Blue Screen And Crash On Vista Ultimate 64
Sep 12, 2009
I seem to be getting a blue screen error and crash on Vista Ultimate 64. Can't figure out what it is exactly, It has happened while using firefox and IE. But no common denominators. So far I am using firefox now without a crash, but it has crashed 3 times. I also saw a pop-up about task manager not working after one of the crashes.

The system has been stable for some time but today while working in Excel I got an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0A BSOD, rebooted and within 5 minutes got SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 3B BSOD and now getting this repeatedly. My best guess right now is that a stick of RAM has failed so have removed all but one 2GB stick and no crashes so far - will run some memory tests on each stick in turn tomorrow. I really hope that's all it is (& I can get it replaced under warranty!) and it's not a mobo fault.
The BIOS did go into recovery mode when I tried to enter it, that's okay now but the raid 5 array is re-initialising as a result . The auto memory timings have never matched the spd (slower) but that never bothered me but I think I'll manually set to the stated timings of 4-4-4-12 depending on what the tests reveal. Only real SW change apart from usual MS updates is I installed VMC TV Pack and USB wifi adapter a few days ago but I'd have expected to see this sooner if that was the cause. From what I've read a 3B is more likely hardware anyway?

I'm getting blue screen crashes and I am unable to open up the mini dump files to try and locate the problem.

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 am new to this forum so I hope you'll be patient with me. I have a MSI MS-163C laptop with 2GB of RAM and a Intel Dual Core Processor. I have received a copy of Vista Ultimate 64 Bit addition as part of my MAPS subscription and thought that would give it a go, my current version is 32 bit. I have researched and found that 3 to 4GB of RAM is recommended for 64 bit so I purchased 2 x 2GB sticks from FutureShop [Buffalo DDR II / 667mhz PC2 5300 However, anytime that I install any more than the 2GB already in the computer the computer goes to a "Blue" crash screen and I can't go any further. I checked the ram that is in the computer and they are 1GB sticks 667mhz, pretty much the same. If I take both of them out and install just one of the 2GB sticks the computer seems OK, but even if I install a 1GB with it to make it 3GB it crashes again. I am trying to determine for myself it this might be a BIOS problem or what,

I can no longer take the multiple blue screen crash dumps. I have 32-bit Vista Home Premium on an HP Pavilion. After seeing those internal emails among Microsoft's top executives that were released in a lawsuit a couple of weeks ago -- they were complaining to each other about the same problems on their home computers with peripherals and drivers that I've been having -- I called HP tech this morning and said I want to install XP Professional and that I have a licensed copy on disk.
The HP tech guy, based in Oregon rather than India for a change, said all I had to do was copy the files I want to keep onto my external hard drive and then put the XP disk in the machine and it will direct me to format the hard drive.....and then install. I recall reading somewhere that the chipsets or something in the guts of this machine -- I'm not a techie -- are designed for Vista and will not accept XP without some serious tinkering at the motherboard/chipset neurosurgery level.

I put together a PC with brand new parts and installed Vista Ultimate about a year ago (Feb'07). Besides for waiting for driver updates at the begining when vista first came out, I have not had a problem with vista until a week ago. I have not installed any new hardware or software. I have a Radeon 1600x I thought it may be the graphics card, I took that out but I still get the same issue. I have been getting blue screen for about a week. I have done system restore, that worked for a few days with the occasional blue screen.

When upgrading from XP Home SP2 and XP Pro 64 Bit either way I cant get it installed, not even from Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Tried first from 32 bit XP Home SP2 and figured the exe to run the setup from within windows was 64 Bit, so I tried upgrading from xp pro 64 bit and while the install does initiate it greys out the option to Upgrade and tells me I need to do a clean install.
I try that using the same upgrade disk, since it appears to give me that option, and after the initial setup steps when it goes to load the installation files it gave me a stop error 0x0000007b. I chose the "load driver" option and loaded the sata controller driver during setup and that took me past that error.
It goes on to go through the rest of the install then I get another blue screen 0x0000000A. I followed all the steps I could think of in Microsoft KB article 935806 with the exception of updating the BIOS and still no luck, since I really want to use that as a absolute last resort. Any Ideas outside of a BIOS update? That might fix it but I just want to make sure there isnt another known issue that anyone is aware of before updating it.

I was thinking about re-installing vista to fix my blue screen problems, and a few other problems that have been going on with my computer lately. I have the installation disc for the same os I'm using now 32 bit vista home premium. If i create a partition in my hard drive and put the folder/files/media i want to KEEP on that partition and reinstall on my current one. will they the files be accessible and i can just copy them back to the new re-installed vista?

When I boot my computer with Vista 64 , I always get a blue screen with the
following error message :
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your
computer. If the screen appears again, follow these steps :
Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driveris identified in
the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for
drivers updates. Try changing video adapters.
Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updated. Disable BIOS memory
options such as catching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to
remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select
Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.
Thecnical informations:
*** STOP: 0x0000007E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFFA600117F603,

Same thing with Windows 7. But, with Vista 32 bits DVD, no problem. I
suspect my DVD burner to be the problem, since it make the hell of a noise
at the startup with Vista 64 an Windows 7 DVD's.
Thank you.

I've been getting the same blue screen as early as attempting to load the Vista install PE environment from the DVD. Would like some specifics as to what that is pointing to. Initially, I had a bad stick of RAM. I have since RMA'd the RAM, and tested the new RAM. I'm not showing any errors with the new RAM. It does it irregardless of 64 bit mode, or 128 bit mode. It does it, when I add a second stick of RAM however.

I have the blue screens problem. I'm not good with computers but a friend of mine told me that vista and webcams hardware are sometimes the problem to the blue screens and I also noticed that it happens when my webcam is open, I have vista 32-bit Operating System. This is what happens: The blue screen appears ( my blue screen is weird because usually theres a lot of text that comes with it but mine is just all blue with nothing on it) after the computer restarts itself.

Business with SP1
Sony laptop, fast core2duo, 4GB
Defender+Avast!
Working beautifully for many months, and then a few
weeks ago this began happening:
Perhaps 2-3 times a week, and with no consistency of circumstances, a blue screen will appear. It might happen while working or when returning from hibernate. There's a countdown as memory is stored, and then a freeze. The only way to recover is to do a hard OFF (5 seconds on the power switch) and restart. When it first happened, I had not installed or changed anything, so I was comfortable doing a restore. It happened again.
It's confusing because the stated cause is inconsistent. I've checked to ensure that all drivers are updated and nothing that's contraVistarian is installed. What analytical steps can I undertake to discover what's causing this, and then to help me make the necessary changes?

This never happened for a couple of days but as I started updating Vista, the Blue Screen Error has been occurring. the Problems Center in Vista advised me to update to SP1 because it said that this issue has been resolved in the latest service pack. After updating, the problem is still here. When i boot Vista up its normal, and operates perfectly. But when the issue of putting my computer on sleep or shutting down/restarting, the Blue Screen appears and restarts my computer so i
have to resort to turning it off manually.

I have a problem with vista 64 ultimate. When i play a game, there is nothing, it never crash or anything. But when i restore games to minimize it half so i can do other stuff, so the game is running in the background on the desktop then it crashes. Like if someone writes a email, and i want to copy the name to a text document, then i restore the game, to get it on the backgroud so i can read the email and write it down. But after 5-10 sec if any game is restored,then my comp crashes.
Once i gotten blue screen of death but it normally goes black screen. Its like vista ultimate 64, cant handle a game running on restored mode, so i can maximize it again for full screen. And that is really annoying. It also shuts out the possibility to play games in windowed mode. If i play a game in windowed mode it dont crash but if i click on a icon like my computer then there is 5-10 sec time before it crashes unless i come fast back clicking on the game again.
Hopefully all get the point of what im saying.

Problem Blue Screen. No new hardware or software installed recently, last Windows vista update was on 01/15. When I start first, PC passes user registration (boots fine) and
does the normal stuff like loading software and starting the wireless internet connection via Netgear, opening some windows/programms I will close. All normal, but than comes a Blue Screen and very fast shut down of system with restart. Hardly can read the message...Look like Blue Screen appears when to much action is going on like opening of IE and Outlook... or open to many windows... or some bad programm/hardware is booting. But when I restart, restart gives a different blue screens and trouble is much earlier or directly after registering to the system.
But all starting or booting turn slower, real slow now. Start in --safe mode with net working-- the PC works, but the PC can't handle heavy workloads, is really slow in action. I cannot open --My pictures-- to see all picture files displyed on screen (2.7 GB) (the process trying to access the files in safe mode is real slow) and when I attempt to transfer the file to a USB stick, the computer is stopping in middle of action (after 50% transfer)..........

I got me a Nvidia Nforce 4 SLI mobo with the Nvidia MCP chip and Vista hates this chip. Anyway, I have installed the Vista Ultimate package 64 bit and 32 bit at different times...both choke badly. I finally set the whole thing aside for many months and decided to come back to it after the OS got some patches and tweaking. Well now I tried it again and still, with all the patches and upgrades...hot fixes and such...still blue screen of death after BSOD.... always it comes back to the MCP and I am getting tired of messing with this, when windows said "Your machine is compatible for Vista!".

My computer recently started crashing, mostly during video games (Crysis, Call of Duty 4), and occasionaly during a movie. The screen goes black, then fills with vertical pinstrips over the entire screen, and the sound 'freezes' like a skipping CD, repeating what was last said or heard over and over rapidly. Ok,... recent changes i've made. I've had a new video card for about a month, but everything worked fine until a week ago.
I installed the two above mentioned video games, which use punkbuster, a product I have no experience with. Incidentaly, the problems began about the time I started using punkbuster. However, I restored the system to a point previous to the punk buster installation, and the system is still crashing. Is it my new video card (ATI Radeon B2 512 HD 2600 xt PCI), or something else.

I am having what seems to be the common problem of trying to run the 64 bit version of crysis and getting a black screen then crash right after launching the game. I have done a lot of searching and did a few of the suggestions like uninstalling the Nvidia Network Access Manager, changed my settings to force vsync both on and off, and set single display performance mode. I have tried both exes in the 64bin file, launching from the vista game explorer and my drivers are up to date. Also like others the 32bit version works fine. I have also reinstalled the game.

I'm new to the forum and not very technical. OS: Vista Home Premium 32 Background: In the last few days, my Vista went horribly wrong - it crashed and I dont know why. I havent added anything new apart from software - BBC iPlayer. Plsu, a lexmark printer driver for an X1100 has never worked - it is not vista approved but the printer has worked. I tried restoring to an older version using my original install CD but it fails. Observation: The PC does startup now but when I click on my account login - I get a blank screen and explorer doesnt display - there is no desktop. If I press Ctrl-Alt-Del - I can see the usual choices...

I've had voltage issues causing my computer to freeze or reboot during games and dvds. Fixed that and the computer was fine after memtest showing no problems. That was late Dec.
A few days ago, the computer would go to a blue screen saying it's dumping physical memory and then automatically reboots. Thinking my harddisk might be collapsing on me (I have a seagate barracuda 7200.11 500Gb HD with the SD15 firmware, the infamous crash friendly HD), I flash the HD with the SD1A firmware from seagate, then it was fine. 2days later, Catalyst started to cause problems by not responding, so I formated the drive and reinstalled vista ultimate, along with Catalyst, drivers from Mobo manufacturer ASUS, plus a couple of other softwares. That was yesterday, and now I'm getting the same blue screen back, or the computer just freezes.

The often heard recurring theme spread by no nothing trolls and fanboys is if Vista isn't working right, it must be something you did rather than owning up to how badly Vista is designed once you start poking around and SEE how badly implemented it is. Much of the frustration with Vista comes from it's applets crashing or acting up for no apparent reason. Since these applets are INTERNAL and built-in as part of Vista's core the often heard excuse it's some third party driver, a hardware problem or other software you installed is proven to be bogus.
When something happens to either crash or slow down Vista it usually gets documented in Vista's Error Logs. However like most everything else Microsoft does, the logs are of little actual value other than pointing to how poorly designed and broken Vista really is.
To illustrate how broken Vista is, here's my experience this morning. As usual I started my day going to Google (my default home page) and clicking on News to see what the headlines were. Microsoft's browser hung. Waiting for it to respond, after 90 seconds I gave up and sure enough was treated to the usual BS asking if you want to wait longer or shut it down. I shut IE7 down. Next I went to Event Viewer......
