Black Screen Of Death: (no Updates Or Installations)
Sep 23, 2009
So I've read so many pages all around the web about this problem, with no explainable reason (no updates or installations) I booted up yesterday to find that after login my desktop was black with only my cursor visible. I wait some 5 or 6 minutes and the desktop appears but explorer.exe is slower than slow and takes the same amount of time to action any click. Painstakingly, I went through msconfig and disabled everything, one by one I re-enabled each item, rebooted and tested the results. Rinse and repeat for every process. All worked fine until I came across 'Shell Hardware Detect'. If this process is enabled then I get the error described above.
So a cursory search around the web doesn't seem to yield many resolutions to this problem. I only seem to be able to find similar issues on Win XP SP2 - however i'm running Vista Premium X64 SP2. I'm angling towards SP2 as ever since I installed it I've noticed a few bugs. Typically, searching on Microsoft's support website the term Shell Hardware Detection yields nothing whatsoever. Anyone have any ideas how I can get this process functioning properly again?

It's called a Black Screen of Death (KSOD) Apparently this is associated with Vista Premium and Dell computers. When she turns her computer on it starts up fine. The Lil green vista bar comes up and such. But after that no start up noise. No nothing just pitch black. You can see your mouse cursor though Tried the methods that were listed on this site : 'Fix for Windows.Vista Black Screen of Death, aka KSOD ? the back room tech'.....

It just would not boot up after shuting off the computer. The system kicked into the black option screen where I selected to let Windows run a [forget the wording] restore function. It finally did restore the system. I thought it was caused by the automatic Sun Java update that I allowed to be installed just before that happened.

My one guess is its something to do with the display driver maybe because that has been stuffing up a bit of late, in the way of the screen going black for a couple of seconds then recovering.

i was updating drivers for my motherboard when my desktop froze and i was forced to manually reset, after the reset the computer restarted normally but it was slow on logon and it was weird since it always acts fast, i tryed to finish installing the drivers and it froze up again! so again i restarted, when i did... BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH!!!
when i try to reboot i get the boot choices (start windows normally, safe mode...) and none of them work! is all the same black screen with the cursor, i dnt get a choice of "last good known configuration" either, i tryed pressing ctrl-alt-del and nothing happens! does anyone know how to solve this problem without reinstalling windows? i have 300GB worth of stuff i dont wanna loose!
I tryed the windows vista disc repair procedure and it tells me it cant fix the problem, i try system restore and it tells me there is no restore points set, which it cant be true because a few days ago i opened system restore and saw tons of restore points from before.

after my computer boots it gets stuck on a black screen with a mouse cursor in the middle. I have been researching and reading for a solution but have not found one that works for me. I can't boot into safe mode or even safe mode with command prompt so i cant do any registry fixes which some people suggest. Iv also tried last known good configuration but that didnt work either. ctrl + alt + delete doesn't work either. iv tried doing a clean install and using the windows diagnostics and recovery toolset version 6. but they havnt worked either after the loading files bar the KSOD comes back again, it is like the computer cannot read the discs or it wont boot from them.

HP Laptop running Ultimate....Everything was fine yesterday - attempted to load a .cue file with MagicISO and computer froze.. no biggie went to restart - got the loading shot (green night rider bar) and then black screen of death. Restart - tried all safe modes but will not pass crcdisk.sys..... Attemoted to start from dvd - finally got that working - Go in to repair mode - it finds Vista on by C: parition - scans for problems but can't fix them.. Try system restore - says there are none - which isn't true...tried the command prompt and did bootrec /fixmbr and /fixboot still no change..... I even attempted to do a clean upgrade over the old one, but of course the upgrade option is grayed out...

I just recently purchased a new game, and it said it would help the game's performance to install Vista Service Pack 1. While doing this, at the end of configuring updates, I recieved a black screen and "0xc0190036" with some message like keyboard. after it. It never changed from this screen. From different websites online, I read my best bet is to reinstall Vista. I have an Acer computer, and I am not positive that I recieved a back-up CD with my purchase. If I did, it must be lost, as my house is organized like an OCD freak would do. I was able to find XP OS disk, and quickly put that in, only to soon realize this was a Dell OS. This basically was a whole bunch of fail, and now it seems my only option is to boot "CD-ROM" with the Vista CD which I do not have in there...

there are many ndis.sys Blue Screen of Death postings on the net, but none of them seem to suggest that it is solved. Can it be solved? Or can someone point to a solution? the blue screen shows DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and I am using an onboard LAN card by Intel, with IRQ -3 (minus 3), the model is 82562-V2 10/100 It is on Vista SP1, with every possible upgrade installed.

It has become a routine. This dreaded screen (which I've never seen during my seven years with Windows XP) has poped up several times.
Is there a way to see what causes the problem. I was denied access to some mini dumps.

Vista suddenly would not boot yesterday. Getting BS of Death errors: c000021a and c000012f at times. First it reported it was unable to find ADVAPI32.DLL. Upon doing diagnostics after hitting F8 during startup, it says error code 2000-0146 with Hard Drive 1. What the heck is going on, and how do I fix this? Dell Inspiron 1525, manufactured 7/2008. Of course, warranty ran out...go figure. Vista Home Premium. Will *never* buy another Dell again. Nothing but problems with every one of them.

I have an HP dv6500 which worked fine until I replaced Norton Security System with AVG and Windows Defender. Since then, I have crashes almost everyday! I don't know much about Vista and have failed to locate the problem. A really interesting thing is, the crash happens everytime I try to upload something somewhere, like an email attachment or to uploadsites like uploadr. Even if uploaded, the files are always corrupted.

My machine works great all day except once or so it will restart, and I get in an Instant the Blue Screen of Death. There's no time to read the screen. This was a VERY expensive "game" machine. It seems to happen with the most recent version of Firefox -3.08 But I'm not sure. Is this likely software, hardware, power variance, what?

so I built my new computer about a week ago, and I'm having a BSOD problem. It seems to happen randomly, but one thing for sure sets it off is when I'm using uTorrent, or any other bittorrent program. This isn't the only cause, but it's defintely one of them. I know because I can reboot and leave my comp alone and it'll be fine for hours, but if I just run utorrent, it'll BSOD after 10-20mins.
The BSOD problem is "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL." From what I know this is caused by a Driver issue (that's why i'm posting it in the Drivers forum.) However, i've updated EVERY driver to the latest and it's still happening. I've done windows update, latest bios, latest motherboard drivers (located here TinyURL.com - shorten that long URL into a Tiny URL ), sound card driver, video card driver (running a GTX 260), VIA V-Raid driver, and keyboard+mouse driver. I don't know what else to update. I even downloaded a program called Driver Genius Professional to find anything missing, but still nope.
Also, I downloaded memtest86 to make sure my ram is all good, and it passed with no errors. I'm so f*cking frustrated by this. Someone told me I need to make sure my "IRQLs" are the same, but I have no idea what that is or how I fix it. I formatted my harddrive before I put it in my new comp, so there isn't any lingering files that could be causing this.

I have recently been getting the BSOD appearing with no rhyme or reason I can discern. The first error line that shows up is Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I have read differing advice on how to fix this, but I haven't recently installed any programs and haven't changed anything to do with my drivers.

I'm running Vista Home Premium x64. Yesterday i installed SP2 and after the reboot from that i realised i had the Relevant Knowledge spyware on my startup. I managed to restart in safe mode and removed the relevant knowledge from startup on msconfig and uninstalled it as a program. Following another reboot i noticed that my TV tuner and audio drivers were no longer recognised in the device manager, i also ran a spybot search and destroy to remove any remnants of the relevant knowledge. I guessed that the service pack had probably stopped the tv driver working (as this had happened in the past) so i uninstalled the SP 2.
Following the reboot i got the blue screen of death, but was able to boot from my Vista CD to repair windows, this went through a series of checks but found no memory problems, following yet another reboot i got taken to the system startup and chose to boot into safe mode just to make sure, this was unsuccessful. Things have gone from bad to worse, my cd drive is connected by USB and this is no longer recognised so i cant even boot from cd, and no matter how i choose to start the computer (safe mode, with networking, command prompt, last known good config) the computer just restarts and brings me back to the same screen. I know that this is not good, but would prefer to try and fix myself rather than pay to have it done, any solutions?

I guess you can't call it the Blue Screen of Death anymore as at least it collects data and reports the problem and boots back up (or does it?). I've had a total of 3 of these screens and am wondering how I can view what took place and possibly find out if there are any steps I can take to prevent the same thing from happening? Is anyone else experiencing this? I couldn't find anything in search function on several bases.

Backup is broken and doesn't offer any settings for advanced users. It returned only 0800xxxx errors on me, no matter what I tried (sheduled backup, fresh backup, etc). My filesystem was OK, and I didn't have any extra users (and removed them, leaving some registry settings) on the system (which was a known problem).
- My RAID1 kept failing (and rebuilding). To be honest: This could be an ASUS P5K-E problem (my motherboard), I am not sure.
- System freezes. Power down was the only way out. (Which means a RAID1 rebuild)
- When I run Windows Update, I see an update for my LANdriver. If I try to install it, my system freezes. This is a driver delivered via.....

I installed an imaging software program that was supposed to support 64-bit, but shortly thereafter I got the black SoD. I quickly uninstalled, then went into the device manager and removed the driver for it. The computer ran fine for a day or so, even including a restart or two. Then this morning I was watching an online movie and it went to the blue screen of death, the only thing I caught of the code was 0000000001e, then it shut down. Vista 64-bit home premium was pre-installed, so I put in the reinstall version of Vista, but can't boot to it. The computer turns on to the black screen of death, but no cursor. The computer is running, and the cd even spins when I hold escape, but it will not boot into windows. I have tried F-8, along with every other F as well (and some of my own too!), but nothing is working.
It did boot to my windows normally one time in the middle of all of my attempts, and instead of doing a system restore (which looks like a much better choice in retrospect), I was just going to restore my entire system from an image (Acronis) using their boot disc, but unfortunately it said I needed to restart my system in order for the image to be put in place of my current image, which I clicked 'ok'....then about 1/1000 of a second later realized that wasn't the smartest thing I'd ever done, because it probably won't boot back up again.
