I downloaded the student version of revit 2008 from the autodesk website. The program dowloaded without any problems (I've uninstalled and reinstalled a few times, so not the problem there). Anyway, it opens a blank template and then..blue screen (stop error):"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer...if a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufactureer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters. Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates...Technical information:STOP: 0x0000008E (0xc0000005, 0xBF8EEAE3, 0XB74B90EC, 0X00000000)"This screen only appears for a moment then restarts my computer. Any ideas what this could be or where i can fix it, thanks for the help.

This is a ptoblem with your computer.

Trying to diagnose it remotely is impossible.

The only things you can do immediately is make sure that you have all the latest drivers for your hardware. Failing this you have to take it to a technichian to have a look at it.

I have the EXACT..and i mean exact same problem, with Revit 2009, student version, error 8e when i try to open or make anything, and Ive been trying to get Revit to work for about 6 months but to no avail.

 

So please... If you did manage to find a solution...what was it?

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You don't say if you followed the advice given in the error message.  Did you follow up on that first?  What equipment are you using?

 Well yeah, Ive done everything I can think of, it is not a hardware fault, application fault (well I could debate on Revit just  giving me a hard time), even three re formattings havent done the trick, so I dont think Ill be able to find an easy solution. This new computer of mine is giving me a heck of a lot of trouble.

Oh and to WWHub... Im using:

 

Asrock Penryn 1600SLI-110Db Motherboard

Q9300 2.5ghz Quad Core Processor

9800 GTX 512mb Graphics Card

4gb 800mhz DDR2 RAM

 

I know Reivt has had problems with many graphics cards before, maybe Ive drawn the short straw this time. I just dont know what triggers the crash, so I cant really diagnose it. The closest Ive come is taking a minidump file which said it may be a driver issue, however as all I have to go on is the memory region its almost impossible to isolate a driver, if it IS that. (Theyre all up to date)...

 Not. Fun.

Sorry to hear about your troubles,

you still need to give us more information about your system - what is the Operating system?

Things to try to narrow down the problem:

Graphics card drivers - we have 8800GTS in the office, I have found that they crash with the latest Nvidia drivers under Vist 32 Bit - try the 175.16 version or earlier.

If you have vista, turn off all graphic enhancements including Aero theme.

Download from the net the latest full version of Revit - Web update 2 and run in demo mode  - this will test if it is the software version.

Turn off DEP Data execution prevention for Vista (or XP) it is under control panel > system properties > advanced > performance...

tell us how you go

Haha sorry Ill try to be more specific.

 

Im running Windows XP 32 bit (Home edition), with the latest 9800GTX 178.13 drivers.

To download this web update two, will that work on my student version of Revit Architecture 2009, Im not sure because the Autodesk site keeps saying "Revit MEP 2009", is that what Ive got? I wasnt sure, but Ive managed to track down an update for AutoCAD Revit Architecutre 2009 Suite, which is what I downloaded, so Ill try that.

 

Is there anything else (information wise) that could be helpful, and does the Webu Update 2 apply to a different version of Revit.

Oh yeah Ive already reformatted my computer...three times... to no avail. (With Revit going in as the first program to be installed).

Oh and DEP is (and always has been) on only for essential windows services and program, which was the lowest it could go seeing it wont let me disable it completely, so so far Revit is still irritating me, although there is a new development.

 

When I was working away on one of the shoddy school computers I made a tutorial house, and it was on my USB, so I bought it home and plugged it in, and just for the heck of it decided to try and open it on Revit (after copying it to the desktop so that if the computer restarted my usb wouldnt die).

The funny thing is that.... It opened. No changes beforehand to Revit, it just opened, and I could do anything to it, it worked fine, rendereding, building it, all went off without a hitch. I thought then that it must have come good, but opening any other file or making a new one still crashes it...its just that ONE file Revit can open without crashing....most the time anyways, I had a crash opening it yesterday.

So yes...the mystrery continues...

Have a look at the event viewer in windows and see specifically what happened when it crashed - probably under "system" see here how to find it:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302542

it should say if it is a driver or a memory problem.

 

You can turn off DEP for specific programs - make sure it is off for Revit.

 

I was thinking that you should unload your student version of Revit and load the wu2 version off the net (just in case there is a bug with the student version) here:

http://revit.downloads.autodesk.com/download/2009/RAC2009_WU2_SP_ENU.EXE

see how that goes.

Yeah, DEP is off for Revit, and the funny thing is the Event Viewer has always been clean (from the very first time Revit crashed, its never come up), theres no error anywhere (about Revit) in system or application.

Downloading the WU2 thing as I type.

No the Web Update 2 didnt change a thing. It still gives me the 8E STOP error referencing win32k.sys.

 

Here one of the minidumps I managed to get:

Sorry about the messy paste guys, the debugger must use spaces instead of line breaks or something.

Try reinstalling your PC's drivers, and fix the registry.  I had the same problem. 

You can fix your registry with CCLEANER
