BSOD after ejecting disc???
So, I've been having issues with a game I just bought. Whenever I quit and eject the disc (after making sure it wasn't still running of course) I get a stop error. I've posted on a forum specifically for this game (The Sims 2 Apartment Life, fyi), thinking it was a game conflict, but they told me this was a computer problem and locked the thread >< So now I came here...
At first, the game would crash after qutting with an "application has crashed..." message, even though it always ran perfectly fine (as in without any *noticeable* signs of a problem, or crashing before quitting). I actually can't remember if the bsod would come up in the beginning ^^; But NOW, the bsod comes up when I eject the disc even if I let the computer sit for a while after quitting and making sure nothing related with the game is still running. I haven't played it repeatedly so I've only had a handful of bsods, but they first said "page fault in nonpaged area" before the latest one, which gave no message. I've read that message means a memory problem, but what does it mean if that message doesn't show up anymore???
Here's the most recent bsod code:
0xC0000007E (0xC000005, 0x806E694F, 0xF7AB0C30, 0xF7AB092c)
I have an Inspiron E1505, with XP SP3 Home Edition. My drivers are updated, except my cd/dvd drive. I've looked all over for this particular problem with the game - lots of people have similar crashing problems, but not quite the same.
Other things I noticed: A couple times the game disc will spin-up really, really loudly in the drive and never stop doing that even after quitting. But, there was one time I ejected it without the stop error, when I didn't play in my custom neighborhood although not for very long. That's why I thought it was a game conflict, but apparently not. If anything, does anyone know what this code means, or how I'd go about fixing this if possible?
Any help at all will be really appreciated!! :)
