Mar 29, 2008
I'm using a different computer, than my not working one to post this. My other computer has frequent crashes like when i click certain things. It says beginning dump of physical memory in a blue screen and counts up from 1 at the bottom of the screen. It takes forever so i Just restart the computer. I downloaded and installed a BIOS update, tried a different graphics card, tried different RAM chips, tried a different processor, and it still happens.

A couple of days ago my laptop (IBM Thinkpad) began to frequently crash and lock up on me. Ctrl Alt Del would not unfreeze anything so i was forced to just turn it off by holding in the power button. After i would do that I would try to turn the computer back on but then it would stop before the normal startup began and give me the error message of"Resource Conflict - PCI Network Controller in slot 01Bus: 02, Device : 02, Function : 00" My computer runs Windows XP home edition and has service pack 2 installed. I have an Intel pentium M processor 1300MHz598MHz and 512 MB of RAM.

I first noticed that explorer would crash a few weeks ago after I stumbled across an infected .wmf file while surfing the net. I was logged in under my limited account and my anti-virus detected the .wmf but it could not take action, I believe due to the fact I use system restore. I finally was able to delete the .wmf after which I ran several different scans and could not detect anything except Microsoft (R) HTML Application host had been altered (24,576 bytes to 24,064 bytes), so I replaced the file (note: explorer was already crashing before this point). The only time it seems to crash is once in a while when I click on My Document, Control Panel, My Pictures etc.

I'm running Windows xp professional, and I recently upgraded the hardware in my computer. After this upgrade my computer would infrequently just restart, about once a week or so, but I left for a trip to vancouver for a week and when I got back and turned my computer on the problem started getting much worse. Now it happens about ten times a day, and I can't just leave it off because I don't have another computer and I need this one for classes. Also, when I try to play games it shuts down, or freezes about ten minutes after I start. I have run AVG, Spybot, and ad-aware, and the problem remains. This problem seems to be completely random, sometimes it happens while I'm doing something, and sometimes it happens when the computer is doing nothing.

Explorer.exe will load when my machine starts up. About every 5-10 seconds, it will close, meaning my desktop blinks off. Another 10 seconds later (or around that) explorer.exe will start again and my desktop will come back. Eventually, it stops trying to load and the desktop stays off. I can go to task manager and run explorer.exe to repeat the process of having explorer.exe run, stop, run, etc. I don't receive any error messages when this happens. This machine has the latest Microsoft updates incl service pack 2.

I installed a USB media card reader in my system, soon thereafter, I began experiencing some problems with programs acting strangely and crashing, etc. I unplugged the card reader since I rarely use it anyway. The problems seemed to stop for about a week or so. Then the computer would just randomly restart in the middle of a game or when left running idle for a long time, such as overnight or while I'm at work. I thought that maybe my 420w psu was reaching its limits with 3 HDDs and 2 optical drives plugged in. I unplugged a single HDD and now the crashes happen less often, but still happen. The crashes are more likely to happen when playing a game, but the programs include the game itself, or winamp, trillian, skype, firefox, or "truevector service". Those are usually about the only programs I have running at all. Twice so far I have encountered the blue screen of death, which I hadn't seen I think since SP1 was released. So far I have tried updating my BIOS (all 3 available versions), updating my video card drivers, even reformatting my system drive, all to no avail.

it is not the hardware's issue, as this is a dual-boot windows ME and new installation of XP (w/SP2) home and this never happens when it is running ME, only XP (they are on different drives). What can this be due to, and how can I tweak my XP software to not crash (and create a need for system restore due to errors!) everytime I want to install software from a CD?

On a new computer I installed windows XP pro, updates and installed basic software, such as Office XP, McAfee, Firefox, etc. Whenever I open My Computer or windows explorer and browse through folders, after a little while explorer crashes and then restarts. This also sometimes happens when I open the start menu. Occasionally, Dr Watson postmortem debugger is triggered and the computer freezes until I end the process from the task manager.

At the beginning I thought I have it only whne I am using a special program. Now I saw I may have it even when I am not doing anything special - like reading a webpage. However, the main problem is when I am running Adobe Encore DVD - that program runs for a long while. Everytime it crashes (I mean win XP crashes with a blue screen). I have checked the event logger that what it says: 0x00000019 (0x00000020, 0x86764ec0, 0x86764f60, 0x0a140014) but most of the time I get the following: 0x1000008e (0xc0000005, 0x804c6c2f, 0xf3e1cb30, 0x00000000).
I have searched web and found that I should try to do the following: to change DisablePagingExecutive value from 0 to 1. I have done it, and tried to run Encore. At the same point I got the following reason for OS failure: 0x1000000a (0x000005c4, 0x000000ff, 0x00000001, 0x804db8ca). I really don't know what to do. I have to finish the DVD REALLY SOON and I can't create the image. Please please please help me (to reinstall windows is not an option - I can't ensure that the DVD project will not be deleted and I can't backup 55GB).

I was having some Adware and virus issues so I got help with those here, but in the process, it looks like I did something pretty screwy.If I shut down from the start button it only restarts the computer. If I try to open it up in safe mode via msconfig from run, it just restarts the computer in normal mode. If I try F8, same thing.I get a "your system has recovered from a seriour error" every time the computer restarts. When I dig for details on the error, this is what it says.

Every time I use winamp it freezes up on me after a couple of minutes. Also, if I try to use another audio application like soundforge or mediamonkey, the audio freezes up and I have to reboot. I have all the latest versions of these applications as well. I'm running Windows 2000 Sp4 PIII 1000ghz 256RAM - Compaq N160 with SoundMAX audio drivers. I've also tried to update sounddrivers, but there are none available from HP's website.

I am having problems with installing new programs that require Windows Installer. Apparently, msiexec.exe crashes each and every single time I use Windows Installer, and the moddll responsible for this was ntdll.dll.

Every time i turn on the computer, it restarts by itself before i can log on. then it will just endlessly restart itself until i shut it off. occasionally i can hold esc and it will log on properly, but it takes a really long time and doesnt always work. I am using a Windows XP laptop, and i did a virus scan and deleted all the dangerous files. I even unchecked "automatically restart" for a system failure and nothing happened.

First off, here are my computer specs (I like to get detailed): HP Pavilion a820n running Windows XP SP2
540J Pentium 4 HT, 3.20 GHz (1MB L2 cache, 800MHz front side bus)512 MB PC3200 DDR SRAM memory
200 GB 7200RPM Serial ATA hard drive.Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 with up to 128 MB shared video memory.Thats whats on the front of my tower. So, the title of this thread is self explanatory. I just turn on the computer and after it loads, after the desktop appears and right around when the desktop icons are loading, it just goes blank and restarts itself. Last night I did an error check for the hard drive, and it didnt come up with anything. I actually went to bed while it was scandisk or whatever, and when I got up, the computer was in its neverending cycle of resterting and crashing. I can, however, load it in safe modes, like with networking; that's what I'm using right now.

I am trying to delete a directory that crashes Windows Explorer every time I select it. I am trying to use the command prompt to delete the following directory: r:video projectsfreedom interviews I can change into these directories with the cd command, but if I try to erase or delete I get an error that the system cannot find the directory. I suspect this is due to either the spaces in the directory names, or the length of the names, but I can't figure out how to get around the issue.

my computer had started to restart or completely shut down on its own randomly when i was using it. The computer has gotten slower over the years (its about 5 years old) and when i shut down on its own again today i decided that i would just reformat the whole thing. So I just finished doing the disk recovery thing and i transferred over some old files that i had backed up from before onto another hard drive and I was just installing a game back onto the computer
a few moments ago when the computer restarted by itself again! when it came back i started my browser and it did it again a second time. Anyway I was wondering what the hell is going on with this thing, could it be some of the files i backed up and transferred over? Im running windows XP any additional info you guys need about the PC or what i have on it ill tell you, but please I really need some help I cant have this happening over and over again.

I am getting frequent system related errors in my Event Viewer. Typically those are related to system crashes. Here are four for starters. It is almost impossible to avoid some crashes on a daily basis. I find the M$ help over my head. Where to start?

Within the past 2 or 3 days, I've been getting BSODs 3 times a day. They seem to always happen when I'm randomly surfing on Firefox, but I thought this belonged here. They seem to happen after I've recovered the computer from standby mode (I make it go to sleep instead of shutting down and rebooting most of the time) and am surfing firefox. I've noticed that I can do all I want with no problems before sending the computer into standby, but after standby I'm on borrowed time. Maybe I'm forgetting a time that it has shut down on me after a fresh boot, but that seems true.

I have a 2 hard disc system, Windows XP pro and most programmes run from the C Drive. A few, plus all my data run from the F drive. Over the last few days I have encountered a massive slowdown in getting the computer started - form certainly less than 5 minutes to over 20 minutes. I have not added anything to the autoruns at all.
Programmes and data (eg music) run fine if they are on the F drive, but if they are on the C drive they run incredibly slowly so music is fragmented and at times its like trying to wade through treacle to get anything done. I have been getting crashes of the PC with a message about a kernel problem... but haven't yet copied all the data from that to get the detail. When it crashes the next boot reports a disc boot system failure, when i reboot ahgain it loads up but painfully slowly. The C drive was defraggged just afew weeks ago. I'm thinking the drive is about to pack up....

I have a Sony Vaio VGN NR160 E which came with Vista Home Premium. Actually it's crashing repeatedly because of an outdate touch pad driver "apfiltr.sys". But I have not been able to find a newer updated version for the same! So I am thinking of reverting back to Win XP.
