I'm using win 2000. Been fine for 5years, no BSoD's at all. My niece was on my computer looking at someone's myspace and then it shut down and when it rebooted, I got this fine message:
I went into safemode and did a search for all files modified around the time she was on it. There was some spyware which I deleted after running Hijackthis. I have reduced the amount of virtual memory as well. Unfortunately, my virus program will not run during safemode so I don't know if there's a virus (hijackthis would notice it right?)
I have no idea what all the numbers in the error refer to. If anyone does, that could help me in fixing this and finding out what hardware or driver went haywire. Can this just happen all of the sudden like this? I have not installed any new hardware or programs for awhile either
I am running Windows 2000 Professional SP4 and using a wireless USB card to connect to my home network. The USB card is a Dick Smith Electronics (New Zealand) branded one which uses a Ralink RT73 chip
whenever I transfer files from this computer to another the copying starts, but doesn't get very far. The computer crashes shortly after starting with Stop: 0x0000001E "KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED". The file quoted causing problem is rt73.sys" which is the driver for the USB card. I have searched the internet and read microsoft tech support page about this error and I think the driver is sending requests which the processor cannot understand I have tried updating the driver, but this has not worked. I have tried the card on a Windows XP computer with the same driver, and it transfers files fine
About my BSOD problem w/ my Windows 2000 Professional 2Pk operating system. Computer will not startup properly then goes to blue screen
I've been looking for help online and speaking to people but everyone is down on me for still using Windows 2000 Professional. Am willing to upgrade to XP if I can figure out the current problem
I have searched for an answer to my problem but have not been able to fix it. My pc restarts when I try to shut down and every time I get this stop error: stop error 0x0000008E (0X0000005, 0X8062A21D, 0XF77A7A50, 0X00000000) It also does a scan disk check every time I restart also. And it will not defrag.I have rolled back some drivers that I updated but that did not help. I have win xp and I have current antivirus and spyware programs.
I cleaned the whole computer with malware bytes, spybot S&D and have spyblaster, ie-spyad and scriptdefender, also norton antivirus. Cleans some stuff like myway mywebsearch and Hotbar no problem computer is clean. The problem is a stop error that stops it for shutting down.You can start it up fine and do what ever you want to do. But when you got to shut it down from start> shutdown>shutdown it pops up the BSOD with stop error. Haven't put in any new hardware or software, everytning is up to date. I unchecked the box for the auto restart made no difference.
I have had a screensaver in use for a month. All of a sudden it doesn't come on after 10 minutes like it used to. I've reset it, rebooted. Nothing works.
I have just rebooted my PC and it only has the Windows Classic theme. I think this might be because i have disabled something thru services.msc.Does anyone know which service i need to change to Automatic or Manual?
Had XP administrator username and password set up the first time I installed XP, but never enabled it until yesterday. Reebooted this morning and now windows won't accept my password. I don't know why it's not taking my password, or if I wasn't typing it in correctly (did not have caps lock on), but now I'm totally locked out.
If I load the xp cd, is there an option to unlock xp if I have the original serial number that was loaded for that system? I'm on my old system right now. I know you can reset the bios password, but I highly doubt that resettting the cmos jumpers will clear the xp logon password.
I have got a Dell dimension 3100C with win xp home.My problem is I don't have any sound.I had no sound so I installed sp3 and when it rebooted it said some thing to do with high definition audio codes so I try to install them and it says error 10 device cannot start
The other day I using my computer (Compaq Presario), and the all of a sudden it rebooted without any warning.While it was starting when it showed the windows XP boot screen it jammed. So I turned it off and when I tried to boot it wouldn't. I have some ideas as to what the problem can be:1. Its overheating.2. The CPU is fried.3. There's something wrong with the video card.I have 2 fans inside the computer and about 1 week ago I bought a new CPU cooling fan. I believe the video card is a NVIDIA TNT2.
My computer rebooted itself a few days ago. When it did this my computer stopped at the log in user screen. I've never had any other users setup on my computer. When rebooting it always goes straight to the windows desktop. After that I noticed that my desktop picture and all of the folders I had on the desktop were gone. My favorites were removed form IE8 and I keep getting a security settings warning bar that doesn't let me fix it. I click fix my setting and it looks like it does then on the next page it pops up again. So I had to create another user with admin rights to use for the internet. I can find all of my files that were on the desktop but they are showing up under user owner but if I log into widows with user owner they don't show up. I also show another user with no admin rights and is password protected. ASP.NET machine A?
Every mouse Ive tried to get working on a system that I just installed XP on will not work. Note these mice are ps/2 but it isn't the port because I used a Ps/2 to USB converter and that didn't work either? Note Ive rebooted the system every time I tried a new mouse so it isn't the restart needed.
I have a wireless network at home with 3 computers (All 3 use XP operating system) connected to a Linksys Router. I've had no problems for 2 years. I lost my connection on one of the computers (my son's) and tried to resolve through Linksys. There had been a very weak signal to the computer for a few months prior to losing the connection altogether and, the Linksys tech rep. thought that my drivers and Windows XP updates were probably not updating properly. He recommended connecting the computer directly to the router and updating from there. Just before trying this, I rebooted the system and received the following error
i'm running windows xp home, on an emachine m6805 laptop. at some point yesterday my computer died and rebooted and now the hal.dll driver is missing or corrupted. i've tried various things from other threads such as safemode, last known configuration, recovery, etc. nothing worked. i've tried booting from cd with my xp discs but i think the problem i have is that my discs are recovery cds from emachines and i cant press "R" like everyone says to do. reformatting is not an option unless i take it to a computer repair shop to get all my info off that i need. what can i do? i read the kelly link that people always link to but it makes no sense. can anyone help? if you need more info just let me know.
I think of myself as an intermediate compuet user. Recently when i rebooted my computer, windows didn't load. I have Windows XP. The start screen with the windows logo and the blue bar runnning across the bottom loads but then when it usually goes to the pick user screen it only comes up with the Windows XP logo and stops loading.Does anyone know a way to stop this happening. (I am on a different computer at the moment incase you're wondering)
I've had an infinite reboot cycle for the last 3 days now, and I still cannot figure out why. I have been looking at other cases and are quite similar to mine but not exact. This is my problem
I have XPP and one day my computer got a BSOD. Then through out the weeks it had a few (5-6 maybe) BSODs. And one day I started up the computer and it went to the windows splash screen, the logo, and rebooted itself. Being frantic on my 6 month old computer, I let it reboot by itself...and it went on like that for a while. It continues to ask me if I want to start in safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, the last good known configuration, or start windows normally. I have tried all of the options and they lead me down the same road...infinite and continuous rebooting at the logo.
I recently upgraded my motherboard but kept my hardrive as is except for changing the drivers provided with my Mb and registering xp again as xp stated that too many changes took place. my mouse not working I uninstall my mouse driver and rebooted xp where it did pick up my mouse but no movement I also tried installing the software provided with the mouse but no luck. I even took another hardrive and installed xp on there the mouse then work fine.
After receiving BSOD, I rebooted and now have a black screen. When hit F8 to try and start in Safe Mode get these on a black screen multi(0)disk(0) rdisk(0) partition(1)WINDOWSsystem32 toskrnl.exe
Booted my computer this morning and had two error messages; send a report to Microsoft (which usually never do) then rebooted. Now I have lost my active desk top and can not re-activate. Do I have a virus?
I saw another thread on this issue, but it didn't quite fit, so I thought I'd get others opinions. This computer was built for me by a non-major vendor. I consider myself semi-computer literate, and feel comfortable with most work required inside my case. Let me start by saying that this issue happens most often when I've woken my computer up from sleep mode. I have made no major changes to the hardware or software recently. What I did do was move the computer, rather gently, 2100 miles to my new home in a new city. The PC is under warentee, but the original vendor is rather far away. I also noticed that the first time I booted the computer after the move, the computer made a funny noise. It sounded like something (either a fan of the HD) was spinning improperly. I immediately powered down my system and rebooted, and have not had the noise since.
The full message (sans text) reads: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL *** STOP: 0x00000D1 (0x000000EC, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0xAE5A38D4) *** HTTP.sys - Address AE5A38D4 base at AE592000, Datestamp 41672744)
Begining dump physical memory Physical memory dump complete. Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance. I've also noticed that on the boot screen, my PC no longer seems to be doing a memory test, or showing my 3 gigs of memory. In windows, it appears the system sees the memory, but the memory test seems absent on boot. I have no problems, so far, running resource heavy programs. This seems, like I've said, to happen only when I sleep then wake up my PC. Rebooting from this screen will cause the PC to reboot itself constantly, but turning the PC off and rebooting seems to give me no errors, again, until I sleep it.
In the middle of system restore the computer rebooted on its own. It didnt finish. And now my laptop is a paper weight. ymtoms are Comp will boot , show the debug status bar, then flash to the windows xp status bar, a few sec. will pass then it reboots back to SONY, and the cycle goes on and on and on. The CD drive is on the docking station , and it wont work untill windows starts. so now I will have to figure out how to use the Network Boot option.
I did more than one system restore and each time the process created a new user folder. I first thought all my settings were lost but since discovered I had several new user folders and the computer was no longer using my original folder when I logged in.
I downloaded something stupid and probably got a virus as a result of it. A day or so later, when I next turned on the computer, it only got as far as loading the background to the Windows XP login screen, not the dialogue box itself, then rebooted. When it rebooted, it sounded like the hard drive stopped for a second, then started again. I formatted my hard drive, and after discovering that having a second hard drive connected causes Windows setup to crash reinstalled Windows XP Pro. It didn't help; in fact the reboot happened even earlier, while the Windows XP Loading screen was up. I went back to XP Home, and now the computer will get as far as it originally did, but doesn't reboot, it just freezes.
when i am browsing i got download.trojan alert and afterwards it rebooted automatically. then i download trojan remover 6.4.8 and spybot and it removed some. but again the problem is not solved. when i run check with spysweeper it gave lot of threats. as a trial version only we can scan not remove. so plz help me these sloving problems.and i get this windows security center alert always.
Major virus infection on computer resulted in fdisk and reformat. I used Win 98SE to fdisk and reformat, as I couldn't for the life of me find a format on the Dell Operating reinstallation CD. (could be first mistake)
Used Win 98 SE startup diskette to start system w/CD rom support.
Navigated to D: Drive which containe the XP OS reinstallation. Navigated to I386 folder and typed WINNT to begin reinstalling files.
Start WIn XP setup and began copying files to HD.
Screen shows: The MS-DOS based portion of setup is complete. Setup will now restart you computer. After your computer restarts, WIN XP Setup will continue. Remove floppy, etc.
Computer restarts - did inspection of system, shows Win XP Setup, loading files (drivers, controllers, etc.)
Starting windows - Welcom to Setup: 1. Setup - press enter 2. Repair (using Repair Console) 3. Quite - F3
Pressed enter
Next message:
Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer. Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer. This may involve running a mfg supplied diagnostics or setup program.
Setup cannot continue Press F3
System then attempts reboot, attempts installation again by booting from HD. Then error message:
Dell Deminsion 4600 series p4 processor @2.4 GHz 512 MD DDR SDRAM @ 400 MHz 128 MB DDR NVidia GeForce FX 5200 graphics card 80GB 7200 RMP Ultra ATA HD Win XP Pro SP1 48x/24x/48x CD-RW Drive SoundBlaster Live! w/ 5.1 support
I have looked on MS site for the error code and think I understand that the problem is either a hd controller device driver is not installing from the Dell Reinstallation CD and therefore stops the installation of the software. How I can possibly extract and install the driver setup may be looking for.
STOP 0x00000050 (0x8CCC1345, 0x0000001, 0x808A65A1, 0x00000000) These both happen when installing windows, either when at 95% of copying files or when booting into windows.
I was playing a game and I rebooted my computer. When i went to start it it went to the a blank blue screen before the account screen in the beginning of XP. I know i can restore to new but i will have lost so much information that it would take about 3 months to retain it all back. It says it can not find operating system. I need help in a serious way. all advice and solutions are requested.
