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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have vista buisness, and it won't load. I have to restart at least twice and restart it via safe mode. I am a real noob when it comes to this so please forgive this novice question. Does anyone have an idea whats wrong with it or a route i can take to attempt to find out whats wrong? It gives me a black screen and won't load for a while. I noticed after i posted someone on this forum had the same problem. Are there any updates to that problem?
View 9 Replies View RelatedHad some issues with my mouse (USB device not recognized), and had an occasional time where computer would not respond after going into sleep mode and I'd have to hit the power button. Seemed to become more frequent, and then this. Only recent event was installing SP1 for Vista, but problem was already appearing prior to that.
I'm not able to boot the computer, getting the "carpet texture" on my screen and it freezes up, not able to finish booting. Ran dell diagnostics, indicated no hardware issue and no new hardware installed. I do have a blue tooth phone now, but have not syncd them up. Ran memory diagnostic tool, no memory issues..............
All new accounts I create on Vista home premium do not login properly. When a user logs in the explorer.exe process does not start (the user just sees blank blue screen). It is possible to launch the task manager and start processes by hand. I found a suggestion on another post that said there was an incorrect "Shell" registry entry that could be the cause of the problem, but that was not the case here. The Shell key is correctly set to "explorer.exe". If the users log in under safe mode, the desktop loads correctly.

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?
im new to this forum, my computer is running fast but for some reason recently its taking a very long time for the web pages to load up, it starts up quick and everything but i think it might be something ive done, it might be something simple, i recently cut out stuff from the STARTUP menu so its quicker on loading and ive done disck defrag and cleanup and all that, can someone tell me if ive deleted something or what to look for, im running AOL, it was ok before but was running a little slower than normal, its running fast now it just the web pages wont fire up and when i click on a link again it takes a long time, the blue bar does not load at all then suddenly about a minute or so later it loads really quickly,
View 8 Replies View RelatedProblem 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 have a Toshiba laptop with 2Gb Ram, running Vista. I have no major problems, but my pc does seem to take a long time to start up and to load / run large files, and sometimes seems to go into a coma. I use CCleaner and Defraggler, and I uninstall/delete anything that I dont need. But my pc does seem to be struggling sometimes. I could add another 2Gb Ram, or I could upgrade to Windows 7 (which I read has much lower overheads??). Or perhaps I should buy a new PC? My question is, how do I decide what the best route is??
View 9 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 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.
I turned off my computer yesterday then turned it on again and switched it off again using the power switch repeatedly yesterday in a span of a few mins. I then went out for a day and when i came back home and tried to boot my computer again vista wouldnt load the login screen. I changed my loading screen and it gets past that alright but when it gets to the logon screen everything just turns black?

View 4 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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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 want to put more ram on my PC & I don't know where I can found out how much it can take. I tried crucial.com/uk but everytime I try to run the scan, my PC gets
the blue screen.
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)
