Blue Screen Of Death Errors Continue After Restoring Factory Settings?
Aug 18, 2012
I got the occasional blue screen of death before, so I reset to factory settings. It didn't help, and may have made the issue even worse, though I haven't used the computer much since I just got a laptop. I have windows 7 64 bit. I had gotten the haplii virus (which redirects my google searches to a different site, it later changed to link to a different site instead) and failed to remove that completely, so I am not sure if that could be causing it or no.

i have tried to do a factory reset on afriends hp mini 110. All seemed to be going to plan until i got the message "set up is preparing your account for the 1st time" The comp then goes to the welcome page before displaying the message " windows could not complete the installation.to install windows on this computer restart theinstallation"I have tried everything over the last couple of days but now think there may be a problem with the hard drive.
I am currently running an Asus Laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit and I want to know how to restore the computer to just factory settings. The computer got ridiculously slow, so I figured I'd take this route. I don't have an installation disc, nor do I have a recovery disc. I bought the laptop at Best Buy.
I want to restore my laptop to factory settings, but I don't have a Windows 7 installation CD. I was just wondering if, when I restore to factory settings (since I don't have another point to restore to), will my laptop be wiped completely? Since I don't have any installation CDs or anything, I don't want to restore it to factory settings if it'll wipe it completely.will it wipe my laptop blank or restore it to the point it was at when I started it following purchasing it (all the basic programs and such already installed)?
I bought a HP Laptop and am unsatisfied with the battery Life. Under the terms of the retailer, I will not be able to return the laptop if it has been 'used'. The only thing I have done is turn the machine on and set up the user account for first use e.g "Mary" and browse a few websites. Is it possible to restore the laptop to the factory settings as I received it, meaning that if the retailer turns on the laptop he/she will be asked to set up a Windows 7 user account for the laptop and also things such as HP user/laptop registration will be prompted again etc? (So that they get the impression that the laptop has not even been used? The retailers are a major PC and Laptop selling company, would they be able to know if the laptop had been set up and used?
There exists a partition in the hard drive solely for recovery purposes. Providing that the retailer will think that the laptop has never been used, and will be asked to set up a new windows account and asked welcome to your new windows laptop (or whatever that comes up) and the bloatware that comes with the HP laptop is all there, how would I go about restoring it to that 'new laptop' setting?
so i turn off my laptop for the night. I come home from school the next day i turn it on.My laptop freezes, after a while a blue screen flashes and the computer turns off. Then i turn on my laptop again it does the same thing.So i decided to i have to restore my laptop.I press f8 and it brings me to the menu i click on repair your computer then it brings me to the artistic blue screen background but nothing pops up. I know there's supposed to be a box that pops out that gives you some sort of option but it doesn't. All that shows is the mouse cursor (i'm able to move it) and the blue background screen.
I'm certain that this has been answered before but I am aware that for certain computers it can be quite different.My question is how do I restore my computer to factory settings? I have a Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H, I've looked all over the manual and still can not figure out exactly how. I always try to access my BIOS but there seems to be no recovery management on it. I have my Win7 reinstallation disc and Gigabyte Drivers installation disc if that helps.I'll reinstall windows if I have to, but only if it'll reset everything. I have a 60GB Boot Drive and a 1TB hard drive.
I recently bought a netbook for use at University. My University recommended and supplied an antivirus software, which prevented my computer from accessing the internet. After phoning the anti virus support, they said it wasn't their problem and after phoning the university, they told me that they needed to restore the computer to factory setting (which I suspected all along)After booting the advanced boot menu on start up, I first tried starting in the last known good configuration, that didn't help, but then it told me to boot with the reset CD in the disk drive. I have the disk, however on my netbook, I don't have a disk drive!
I just did a factory restore on my computer. Now it's asking for a user name as well as a password. I used what I'm sure was my user name and password, but it isn't working. I can't find my password reset disk.
I was just searching the internet- probably on facebook 2 past Friday when (I think) I opened a new tab on Firefox, and everything closed and shut down. Now, it had shut down like this before a couple days before.. However, this time a blue screen of death appeared right after I went into normal mode after the restart.
I tried it in safe mode.. I am able to get in to the log in screen.. then the waiting screen.. then the BSOD. I've heard that it's supposed to tell you what the problem is, but I still don't know what it is. I have some pictures below. They're pretty bad though because I only see it for a second before it disappears.
I've tried diagnostics and repair.. Restoring to 2 weeks ago- spring break. Taking out my "new" devises (memory drives and graphics card) that I installed more than 3 months ago and replacing the memory with the ones it came with. The only thing that I THINK I haven't tried is command prompt (which probably won't help because I don't know how to use it) and the restore to factory setting. I have clicked on it, and it has given me an error (pictures follow.) F2-F8-F12- pressed them all.
There seems to be a vulnerability in windows 7. it's all about the SRV2.sys driver, solutions are for now to block ports 139 and 445 and SMB feature. My questions is has anyone already experienced this problem.
I have a Dell Inspiron and whenever I turn my pc on a blue screen flashes and says Windows Cannot Load.. It goes directly to Startup Repair. However, That does not fix the issue.I tried a Recovery Disk for Windows 7 iso and that does not work either.. It started rebooting back to the factory settings but when it completed, and restarted, the blue screen of death was still around.I tried Command Prompt with Scandsk/ f I believe and that did not work at first because it was write protected.. I found a way past that and nothing. At one point it said boot memtest.exe is missing or corrupt.Right now I got into a Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool.. I have no idea how I did but its checking for memory problems. The only way I got to this was by pressing the down button when booting with windows recovery disk via dvd drive.. and when it stated press any button to boot. when I press down it gets to this.Is my hard drive fried? Can this be rectified?
I'm getting these at least 3 to 4 times a day, and I am starting to get a bit worried. It's a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and refers to athr.sys. I've attempted a virus scan and a Windows Memory Diagnostic but to no avail. What can I do to identify and remedy this problem?
Why not get a new computer? Because my dad wants to keep this computer going for as long as possible to not spend money for a new computer.How can I fix this blue screen of death?
I recently purchased the upgrade to windows 7 from vista and have had nothing but problems. After spending 12 hours on the phone with microsoft i got nowhere. I was told to reinstall windows 7 but still have all the same issues. After about 30 minutes or so it crashes and i get the bsod telling me Driver_power_state_failure with the corresponding error code. Microsoft obviously has no clue as their techs had me on the phone 12 hours and knew less than I do.
My pc started crashing all of a sudden, it was running fine for about 3 weeks and then it just started blue screening every 10 minutes. it could be my tv card as I had to use third party drivers or my firewire audio interface that is running with vista 64bit drivers.
My new dell studio 1555 came with windows 7 64 bit home premium installed, and i wanted to dual boot with windows xp. when i try to install xp, all the files are loaded and then a blue screen comes up saying my hard drives have viruses or aren't working properly and to run a checkdisk, which i have done to no avail.
Got the blue screen of death today. Using Windows 7. Q9450 processor, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, 790i motherboard, nVidia GeForce 9800GTX. I did not install any new programs, change any settings, hook up any new devices or hardware. I woke up, hopped on and started using Firefox to read up on the Haiti earthquake. Clicked a link to a safe news site and Firefox locked up. I couldn't escape and tried opening the task manager via CTRL+ALT+DEL, no luck.
Finally the screen faded and the pop-up on the top left corner appeared, asking me if I wanted to cancel the process for Firefox since it wasn't working. I'm guessing this is a new feature to Windows 7, since it's happened to me a few times since I got it. So I canceled the Firefox process through this method and it closed a bit later. But then nothing worked.
The task manager still did not appear and I couldn't open anything. The screen faded again and this time it said Windows Explorer wasn't working. I didn't worry because I got this message a few times before. I said yes to cancel, expecting it to reboot itself and start working again like the last few times. But it didn't. Just locked up.
So I turned off the PC via the power button and started her back up. Got to the Windows loading screen. Took longer than usual. Before I even got to the account selection screen, a very quick blue screen of death flashed before immediately restarting.Went through the usual POST stuff. But then it said Windows was experiencing a problem, do I want to repair Windows or start normally.
I tried to repair but to no avail - just a black screen. I waited about ten minutes on this black screen and it was later replaced by a blue screen with the Windows logo, and I could move the mouse around, but no options to repair or anything else.
So I then tried to start her up in safe mode. Same thing: quick BSoD, then restart. I can't even read the text of the BSoD, it flashes by so fast. I tried starting her up from my last known good configuration, no go. So I'm not sure what to do. I'm half tempted to just buy a new hard drive and start fresh, or maybe somehow get Linux installed and working. I don't know what to do, so hopefully someone has a solution for my problem.
I have a gateway nv53a laptop with 8 gig onboard(only thing changed from spec)..every night around 2am(and I mean within 10 minutes before or after) my laptop freezes and I get the blue screen of death. I have to do a hard reboot in order to get back to windows.. when I reboot it tells me something about windows live not fully loading or something to that effect(I usually just click ok and close screen so I cant remember) Or start me down the path by suggestions on where to start? I know this isnt the most detailed query but I dont really know what to say as this is frustrating and has been going on now for over a month.
I've had vista for the past year and this has never happend, soon as I install Windows 7 atleast once a day my laptop will randomly "BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH" with either the error "PFN LIST CORRUPT" OR "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_TO" can you shed any light on this?
I recently got a new Lenovo computer back in January and it came with a trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus Plus. Free trial ended and now it wants me to pay for it, but with all the free anti-virus software like AVG I do not want to. I tried downloading AVG but it would not work resulting in an error saying it couldn't as long as McAfee was installed on the computer. So I go to add/remove programs and uninstalled McAfee. I restart the computer as instructed and BAM! Blue Screen of Death upon trying to start up. I could only get the computer to work by going into Safe Mode (Safe Mode with networking wouldn't even work) and performed restore to an earlier date and things seem to be okay now. But I am stuck with my new "friend" McAfee. So I guess the question(s) is how do I get rid of McAfee so I can get other anti-virus software without a blue screen of death? And is this a known issue of McAfee screwing your computer up when trying to get rid of it and it's ugly tentacles? Needless to say, I am not a fan of them right now.

I just finished my first build about 3 months ago, and everytihng was nice and dandy until NOW I start getting the blue screen of death. It says something like error dxgmms1.sys driver_irql_not_less_than_or_equal. I did just some limited resarch on the net, and people are saying that I should try to update my drivers. I updated the video card driver, I`m pretty sure I got the latest motherboard bios, and W7 says no current updates available. Now the last time it happned to me I was watching a movie so I figured it might be the video card? But on the net people say I should run memtest. So i did and while it was running it killed again?. So is the RAM or the video card, how can I find out?

I downloaded some new houses and at first whenever I moved to one it would flicker black a couple of times then blue screen. Then I deleted them, started a new game with no custom content and played for half an hour but was blue screened again.
I have an ACER ASPIRE 5739G running Windows 7 64-bit.No changes were made on the laptop over the past 2 months, suddenly I started to encounter the "blue screen of death" once every few days, randomly when browsing the internet (no other software was running). It started to do this more frequently, within 1 hour of EVERY startup, I then performed a system restore and now the blue screen appears within 30 seconds of every startup, as well as Safe Mode.The blue screen appears for 15 seconds, the laptop then restarts.I have attached an image of the blue screen below:I know the most obvious solution will be to re-format the hard drive, as the computer is rebooting within 30 seconds of each start up as well as safe mode.Is there any way for me to browse the hard drive on the laptop without loading up the OS, to transfer to another laptop/external HD?I have a couple of really vital documents (only 10mb worth), although the laptop reboots before I have the chance to transfer them to a USB stick.If there was a way to transfer these files, I would be more than happy to re-format the laptop.
