Hey, Im just new to this site and these forums ( I love the graphics by the way) and I desperately need help on my stop error message.
Halo has been working perfectly on my computer before and has decided to stop running, I don't know exactly when it happened.
Every time I try to play halo, when it gets to the loading screen (when the words 'halo' appear) it shuts down my computer. The halo demo still works, but I want to play my full game again! I've tried Microsoft help but they didn't even reply.
Anyway, here's the stop message:

***STOP: OxOOOOOO8E (OxCOOOOOO5,Ox8A42EE1B,OxB4658814,OxOOOOOOOO

I think that's it all, if somethings wrong i'll get halo to restart my computer again.
Thankyou very much for your time!

what are your computer specs (particulary the Graphics) and find drivers for your graphics card/controller and download direct X9 and re install

Hey again, my graphics driver actually properly updated this time without going safe. I have yet to try halo again. I think the error may be something to do with my cd/dvd drive, it goes on full when i try to play???

Thanks for your help, and hoping for more help.

^ The two above posts were made at the same time, and say pretty much the same thing ^_^

Anyway, it sounds like your problem is graphics card driver-related.

For more information on the stop error message, you can go here. There may be some useful information there. On that same page, there is a link that leads to a lengthy page that explains how to rectify the problem (though I'm not sure if it will help you or not).

For information on video card related Halo PC problems you can go here. It seems your graphics card is known to work with HPC, however, if you scroll down about 1/12 of the way down to the ATI Radeon 9000 and 9200 section (quoted below) it seems the problem is associated with the driver. Though they are different cards, it seems your problem is most likely do to drivers as well.

ATI Radeon 9000 and 9200
When you start, play, or exit Halo: Combat Evolved on a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer, the computer may automatically restart. You may also receive the following Stop error message:
Stop : 0XXXXXXXXX (0Xc0000005, 0Xxxxxxxxx, 0Xxxxxxxxx, 0X00000000) ati3d2ag.dll BFA86515 base at BFA17000, date stamp 3f7a342b
ATI video card drivers may cause this issue. To resolve this issue, remove the existing drivers from “Add or Remove Programs” in Control Panel, and then install an ATI Catalyst 3.0 driver.

Cheers.

First of all, if you read my post (which you obviously didn't), you would understand that I was merely making an inference into his problem. I specifically said, that though his card is not the same as the cards listed, there may be a connection in that the error message is driver related. Secondly, I did not use google and did not copy any links from it. If you want an example of using google and copying links, then click here and follow the advice. Lastly, who do you think you are? Calling me out on an attempt to help someone who is having a problem. What is wrong with you? Correct me if I'm wrong (and I am not) but did you even bother to provide any insight into the matter? What could possibly be the reasoning or thought process going through your head when making a post like that? Can you rationalize it for me please. If not, then do me a favor: act like a fly (specifically a housefly whom has a lifespan of 25-30 days mind you ;-) [Source: 1st link on google :-P] and buzz off.

Woo! first sorry for the tripple posting, second thanks for all the replies - whether they help or not. I thought this thread may have died for a moment.
I havn't had a chance to look through those links you gave me yet, but will very soon.
Thanks for all the help!

edit** Ok I have looked through the links and tried changing some of my nvidia settings (it seems to have a specific thing for halo) but it still doesn't want to work. I also tried turning off Directx like what it said in that link but to no success.
also what I don't get is why higher graphics games such as sims2, il2ce, ut2004 etc still work.
Ive turned off all the global anti-aliasing etc - and whatdya know! ...Still doesn't work!

MrMill, when 'reinstalling', do you just press the reinstall button on the setup screen, or actually uninstall fully and do a new install?

If you just press reinstall it doesn't get rid of some problems, try uninstalling, reset your computer then install it fresh. That fixed some of my problems.

The other problem could be to do with the memory, if you reset your computer alot when playing it can mess up the RAM.

Thanks i'll try your way of reinstalling, and about the RAM - is it possible to see if its screwed it up or not?

I don't have Mcafee but I ran 5 different virus scans etc last night. We also tried starting the pc up in safe mode but now my computer keeps telling me to install the RAID Controller, but it can't find it by itself.
should avg have been able to pick up the viruses? and Is a RAID Controller/Driver necessary for Halo?

Any more possible help?
