Upgrading To Ultimate X64: Blue Screen 0x0000000A
Oct 24, 2007
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 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.

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.

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?

I am attempting to upgrade from XP Professional 64 Bit to Vista Ultimate 64 bit. I dowloaded the upgrade software from the Microsoft digital locker and I get the following error when I attempt to run the install. "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

I have read a lot of threads in the forums to try to get to the bottom of my issue, but I have not found a true answer. I am running XP Pro and trying to upgrade to Vista Ultimate. I have ran the advisory many times and it stated my computer is ok.
No issues were detected for these system components. The following table contains system components that meet the minimum hardware requirements needed for Windows Vista.........

The college does not have vista ultimate upgrade SP1 to match my home premium SP1. So, it sounds like I can not remove SP1 at home. Correct? Can I load SP1 for ultimate first before I try upgrading? I know that sounds funny, but a lady at MS Software replacement said to ask this question.

How do you upgrade from Premium to Ultimate if the Premium version number is newer than the Ultimate version number? When I try the upgrade to the Ultimate DVD, the install says that the Premium install is a "newer operating system" and then only allows a clean install, which isn't much fun. Is there any way to tell the install to ignore the version numbers and just do it?

i have a dell m1330 laptop, about 2 months old. Specs are> Intel core2 duo cpu t7500@2.20ghz 3gigs ram 220gigs HD It came installed with vista home premium but yesterday i bought the vista ultimate upgrade dvd. I inserted the dvd and upgraded as per instructions. It was completed without any problems.I've installed all important updates and rebooted the computer many times.
Now my laptop runs really slow, takes a longer time to boot up -about 3 or 4 mins now. In my sidebar i have a CPU meter and usually both cores run at less than 50 percent but now it jumps around 90-100%?? The graph looks like a lie detector when charles manson answered no to the question if he killed anyone??!! BTW im not running anything except firefox? Why is this so and how can i fix it?

My friend just gave me his Vista Ultimate upgrade disk key to upgrade my vista home premium to ultimate version. Now, I have the key, but no upgrade disk. What I have however is a x86 Vista Ultimate disk, that I downloaded from microsoft MSDN website. From what I know, this disk is for a brand new and clean install of vista ultimate.
Can I use this disk to upgrade my home premium to ultimate. I certainly dont want to loose my programs/files on my current laptop, so I absolutely dont want a clean install, and am afraid to mess things up if I accidentally use wrong disk. So can I use the MSDN downloaded vista ultimate disk to perform the upgrade or should I buy a upgrade disk from somewhere?

Trying to upgrade my new Toshiba Satellite laptop from 64 bit VISTA Home Premium to 64 bit VISTA Ultimate Have plenty of space on C: drive - 150GB with approx 50GB used and 100 GB free
While in Home Premium, I insert and run the VISTA Ultimate CD Select upgrade I have it connected to internet so it can retrieve updates. It goes though the process of upgrading but ends with a message similar to Windows could not configure one or more system components. It then reverts back to Home Premium. I have tried performing the upgrade both before and after installing updates to Home Premium- no difference..........

I could use a second opinion. I've got a HP DV9000 laptop. It runs really well with Home premium on it, but I am considering upgrading to Ultimate so I can use the Remote Desktop and the Backup features. What I am concerned about is if Ultimate will slow down my system or cause me any other problems? I know there's a hack available to make Remote Desktop work on home premium and other backup products too. But it seems like the upgrade would make more sense.

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 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.

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'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 have a brand new vaio and when I shut it down last night it "hung" - so finally I switched it off at the plug. Today I cannot get anything other than a blue screen.
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?

I found this forum while googling for my problem with no look. I recently upgraded from Windows XP Professional 64 to Windows Vista Ultimate 64 - and I love Vista!
What kills the whole experience is that I can't play my favorite game (Grand Theft Auto IV) cause it ALWAYS get a BSOD within 20 minutes of playing. I don't think i Have a hardware problem as everything worked just fine in XP. The BSODs came the same day as I installed Vista, but only in GTA IV. See BSOD message and screenshot below.
I don't know if this is a problem isolated to GTA IV, but it's the only time I've seen it happen. I've played World of Warcraft and Left 4 Dead for hours without any hangups at all.
The error code:
0x00000101(0x0000000000000061.0x0000000000000000.0xFFFFFA60005Ec180.0x0000000000000001)
