Blue Screen Stop Codes (WinXP Home)

G'day,

 

I'm working a blue screen issue that I need help diagnosing.  I'm using WinXP home.  I get a blue screen with the following:

 

SYSTEM_LICENSE_VIOLATION

 

Stop: 0X0000009a   (0X00000004, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

 

 

Now the 0X9a is an NT registry code.  How could I be getting it in XP.  Does XP use an NT kernel?

 

0X4 is a memory/system bus problem.  Maybe?

 

0XC34 - I don't know.  I'm still working service pack 2.

 

 

 

For the moment, my computer is whacked.  I cannot boot it up in any mode (normal, safe, safe with prompt).  I replaced the motherboard because of several bulging and leaking capacitors.  No joy.  I also ran the Dell diags and got some system memory error codes.  Selectively removed ram sticks with no change.

 

So, has anybody seen these codes and what did you do to fix them?

    Bug Check 0x9A: SYSTEM_LICENSE_VIOLATION

    The SYSTEM_LICENSE_VIOLATION bug check has a value of 0x0000009A. This bug check indicates that the software license agreement has been violated.

     

    The Microsoft Windows operating system detects a violation of the software license agreement.

    Thanks Bay Wolf.  I saw those a few days ago and didn't understand what the parameters refered to. 

     

    If Microsoft thinks I have a bootleg copy, I'll call them a liar.  I have the very same OEM copy that came with the machine from Dell 4 years ago (faithfully updated).

     

    How can this be fixed (besides calling Microsoft direct)?  I mean, anyway to prove to WinXP that it is licensed to my machine?

    The term 'NT', in certain contexts can (and should) be construed to mean Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

     

    Significant hardware changes will cause that error.  Changing the motherboard consitutes a significant change.

     

    Insert the XP install CD...
    Goto recovery console and try to do a recovery.

     

    If that doesn't work, then you may have to re-install the OS.

    I didn't know that about NT Bay Wolf.

     

    I tried the recovery console, but it tells me there is no hard drive.  I ran the Dell diags on the hard drive and it checks out OK.  Since I changed the motherboard, I can't even get to the recovery console.  It just hangs up.  I think I might have a hardware problem somewhere that is corrupting the software.

     

    If I get the hardware sorted, will a reinstall affect my docs/data at all?  (I've done reinstalls after formats in 98 and 2K, but not XP yet).

    If you reinstall windows xp all the data on the computer will be lost. In case if you perform reinstallation on a different partition then you can save your data. but two copies of windows will be there on your computer and it might create even more problems. to overcome the same, after saving all the data perform a complete reinstall after deleting all the partition.

    Thanks Karthiktkv.  I stepped back from this kooky problem for a few days.  I'm gonna do what you said, but with another HDD instead of a partition of the same drive.  Then I'm gonna slave it and save the data.
