Blue Screen: It Metioned If You Have Any New Hardware Installed Make Sure All Drivers Are Installed
Jun 29, 2009
let me start this nightmare story i had just done a fresh restalled and spent hours on getting everything installed on pc all was fine working perfectly untill that is i installed vista service pack 1 from windows updates the update process crashed halfway through so i had the only option to restart my pc then came the blue screen of death and it metioned if you have any new hardware installed make sure all drivers are installed etc etc of course i know it wasnt hardware it was because of me restating my pc half way threw the service pack 1 and the full files not been installed threw the update process crashed was the reason for the blue screen but the blue screen had notes advising me to clear shadow memory in the bois and any other memory so i stupidly assumed this was channel mapping and bank mapping and put them all to zero please see jpeg of what i changed i basically disabled everything that was enabled and put all the mapping channels and bank channels to zero and now when i switch on my laptop i get a blank screen with no post no ...........
I upgraded from 2GB DDR2-SDram to 4 gb (2) DDR2-SD RAM. Now everytime I start my computer I get the blue screen for a split second, the the computer reboots itself. It does this about 3 times untill it finally boots up. when it boot up everything is totally normal.
I learnt from this forum that Vista comes with Directx 10 included. Great - however I tried to install a PC game for my son (Playstation Castaways) and it keeps complaining that none of the Direct x 9 drivers are installed and it cant continue.
i bought new devices and started built new pc from scratch..installed the drivers,installed vista home prenium 32-bit but i get too many crashes..Down i show u one of them that i get from one game
my computer used to see(recognize) my memory (SD)cards before,then it just stopped one faithful day.actually i have this software that on activation,it tells me the drivers my computer needs.and ever since i downloaded and installed this drivers it has stopped working(my SD card reader).
when i check device manager the SD memory card shows this yellow marking on it and when i double-click on it,it tells me ,THIS DEVICE CANNOT START(CODE10).i have tried uninstalling,i have even tried upgrading,but none of them worked. i use a Dell laptop,VOSTRO1510.
I have a Samsung 2253LW wide screen monitor and the highest resolution i can get is an appauling 1280x960. I just took my computer for repair to get a new GFX card and in there shop with my comp running through an old school CRT 15inch monitor i can get a resolution of 1600x1200. As soon as i plug it back into my Samsung at home it can only reach 1280x960 againb. I have contacted Samsung and they are useless as usual. I have the latest Samsung and Nvidia drivers installed.
It take minutes to click on anything. I have installed my Motherboard drivers and my GPU drivers to little effect. What is additional steps I can take to speed it up. Is it worth downloading the updates. If I do that it will probably take all afternoon. Plus I'll have to log off this computer.
We recently set up my husband's E1705 (with Vista), instead of my older and slower (painfully slow at times) 1150 (with XP). I installed the 'drivers and utilities' software from CD onto the 1705. After many attempts with no printing, I now see that neither the printer nor our digital camera are on the 'compatible' list for Vista. Is there anything that we can do so that we don't have to use my computer exclusively when we want to print or upload digital pics?
My vista keeps locking up after various amounts of time, no matter whether its just idling, or im making the computer work hard. As ive read on other topics, I think its a driver issue, but I just dont know what to do. I will try another fresh vista install tomorrow and get the vista updates quickly to see whether that helps the situation. I have ensured it isnt overheating like it did initially when I bought the system, and it is now a safe and low temperature in a running state. Also, it only detects 3.5Gb of the 4Gb of RAM I have in my system. PC Spec:
Ive re-installed, windows, and it froze after I installed the chipset driver. I contiuned, and found a sound driver wasnt digitally signed. However it still crashes. I have got the latest drivers for it. For it to crash, all i did was open recycle bin, from idle state.
I shouldn't be surprised but here goes....I checked today for SP1 on windows update.. According to my computer no updates available however updates were last installed on 03/13/08 and yet when you look at installed updates it shows a windows defender update installed today. I have been reading several posts on this problem and have noticed that Carey Frisch posted a link to troubleshoot and now here is a problem and that is none of these apply to me... Once again Go figure!! Running Vista Business 32bit here in the good old USA and of course the English versionVista is and has always been updated right on schedule....
I went and intalled 5381.1 beta and i installed well after i did It went through fine but when i get done I just have a black desktop with no start bar or anything...i do have a cursor though..and i also the the Beta 2 thing at the bottom. If anyone has had this problem please tell me how to fix it.
my computer showing white screen. I maybe turn it on and a few minutes later it's completely white. Sometimes it showes first stripes, black and white. I've googled it but not found much so I went here to ask. For about 2 months ago I had problem with BSOD but re-installed Vista and it was OK. My computer is Packard Bell SB87 (something like that, not sure) and with Vista Home Premium.
Vista installed fine and everything works fine until, a piece of software asked to restart. Now I have to hope that is boots. Because when it the boot process reaches the microsoft corporation and finishes, the system gives a blank screen and hangs. If I wait long enough, 15+ minutes, it finally boots with the vista logo on the second screen and logon password on the first screen. This is a new pc, just built, I should not have this problem. The pc has an integrated nvidia 9400 with 9800gt. Can it be a grahics card problem? I used the cd to install the drivers that came with the 9800gt.
i just got this nice gaming computer and tried to play UT3 and LOTRO and both of them won't play, they both load up a launch screen and freeze there! UT3 installed but won't start, and lotro stays at the launch 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?
In November I upgraded my system with Vista Ultimate. When it was returned to me I followed each prompt and did everything during installation it asked of me. Now 5 months later is states that I need to validate. I guess whatever was running on my system was temporary. Does anyone know that if I purchase a new product key this will solve my issue or do I have to purchase a full version? If I do have to purchase a full version can it be installed over my already installed and running vista on my system?
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.......
I have an AMD Comuter. Motherboard ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe WL CPU AMD 5600+ Graphic Card nVideia Ge Force 8600 GT And I had 4 GB DDR2 800 NANYA. All of the sudden, yesterday the computer presentation after the boot showed 3.076 GB when before was showing 4.096 GB. I decided to buy new and Better RAM I bought OCZ2P8004GK, which is consisting of 2 GB every slot. I put 4 of them hoping to see 8 GB, but I still see 3. In the Bios, the MOBO see 8 GB. Why I cannot see in Vista Ultimate 64? And what I can do?
like to how to check and see if i have sp 1 installed in my pc. and do i really need it. i did check in symtem tools information [value] but it is not listed in there. so is that mean that it not installed. i did put a new hhd on the 26 of last month and installed vista.
Several weeks ago I installed Vista Ultimate (from Technet) with the SP1 beta integrated. Now I have later version of SP1 in the form of a stand-alone installer. When I try to install it I get a message saying that SP1 is already installed. How can I install the later version of the service pack? I'd prefer not to do a complete reinstall from my original Vista non-SP disk.
I installed the latest drivers for my 8800 Ultra 768mb, and i have installed the latest patch (1.0.02 or what ever its called, the latest one basicly) and but have no luck with SLI. Do i need to roll back to the driver Nvidia 180.84, bare in mind i have had hardly any probs with the game since installing the latest drivers form Nvidia(part form some lag and chopines - but will be overclocking my quad form 2.5 to 3.0.
I have just received my HP Pavillion with Vista Home Premium and I was checking the system to see if everything was installed as I requested. I'm confused about the RAM. In System Properties, the Memory (RAM)3071 MB, but I ordered 4 GB. Why is only 3 GB listed in the stats? When I questioned tech support, they said that the proper way to check total amount of RAM would be when you start up the computer and tap F(10) for "set-up". When I did that, it showed 4 GB. Tech support said that when you look up the RAM on the OS, you dont get the total amount installed b/c some is being used. Is this correct? I've had horrible experiences with HP tech support so I'm a little sceptical.
I am trying to install an electronic edition of Britannica. Previously, it took about 10 minutes, using 2 CDs on XP Pro.
I did a major upgrade for but did not replace my DVD, CD, Power Supply, or Floppy.
My board is an Intel DG33FB My chip is an Intel Core 2 Dual (e4500) I have 2 GB DDR 667 and one mal-partitioned SATA drive. The Vista portion has 167 GB.
Today, it took aver three hours to copy merely 329 MB of data onto the other partition using my HP 940i DVD writer. the program was not even half done, BTW I got several gray-out screens in the process. I could not do any other work because the darn machine hung.
I have recently bought a new computer from acer with vista and it came with a posiblility to upgrade to win7 (http://www.acer.com/windows7upgrade), but i have a slight problem.
I need to specify which language vista is installed inn or it won't work, i figured it would be norwegian (as i am from norway), but allmost all the menus are in english as well as everything in the start menu ("Computer" instead of "Datamaskin" etc...).
I was wondering if there is an easy way to figure out which language the OS is installed in.
Im not sure if I should put this under update probelms or what, but Im highly confused. I downloaded the Malicious Software Removal Tool, thru Windows Update. (Not a pop up online) After it was done with the update, it restarted my computer, and when it was done, I discovered that it had UN INTSALLED the speakers. The new software hadnt even run yet, so I doubt it had anything to do with that. When I click on the volume icon on my task bar, it says that there is "No Audio Output Device Installed"
Just rebooted med pc, but cant update my videocard. I have a Geforce 8600M GT 51. But when i go to Videosettings, it says VGA-Videocard. I got a drivers cd from my sellsman. When i load i got a lot of drivers to choose. I select "VIDEO" - producer "NVIDA". I download it, and run. It pops-up "Proceed" so yes. But afterwards nothing happens. - The setup vil not run. - so im lost with nothing. Games like Counter-Strike only runs in software mode
Well, theoretically, i purchased Fallout 3 recently and the installation requires x86 architecture to continue. I plan on running vmware with x86 xp pro platform to confirm that it cannot be installed on 64-bit. Although, every recent game seems to run fine under vista ultimate x64.. and considering fallout3 is very new, you think it would work aok =/
I read the instructions about installing SP1 and found out that three critical updates are needed before installing. I don't have an internet connection and have been going to friend to download things I need. Then I transfer them on a memory stick and install them. I downloaded the three updates, but then found out that there is a problem on some computers with KB937287, which causes the computer to endlessly reboot. Then it was withdrawn from the MS site. So now I am not sure whether to install any of these or not. Then I posted this question on various forums. One said that I don't need the three critical updates if I am installing the standalone version on SP1 because they are included in that version. Another one said I can't update Vista at all if I don't have my own internet connection. I am not sure what to do
