Usually when I close the lid of my laptop it restarts and then I get the error message with the blue screen message.
I did turn automatic restart off and I will copy the minidump files so that maybe anybody can tell me what the fault is...
Since last night, whenever I'm trying to shut down the blue screen appears with the message that it's dumping physical memory and starts counting and then restarts the computer! After that I get a message box showing the following:

I even tried to do a System Restore but when the comp shuts down to set up the restore point, blue screen shows up and repeats the whole process. Did a scan with Malware Bytes but still the same. I'm dead scared about the blue screen. Please HELP!!!
My System is 64 bit with 8GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Quad 2.33 GHz Processor with 350 GB hard drive.
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 just built my first computer, I am a relative noob to all of this. I am having some issues that I am not even sure if is caused by Vista or not. I am crashing out of a couple of programs and I am crashing out of windows- as in the system goes to the blue screen and restarts.
What info do I need to tell you in order to have you help me figure this out?
Nothing is oced.

My laptop, running Windows Vista Basic has had its share of blue screens, until recently when they started becoming excessively frequent.A blue screen would occur every 30 minutes (approx). A few weeks ago (before the blue screens became prominent) I took it infor repairs. These past two weeks the blue screens were becoming more and more numerous until they were garunteed to happen roughly 30 minutes after startup.I ran a chkdsk utility, and it told me there were errors and that it couldn't continue. I attempted to use the "restore" feature to set it to the 11/25/2009 restore point. Vista effectively imploded. When my laptop booted up it gave me a black screen, followed by a window with "This copy of Windows Vista is invalid" (I bought my laptop three years ago; it was registered).Followed by a request for a product key. The problem is, I don't have that product key anymore. I also don't know if I'd be able to download Windows 7 in Vista's current crippled state.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI set my power settings to go to sleep upon closing the lid of my laptop, but for some reason over the past few weeks it has decided to randomly restart the computer instead of just going to sleep. This doesn't happen all the time, but with relative frequency. Another problem with it is that every time it does this (meaning everytime it chooses to restart upon closing the lid, not every time I restart otherwise) is that it clears all of my cookies, as well.

my laptop, HP dv2, have a power button on its right side, not over the keyboard like any other model.
so, i think i can turn on windows by sliding the power button anytime - even the lid is closed.
but it is not like that. i can turn on windows when i open the lid only.
i connect my laptop to TV (as dock, via HDMI port) to work and see movies at home.
now, i change the power setting to do nothing when i closing the lid.
its work out, but i still mess up when i thought that i need to open a lid, turn on, and close the lid again!
thank you ^^
I'm running Vista x64 Ultimate on a new Dell XPS 1330. I have set the laptop lid power option to "do nothing" (as I've always done). Whenever I close the laptop lid, however, it looks like the machine attempts to suspend, then it reboots and comes back with the "Windows has recovered from a mighty serious error" message. I've searched and searched and not found any answer to this. All my drivers are up to date, I've WindowsUpdated, and I have no oddball hardware etc.

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?
My friend has a VISTA Medion laptop (I dont have full details to hand but will get this and post latter). It has a problem that has just started to happen over the last two months or so (so they say). It started off that after starting the laptop for the first time after about 5-10 mins it would crash and go to a black screen with a few blue boxes on, the only way to get it back would be to hold the power button till it came on. I had a look at it and updated video drivers, windows and checked for viruses and malware. All of this seemed to do was move the problem to just going to a black screen (like hibernation) but i could not get it out of it unless again using the power button. I have now changed all power settings in basic and advance to off or various different versions of some off some on different times all to no avail. I have also disabled everything other than MS from startup. However this has now resulted in the laptop restarting itself again after 5-10 mins. Again it is only from a cold boot, once it has restarted once it is fine till the laptop is turned off.
Having read a few post i have since updated all the drivers i could think of including sound and network drivers. I have updated the BIOS all with very little change. The current state is that it still restarts but again only off a cold boot but now just before it does the screen goes blank and the mouse cursor gets bigger.So; I have already updated all drivers & the BIOS I have tried power settings including making sure hibernation is active and deactivate. I have disabled startup progs in MSCONFIG I have Virus and malware scanned I do not think it could be overheating as it only happens when the laptop is turned on for the first time and so has not had time to overheat and it would do it more often and not after only 5-10 mins. I have thought it could be the RAM but before spending money on new RAM i wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas. Does anyone know what the main difference is in the boot sequence when it does a cold boot? I forgot to mention the only thing my friend can think changed around about the same time as the problem started is that she started to use the wirless on the laptop.
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've been doing a clean install of Vista x64 for about a week and have been getting many random blue screens of deaths yesterday I did another clean install and only had about 4 drivers or so installed and I got a BSOD but no dump file was created for some reason so I kept installing more drivers and it work for about 4 hours till it crahsed again this time it gave me a dump file so here are the results.......
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'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.
I have a question about my laptop which I was hoping someone can solve for me please? I have a 3" (approx) black line running down the right hand side of my screen and a 1" (approx) black line running across the bottom of my screen and am not sure what this means!? It's not dead pixels as I can see everything as normal (e.g the clock in the right hand corner) but it just looks like someone has comressed the screen into a smaller space and I cannot move the mouse into these black areas.
It is also the same when I go to the BIOS. Not sure if this is a regular problem with Acers (mine's an Aspire 3690) but I cannot find anything on the internet about it? I restored the system to factory settings but was still the same. Sometimes goes back to a full screen (however hasn't done it for a while though) and I have linked it to a monitor and the screen is full and does not have any black lines.
I commonly get a blue screen. So how do I solve this problem 2ndly, whenever I play music on my WMP, the computer may just hang on me, giving all but zzzz buzzes and the whole screen shows lines.

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.
So my laptop was stolen at the airport, and I'm sure there is no way I can get it back....but how easy will it be for them to try to get pass the password protection I had on it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've had pretty good luck with vista so far but every so often it will blue screen on me and I cant figure out why. The scenario is
1. System startup from power off condition
2. System boots to login screen
3. Blue screen referencing processor timing or something
I have not overclocked or anything everything is vanilla. I would also note that I run hardware diagnostics utilities and it seems fine. Also, I never get the message about abnormal system termination like ususal. How can I get a clue as to what is going on here. So far it seems like the error is bogus, I can log in and the machine will run for days with no problem.
I'm having a problem with Windows Vista Home Premium, whenever I go to select a profile "Administrator" or "AL". AL gives me a black screen with an error message "Windows Explorer has encountered and error and had to close", it also says "Host Process has encountered and error and needs to close", after opening Task Manager. If I try to open explorer.exe through Task Manager, it stops working, and I can't get anything else working either it just has the same problem.

Should I take the battery out and try and re-install it or is this something that a computer expert will have to sort out. Its such a pain.
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.

It was a nice day (September 2007) and i opened my Windows Vista 32bit Home Premium Laptop, my desktop appeared just fine and while Nod32 was trying to load, my wagtail mouse stopped moving its tail, few seconds later, the "famous" BSOD appeared!
I didnt care really since i could format, ok then i formated. 5 months after the format i was having some crashes, e.g i clicked on Photoshop and the taskbar froze then the same happened to the start button and then the whole desktop! I restarted but i couldn't use Photoshop anymore. Few days later i dragged and dropped something in the recycle
bin and guess what? Yea thats right! I got a Blue Screen! I was freaked out and mad! So then i formated again. Now 2 months later, May of 2008 i opened my laptop and Nod warned me that the dll files of Adobe Flash, Nero and PowerDVD were viruses and that the svchost.exe tried to open them. I ignored them since i knew that the svchost.exe goes crazy sometimes. Then it stopped doing it but i started having crashes like the one i said before the second BSOD. Today i received 4 more crashes but the last one was deadly! I mean like, i only clicked on windows live messenger and vista made that BEEP sound, then everything was frozen,even the mouse!
I'm running Vista Home Premium x64, and got a BSOD yesterday after updating KB915597. I understand that this is just the Windows Defender definition update, and that they recycle the KB#, and I found some posts on this forum from a few months back regarding the issue...I never had it before, but this time, it's got me.
I did a System Restore to before the update, then changed Windows Update settings to "notify but don't download or install." My question is this: Will it ever be safe for me to re-enable Windows Update, or will I always have to do it manually from now on because of this one incompatible update?
