my problem being stuck at the blue/green screen while making a new fresh install.) Well I first signed up because I have was having install problems. When it got to the blue/green screen it wouldnt do anything. But what do u know.. right when I was typing this it starts to load and Im now on my way installing windows vista 64 bit! (cause I just recently bought 8gb of memory) Well... I guess I would explain my story since Im a newbie... and something for you guys to read.. Well my computer really needed a new HDD because for some reason my old one would always get curupted after like so many months... about 2-3 months? I was wow **** this. I wasnt sure why it was doing this. But my computer was only on a surge so I think maybe a couple power outages ****ed it up. (I already fixed that problem though, just bought a battery from newegg.com, when I bought more things, like my new hdd, memory, mouse and mouse pad.)
so finally my memory and windows vista x64 bit dvd came into the mail. As soon as I got em... I installed the memory then I wanted to upgrade my version of windows xp 32bit (I must say a really good OS at the moment, till when windows 7 comes out) So I tried just throwing in the cd and found out I couldnt upgrade that way. Because I got an error that said "somethin, cant remember the full message but bascially because I couldnt run 64bit dvd when I have 32bit" so no biggie right? Then I was like ok well I can just install it by booting up. I got passed the part that said "Now loading windows vista files" alright not bad... so far so good. But damn I was wrong when I got to the blue/green background. I noticed the dvd wasn't spinning my computer was just sitting there. It was frozen though since I could still move the mouse. So I was like oh man... cmon vista... Well I waited a little bit not to much though cause I think it should just pop up and start working. It wasnt doing that so I knew something was wrong......
The little blue circle start button, i want to change the color of that to green instead of blue, and the taskbar i want to change to a silver, like how it was in the XP Theme "Silver", i've read elsewhere that there is no XP Theme which i dont want, i just want to change the colors to green and silver, not blue and black, is there anyway i can do this?
I'll admit it. First of all the specs: Gateway GM5664 desktop computer running Vista Home Premium 32bit. AMD Phenom 9600 quad core processor BluRay/HDDVD player ATI Radeon HD 3650 1gb graphics card (which I just upgraded to.) 46" Samsung 1080p LCD HDTV (yeah, I know, using a TV as a monitor, maybe that's the issue.) Resolution is set at 1920x1080 I have updated the drivers to ATI's newest available. My display issues are as follows. Basically, my display seems to be pixellated on the login screen. At the vista login screen I can see blocks where it transitions from blue to green. The display doesn't look very "crisp" or "clear" like it does on my IBM laptop (set at 1400x1050) with a 64mb graphics card. Say in Firefox along my bookmarks toolbar, there is some haloing around the text. Also, some text seems blocky instead of smooth, even though cleartype is enabled.
all day I've been trying to sort this out but to no avail. I've searched Google like crazy, and whilst I've found that others have had this issue there's been no real resolution. My system boots all the way up to the point of the loading bar, then it goes blue screen and restarts. I've found that it loads up in safe mode, and I can access all my drives (I've tried unplugging external devices), and I'm 99% certain that running a system restore would fix the issue. HOWEVER, safe mode revokes me of all rights to perform any system based tasks, so obviously it won't allow me to run system restore, regedit, pretty much anything. Here's what I've tried so far:
-Running system repair through a boot disk, it didn't find anything wrong
-I tried running system restore through the boot disk but apparently there weren't any restore files (which isn't true)
I keep getting a quick blue screen. (not blue screen of death). It restarts so it has something to do with system failure. I've tried switching hard driver but the same problem happens. It just randomly turns blue when im browsing or playing games. it doesnt happen if i let the laptop just sit there.
I am building this mach from scratch, so I picked Vista hardware.Such as:Abit IP35v mobo, Intel P4-D 930, OCZ Pc 6400 DDR2 2x2gig(4gig) and MSI NS8500GT TD256E-OC PCIe 16x video.Pioneer DvD DL writer SATA.Others: Rosewill RAID PCIe 1x controller w/2ea Seagate 250G SATA2 HD, 2ea TV tuners 550 Theater Pro, Fatal1ty X-Fi sound..The only hardware items migrating to the New box, from my old box, is the TV tuners & X-Fi sound brd... all PCI devices..I am trying to install Vista from scratch, I purchased an OEM copy of Home Premium. After wrestling with trying to find a Partitioning prog that would Boot from a SATA DvD ROM, I plugged my PATA model in and was able to partition the RAID volume... But got a Blue screen saying something about "my system was halted to save it from damage, etc" stopped at 0x0000012(0x00000000,0x8BC50028,0x000000,0x00000000)...
When I Booted from Vista CD, and started the install... That was with all hardware in place..I have removed everything, now I have Mobo, mem, CPU/ sink, video, PATA DvD & 1ea SATA HD, partitioned w/ Pri NTFS Bootable, on port 1..I still get Blue screen, but the numbers are alittle differant..Only the numbers changed to 0x8BD9DD18..The install goes as far as Displaying "Microsoft Corp" with a green strobe L>R... and then Blue screens about 1-2mins into the install... or should I say after the strobe appears..Any ideas? I have tried a differant video card, but it Blue screens almost emediatly when the green strobes starts up... with different numbers again.0x8BD50028.
I've got Win Vista Home Premium SP1. Up until recently, when i chose System Restore it came up with a calander-like window and then i was able to choose the day i wanted my sistem restored to. Then a few days ago I experienced a crash, and it took my pc a while to check my disk (the only one, since it's a laptop).
That's the checking:
Then i manged to enter Vista again, and i thought i'd just restore again, hoping nothing was wrong. And when i clicked System Restore it took absolutely AGES to open (the rest of the stuff worked/s well...) and when it eventually opened i got that:
And now, if i choose "Choose a different restore point", i get this:
Where has the calender gone? Where are my previous restore points??? What's wrong?
Then, yesterday i was checking bbc's webpage and i came across this article: Click
I am having a problem with a blue screen occurring approximately every second time I start my computer. Ater completing a startup repair including a system restore I get this message on my desktop:

I bought this computer on 3-5-08. This started on 3-16-08 and has occurred about 1x - 3x per day since then. I have tried system restore, several times, back as far as I could go, but it didn't help. I have also ran all of the diagonstic tools I can find on my computer and it has passed them. (By the way, I am not very computer savvy.) Here is one examples of what it is telling me:

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.
I have my laptop(Vista Home premium 32 bit) fine and running from past 1 and half year. Suddenly from 5 days I am facing 'Display driver nvlddmkm failed and restore successfully'. Don't know when and why this happens.So I thought of restoring my system to 5 days back.I selected System restore back up point to 23rd of September,09.During this process something got messed up and when restarted it is showing 'blue screen' . Nothing else is visible.I'm able to login through safe mode.but don't know what to do with this. I also tried to do system repair. But no use.Ended up with same. Tried to do system restore again. Even if I want to reinstall Vista, manufacturer has not provided any backup cd with my laptop.
After today's windows update I've been experiencing many blue screen, especially after the reboot. I don;t get any in safe mode so I guess it's a driver problem. This is the minidump created on my system. I have 7 of them and they all seem to be the same.

I started out with Vista Ultimate on my new PC i get every now and than the famous BSOD. My PC is running 24x7 so most of the times it happens when I'm not sitting behind the pc. in the beginning (2 months ago) it happend about once a day, after a few later updates is only happend about once every 4 or 5 days.The only thing noticable I see is that after the PC rebooted from the BSOD the wireless network is not working (Siemens Gigaset USB Adapter 108) that is easily resolved by unplugging the USB connecter and plug it in again.
Yesterday I installed the Windows Updates that where published on April 8th, with the result that the BSOD now occured every 2 hours (not exactly but more or less) and after the third time I decided the uninstall all the security updates from that batch that i could uninstall. There were a few other updates but Office related that I left installed and on security update that I was unable to uninstall (the prereq update for SP1: KB938371). After rebooting the pc it has so far worked perfectly again for approx 20 hours.I have no clue of what migth be causing the problem,
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?

I recently got a blue screen in Windows vista (while I was working in a terminal Server session) and would like to know anyone can help me determine the cause of it?

I'd like to put a little disclaimer out here: I know very little about computers. I can navigate my way around them as needed for personal/school usage. Outside of that, my knowledge is spotty. Most of the technical stuff I need done on my computer is done by my father over breaks/weekends, because I can't leave my laptop with the Tech guys at my school since I take notes for every class on it.
So now for the computer... Oi. The computer I have is a Dell Inspiron 1420. I got it back in May. It's running Vista Home Premium 32BIT, and I'm using Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 (I don't know if that is relevant or not, but I'll include it just the same). Since I've gotten it, I've had more problems than I can count. The last problem I had before the current one (random BSODs), was a corrupt file on my computer (Dell Support Center). It wouldn't let me download or install anything, and I had to install SystemMechanic on my computer to get rid of the corrupt files/registries (I think. My father actually did this for me.) The SystemMechanic allowed me to uninstall/delete the corrupt file, and voila, it worked! For about two weeks.
Then I started getting blue screens of death. At first it was only one, and there were a few days/week and a half until I got another. And now, in the past two days, I've gotten at least two (I have left my computer sitting on my desk to do something and I have come back to find it "magically" rebooted and waiting for my login, or stuck on the black screen with the blinking underscore).
I downloaded a film ( a backup o one of my DVD's it has got scratched and I really wanted to see it as well. Anyway when I did I opened up the video file into windows media player, it asked me to get some rights/ acquisitions to play the file. As the message was coming from windows media player I guess hmm it must be true. Usually I wouldn't if anything asked me to download anything. As it finished windows media message came up with a message to say it was downloaded correctly. So I checked task manager making sure it was actually windows media player and it was. When I tried playing the file it wouldn't play.
Whatever it downloaded hadn't taken effect yet. Then I blue screened. My laptop wouldn't boot up normally. So I tried booting up with " last good configuration" it booted up but I found out what had happened. All my programmes were "corrupted" something to do with the registry according to the 60 pop up messages saying each and every programme had been corrupted.........
A few days ago my display settings would not save and each time I restarted my computer they were different. I thought it would not get any worse however now when i start my computer the screen goes black just after the green loading bar. The computer is still on because it makes hard drive noises and my quickplay buttons are blue but the computer does not respond. It starts in safemode but it won't start normally. I have Vista Home Premium 32 Bit with Service Pack 1. Any help would be greatly appreciated to get rid of this black screen.
Wondering if anyone has a suggestion. When importing a DVR-MS file recorded using Windows Media Center into Windows Movie Maker, in order to convert it to a more compact WMV file, a green screen shows up in the preview pane on the right-hand side. The audio works -- but only green shows.
It's strange because the DVR-MS file plays fine within Windows Media Center.
System is a Dell XPS 410 running an ATI Radeon x1600 pro with the latest Certified driver from Windows Update (8.391.0.0 dated 6/26/2007).
There is a later driver available from ATI, 8.9, but before taking the risk up upgrading the driver, wonder if there's another setting that may be causing the green screen?
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've recently got attacked by some sort of virus malware and my AVG instantly asked me to reboot. After I rebooted and loaded the green loading bar, my entire screen turned black without the windows badge.When I clicked on the restart button, I'm able to get inside safe mode, network and command prompt but not start windows normally.. I've also tried chkdsk command but it showed 0 bad file.
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...
Last night my pc was running fine and just before I went for some shut eye put my pc into sleep mode today I woke my pc only for it not to allow me to log on, mouse movement only nothing was clickable so after a short while I decided to reset upon boot I got the green loading bar but then a black screen after about 20 mins I gave up and tried a restore last good config.... Yeah nice one it bsod on me At 55% chkdsk and now I get a windows boot manager error file: ootcd
I tried Bootrec /RebuildBcd but it brings back an error that it can not create the new file as the file already exists. I'm not having much luck with the recovery disk for repair options as it can't seem to find the OS and brings back errors of can not recover everything seems on a go slow and ubuntu can't find my c drive even tried spin right and that can't recover a bad sector I'm at a loss as to what to do befor the fresh install option I'm on my last option to try use a back up store disk
Once vista boots from the cd it goes to a windows is setting up files,then goes to a black screen where there is a lilttle green bar moving. Now right after that it goes to a blueish screen where there is just the mouse cursor on the screen and just stays there? This is on all new hardware. Also this is a sata hard drive,
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.......
First after doing an ordinary restart, my vista (ultimate) gets stuck for a LONG time at the loading screen and does not move, with the green loading bars. this happens every time i try to restart. i pop in my original vista disk and start the repair process...it says it found something wrong with my startup and it found what was wrong and that it was repaired. after this i get the message NTLDR, which is a whole nother problem. i ran the below to fix the NTLDR...
1. Put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer. 2. Press a key when you are prompted. 3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next. 4. Click Repair your computer............
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.
