Startup : Blue Screen Error
Mar 17, 2008
with windows vista ultimate x64 and some other programs like anti virus pre installed. I started to have problems after a few days with the display driver nvlddmkm.sys and blue screen error IRQL not_less_than_or_equal_to. After trying many things like the new nvida drivers i gave up and used system restore to just after Vista was installed and before the drivers were installed. I was wondering if people could point me in the right direction so to avoid these apparently common problems in the future. Is there any updates or dowloads that should be obtained first. i was thinking the most recent nvida driver as the first thing to do.

I have an Alienware M15x and am very cautious about installing anything on my computer. After some recent browser trouble I installed all the vista updates I could find. problem solved. This switched on the automatic updater so today when I logged on I received a message saying there was an update available so I decided I would get this last one before I switched it off. It downloaded installed and then shut down. Now I can't restart the computer at all. No safe modes work all I get is the blue screen with error message 0000000007E. I have tried a couple of recovery disks One wants to re-install windows and the other wants to restore the original factory setup. Please help I don't want to spend the next two weeks of my spare time re-installing everything. the things to destroy my computer I didn't think it would be microsofts own update

If in the event you have a Bluescreen first try this:~ A driver is a program that controls a device. Every device, whether it be a printer, disk drive, or keyboard, must have a driver program. Many drivers, such as the keyboard driver, come with the operating system. For other devices, you may need to load a new driver when you connect the device to your computer. So, if you added a new device or updated your computer you will very likely need to update your drivers...
Goto Start click on it
Goto Computer right click on it
Click on manage
Click continue
This opens a new window called 'computer management' Scroll down to device manager and click on it. On the screen is a list of all your 'DEVICES' start at the top and work your way down Right click on each device and click on properties. Up pops a little window that says this below:~ Click this bar to view the full image. Click on drivers Then click on update... Then do that for every driver and you should not have a Blue screen... Do this once a month!

New behavior. Never done before. I start up as usual....I get a blue screen. Nothing else. Nothing loads. Not a BSOD. A blue screen. Nice and pleasing. But, still....a blue screen. So I shut it down and restart. Takes longer than normal, screen stays black longer than normal but eventually gives me the Windows logo and WELCOME which means I'm in.

I've got this major bluescreen issue. Two days ago, I just restarted my pc for no particular reason, and when it was about to start it gives me this bluescreen. It starts up, I get the loading bar, but then bluescreen. I tried to chose any of the safe modes, but none of them work, just gives me the bluescreen again. To sum all this, I can?t start my computer due to a bluescreen issue, not even with safemodes. It gives me alot of text, but the screen dissappears after a few seconds so I can?t even read two lines. I'm running a HP Pavilion m8055.sc with Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit

I have a hp laptop dv6871us and it had got the blue screen saying registory error or something like that. I went to safe mode to see if it would work and it did. After running programs like ccleaner and malwarebytes the blue screen didnt show up anymore. But the problem is, that alot of thing are all messed up now. For example, the brightness wont go up or down, i'm missing the battery icon (on the device manager it has that little excalmation mark next to it), when i turn on laptop the mouse (not the touchpad) wont work after a couple of minutes, which never use to happen like this. it also wont open some programs like google chrome. I have windows 7 installed also and when i boot into that one, everything works perfectly...

I recently bought a computer which I built by myself with some friends, and I have had some problems. Upon installation of Windows Home Premium 64 bit, I receive blue screen error messages. Usually they happen when I am trying to open a file, or if I am installing updates for anything. It either goes to a blue screen, or it will completely freeze, and I'll have to reboot. Sometimes upon rebooting, my computer will get stuck in between the loading screens for Vista, it will get past the Microsoft Corporation loading bar, but get stuck on a black screen before the vista symbol shows up. I have some friends that think its my RAM, because I have had 2 sticks of ram in, totaling 4gb, and others think its the Video card. below is a list of all my components.

I have bought a lacie 1tb external hd (designed by neil poulton, for those playing at home) and have had a great deal of trouble recently. now im no tech expert, but am reasonable at sorting stuff like this out. i plug it in, and immediately have trouble getting the device to be recognised. I can get it to happen however. I then go to transfer files etc to the hd and that usually brings on a system crash or a blue screen error quoting bad_pool_header. I went to the microsoft site and was informed that i had to install sp1 and sp2. neither would install. I was also told to install some other file (about 75mb) but that errored out too. Nothing i have tried has worked and im close to going postal.

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?

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 have just puchased my first Windows Vista computer - an HP laptop. I have purchased at leat five laptops since 2000 so I am familiar with setup and
comfortable with installations etc. I have three questions here.
1. My last computer had Windows XP and an 80 gb hard drive with 70 gb full - After copying the data only (55 GB) to my new 250 gb hard drive I have only 107 GB remaining of the 222 GB C drive partition. I have not yet added many programs. That tells me that Vista must be using 50-60 GB or more of the drive. Can that be correct?
2. My new computer takes 5-6 minutes to start up. After two minutes I get the welcome screen. Then the monitor goes black for a full two minutes before continuing the startup process. Is this normal for Vista?
3. Occasionally the monitor goes dark for a few seconds and a window pops up saying the display driver has failed but is back. Is this normal?
I certainly gained no speed with this new computer. There are many things I like about Vista. Since I have no previous experience with owning it I am trying to sort out if this computer is a lemon that should be returned or if I should just put up with the downside.

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.

Does anyone know how to fix the problem with Windows Desktop Search. When I apply the update from Microsoft (Windows Search 4.0) it will delete two folders. Windows which is located in C:ProgramDataMicrosoftSearchDataApplications & Config which is located in C:ProgramDataMicrosoftSearchData I can't take this anymore my main purpose of using this was to work with Outlook 2007. Everything on my PC is up to date. I have removed every possible security program. Oh yeah and I already followed the steps in the thread : How to Fix the Start Error for Windows Search Service to Enable the Index in Vista

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3
Locale ID: 3081
Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 1000007e
BCP1: C0000005
BCP2: 98DD3A3D
BCP3: 8837B8FC
BCP4: 8837B5F8.......
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.

My computer takes really long to boot up. probably about a minute or two trying to boot up, then when you get to the login screen and enter your password, the welcome screen is stuck for 20 seconds! After that, the computer is slowly loading...
What's the problem here? I reformatted the computer FIVE times, and it's still slow. I already ran hardware tests and everything passed. Also spoke to HP customer support. he took control of my computer... ran some tests etc... everything was good. If anyone has idea's as to what could be wrong, please do... I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do with this computer

I know theres probably a million threads about blue screens, but I think my problem is different. (Probably heard that before too.) I bought my computer in November, and since then I've had a bunch of blue screens, most giving different codes. I ran Memtest86 and it found nothing (I ran it once for 6 hours then another for 9). Heres some of my error codes, just recently:
0x000000be
0x000000d1
0x0000004e
0x0000001e
0x000000c5
0x0000003b
I don't know what most of them mean, I've read that ram is the main problem for some of these, so I don't know what to think. My computer is a HP Pavilion Desktop, running Vista Home Premium x64, I have an AMD Tricore, and 4 GBs of ram.

I get the words "Authorizing" and "Checking Mail" down near my clock, and I get the little window with the "receiving messages" line, that fills from left to right with the blue line; but then, after the blue line is all the way across, there's a long delay, and I get a window with an error message with the number 0x800CCC13. When I look that error message up on the Microsoft site, it says that means:
0x800CCC13 IXP_E_SOCKET_WRITE_ERROR Unable to read Winsock reply
Interestingly, even though the new messages don't come in, everything else works fine. All the menus and functions are A-OK. I can still compose new messages or replies to earlier messages, and send them out, and they go out just fine. But then, after the new compositions are sent, the program automatically tries to bring in (receive) new messages, and sometimes it succeeds, but sometimes it just runs into the same error message. I've contacted my server and they claim that there is nothing wrong at their end. They think it is a flaw in my Windows Mail program. (On my computer upstairs, which has a later version of Vista and Windows Mail by about one year, Windows Mail works fine.) I've considered the following options:
1. Use System Restore to go back a few months, and see if that puts Windows Mail back to normal.
2. Try to download a new Windows Mail program compatible with my version of Vista (if it's possible to download Windows Mail separately).
I'm worried that if I use the second option it will wipe out all my mail,
which is too important for me to lose.

I used a friends computer to download and burn an image file to disk. In the course of doing so i had to download and install a img burner(i think it was called ISOBURN) which i then uninstalled. Sometime later that day the system was rebooted and now the system no longer boots normally, it boots to a WINDOWS98 startup selection.
If i try and select any of the options from this menu it returns that it "cannot find himem.sys...blahblah...please enter the path to command.com. I have already restored the registry to an earlier backup and rolled back the entire system 2 weeks using the OEM restore disk niether of which corrected the issue.

My windows vista crashed for no apparent reason and it will continuously direct me to a black screen with an option to continue normally or launch startup repair. Normal startup doesn't work, and the repair gives me the message "cannot repair this computer automatically". I send the info to microsoft and it gave me no options to fix it And although I have attempted the repair several times already, for some reason it says number if repair attempted:1
Root cause found: Startup Repair has tried several times but can still not determine the cause of the problem."
Root cause found: Unknown bugcheck: Bugcheck 7f. Parameters = 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0.
Repair action: system restore Result completed successfully
Note this is the results from 2 separate occations I have tried System restore to an older date but it did not work. I have tried safe mode, did a dskchk with /f but didn't do anything.

My girlfriend has recently (August 09) purchased a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium x64 edition pre-installed. Everything was absolutely fine for a week or so, but now whenever the computer starts up, it goes through the welcome screen etc in normal time, then the screen goes black with a mouse pointer (which one can move freely), for about 1 - 2 minutes. After these few minutes, the desktop loads perfectly fine. It would be okay, but it's a really new laptop and it's a little bit annoying. I've tried everything I can think of to sort it out, but I'm getting sick of it.
Here's a list of what I've tried: Had a play with services.msc (I'm not an idiot, I know what I'm doing). Had a play with the msconfig startup services to remove AVG watchdog. Tried to load 'last known good configuration'. Tried some bootup stuff. Installed some original Dell software which I had removed. There's still nothing and I'm starting to stress out. My girlfriend is at university now, and she's patient but it's not really fair on her to have to wait too long for her laptop to startup, because it's an amazing laptop!
Here are the specifications: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit Edition (Service Pack 1) Intel Pentium Dual Core CPU T4200 (2.0GHz) 4Gb DDR2 RAM ATi Mobility Radeon HD4570 (512mb Dedicated)
