hot they can cause blue screens. If you've updated your drivers and your still experiencing a blue screen the hard drive is likely damaged.

Look it up on Google and you'll see similar problems Toshiba owners encounter.

thanks a lot guys, I will try everything suggested and come back with results, later though cuz' I'm pretty busy.
