BSOD on WindowsXP with Motorola SM56 drivers
Here's how the things a
- I have 4 different modems - all Motorola SM56 but each with different features - These modems are inside 4 PCs with WindowsXP, two with Duron, two with Celeron inside - All 4 modems work with drivers from Motorola on Duron based machines (tried each one on each PC) - None of these 4 modems can be installed nor work on Celeron based machines! What happens on 2 Celeron PCs is that driver installation results with BSOD (I've disabled automatic restart) where it says STOP: 0000007E. More on the matter, one of Celeron based PCs has only SP1 installed while on the second one is clean installation of Windows XP with SP2. And that doesn't help. In fact, on another two Duron based architectures XP is not the "clean" OS installation, yet modem driver installs normally and modems are working. I've tried disabling onboard soundcard, removing all cards out except modems, checking with different drivers available on Motorola site - and nothing works. BSOD is what I get every time. Then I've tried Dell's drivers (not ment for these modems). Installation of these drivers never generate BSOD, and I confirm that Motorola SM56 modems work with these drivers. However, again ONLY on Duron based machines! On Celeron ones these drivers return errors?! Am I crazy or what? The only thing I'm left to check is Mainboard BIOS updates. All 4 Mainboards are Matsonic's, not the same ones though. Each PC has different mainboard inside. The only similar thing on mainboards are VIA chipsets, but I've installed latest VIA's drivers on all 4 PCs. What are my options? To buy new modems or to try with BIOS flashing. I'd like to keep Motorola modems, but I'm not very happy with the idea of meddling with BIOS. Anyone has any other idea? Just to mention that modems worked perfectly on all 4 PCs while win98 was on those. That's why I suspect that the problem is WinXP/CeleronArchitecture and not something else. P.S. 4 PCs are not mine, only one is mine, other 3 belong to friends of mine. |
