"12C return" failed message
I'm having reboot and freeze problems with my home built PC. It
happens when running Google Earth.I have a ABIT X700 PCIE video card on a ASUS P5GD1 MB running XP PRO. The system event viewer gives this message "12C return failed". Can anyone help me? What does this message mean and could my video card be bad? I updated to the latest driver and turned off hardware acceleration and neither helped. Any hellp or suggestions will be appreciated. |

The bus is licensed by Philips, and used by hundreds of other manufacturers. http://www.nxp.com/products/interface_control/i2c/ The SPD chip on your memory DIMMs (SPD holds the recommended memory timing settings) are queried via a bus like that. Your LCD monitor or CRT, can talk via a serial bus in the VGA cable (EDID). But without more content in the error message, such as a driver name or some other identifying info, it will be hard to guess at what is busted. Since you were using Google Earth, that would involve the video card. Have you run other 3D applications beside Google Earth ? Do you have any 3D games ? Have you ever run one of the versions of 3DMark ? Programs like that can be used to test the video card, and put it under some stress. Do any other 3D applications crash or cause reboots ? What size power supply is in the computer ? What is the power supply brand name and model number ? Providing a more complete hardware inventory might suggest something. Also, looking in the BIOS, at the hardware monitor (temp readings, voltage readings) or via Asus Probe, while your test programs are running, might give you more feedback about system health. It could be an out of spec voltage, or something overheating etc. Also, you should disable automatic reboots, so you can get a nice BSOD screen. Then, you can write down the crash info from the BSOD screen. Maybe you'll get the name of a software driver from that. Chances are, it might be the name of the video card driver. Paul |

GCO EV 44 The "ATI" bit tells you it is the video card. This page reminds me, that sometimes a driver change can help. If this is a particular driver version problem, an older driver might fix it. If the symptoms remain, then it could be a hardware problem, with the video card. http://www.driverheaven.net/showthread.php?p=985911 Paul |
