Floating Point Division By Zero

[texas_ex]

I just built a computer and occasionally get this error when running applications. I was wondering if this was due to software or hardware. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Exception EZeroDivide in module ASM1781D.DLL at 0000195D.
Floating point division by zero.

These won't exactly answer your question, but what the heck:
floating point
A method for storing and calculating numbers in which the decimal points do not line up as in fixed point numbers. The significant digits are stored as a unit called the mantissa, and the location of the radix point (decimal point in base 10) is stored in a separate unit called the exponent. Floating point methods are used for calculating a large range of numbers quickly.

Floating point operations can be implemented in hardware (math coprocessor), or they can be done in software. In large sysems, they can also be performed in a separate floating point processor that is connected to the main processor via a channel.
divide overflow
A program error in which a number is accidentally divided by zero or by a number that creates a result too large for the computer to handle.

is your cpu greater than 233mhz?

if so check out this site at intel
