#Error 80000004, Help!
5 messages in this thread
I am a new amiga user and I got an error 80000004. I have no idea what this is.
I asked a couple different people that are amiga users and they didnt know
either.
I bought this amiga used and it came with no manuals.
I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks

Ah, the infamous "Guru Meditation" (unless your Amiga has the newer
operating system in which case it is a "Software Error").
Don't worry, usually that is due to a bug in a program that you are using.
If you get it frequently with different programs then there may be a bad
chip or something in your system but most likely it is simple software
problem. Often a shortage of RAM can cause crashes, or trying to push
your system to the limit.
If you want to know what the error message means you can either d/l a text
file or program which will give you an explanation.
Hope this helps,

Your welcome. The Amiga is a great machine but it can be quirky
sometimes.
