ATIeRecord EEU Error Event in Windows 7?
I've recently noticed a whole bunch of error events in my event log
having to do with something called the ATIeRecord. There are 3 different eventid's associated with this source. The log entries usually are of the form: Source: ATIeRecord EventID: 16386/16388/16391 Level: Error Category: EEU Going to Microsoft's Event Log Online Help results in no information being found, of course. Now, a bit about my system. This system does have an ATI video system, but it's the integrated video, it's not my primary video. My primary video is an Nvidia 8600GT video card. The ATI video gets disabled by the BIOS automatically; and indeed Device Manager doesn't even show the ATI adapter in the device list when the Nvidia is installed. So it's a little puzzling why I should be getting any errors for the ATI video adapter at all. My Nvidia video drivers are completely uptodate usually, but I don't bother with the ATI video drivers since they can't be installed when the ATI adapter is not visible in Device Manager. I only noticed these log entries after a system crash today, which resulted in me having to hit the reset button. These were the last entries in the log prior to the reset. Any ideas? Yousuf Khan |

Yousuf Khan Perhaps before your 8600GT was installed, you used the ATI for a short time ? Perhaps some ATI daemon is still running (gets launched at startup), even though the driver itself isn't running. Check in Task Manager, and see what is running. Or use one of the Sysinternals tools (Process Explorer). http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s...rnals/bb896653 Paul |

Yes, that's right, it was running on the internal video for a while, while I was setting up the system originally, but that was way back when this system was running Windows XP. I've since replaced that with Windows 7, which was by definition a fresh clean install since there's no way to upgrade from XP to 7. When Windows 7 was installed, it went straight on with the Nvidia card already in place. I don't think I ever removed the Nvidia card before the Windows 7 install. Anyways, I did do a search for ATI-related processes, and I found two so far, ATIECLXX.EXE & ATIESRXX.EXE. So maybe I'm wrong, perhaps the ATI video may have become active for some reason during the time this system was running Windows 7. I found the solution on the AMD help forums itself on how to remove this service, just run the following command from an admin command-line: sc delete "AMD External Events Utility" That's after you've stopped that service, of course. Hopefully this will have cleared up the problem. Here's the link to the AMD forum posting: AMD Game Forums - How to remove atieclxx.exe and atiesrxx.exe? "Go to Admin Tools, then Services .. look in services list for AMD External Events Utility - stop the service. The open a command prompt with elevated ( admin ) rights and type - sc delete "AMD External Events Utility" and that should clear it up .." http://forums.amd.com/game/messagevi...hreadid=121536 Yousuf Khan |
