QUESTION:
Windows XP blue screen stop error code: 0x000007B. HELP!!?
I get this error wheen i first start my computer after the dell logo comes up and the little bar below it fills up up but after that my computer goes to a black screen that gives me options as to how to boot up my computer (safe mode included) and no matter how i choose to boot the computer it it goes to the blue screen error.

• ANSWER:
  You will need a boot/installation disk or a recovery disk to at least boot your system. Then you can try to fix the issue by checking the boot sector (MBR) and system files.

  It could be that something damaged files on the HDD or maybe an incompatible update caused it.

QUESTION:
Windows Vista help: Blue screen; error codes?
My family’s E-Machine(Windows Vista O.S.) had automatically shut down on me this morning. When I started the computer back up, the computer wouldn’t go back to the start up screen but instead said that boot failed and to start it up from a system disk, which they didn’t say what system disk. So, I went and tried a system repair on it and once it finished, the solution screen/ blue screen had these error codes: Stop: 0x000000f4(0×00000003, 0x8362D020, 0x8B7B8CD4, 0×00000000)down at the bottom of the screen.

Does anyone know what these error codes mean?

• ANSWER:
  An F4 stop code is one of those “you’re on your own” messages. It basically means that Windows can’t continue. If you can’t diagnose it on your own (“what did you – or someone else – do to the computer just before it started doing this?”) you can either bring it to a repair shop (a real one, not a “squad” of a retail chain) to see if they can find the problem, or you can just reinstall Windows. (The “system disk” is the Windows disk that should come with every computer, but no longer does. You can download a Vista recovery disk image from http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ burn it to disk and see if it helps.)

  You can find a list of stop codes, causes and, in most cases, cures, at http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm

I also saw other people with the same question… This is weird…

• ANSWER:
  Not as strange as you may think, The Blue Screen or as it’s known in the computer club as the SCREEN OF DEATH. because it cannot be recovered from with out restarting your PC. Try to get into your Program manager and look to see if there are any conflicts there. they will have a yellow question mark by it. If there is one disable it for the time being. if it is a card that you have recently installed then remove it from your PC and try to start the PC again. You may however and this is more likely that you have a virus. If you have not got a firewall and anti-virus installed then there lies your problem. you will be amazed at the amount of people that do not have this software installed. They go onto the Internet and wonder why there PC gets infected. Some Anti-virus software is better at cleaning than others so get a good one ie (NORTON of McAfee these are the leaders in the field but beware they have a subscription every year. There are Free anti-virus programs like AVG if you can download and get a hold of one.

QUESTION:
i have been facing unexpected restarts and blue screen stop errors ,indicating error codes as (0x0000000A)?
Another error is (0x0000007F)
………why do these errors appear?i also re installed my operating system(windows 7-ultimate 32-bit) for 2 to 3 times . . there is a reduction of these errors and minidump files also were reduced…any solution will be very well appreciated!!!!!!..i also used windows debugger, but i couldn’t find the exact solution….

• ANSWER:
  These errors may be caused by one or more of the following:
  – Your computer has hardware or software problems (hardware failure is the most common cause).

  – You try to over clock the speed of your computer’s processor (for example, you set a 150 MhZ processor to run at 187 MhZ).

  The above STOP error means a trap occurred in kernel mode and the trap is either one the kernel is not allowed to have or is always fatal.

  The most common causes of a STOP 0x7F are:

  – Low-level hardware corruption, such as corrupt memory (RAM)
  – Mismatched memory modules
  – A malfunctioning motherboard

  To resolve these behaviors, perform one or more of the following:

  – If either software or hardware can cause a particular trap, a debug is required to determine which is the cause. If you suspect a hardware problem, try the following hardware troubleshooting steps:

  1. Test the RAM in the computer by running the diagnostic software that is provided by the computer manufacturer. Replace any RAM that is reported as bad. Also, make sure that all the RAM in the computer is the same speed.

  2. Try removing or swapping out controllers, cards, or other peripherals.

  3. Try a different motherboard on the computer.

  – If you are over clocking the speed of your processor, set it back to the speed at which it is designed to run.

  – Check with the hardware vendor for any updated hardware drivers or BIOS updates, or both.

• ANSWER:

QUESTION:
What’s causing my blue screen error 0x0000007B?
So I reinstalled Vista to get rid of a BSoD whenever I put my laptop into hibernate or sleep.

When I did this, I was also dual booting with XP. I decided I was tired of XP and didn’t need it anymore so I wanted to put Ubuntu 9 on to mess around with instead.

So I have my partitions as

Primary1 – (Vista System)
Primary2 – (Data)
Extended1 – (contains Ubuntu and my Linux-Swap)

So I reloaded Vista but now I sometimes get a STOP error when I’m loading up windows, particularly the .sys files. I can’t boot in safe mode because that fails too. So there is something wrong with the Windows system.

The error code: STOP 0x0000007B (0x80603BA0, 0xC0000034, 0×00000000, 0×00000000)

The peculiar thing is, this error usually comes up if I have to restart the system. Like, I’m logged into either Ubuntu or Vista and I hit restart and boot into Vista, I will get this error code. If I try to load vista from a cold start (i.e. power is off), I usually don’t get the error at all.

Also, I ran CHKDSK and nothing comes up as an error. Windows startup disk repair seemed to have found something wrong but it failed to repair and I don’t know what it actually found…

I’ve reinstalled Vista and I still get the same error at the same place. Now, that usually means it’s a problem with the hardware and not windows. I doubt my hard drive is failing, it’s a seagate that’s almost 2 years old, installed in a laptop so there’s no chance that it can be improperly seated in the slot.
I unistalled/deleted/left NO data on my hard drive when I reinstalled any of my operating systems.

Windows XP does not even exist on my computer right now.

There is no way that Dell would be able to help.

• ANSWER:
  It is not a hardware problem it is a software problem. Did you uninstall windows xp before you downloaded vista? Call up the company where your computer came from. The number should be in your owners manual.

Ok so when I boot up windows 7, it freezes right after it says Welcome and goes to the BSOD. My Error Code is IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and my Stop Code is 0x0000000A. I’ve tried Swapping Ram Slots, I can not do system restore or Go to last known good config.

Next I am going to retry the Start Up repair whenever I find my windows 7 disc.
If you need any more info just ask.

Please Help!!!!!!

• ANSWER:
  The IRQ (interrupt request) error is caused by hardware/drivers – won’t be anything to do with RAM (or your system wouldn’t boot at all). Most often I’ve seen this with networking devices and reseating them and checking cables would help.

  It is best to check the system event log to find out exactly which device is having the problems. Perhaps try newer drivers.

  These are just guesses because it is impossible to diagnose in this fashion.

QUESTION:
My computer has a error caused by a device driver. I think the device driver is virus. Could you help fix it?
I sent the error report to Microsoft, it described below:

What does this error mean? : Windows has encountered an error from which it cannot recover and needs to restart
Cause : Unknown device driver
Computer symptoms : A message appears on a blue screen with error code information (for example: e.g. 0x0000001E, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)

Information about this error:
You received this message because a device driver installed on your computer caused the Windows operating system to stop unexpectedly. This type of error is referred to as a “stop error.” A stop error requires you to restart your computer.”

• ANSWER:
  start backing up your drivers (if you dont have them with you), then reformat you pc.

  make sure you install a decent antivirus (nod32 OR kaspersky is fine).

  install a good antispyware (spybot search and destroy)

  or you can install a recovery software (deep freeze), i highly recommend it.

QUESTION:
windows update error code 80070426 problem solution mu windows vista sp2 has stopped updates from microsoft?
please help me my windows updates has stopped download working & microsoft security essientials has been stopped downloads spyware & virus updates

• ANSWER:
  Just fixed this for a client the other day. This error is caused by some registry entries becoming corrupt or linked improperly. You’ll need to repair your windows registry. A repair shop could do it but to save money I’d recommend using registry repair software which is actually safer anyway because software isnt prone to human error and it’s risky even for pros to fiddle with the registry. You can download a repair tool here:

  http://windows-error-repair.org/error-library/error-80070426.html

  Install the tool then click the scan button. After a few minutes you should get an error report and then click fix. That’s all there is to it. I hope it helps. Take care.

QUESTION:
stopping windows defender error at start-up?
Hi there: i’m an unsatisfied vista SP1 user that’s too lazy to turn back to xp. I’ve customized a lot my vista OS removing from services.msc a lot of…services and i’ve spent some time on the control panel to adjust at the best all the settings but i’ve one (not so much) big issue:
Every time I turn on my pc, windows defender shows an error saying it’s impossible to initialize the application.

let’s make it clear: i don’t want windows defender active on my pc but, when i’ve messed on the control panel searching for a straight way to shut it down…i didn’t find it.
So i went on the services.msc, i’ve found windows defender, i’ve disabled it and, on the options, i’ve selected the “do nothing when an error occurs” on the first, second and so on tries.

He (WDefender) keeps alerting me at every start-up; any idea for removing this start-up prompt? (please, preferably nothing too brutal like “just delete windows defender.exe”)

P.S. googleing the error code only brings you on M$ forums where people DO want Defender running.
P.P.S. Vista SP1 “free” edition, obviously

Thanks in advance.

error code 80072efe on windows home premium after virus removal?
I have a windows 7 home premium. I just had to remove win32/huer virus and thought I got it all, but still cannot download. Also still getting redirections on browser. any idea where to look for the rest of the virus to stop my update issues?

• ANSWER:
  If you can still get on the internet, download malwarebytes,update it and do the full scan.
  If the virus won`t let you download, you`ll need to use another computer and download it to a memory card/stick/external drive, and then run the scan from there.
  Turn off system restore before you scan, that`s if the virus hasn`t already disabled it.
  Don`t forget to turn it back on when scan is finished.

• ANSWER:
  It looks like you may have some malware sitting in your temporary internet files folder.

  Hopefully you have a proper security suite installed on your computer… antivirus, firewall, antispyware, etc from a reliable vendor like a mcafee, norton, etc.. that is properly configured, up to date, and automatically downloading updates… if so here is what I would do.

  First, right click my computer, properties, system restore and turn it OFF until you fix this and then turn it back on to create a clean restore point.

  Next, close out of any running programs, especially your web browser (but NOT your security suite), and right-click on IE > Properties > Delete browsing files / temp internet files

  Next, perform a manual update of your security suite and perform a complete scan of your system.

  If you are still unable to delete the file in that temp folder, boot into safe mode and delete it.

  This should fix the problem. If you are unsure as to the validity of your security suite you can attempt a web based scan from http://housecall65.trendmicro.com but the problem with deleting these malicious temp files with the browser open is that they are technically “in use” while it’s open and therefore cannot be deleted.

  You may also need to go into Start > Run > type msconfig > hit enter and click on the startup tab to uncheck this file that is trying to load upon startup.

  Good Luck

I have a C++ program running in Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2010. It goes through a loop and does hundreds of calculations and then exports the data to a text file.

Can anybody help with code 19 error in Windows Vista Registry, which caused my DVD Drive to stop working? Chri
Calling all Computer Experts! Please help – My Disc drive is not working at all.

I tried to play a CD and it didn’t work – so I searched and there was no disc drive.

I have tried a system restore as far as I can go back, but it’s still not working.

When I go into device manager – it shows up as ATAPI DVD A DH18A1P ATA Device but there is a yellow triangle next to it with an exclamation mark – like a hazard sign almost.

If I click on it, it says:

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

Click ‘Check for solutions’ to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.

It gives me an option to check for solutions, which it does – but nothing comes up.

I have also tried disabling it and re-enabling it, shutting down computer etc.

• ANSWER:
  The blue screen of death, also known as the blue screen of doom or simply blue screen, is one of the most notorious error messages in Windows based operating systems. To fix blue screen errors, you can safely assume that there’s something going seriously wrong in your operating system. Unfortunately for us, and even the highest trained computer technicians, fixing the blue screen of death isn’t always as simple as we’d like it to be, and it can take an obscure amount of PC knowledge to get to the root of the problem.
  90% registry cleaner can fix the blue screen.

QUESTION:
Error code 43 on display adapter in Windows 7 64 bit.?
I’ve been having a constant problem with my custom built PC. All started about 2 months ago I had been experiencing crashing and screen freezing issues. After much trouble I finally found a shorted wire on the bottom of my pc from a side fan molex power connector. Every time I would try to run both of my Nvidia 9800GX2 graphics cards I would not be able to run them in normal quad SLi setup I would only have the choice of running in Tri Sli. When I would go to Device manager one of the 4 display adapters would have an “!” and when you right clicked then properties the text box would say “Windows has stopped this device error 43″. I would then fill out a RMA thru BFG and send the card in for repair. After getting the card back and reinstalling it would do the same thing, so I’d send it out again blah blah..after repeating these headaches for 4 card replacements BFG upgraded me to 2 Nvidia GTX 285′s in trade for the 2 9800GX2′s. Before I installed both together I thought maybe the shorted wire had messed up my power supply (1100W) so I decided to replace it before attempting to run both 285′s in SLi. So I buy a new PSU a BFG ex-1200, and install everything and fire it up and…BLAM I only get one of the 285′s working the other has the error code 43 and I can’t enable dual GPU Sli. I noticed that it is only the card on the bottom PCIe16 slot (Slot 3). I have 3 PCI slots on my Mobo but when I try putting the cards in slots 1 and 2 my bios when I first turn on the PC tells me that I must move the card from slot 2 to slot 3 in order for SLi to work. So I can only use slots 1 and 3, so I move the good card from slot 1 and put it in slot 3 and the bad card from slot 3 and put it in slot 1. Fire it up and now the slot 1 card which windows just told me was bad error 43 is working fine and the previously ok card now in slot 3 has the error 43. So before I go any further I was wandering if anyone had any suggestions because all I can come up with is that maybe the shorted wire did more damage than I thought and the 3rd PCIe16 slot is bad so I gotta get a new motherboard. My specs: Mobo-EVGA Nvidia 790i Ultra, GPU’s- 2 BFG Nvidia 285, PSU-BFG ex-1200, Ram- 4gb ddr3 pc1066 4x1gb, Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, Intel Q9770 quad core processor. All my drivers are up to date and bios up to date.
Wasn’t a registry error. I couldn’t run the program you posted the link to the “Perfect Optimizer” because it wanted me to pay for it to fix all the issues. So instead I ran pc tools’ program “registry mechanic” and a program called “CCleaner”. Both of them found massive registry and other errors on my system and repaired/cleaned them all. I then uninstalled both nvidia display adaptors restarted my PC and reinstalled the driver and still the one card in slot 3 has the error 43.

QUESTION:
How do I stop windows from installing updates at shutdown?
I have a computer with Windows Vista installed. When I turn it off, it tries to install updates (there are about 48 of them). It will NOT install them. I’ve left the computer on for days, and it always hangs on updating… 1 of 48. I have to hold the power button to get it to power off, and this gives my computer speed problems. When I try to install them when the computer’s on, it says: Error code 80240016 – Windows update is currently installing other updates. Please try again in a few minutes.

Anyone know what to do to get these updates installed/disabled?

HELP! Ten points for a solution.

• ANSWER:
  IN THE START MENU, CHOOSE WINDOWS UPDATES TO OPEN A PAGE WHERE YOU CAN SELECT HOW YOU WANT TO HANDLE YOUR UPDATES.. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO HAVE WINDOWS DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THEM AUTOMATICALLY, OR DOWNLOAD THEM AND LET YOU CHOOSE FROM WHICH ONES TO INSTALL, OR NOT TO GET UP DATES AT ALL…

QUESTION:
Windows Error Code – Blue Screen of Death?
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

STOP: 0x000000ED (0x868F1368, 0xC000009C, 0×00000000, 0×00000000)

Cannot get successful boot – not safe/network/previous working/norml

Also, cant access CD, even with bios change to default to disc drive.

HELP…
Also, the hard drive appears in bios check; and HDD tests are complete and successful.

• ANSWER:
  That doesn’t sound very good.

  UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME can mean 2 possibilities.

  A: The partition information on the drive was somehow damaged and needs to be corrected with a chkdsk /r.

  B: The Hard Drive is dying.

  Does your computer come built in with any types of diagnostics?

  On a Dell they can be accessed from the start by tapping f12 repeatedly right after turning the computer on.

  Do you have more than one CD drive? Try that one instead? OR Try another CD? You may possibly have to replace the drive temporarily if you only have one. I know I’ve had a drive that couldn’t be booted from but worked fine in Windows itself.

  You need to find SOME way to get into the recovery console on the windows CD to repair this drive with a chkdsk /r and see if it fixes it (it will maybe 75% of the time).

  Oh. You can put the disk inside another computer as a slave drive and use THAT computer to perform chkdsk /r if need be.

QUESTION:
Unable to boot from Vista CD? 48% then stop and error code?
I have just recently received a Vista installation CD. I’m pretty sure its a crack version. My closest IT guy said that in order to install this crack version you need to boot from the disc. I’ve checked my BIOS and my boot first priority is CD ROM. When I get to the next black screen, at the bottom it says ‘boot from cd:’ and then a flashing underscore. No click any button to boot from cd. Nothing. Then it just seems to go back to normal XP and nothing happens. Another confuzzeling thing is that it always seems to stop at 48%!!!! (first vista installation phase – copying windows files) then it says something like, unable to copy files needed for installation, files maybe be missing or corrupt. Then, it shows an error code: 0×80070241. After that I have to restart my installation. And NO. I’m not doing an upgrade. I’m doing an installation. I hope you can help and thanks for taking the time to read all of this.

• ANSWER:
  there’s the problem — “Files maybe be missing or corrupt” get another cd, your copy is messed up one, you cant use that anymore

QUESTION:
STOP code error (BSoD question again)?
This is a continuation from my last question. I researched the STOP code as someone suggested, and the majority says it’s an RAM issue, the STOP code is 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x87B3BED1, 0xA2F0D8B4, 0×00000000).

Is there any “easy” fix out there I can use? I’m trying to follow the windows memory diagnostic / memtest86, but if my hard drive / RAM really is faulty, what can I do that doesn’t involve having to pay for a new part? I’m a bit low of cash as of now, which is why.

The only device I have installed was the webcam, and the time span between its installation and the first BSoD was 7 days. I have a desktop Vista computer.

My previous question was at:

• ANSWER:
  Open your PC, remove the RAM, and turn on the computer. It should beep. Turn it off, wipe the RAM, and the socket(just blow on it), to remove any dust stuck in there. It should be done. If its not fixed, try inserting the RAM in other RAM sockets. If still BSoD errors show up, its time you change the RAM.

How to fix: STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}?
I was installing Trend Micro Maximum Security when it said it was incompatible with AVG Anti-virus Free. It said that it needed to be uninstalled before the Trend Micro installation could continue. I checked some other internet sites and they said to try reinstalling Windows Xp. I tried this and in the middle of installation when it the computer rebooted, the same error popped up:
STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The Windows Logon Process process terminated unexpectedly with a status error code of 0xc0000135 (0×00000000 0×00000000)

Due to attempting re-installation of Windows xp, whenever I try to run the computer in Safe Mode, it says that Windows Xp setup can not be run in safe mode, then the computer restarts. It gives no option of cancel installation or an exit option; just an “Okay” option. Please help! I don’t want to take my computer to get it serviced if it isn’t needed. Thank-you!

• ANSWER:
  Can’t really say what you have done as we haven’t seen it.

  But it was probably caused by an OS/AVG/Trend Micro clash

  However the only thing you can do now is stick the XP installation disc in the drive and reboot.

  The system should then find the disc and start installing the initial setup files
  before it formats the drive and starts the installation proper.

Windows 7 Laptop blue screen of death problem?
I turn my laptop on and the DELL logo comes up and then the Windows 7 starting up logo comes up, while it is loading it freezes and a blue screen of death comes up for a millisecond and then it goes to the Windows Error Recovery screen which has 2 options: Start windows normally or Launch Startup Repair either one wont work, if I choose start windows normally it does the same thing (freezes, BSOD, Error Recovery) and if I choose launch startup repair it fails. I try the advanced options and none of them work. I’ve even tried pressend F8 at the start and ive tried every option there.

Billy Bob ive tried everything youve said except the disc one. None of my friends have the disc but i’ll just search around and see if im lucky.

• ANSWER:
  If you have a system repair disk or Windows installation disk, you could boot to the recovery console and do a startup repair. If that don’t work, you could do a system restore to a point prior to having the issue. You could also go to the command prompt and run the chkdsk c: and sfc /scannow commands from the command prompt while still in the recovery console.

  Added:
  I do not support piracy, but I feel in this case this will be a solution. You can get a disk from one of those torrents sites. All you need is a torrent program.

(0x004A0020, 0×00000002, 0×00000002, 0×00000000, 0x8055059A) Windows XP Home Edition

• ANSWER:
  What are you doing when you get this error? (It could suggest to you what driver is faulty… and thus in need of fixing.) Have you (or anyone using your computer) Updated any drivers or installed any programs recently? Which ones? This could also help track the faulty drivers. Many games come with DirectX and Graphics Drivers for instance.

  The reference to memory mentioned is specificly to how the kernel manages the interrupt requests it needs to place on the hardware for attention. Not the RAM as suggested by one of your previous posters. This managemnt process is known as IRQL or Internal Request Level

  It’s essentially an Operating system level extension of the hardware IRQs (Interrupt Requests) Which is how the CPU (Central processing Unit, or processor) knows which piece of hardware to listen to at what time. Denoted by a positive charge sent from that hardware to the processor.

  The result is that the OS can manage more process requests by managing the programs making those requests.

• ANSWER:
  The Windows operating system constantly refers to the registry to get information about all of the components such as hardware and software which are installed on the computer. The registry tells Windows what to do and how to access the various programs, files, and processes.However, the registry can contain bad information which sends Windows off doing useless tasks or running unneeded routines. Sometimes errors occur including the blue screen of death. Other times the system slows down. Because of the sheer number of factors that can affect the registry, there’s no one size fits all approach. You can’t just go into the registry and remove the bad information because it’s nearly impossible to decipher which information is good and which information is bad. That’s a job better suited for software. I should like to commend Registry Easy http://clean-computer-run-quickly.com to you ! You can scan your pc for free! Good luck!

QUESTION:
I keep getting a blue screen error message on my computer?
Occasionally my computer gives an error message on a blue screen saying that windows had to shut down to prevent damage to my computer and then it says something about adequate disk space and dumping its memory. All I know to do is restart it and it will go away for a while it maybe weeks before it does it again. I have had alot of things cleared off of it in the past but can’t seem to find the problem.

  My guess is you are either running out of hard drive space or you need more RAM and this is why it is dumping its memory.

  Don’t take backup (avoid read write operation on HDD

  XP or Win2K

  you may be having installable CD.

  boot from CD……

  choose repair option

  choose windows partition (No. 1/2/3) normally 1 if single OS

  enter administration password

  now you get command prompt “C:WINDOWS” (drive letter may change

  run the following command “chkdsk c: /p /r”
  run on all partitions (Drives i.e. c: d: e: f:)

  watch carefully the last line “Windows found 1 or more errors………”

  repeat command until clear certificate is received.

  now type “exit” to reboot…..

  your windows should be up and running now… if not, now take the backup (as logical errors of drive are now fixed)

QUESTION:
What is wrong with my computer? Keep getting a blue screen error message end of nt evaluation period.?
It turns blue and has the end of nt evaluation period error message every hour and a half or so. I was told that I need to reload windows. Im running vista currently. I was told by this person that I can just start windows 7 and it will convert just fine. I dont know this person very well and am curious if anyone can give me some more detail or insight. Thank you very much.

• ANSWER:
  It means that the version of Vista you had wasn’t legit, but was the release candidate given out before release. the fact your getting the message know means someone used a simple hack to reset the timer approximatively 365 days ago. It won’t be upgradeable, but you can do a clean install on the machine. Find someone willing to help you extract the data off the harddrive (unless you know how, and probably not the person who gave you the bit of bad advice), then install Windows 7 (or Fedora).

QUESTION:
Blue screen error message on my lap top?
I have a Dell Inspiron 2200. It was working fine until a couple of days ago. I start it up with no problems but after it loads a blue screen pops up that says “A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer”. What does this mean? Is it a virus or something? Anyone know how to fix this?

• ANSWER:
  You should post what the stop error is. Looks something like STOP 0x000000007B — there are well over a hundred different stop messages with different solutions. Some may be as easy as changing a BIOS setting.

Computer gets a blue error screen message?
After about an hour of my computer being on i get a blue error screen. Im not very good with the technical stuff and ive tried restoring my computer but it still doesnt work. Im running a trial version of windows 7. Please help and please explain everything like i’m an idiot please
thanks in advance
first working answer gets best answer

• ANSWER:
  The easiest and fastest way to solve this problem is to run a registry cleaner software. A registry cleaner can eliminate errors in your record. This record stores all information about the software, drivers, applications and games that are installed on your computer. And in time, it can get bad, because some obsolete entries are not deleted and can lead to what they call the “errors”. By using a registry cleaner http://make-a-computer-run-better.com the errors can be eradicated and increases the speed of your computer in the process. Registry cleaners work by scanning each file and then checking to see if it’s corrupt or causing problems. If they find that it is broken, the registry cleaner will replace or fix the file for you to make your computer become free of errors.In addition, the errors will not happen if you regularly check and care for your computer system.

• ANSWER:
  The Windows operating system constantly refers to the registry to get information about all of the components such as hardware and software which are installed on the computer. The registry tells Windows what to do and how to access the various programs, files, and processes.However, the registry can contain bad information which sends Windows off doing useless tasks or running unneeded routines. Sometimes errors occur including the blue screen of death. Other times the system slows down. Because of the sheer number of factors that can affect the registry, there’s no one size fits all approach. You can’t just go into the registry and remove the bad information because it’s nearly impossible to decipher which information is good and which information is bad. That’s a job better suited for software. I should like to commend Registry Easy http://clean-up-registry-faster-pc.com to you ! You can scan your pc for free! Good luck!

blue error screen message. My computer won’t boot in any mode and I have no idea whats wrong please help!?
In the past week i’ve been getting error messsages when shutting down my computer, saying that the logon process was unexpectadely terminated. I kept ignoring the message and forced to do a hard shut down. Well, today i was printing a document and it randomly shut down. It came up with the typical blue error screen.
“A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer.

It this is the first time you’ve seen this Stop error screen, restart your
computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in
the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for
driver updates. Try changing video adapters.

The problem is that there is no error showing, Usualy under the first line it will say the error message but it doesnt? Also, I can not boot the computer from any modes.
Anybody have any ideas

Note:
- no programs where recently installed
- it hapened when i was trying to print a document
- I cant even boot from safe mode
- I cant launch the bios
- I can get into the f8 options (boot priority… that kind of stuff)

• ANSWER:
  look out for viruses or trojans.
  no matter how many times you say you dont have a virus, you may be wrong.
  i used to have no computer.
  so i would use my friends.
  i would get on, and that would happen.
  it would shut down.
  so what i did was go here

  http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html?part=dl-85737&subj=dl&tag=button

  and i downloaded the avast! virus protection.
  cnet is trusted.
  and that is the direct link from the avast! user interface.
  so once thats downloaded and has a little blob icon on your desktop and circle in your taskbar, double click it.
  go to ‘scan computer’ on the left side.
  let it do that.
  it may pick up stuff for you that you didnt even know about~!
  but mainly, it’ll remove the bug that may be causing that to happen.
  i hope this helped~!

It gave some number.. but i never was able to catch the entire number…. this screen came several dozen times within the week… am clueless what started it! I havent added any new hardware or software recently.

BEFORE the blue screen came i used to get annoying pop-ups (and still do) saying to download some important software to protect my computer and what not… i didnt since it really didnt seem all that legit.

Another thing is sometimes i get a windows explorer error message i dunno if that’s related..

And lastly i keep getting redirected time to time to broadcaster.com and a page for Win AntiVirus Pro 2007. If i dont get redirected they open in new windows.

i scaned for viruses using AVG and found 2 or 3… nothing major though.. and checked for spyware.. and removed them…

By the way i dont have the windows XP Installation CD.. so reinstalling windows not an option.
sooo question is how on earth do i stop this blue screen?
(sorry that was long just had to give details)

• ANSWER:
  I found this link for your ‘Blue screen of death’

  http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/w2000Msgs/6093.mspx?mfr=true

  You may want to turn off the automatic system shutdown option that is now the default setting.
  Click on Control Panel
  Right click on System and select properties.
  Click on the Advanced tab.
  There should be a button marked settings by restart and recovery. Click on this.
  You should now have a tick box that is ticked to restart the computer in the event of an error. Untick this box and then click the OK button until all the windows have closed.

  You should now use the event viewer that is in control panel/Administrative tools to find out what errors have occurred on your computer.

  For your pop-ups I have found this link

  http://www.itc.virginia.edu/desktop/docs/messagepopup/

  This is the Microsoft version

  http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/learnmore/stopspam.mspx

  If these are not the sort of pop-ups that you are getting then you have probably downloaded some adware software. This software is often shipped with MSN messenger among others.

QUESTION:
Blue Screen Error Message Occurs When Starting Your Computer After Installing Softex Products?

• ANSWER:
  It depends if your computer is old and put ISP in. If it is relatively new then the best thing to do is defiantly not take it apart. Take it to a computer specialist it wont be expensive at all if you try and fix it yourself its like a 50-50 chance.

QUESTION:
A blue screen error message?
I am the owner of a Toshiba laptop that is less than five months old. Today, when I went downstairs to get a drink the computer randomly restarted to install updates. When I returned, I started getting a blue screen. The blue screen appears every ten minutes or so, and then randomly causes the computer to shut off and the whole process to start again. It says something along the lines of the computer crashing, and backup files restarting.

My system will not allow me to do a recovery, but, it works perfectly fine in safe mode. I also noticed that the anti spyware software I have downloaded, Spyroot, is the only thing that is not coming in on regular mode. Although, this has never been a problem before. I was wondering if anyone had any idea what the problem could be or what I should do.

Note; It also says something about a memory dump in the error message of the blue screen.

• ANSWER:
  System recovery would have been the most ideal choice for you. But you said the recovery is not working. OK
  Log in Safemode and uninstall any new drivers, or updates. They could be anything, Windows updates, antivirus, antispyware, games or drivers for your hardware.
  Uninstall anything you know is not absolutely necessary for your computer. You can get them back if you need them later.
  Reboot, your computer should be running well if that is what causing the instability of your OS.

I don’t want to pay for this if it’s not going to resolve the issues I’m having. Is this a GUARANTEED FIX?
DID I MENTION THAT I CANNOT GO ONLINE AT ALL OR EVEN GO INTO SAFE MODE, THE COMPUTER IS USELESS AT THIS POINT

• ANSWER:
  No it’s not. That error code means to computer can’t find a boot device. Basically that means your motherboard can’t talk your hard drive.

  If you’re comfortable with doing so, try removing the casing and checking to make sure both cables are firmly attached from your PSU and Motherboard.

  If it’s not that then another couple of options are:

  * the Master Boot Record is corrupted
  – get a techie friend to sort it because it is possible to fix
  – format the computer and start again but you will lose information already stored on there. (but you could try some undelete software after to try and restore it )

  * your hard drive has gone to hard drive heaven
  – buy a new one and reinstall your OS

• ANSWER:
  1st update your Graphics driver from the manufacturers website, then sound drivers, and if you can find them the mainboard drivers. See if it happens again, if not problem solved, if it does try this …..
  Run chkdsk /r at the command prompt
  press Windows Logo key and R,
  in the box type CMD, press Enter key,
  type chkdsk /r press enter key, (note space after k before /)
  it will tell you it can’t check as the disk is in use,
  to run at next start type Y, press enter.
  reboot the PC
  This will get the drive checked, it will show you if there are any bad sectors on the drive. If there are you can try to format it and run the chkdsk again if the errors remain your best bet is to replace it. Obviously back up your data first if you intend to format and make sure you have all the drivers ready for re-installation.
  The other possibility is a memory error, download a free memory tester (google it) and run it, if you have more than one memory module test them one at a time to see which 1 is defective.

QUESTION:
Can you help with my blue screen error message on my computer? Read below?
The computer goes to a screen saying it was turned off improperly and gives four options with “LAST GOOD CONFIGURATION” as the last option but have tried all four options with no progress. All four options end the same, Windows Explorer screen appears “as normal” goes to a blue screen and immediately flashes and makes a rude noise then windows reloads repeating. It flashes so quick I can’t read the error message, I have tried hitting the space bar and reboot option. I have a windows driver that came with computer. Nothing changes outcome. What could the problem be. Computer was behaving strange for days leading up to the crash after a “Total security” appeared on my desktop so I think it was a virus.

• ANSWER:
  Typically, when you see something like this, either your hard disk or RAM has failed. I’d assume it was the HD, as RAM has no moving parts. If it was a Windows problem, it would have a more graceful failure message (like the blue screen of death). The fact that it crashes hard makes me think it’s hardware. Check to see if you can feel the hard drive spin up during the boot process. The BIOS is located in NVRAM, meaning it isn’t on the HD. You should be able to get the BIOS to start, even if the HD fails completely. If it’s bad RAM, however, you won’t even see the BIOS.

• ANSWER:
  The only way round this that I can see is either a restore to factory settings Or reinstallation from your xp disc.(If your system came with a disc)

  If you`re worried about losing data, and you have an os system disc, try booting from that and choose the repair option.

  Otherwise you could try a factory settings restore by tapping Ctrl and F11 at startup.(keep trying until a screen loads or you hear a beep) this should work if your system came without a disc and has a restore partition.

  REPLY TO ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
  You don`t need to get into Windows to install Windows, you put your disc in, restart computer, wait for a message on the screen “press any key to boot from cd”

  Do you have a disc?

QUESTION:
Need computer help on blue screen stop message?
I keep gettin a blue screen error message of 0x0000007e (oxc0000006, oxF99966E8, OxF99963E4). What does this mean? Can anyone put into a simple answer on how to fix this? My system is Windows XP Pro and it will not do a system restore. It continuously reboots and will start in safe mode. Thanks in advance.

• ANSWER:
  You may the experiencing the BSoD (Blue screen of death – google it to get a picture), The most likely cause of this is that you have faulty RAM modules. Download memtest (http://www.memtest.org/) and burn it to a blank CD. Reboot your computer and make sure it boots to the CD (if it doesn’t go here to find out how http://pcsupport.about.com/od/tipstricks/ht/bootcddvd.htm) Leave it running (overnight should do) and if it comes up with any errors, buy some new RAM.

QUESTION:
Last night my laptop shut off and I got a blue screen error message when I tried to turn it back on…?
I tried to get it to turn back on for hours but it would show the blue screen after it loads when you first turn it on. After hours of playing around with I got it to turn by removing one of the sticks of ram. It works with one piece of ram but not with both. I tried switching them and it will work with one or the other but not both. I haven’t changed anything on this laptop recently. Its a toshiba satellite pro m14-s405 and it has windoes xp pro on it.

• ANSWER:
  Sounds to me like you have already done a great job in tracing down your problem. From your description, I would bet that one of your memory slots has gone bad. Not much to do here but replace the mother board. This is not usually a do it yourself project in a Laptop. It can be done but it will be tricky at best. A good repair shop should be able to do it within an hour. Two at the most. So don’t let them tack on extra labor.

  Good luck.

  Put in your Windows CD/DVD and boot the computer from the same. Press R when prompted and you’ll end up in a command prompt. Type “chkdsk /r” and press enter. Check the summary report to see if any bytes in bad sectors are detected. If so, you’d need to replace the Hard Drive. After the scan, restart the computer normally (after ejecting the CD/DVD) to see if it works. If not, put the CD/DVD back in and press Enter to reinstall Windows (instead of R).

QUESTION:
blue screen error message 0×00000024?
ive had this a few times now, is there anyone who can help ?

• ANSWER:
  I don’t know what that code means,but I have had the blue screen come up many times.
  As far as the blue screen is concerned,it has something to do with a critical error
  encountered by windows,either software or hardware related and is about to crash.
  That’s when the blue screen comes up.It could be a windows registry problem.
  A recent piece of hardware added to the computer or some new software recently added
  could also be the problem.You could try removing either the software or hardware recently
  added and see if it fixes it,or if the blue screen still comes up.You could fix the registry
  problems by using the windows installation cd if you have it.There are websites that can
  check the registry problems and fix them.Or you can buy software and install on the computer
  which does the same thing.Also there is no set pattern with these blue screens.
  They come up at any time and without any warning.Go through each of those options
  I mentioned above.So there’s are few things to look at to help.

  Hope that helps you sort that issue.

ERROR blue screen message on Compaq nx9420 notebook
hi,
i purchased a compaq nx9420-250gb,1.8ghz centrino duo and am running on vista ultimate.problem begun when i started using it to copy large files from my old HDD onto the new laptop.windows would crash and i get blue screen and it restarts automatically.when i put Xp,i still got the same issue.
ps-i replaced the 555 ghz ram that it came with for it is a 667ghz machine.
my questions are
1.waht the hell could be the problem here
2.should i be worried/is my new laptop gonna die?
3.how can i solve this problem?

• ANSWER:
  Dont go to geek squad, I built a Best buy Manager a new computer because he didnt trust his own guys to do it.

  Your laptop is fine, its a driver of some sort. Install the newest chipset and graphics drivers and it should solve it. You should also update window when you get a chance, they came out with a update that fixed a problem with transferring files. Vista controls the speed of transfers in order to keep transfers from slowing down your computer like they do with XP, but many chipsets have problems with it because the original drivers werent meant to do that.
  Dont give up on vista right away, I have had it for a while now and I love it. I did have some driver problems at first but its been a year since my last problem. If you have an ATI graphics card, it also increases the performance of the card in games by a huge amount.
  I know many people say Vista sucks, but if you look up “mojave” youll learn about how microsoft did a blind “taste test” of vista, but told the people it was a newer OS. 92 percent of the people said is ran better than what they were running, including Mac users and of course XP users. The remaining 8 percent said it was about the same, and 0 percent said it was worse.

QUESTION:
How To Uninstall Windows Update That Isn’t on the Update List?
Last night I had some updates ready to be installed from Windows. One was important and 2 were optional. I decided to install all 3.
One of them was C-Media Inc. – Bus Controllers and Ports, Other Hardware – USB PnP Sound Device. Today I went on Ventrilo to talk with my friends and they say that my microphone is all screwed up and it sounds weird despite it working fine last night before the update.

I went to my update history and went to the list to try and uninstall it but it was not in that list. How in the hell do I get rid of this stupid update? If you’re going to tell me I have to rollback or whatever, please tell me how to do it or send me a specific link because I’m not very computer savy and I’m worried I’ll screw something up.

• ANSWER:
  Do a system restore.

  Start, Help and support (or something) and then look for system restore to a date/time your computer was still working fine.
  That will undo the changes made.

  After that run windows update again and do not do the C-Media thingy

  Shouldn’t take you more than an hour.

  To end notifications of updates you do not want:

QUESTION:
How do I get Windows Update to stop pushing Media Player security fixes on me?
I’ve recently uninstalled Windows Media Player and its security updates from my computer (Win 2000) through the Add/Remove Programs feature, but the automatic update notifications keep on coming for Media Player security fixes.

The FAQs for these updates on the Windows website don’t list my OS as one that is vulnerable.

How do I let the updater know I no longer have WMP? Do I need to make a registry edit?

• ANSWER:
  You could play with the registry…..it can be dangerous though. You could also try this:
  When you go to the Win Update site, and it shows you the update for your computer, you should see a small box with a “plus” sign in it. Click on it, and look pass the explanation and you should see a line with a box that says something along the lines of ” Click here to hide this update” This way Windows Update should hide the update from your system. It’s a bit safer than playing with the registry.

Can’t download Vista Service Pack 1 from Windows update. Need Office 10. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!?
Please help me. I just purchased Microsoft Suite 2010. I was prompted by the program to uninstall 2003 before it was able to install, so i did that. Then, I got another error message and got a list of possible reasons as to why the program can’t to install. The problem is that Vista service pack 1 is not install on my system. Service pack 1 will not appear on the update list in Windows Update until I install all the other pending updates. Here’s why I REFUSE to do that.

I recently had to change my entire hard-drive due to an issue that one of the updates caused. My computer kept running automatic updates and installing something that ate up my ram and CPU resources to the point that my computer kept crashing until one day, it couldn’t even function to get to command prompt in safe mode so I could launch system restore. I was never able to identify the troublemaker update so I’m scared to run automatic updates in case it re-downloads and crashes my system. I read that SP1 makes computers run WORSE unless, and even if, the proper driver updates are installed. Please help!! I don’t want to download the large SP1 file from the internet and then have my computer crash because the drivers are not updated! And I can’t updates because one of the updates is problematic! I need to install driver updates so I can get Vista Service pack 1 so I can get Office 10 installed. All I wanted is Office 10 installed and now I run the risk of ruining my whole system again!

QUESTION:
How do you manually update Windows XP?
When Windows XP finds that your system needs some updates, it lists them. After manually going to the Windows website & downloading the updates, I run the updates on my machine, because all of them were specific exes. The reason I did this is my current internet connection is too slow to download the updates. Now after running the updates, it still tells me that I need to download the same updates. Is there no way to download & run Windows XP updates manually?

• ANSWER:
  its always better to turn on the ‘Automatic Updates’ instead goin for the manual method.
  take ‘system’ from control panel, in the ‘Automatic updates’ tab and select the option which you thinks appropriate for you; and click OK.
  Now you have enabled Automatic Updates for your windowsXP machine and it will download the updates when ever its available and installs it for you or with your permision.

Can I delete the Security for Windows updates that show on my list of programs.?
I my control panel, click on add & remove programs. When the list comes up it has a huge number of Security for WIndows updates, as well as an even larger number of Javc updates. Do I need to leave these on the list, or can I delete them? My computer is telling me I have getting short on memory, and I cannot figure out what isw eating up all the memory, I don’t think I have that much in memory.

• ANSWER:
  Deleting any of those is not going to save you any memory. You could get Ccleaner from download.com. Use the start up manager to turn off some programs from running at start up. The programs you turn off, will still work they just won’t run inless you click on them to start them. Depending on what programs you have on your computer this can make a big difference.

QUESTION:
Windows Update PRoblem?
Windows Update error 80072ee2

If you receive Windows Update error 80072ee2 while checking for updates, you might need to add the website addresses from which Windows Update downloads updates to your firewall exceptions or “allow” list.

Windows Firewall ships with this version of Windows and should already include these sites in the exceptions list. If you use a different firewall, check the information that came with the software to see how to add these websites to your firewall exceptions list:

http://*.update.microsoft.com

https://*.update.microsoft.com

http://download.windowsupdate.com

For more information on firewalls, see What is a firewall? or Understanding Windows Firewall settings.

If the problem persists after you have followed the steps above, go to this Knowledge Base article on the Microsoft Help and Support website or go to the Microsoft Update Solution Center website to request support by e‑mail.

Error codes:

WindowsUpdate_80072ee2

80072ee2

0x80072ee2

So I’m pretty sure I don’t have a extra firewall, I’m running on Windows Ultimate 32bit. How exactly do I add a website to my exceptions list? All I know is to allow programs, not websites..

Step by step instructions please.

QUESTION:
speakers not working, even after a windows update?
i updated windows and listed was a realtek audio update, so i figured that’d fix my problem with my speakers not working. but it didn’t, they’re still not working. i tried the directx diagnostic test but it had an error before the test started each time, and when i tried the music tab, music did play when it ran a test. and when i go to the sound section of the control panel, it says no speakers are connected even though they are.

it’s an hp pavilion vx74 and they’re just the speakers that came with it

• ANSWER:
  First go to “Start,” then to “Control Panel,” (make sure its in Classic View. Double click on “System,” then the tab, “Hardware” and click on “Device Manager.”

  Left click on “+” sign next to “Sound, video and game controllers.” If there is an exclamation point next to any of the drivers, uninstall the driver: Right click on drive with exclamation point and left click on “Uninstall Driver.”

  Close all windows and reboot the system. When Windows comes back up, you should see “Found new hardware” in bottom right corner. Windows should automatically install the driver for you.

  These instructions are for XP, but it is very similar to earlier versions of Windows.

  Yes.

  And if you’ve already installed something, you can remove most things via Control Panel – Programs and Features – View Installed Updates (on the left hand side).

Why don’t file lists automatically update upon Windows file operations?
You cut, copy, or paste something and the window doesn’t update, so you can’t even see what’s really there anymore without a refresh. I have the problem in both XP and 7. Doesn’t Microsoft have a clue?
So one answerer doesn’t experience the problem, and the other suggests a delay. I imagine sometimes it’s a delay, but sometimes it’s too long to be consider anything other than a hang-up.

I tried getting updates for my computer but it just keeps searching and never finishes. It just keeps going on and on. I also had driver 5 not found come up on me one time restarting after uninstalling a program if someone could help me with that too.

QUESTION:
complete list of device drivers for windows xp pro i need to update them?
i formated my cpu and all the drivers with it

• ANSWER:
  Hi Demari,

  If you have a branded computer (Dell, HP, Compaq etc) you can simply visit the Computer Manufacturer’s website (of course from another computer as this computer may not be having Internet) and download the drivers as per the model no. on to a USB Flash / Pen Drive. Then connect the USB drive to the newly formatted computer and install them.

  In case it is not so, you will have to prepare a list of Motherboard, Display Adapter, Sound Adapter, Ethernet Adapter etc and download them separately.

  Update with details in case any advice is required.

  PS: As someone advised, always keep the drivers of your devices with you before you have to format the system.

  Good Luck.

QUESTION:
How can I shut down Windows Update while it is downloading because it is not working right?
My Windows Update started automatically when I first got online w/my new pc. I left it online (dial-up) for 2 hrs and it never got beyond 3%. I want to shut it off & cancel the download as I have drivers & such I need to download from the net, & this thing is interfering. I changed my Automatic Update settings to inform me rather than automatically starting a download, & then I restarted the system, but this thing wont stop coming on, & won’t get above 3%. It must be on about hour 6 with it by now. Also, this is my first experience with XP; should I be able to right click on it to shut it off or ctrl+alt+del it to shut it off, and if so, what’s it listed as? Or is there something else I should do? Could this be a virus? I just got this thing cleaned yesterday & paid 0 to have 3 trojans removed! And it’s brand new! Help!

  Unfortunately, between SP2 and 60 or so other fixes, your computer is trying to download about 600meg over dial up. If you can take it back to the ‘repairman’ and tell him to download the updates! Restoring the OS is just part of the job. If you don’t get those fixes back on, you will be reinfected very quickly.

QUESTION:
How to fix Windows Update error?
I have Windows Update error 80070424. I noticed that Windows Module Installer is not listed under services.

• ANSWER:
  The easiest and fastest way to solve this problem is to run a registry cleaner software. A registry cleaner can eliminate errors in your record. This record stores all information about the software, drivers, applications and games that are installed on your computer. And in time, it can get bad, because some obsolete entries are not deleted and can lead to what they call the “errors”. By using a registry cleaner http://make-a-computer-run-better.com the errors can be eradicated and increases the speed of your computer in the process. Registry cleaners work by scanning each file and then checking to see if it’s corrupt or causing problems. If they find that it is broken, the registry cleaner will replace or fix the file for you to make your computer become free of errors.In addition, the errors will not happen if you regularly check and care for your computer system.

it will show all the other updates but not sp2.
i want to uninstall sp2 because my laptop is running out of space.
Is there any other free programs i can use to uninstall sp2?

QUESTION:
I have MS Security Essentials. My Windows Update is set to let me know about updates before installing them?
Will Windows Update ask me to update the security updates needed for MS Security Essentials? Or do I have to change it to automatically update? So far it doesn’t seem as if MS Security Essentials has updated unless I’ve done it manually (though I’ve only had this two days).

I don’t like having updates install automatically; I like being told there are updates and seeing what they are. The problem is that, as I said, MS Security Essentials only seems to update if I do it manually. Today I was prompted for Windows updates and installed them, and when I look at my update history, the updates listed for MS Security Updates are updates I did MANUALLY.

Will I always have to update manually if I don’t allow Windows Update to install all updates automatically?
I’m running Vista SP 2 and am waiting for HP to send me my Windows 7 upgrade CD!

• ANSWER:
  I share your concerns about automatic updates. As far as I am aware, although MSE uses Windows Update service to download signatures they don’t necessarily coincide with regular security updates. I’ve taken the decision to update MSE manually as I noticed no prompts for updates regarding MSE – I’m hoping this is a temporary blip as it is pointless recommending MSE to the less tech-savvy if updates aren’t regular and automatic.

  You can view and download the latest additions to the signature definitions and inspect the change logs here

How to stop this blue screen from popping up when playing games?
Whenever i’m playing games such as Sims 3 and Maplestory, after a few mins my computer shuts down and my screen goes blue.

What is the cause of this and how can I stop it from occurring again?

• ANSWER:
  Ohh yes, the deadly blue screen of death. I have had quite a few run ins with this problem. It always seems to happen at the absolute worst time.

  The Windows blue screen is due to errors in the Windows registry. What happens is the system has trouble communicating and senses something is terribly wrong. So in order to protect itself, it shows the blue screen and then reboots. In order to fix the problem you must fix the errors in the registry.

• ANSWER:
  The Windows operating system constantly refers to the registry to get information about all of the components such as hardware and software which are installed on the computer. The registry tells Windows what to do and how to access the various programs, files, and processes.However, the registry can contain bad information which sends Windows off doing useless tasks or running unneeded routines. Sometimes errors occur including the blue screen of death. Other times the system slows down. Because of the sheer number of factors that can affect the registry, there’s no one size fits all approach. You can’t just go into the registry and remove the bad information because it’s nearly impossible to decipher which information is good and which information is bad. That’s a job better suited for software. I should like to commend Registry Easy http://clean-computer-run-quickly.com to you ! You can scan your pc for free! Good luck!

Can anyone tell me how to uninstall windows totally on my computer so i can install the new Windows 7. My laptop is Lenovo U450P and it runs on Windows 7 at present. Please help

• ANSWER:
  When you install Windows 7 you get the choice to wipe the current partition. This will completely remove your current Windows installation (and all your personal data).

  If you are still getting blue screens after a complete reinstall then the problem must be hardware related – nothing to do with Windows.

  Most likely problem is bad RAM. Remove one of the RAM sticks and see if the problem goes. If not then swap out the other RAM stick and see if the problem still occurs.

  When you receive a blue screen this usually means there is a hardware conflict or failure. When this occurs the device shuts down to prevent damage to your system. There are a number of types of blue screen errors so be sure to record the entire message that is displayed to aid in troubleshooting.”

QUESTION:
How do you fix the blue screen with the stop message, 0x0000007E?
Every time I try to turn on my computer, the blue screen pops up. Most people say to me, “Go to safe mode with networking to uninstall programs that are causing the blue screen and boot my computer” or whatever. However, I tried to go to safe mode, and the blue screen pops up also. So, are there any solutions to the problem? Do I have to repair my computer? What do I have to do?!

• ANSWER:
  As you can’t boot your computer, microsoft.com won’t be much help to you. If your computer is under warranty, call the manufacturer for help. If not, I hope you have your restore disc(s) and backups as well so that after you do a clean restore of your computer you can also restore your important files and settings.

  Your other options are to take the computer to a Best Buy or another reputable computer store that does fast repairs, or, provided you registered the computer with the manufacturer when you bought it, to call the manufacturer and order re-install discs (which requires the serial number of your computer and, in general, less than ). In the unfortunate event that you never registered the computer, you may be required to fax or mail the manufacturer proof of purchase.

  That blue screen, by the way, is called the blue screen of death and means something serious is wrong. One harmless trick you can try to get to your System or Boot menus is to re-start the computer over and over, each time tapping a single F-key from F-1 to F-12 until you either get a menu to reset system settings, where you can explore the options there and see if anything obvious is wrong, or a menu to boot from the last source that worked or boot from windows regularly and other options. Choose one of those and write down the F-key that took you there for future use.

  If Windows boots OK, do a system cleanup and defragmentation right away. It might be time to buy a good computer registry and other bug cleaning software program and use it on a regular schedule.

It had something about Bios to and etc.

• ANSWER:
  For non technical people who need a solution on how to fix the Blue Screen of Death, there is no simple answer to that.

  The Windows operating system constantly refers to the registry to get information about all of the components such as hardware and software which are installed on the computer. The registry tells Windows what to do and how to access the various programs, files, and processes.

  However, the registry can contain bad information which sends Windows off doing useless tasks or running unneeded routines. Sometimes errors occur including the blue screen of death. Other times the system slows down. Because of the sheer number of factors that can affect the registry, there’s no one size fits all approach. You can’t just go into the registry and remove the bad information because it’s nearly impossible to decipher which information is good and which information is bad. That’s a job better suited for software.

QUESTION:
I’ve got a few problems with Windows XP. Can someone help me please?
OK so here is a picture: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/155/unledcrg.png/

First: Why is there a little “X” near the Start Bar and how can i remove it? Its still there if i change the background or if i change the theme.

Second: Why are the titles under the icons placed in white rectangles and how can i change them back to normal?

I know there is no serious problem but its pretty annoying to see that little “X” and the titles placed in white rectangles. Thank you in advance for helping me.

Ubuntu display Problems: windows aren’t don’t redrawn quickly?
I have Ubuntu 8.04 with an Nvidia 250GTS card. I got the drivers installed and working kinda. Resolution is 1440×900. Often times, windows aren’t redrawn immediately, and I have to move the window to see changes. Menu items on the Gnome Panel stay highlighted. Maybe this is unrelated, but some sounds tend to linger under I move the mouse or a window. Can you point me to some solutions? Thanks in advance.

QUESTION:
1997 Firebird with electrical problems, windows, headlights , and blinkers?
My Gf has a 1997 Pontiac Firebird. The head lights Flicker, the driver side window does not open, the passenger side window works then stops responding and responds again after a couple of mins but very slowly, also the right blinker is solid when activated, you must manually move it up and down to give it the working effect. Is it possibly that all these share a common fault or are they many individual problems. Please feel free if you have a solution for entire or individual problems.

Thank you

• ANSWER:
  there is a lifted ground somewhere that needs grounding. An improper ground may effect one circuit real badly and also have influence on the rest of the car. the passenger window sounds like the window regulator needs adjustment. the windows on your car have self resetting load breakers. that is why it works, then does not.

Problems Accessing Windows Update Webesite and with my internet redirecting to random websites?
All of my host information is correct, and I have tried just about everything to try to get this windows update. I have also tried starting up in safemode to access it, but I also had problems with that. Help!

• ANSWER:
  It sounds like your computer is infected with a moderately serious virus. To remove it, visit the following page: http://www.kaspersky.com/virus-removal-tools. First, click on TDSS Killer, but if that does not find it, then download the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Removal Tool (all the way at the bottom). This should resolve the problem. After the scan and after you have quarantined the virus, you may need to reboot your computer. Let me know if this works or not.

QUESTION:
1999 Mustang electrical problems with windows and one rear turn signal.?
My windows and side mirror just stopped working, but the fuses are good.

Plus the tail lights on the left side only work only with running lights but not the turn signal, flashers or brakes. Since there are three bulbs all doing the same thing it can’t be the bulbs themselves, and again I can’t find a simple fuse problem.

Any ideas on what is causing these problems? Or can you show me a resource on the web that has a troubleshooting wiring diagram?

• ANSWER:
  It sounds like you have a short somewhere. Get yourself a Klymer’s shop manual or Chilton’s and see if you can identify the common circuit that applies to the things that don’t work.

  My guess is that a wire has chaffed and the insulation has come off allowing it to ground out on something.

  Good Luck…electrical problems are the hardest things to troubleshoot.

Internet Explorer 7 upgrade problems…windows stops responding and fails to close, and ideas how to fix this?
Ever since I’ve downloaded the Internet Exployer upgrade to 7.0 from a 6.0 I’ve been having problems with windows closing. I click the red box with the X in it to close a window and nothing happens. I open the Windows Task Manager and it shows the program is not responding and I have to close it manually. This happens almost every time, and I can not find a fix for it or get any help from Microsoft without paying .00 for the tech support. HELP! FYI===I have Windows XP, I have Gateway with a Celeron processor 200 GHz 248 MB of RAM and I don’t use my computer for storage very many files, so I have over half of my hard drive avail.

• ANSWER:
  IE7 still has some bugs in it and might be a headache for a little while. I would go back to internet explorer 6 for the time being until Microsoft can start fixing all the problems its having with IE7. I’m sure there will be fixes sometime soon. Your other option is to go with Firefox.

QUESTION:
If you have problems with Windows, is it better to reinstall the whole system or repair?
My tech is telling me he was to reinstall Windows, and I would love to be able to keep my information. He is not able to explain why reinstalling overcomes reparing?

Is there such this as a need to reinstall Windows every 6 months? He is telling I need to do this every six months.

• ANSWER:
  It`s not necessary to reinstall every six months, it depends how much build up of old Windows files etc.
  I tend to do it every few months as it gets computer running as new again.

  It`s not always possible to do a repair, maybe that`s why he wants to reinstall.

  You should do regular back ups so that you always have your personal files to reinstall after a format.

QUESTION:
Has anybody had problems with Windows Vista connecting to a wireless internet connection?
If so what was/is the solution please? I would appreciate it very much if somebody could help me with this query as I have tried everything and its driving me mad. Lol. I have heard its quite common with windows Vista but nobody that I know personally could solve it for me so I appeal to you on here now. Many thanks.

• ANSWER:
  I had the same problem connecting my laptop to my parent’s older WiFi setup. For me, resetting the wireless card (one of the options when ‘Diagnose Problem’ popped up) worked. Sometimes I had to attempt the connection 2-3 times still, but it would eventually go through.

  If you are by any chance running an Intel wireless card, I would suggest using Intel ProSet instead of letting Windows handle wireless. It works a lot better and is a free download from the Intel site.

QUESTION:
Is any one else suddenly having more problems with Windows Vista?
I have been having mouse problems. Also, I opened a spreadsheet and my dates were reformatted to numbers.

• ANSWER:
  You should scan your registry to find out the reasons! Because most computer problems are born in a part of your system which hardly anyone knows or understands – the registry. This is the central database of Windows, which actually stores some of your computer’s most important files and settings. Everything from your latest emails to your desktop wallpaper are kept in this database, making it one of the most used parts of the Windows system.Because it’s used so much, the registry database is actually prone to becoming corrupt and damaged, which makes Windows struggle to read the files inside it. Unfortunately, 100′s of registry files are corrupted every week and Windows has no way to protect against it – it’s this problem which causes most of your computer’s problems. The problem is that when these files are corrupted, your PC actually takes longer to read them and often can’t read them at all.This causes errors on your PC which seem to appear randomly. You can use a Registry cleaner. http://cleanup-comuter-run-perfectly.com
  Registry cleaners are tools which have been created to scan through the registry. They work by scanning each file and then checking to see if it’s corrupt or causing problems. If they find that it is broken, the registry cleaner will replace or fix the file for you to make your computer speed up and become free of errors. You should have a try! Good Luck!

Problems with windows vista minimising programs when idle?

QUESTION:
What are some problems with Windows Vista?
Problems that are recent and occur on either Home Basic or Home Premium. I am asking this because I had Home Premium and on a fully capable Acer duel-core (according to the Microsoft website) and it ended up freezing (completely so that I literally had to pull the plug and reboot), not accepting my printer all the time, and never accepting my speakers. What when wrong? Note: It wasn’t viruses or spyware.

P.S.
What’s with the fact that the hibernate feature in Vista works so that it wakes up when you move the mouse and not when you push the power button like in XP. Does anybody else think that Microsoft launched a crappy untested product (Vista) without testing it fully.

P.S.2.
Would Dell be a good place to buy a future WORKABLE computer with Vista.

P.S.3.
What are some other problems with Vista?

• ANSWER:
  Some of the current issues with Windows Vista include lack of driver support and high RAM requirements (2GB+ recommended). The majority of driver support issues stem from the 64-bit version of Vista while 32-bit users seem to be encountering less problems. Personally, I have noticed no issues concerning driver support and have had little to no problem with Vista in this area.

  The RAM requirements can also confuse people at first, especially when you see how much memory Vista is using up when you are using few applications. This is due to a new philosophy Microsoft is using to manage memory, in a sense, Vista is “guessing” what types of things you are most likely going to do and then puts that information in RAM to speed up future tasks. Of course, 2GB is recommended, but if you are running Vista on 2GB of RAM and are noticing that you don’t have any “free” memory, it shouldn’t be a problem.

  In most cases, I would not recommend Dell for your computer purchasing needs. While I can applaud Dell for their “no questions asked” policy for providing the user with new power supplies, lost restore disks, etc., their computers are overpriced for the parts that they use. When you purchase a computer from a large distributor such as Dell, you are getting OEM parts. These parts are not necessarily up to the same standard as the parts you would buy at the stores (called retail parts). With OEM parts the company is able to save money as they are using hardware that does not quite meet retail standards. With this said, however, most people do buy new computers with OEM parts and their computers last for a number of years with little problem.

  If you are interested in a new computer you will need to examine what you will be using the computer for and then decide what you need. Smaller boutique integrators use retail parts and provide almost unlimited customization options to fit the end user. In addition, technical support is unmatched and any Vista issues you encounter will most likely be handled by speaking directly to the person who hand built your computer. This will avoid many problems as he or she will fully understand the ins and outs of your particular machine.

  When searching for a boutique integrator, the reviews at hardocp.com can help you get started. If you don’t like reading reviews, AvaDirect (avadirect.com), Maingear (maingear.com) or Velocity Micro (velocitymicro.com) are your best options. Each of these places will run a variety of tests over the course of a few days before they ship it to you in order to guarantee compatibility. In addition, if you ever have worries, you can call the company and speak to the person who built your computer.

  Since I bought from a boutique integrator, I have had no problems with Vista aside from a cheap webcam occassionally crashing my computer (the problem seems to be resolved now). Vista can thankfully identify the cause of a crash when it happens and let you know how to fix it.

  I hope this was of some help and good luck with finding a new computer. You can call any of the three companies that I listed above and ask them questions if you have further concerns.

QUESTION:
How do I download songs on my MP3 player (having problems with Windows Media Player)?
Hi. Well I got all of my tracks from my fave CDs downloaded to my Windows Media player library. When I try to click on devices to copy it to my little Sansa MP3, I get this pop up where I’m automatically taken to the Microsoft Windows Media player website. I don’t get it. Is there something else I’m supposed to download? The USB connection is ok. All help appreciated. Thanks!

• ANSWER:
  When you transfer music from windows media player, you need to press the sync button at the top of the page instead of clicking on the device.

  However, you don’t have to use media player. All you have to do is plug in your mp3, open the “My Computer” folder, and select the device from there. Once you open the device, you should see several folders. One of them is for music. Simply open the music folder and drag and drop any songs you want into that file from your “My Music” file on your computer. You can also delete songs off of your player from this same spot.

How do i Fix and Correct Disk Space Problems with Windows XP?
I ran into a problem with my C: & D: hard drives and Windows XP (SP1).
I just formatted and reinstalled Win98SE & then upgraded to XP. I then began to reinstall my other programs, such as virus protection. This is when I realized that my HD’s we’re not showing the true volume. They are both 40Gb’s each, but XP is telling me that they are 19Gb & 18.6Gb… Both have FAT32 file system. When I view the properties of the drives, for example my C: drive – master, and add up the Used Space – 7.02GB + the Free Space – 11.9GB = Total Size 18.92 GB. But the properties of the drive say 19.0GB. Regardless if it doesn’t add up, its still incorrect volume size. They should both be 40GB. Can anyone help me or explain what I need to do in order to fix this?
Thank you.

Here is a bit of details of my computer system:

Intel Cel 1.70Gh CPU

2 – 256K DDR Memory (32megs is shared) So I have a total of 480M of RAM

Both drives are IDE (I think) I don’t think they are SATA.

Both have SMART capability’s and SMART is enabled in BIOS.

I’ve been running XP (SP2) Pro since it first came out. I just ran into alot of problems with Virus, adware and junk that my teen son infected the home computer with. After attempting to clean it, I decided to just format and reinstall.
So, it has not been running 98 all this time.

My XP Pro is an upgrade CD that I bought back in 2002. It was running SP2 before the format plus all the automatic updates.

I just want to fix the hard drive volume issue before I download and install SP2 and all the updates…..

  Go to CONTROL PANEL
  Make sure you are in “Classic View” which is an option on the left side.
  Go to PROGRAMS & FEATURES
  Look on the left sidebar again for “Turn Windows Features ON and OFF”
  List takes a minute or so to populate, when it shows up find and click the checkbox next to GAMES then save!

QUESTION:
Do you have any problems with Windows Vista?
I recently bought a laptop with Vista Home Basic on it and it have some errors with some of the software e.g. Windows Media Player. Do u have any problems or glitches with vista? Should i upgrade to Vist Home Premium or Ultimate?

• ANSWER:
  A problem with one vista wont be less of a problem with the higher price ones. It is a new OS so it will take time for all the bugs to be out of it…and all the programs..etc to be stable with it. I myself am going to wait a while before I upgrade.

QUESTION:
Mouse problems windows vista?
I’m having some very annoying problems with my mouse, sometimes the left and right click wont work on program windows. But it always works just fine on the taskbar and start menu?
uall point out some good points but the thing is assuming its a not the hardware what would the problem be? let me also ask y’all to please read my question more carfully cause i said it Always is fully functional when it comes to the taskbar and start menu just not on windows of programs.
Windows Programs

• ANSWER:
  First of all, try restarting your computer.

  Assuming you’ve already tried that, try a new mouse if you have one available. Try both a PS/2 mouse and a USB mouse if possible. (Remember, you have to shut down your computer while you plug in a PS/2 mouse)

  Consequently, unplugging and re-plugging the mouse will reset the driver, so any simple software issues will be resolved.

  If it’s still not resolved, you may have a bigger problem. One possible source of information could be the Event Viewer. Press Start > Control Panel > Make sure you’re in classic view and click Administrative Tools > Event Viewer. On the left side of the screen, expand Windows Logs. Click System from the expanded list. Click on any entries on the main screen that is listed with a white exclamation point on a red circle. The lower section of the main screen should give you details. If you have any questions about the entries, you can e-mail me at jackbondnj16@gmail.com or jackbondnj16@yahoo.com and I’ll see what else I can do to help.

QUESTION:
are there really any real problems with Windows Vista?
like,does it really ask you to give permission to do almost everything, like you gotta confirm all kinds of stuff? and if you shut it off, it doesnt ask you anything? any other problems? im not a mac user, so don’t diss windows you windows haters. I know some of you will, but im looking for real answers.

• ANSWER:
  There are different versions of windows vista. You want to get Vista Home premium or higher. It has fancy menus and also if you do gaming or graphics its much better. It is a myth that you have to give programs permission to launch.

  You can choose to have it like that or not in the settings.

  The way it goes is lets say you want to launch a game you would click on it and it will show a box that says something like “You are about to run this game” and you just click your mouse and the game starts so it’s not a big deal. Its just 1 mouse click extra and adds to the security.

  It’s really good it has Antispyware built into it so you don’t have to spend money (Or waste your computers memory) on having a bunch of programs in memory.

  I have used all windows, 98 xp and Vista is best.

  People that own vista will tell you how awesome it is but the ones that diss it usually can’t afford it so they have to come up with some excuse why they haven’t upgraded.

QUESTION:
Computer Blue Screening on Startup?
A few weeks ago, my desktop began to blue screen on startup. It is a Dell Dimension e310 with windows xp. I’m pretty sure that the problem is outdated drivers, but getting them to update now is the problem. I don’t have the xp disks, as they did not come with the computer when I bought it 5 years ago. I have the software to update the drivers, but it blue screens even in safe mode. I’ve gotten to the startup menu, but I have no options to disable BIOS memory features. Any help?

• ANSWER:

QUESTION:
My computer shows Blue Screen at startup. How do I delete any of the recently installed software?
Runs on Windows Vista.
…but question is how do I go to control panel? I am unable to go beyond first screen.
…..same response to the “Google” suggestion – how do I reach there? since I am unable to go beyond BSOD. I have tried F8, but it keeps me at the screen which comes with “Microsoft Corporation” sign and keep showing the sign as if it is starting up.

• ANSWER:
  you might want to try safe mode at boot keep tapping F8 and choose safe mode

  also you might want to google the blue screen stop code 0X000000

  it might give you an idea as to what is causing the BSOD

QUESTION:
Blue screen on computer startup: “A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent…?
OK, so earlier today, my computer did a routine update, and when I clicked restart now, on the startup, my computer went to the following screen (and does so every time I try to start it up):

{{{

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you’ve seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.

Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup options, and then select Safe Mode.

Technical Information:

*** STOP: 0x0000007E (0×80000003, 0x805c49B8, 0xBACCF2DC, 0xBACCEFD8)

}}}}

The brackets are not involved in the problem, just showing where it starts and ends.

Also, I cannot run the computer in safe mode or any other mode without getting this screen. I’ve tried to read other things about this problem, but can’t seem to figure out any solutions. I am using Windows XP, a Dell laptop (Latitude D830), and do not have the recovery disk or anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

QUESTION:
Blue screen when i try to startup my computer?
i have a computer windows XP.
and i was playing a computer game (sims 2) when it froze, so i turned of the computer manually, and i tried turning it back on and it shows a blue screen , it has writing on it, i forgot what it says, but now i cannot start my computer cause it stops and freezes on this ?
help !

• ANSWER:
  This is commonly referred to as the Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD). It tells you that something is seriously wrong with your computer, the writing will give a computer tech an idea of what exactly is wrong. It could be anything from missing or corrupted Windows files to damaged or broken hardware, depending on the information provided on the page.

  You can try writing down the information on the BSOD and researching it yourself (Google is a great resource), or taking your computer to a professional for help.

  Good Luck

QUESTION:
When i startup my computer, it gives me a blue screen of death.?
When i start up my computer, it gives me the loading microsoft picture, then it gives me a blue screen of death for a split second, which i can’t read and it repeats itself. I tried it on Safe mode, and all of it does not work. My computer is Windows XP Professional.

• ANSWER:
  its times like these when you really wish you had backed up your files with things like Carbonite, or if you have already, then you are really glad you did. If your system won’t work in Safe Mode then is not much else you can do other than insert the XP cd and reinstall windows xp. If it continues to crash after that, then it is a hardware problem.

  If you have important data, you can try programs like spinrite and you may be able to fix it if its a drive hardware issue.

  Once you get your computer back I suggest using the system that I use for saving data. I use Paragon Drive Backup Express, free version. and I have installed 2 hard drives, both 500Gb. One I use for my operating system and files, the other I only store backup files made by Paragon Drive Backup

QUESTION:
I cant get computer to startup in safemode? Any Alternatives?
Blue screen error, in normal startup
blue screen error in safe mode

Im willing to re install xp because all my important data (music movies hwk etc, saved on an external)
My computer goes to blue screen right where the black windows xp screen shoots up and the windows symbol is showing. 2 seconds in it kicks to blue screen.

how do i get to reinstall xp.
how do i set up my external hard drive to be my main (where my computer boots from it)

• ANSWER:
  You have hardware problems. If you are blue screening at startup you have issues.

  You are not going to be able to load any OS until your computer is fixed.

  I suggest you re-seat the RAM. (it is worth a shot). Maybe take one stick out (if you have two) and try to boot. If it does not boot then try the other (if you have two).

  Judging by your question it seems that you do not have enough knowledge of computers to fully troubleshoot the problem. I would recommend that you take it to a computer repair shop to have it diagnosed if a simple reseating and swapping of the RAM does not help.

My computer gives the blue screen of death at startup?
It says “The system could not start because the files 32user.dll could not be found” How do I get rid of it and get back on my computer? (I’m on my laptop, it was on my desktop.)

• ANSWER:
  The blue screen of death, also known as the blue screen of doom or simply blue screen, is one of the most notorious error messages in Windows based operating systems. To fix blue screen errors, you can safely assume that there’s something going seriously wrong in your operating system. Unfortunately for us, and even the highest trained computer technicians, fixing the blue screen of death isn’t always as simple as we’d like it to be, and it can take an obscure amount of PC knowledge to get to the root of the problem.

• ANSWER:
  Is your computer freezing or crashing or getting the blue screen error?
  We all know how annoying this can be.
  Especially when you’re in the middle of a project and lose hours worth of work because you computer froze up.
  Here are a few tips you can use to stop your computer from freezing up or getting the blue screen of death.
  Unless you have a hardware problem,
  like a hard drive going bad or a video card driver problem the reason you’re computer is freezing or crashing is because of registry errors.
  95% of the time this is biggest cause of freezes and other general problems like slow start up,
  slow shutdowns, blue screen error, freezing, slow applications and a general lack of computer performance.

QUESTION:
Can’t get Computer to start up after it freezing and then blue screen at startup?
Hello everyone, I have problem. (Obviously. lol)
Last week, my computer has gone into a state to where it won’t startup correctly. It’ll startup just as fine, but once it tries to get to the login page, it gives me a black screen of nothing. My OS is Window Vista.

Now, my computer has a bit of history for messing up on me, and usually it would fix itself and go about it’s business as usual. I got this computer back in Jan 2010, and it started to mess up on me around … April or Jun maybe? It started to mess up when I downloaded a Virus software, not knowing that downloading multiple soft wares could mess up your computer, so when I went t uninstall it and didn’t restart my computer, the computer begin to mess up really bad. Yet, I learned and it started to mess up from there.

I fixed it by system restore, but even then it was still freezing on me, and just giving me a headache. But that’s when it started going through it’s Disk checks. And once it did it’s disk checks, the freezings of the computer began to go down. They would still happen, it’s just not that much.

Lately, the computer hasn’t been through its disk checks at all. It went for about week before freezing on me (Like it usually does before I have to manual restart the computer and it goes through it’s disk check), but this time it didn’t go for its check. Instead, it gave me a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death)

Of course, it disappeared before I could even see it, but that’s when the computer restarted and it recommended me to do a startup repair. So I did, and restarted the computer, and that’s when the computer started giving me a black screen, only showing my cursor.

I’m trying to see if I can fix this problem on my own before I result to taking my computer to the PC repair shop. Could anybody give me an idea on how I can fix this?

Also, I’ve tried to go into Safe mode, and it would let me. It’ll give me the same black screen with the cursor being only shown, and won’t do anything.

I’ve also tried to system restore, and there were no restore points to choose from. System repair wouldn’t work, because it said the system was working fine. (Which it isn’t.)’

I hope I explained everything clearly.

So… Help please?

Oh, and the computer I own is a Toshiba Satellite.

• ANSWER:
  it’s totally fudged i’m afraid mate. if you have recovery disks i would recommend using them.

  try holding down f8 as soon as you turn the PC on it should give you options to go into recovery console and click full restore, if this does not work then i’m afraid you might have to either get your hard drive replaced or buy a new computer. i would suggest having the hard drive replaced as it is a lot cheaper. wish i could be of more help mate sorry.

Blue Screen of Death at startup of windows 2000 computer. Can’t do anything about it.?

How do I wipe my computer before startup?
Ok, well i’ve just decided to wipe my computer because it won’t turn on. I’ve had the problem before and this time it wont stop. My computer turns on, and right before startup it shows the blue screen for half a second, then restarts. What do I push to go into the recovery wipe setup before my computer turns on? I fixed it like that last time, but i forgot what button to push before startup.

  You know, perhaps you might not need to wipe your computer. If you do the following, you will be able to read what the stop error/blue screen says. Then, you would be able to tell us that error and we could help you solve it.

My computer shows blue screen saying unmountable boot volume. What do I do?
When I turn my computer on, a startup menu appears asking if I want to restart my computer using safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, last known good configuration, or start windows normally.

QUESTION:
Windows XP computer: blue screen error and start up loop?
OK: so, I’ve been having computer problems recently, and currently I’m using my sisters computer to ask this.
It started a long time ago, when a pop-up came up upon startup and said “logon.exe” could not be found. Turns out it was a virus, btw, but we got rid of it yesterday.
But anyway, so that was going on for a while but I assumed it was something I accidentally deleted from doing a ctl+alt+delete. Then, like 5-7 days ago, my computer would squeal and make terrible noises when I turned it off. This lasted, oh, maybe two days, and then it happened. I started to get the Blue Screen Error of death. I didn’t know what to do whenever it showed up, so I instinctivly shut off/restarted the computer. The screen would show up unprovoked. Whether I was writing a Word Doc, checking my email, or just letting my computer run while I was off doing something else. It even would come up as soon as the computer turned on sometimes. I didn’t know what to do, and then Microsoft went me the notice about it and I did the whole “send error report” thing, and it took me to the microsoftt site, where it gave me some instructions on what to do, but I was having a LOT of trouble backing up my files, as it suggested, before I downloaded the thing that was supposed to fix it. So, I managed to use the backup program for my C drive and some parts of the D drive, but not everything. Whatever I couldn’t get backed up that way, I simply copied it to an external HD, since I figured it was about the same thing.
I got everything I could find copied (that the computer would allow) and so since I NEED my computer for school, I downloaded the Microsoft’s fix and let it run. I hadn’t had the stupid blue screen show up all day, and so I wasn’t entierly worried about it showing up while the fix was installing/running/whatever it was doing, so I stepped away for about 10 minutes. When I came back, the blue screen was up. For how long, I dont know, and I dont know if the program that was supposed to fix it finished what it needed to do. But now, I can’t even start my computer.
At first it looked like maybe my data was gone, so I panicked and turned off the computer. This was probably my first mistake. Because now, whenever I try to start up the computer, the startup loops endlessly. I do the F8 thing to get the OS menu, but no matter what it wont start up in any setting. Not even Safe Mode. If everything safely transfered to the external HD, I’ll be somewhat OK, but I dont want to loose all of my internet favorites (I had a ton of them, some I dont even know the URL names to just because they’ve been accessed only through the favorites menu.)
I really dont want to bring in the computer to the guy who fixed it last time, because it’s like at least and I need my money for school. I’ve asked friends and my dad (who at one time was fairly tech savvy but now, who knows…) and no one knows what to do other than bring it in. And I have a lot of personal information on my computer that I dont want anyone to access so I dont want just some skeezy guy (my dad brought it to the shop last time, I’ve never met the guy who worked on my computer last) opening up my computer and decideing to take a feild trip through my HD for kicks and giggles. And I’m afraid to put the external HD in my sisters comp to make sure it all transfered over because I dont want any potental viruses to get into her computer because of me.
Usually I consider myself fairly knowladgable about computers… until stuff like this happens.
Please, any constructive help at all would be appreciated SO much. Thanks for reading, and if you need any further details for help I could try to explain a bit more.

• ANSWER:
  Do you have your original Windows XP installation CD? If yes, insert into your CD drive and reboot. If your computer will not reboot from your CD drive, you will need to get into your computer’s BIOS settings and tell it to do so.

  Once you boot from your Windows CD, there is a ‘Repair’ option that you can select. That might at least help your computer to boot up. From there you can install a couple of repair programs.

  One popular site that offers 2 free repair program for the Blue Screen of Death includes the ‘Blue Screen of Death Repair Tool’ and a registry repair program called ‘Regcure.’ You can download them at the Error Nerd site. But this only helps you if you can at least get your computer to boot in Safe Mode with Networking. See source below.

  It sounds like you could have multiple problems from a corrupt registry to missing or corrupt operating files stemming from viruses or spyware.

  Also, if you can reach that point where you can boot up again, do a CHKDSK on your drive and DEFRAG it as well.

  To do a Chkdsk, click START > RUN > type CMD > type CHKDSK C: /F

  And for Disk Defragmenter, click START > ALL PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEM TOOLS > DISK DEFRAGMENTER

  YouTube has some decent short videos on how to repair your computer too: http://video.google.com/videosearch?hl=en&q=how+to+fix+blue+screen+of+death&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=rQ-GSvz3JYv4sQP8o5CZBw&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4#

  Lastly, you want to download a free copy of Iobit’s Advanced System Care program. It will protect your PC from spyware, repair your PC, optimize it and so much more. Visit them at: http://www.iobit.com

  In short, start by booting from your original XP CD and doing a REPAIR to at least get you back into your computer.

  Good luck!

Blue Screen at Startup on windows xp?
When I turn on the computer a blue screen comes up with NO login in box to login into the computer but if I turn off the computer and login into safe mode it works fine. Any ideas on what is going on or how to fix it?

• ANSWER:
  Well you might have something known as the “Blue Screen of Death” which means that you’re having problems with your Operating System.

  The first thing you need to do is reboot your system

  If that doesn’t work, go into Safe Mode by clicking F8 during setup and try to reboot your computer from Safe Mode

  If that doesn’t work, try using a Boot Disk to bring it back up

  If all else fails, use either an Emergency Repair Disk or a Recovery Console

Now I can’t go into safe mode to delete the file because it just restarts, how the hell do I get to delete the file?

I need to fix it ASAP because I just bought a new 8800GTX and Im dying to use it.

• ANSWER:
  The blue screen of death, also known as the blue screen of doom or simply blue screen, is one of the most notorious error messages in Windows based operating systems. To fix blue screen errors, you can safely assume that there’s something going seriously wrong in your operating system. Unfortunately for us, and even the highest trained computer technicians, fixing the blue screen of death isn’t always as simple as we’d like it to be, and it can take an obscure amount of PC knowledge to get to the root of the problem.
  90% registry cleaner can fix the blue screen.

QUESTION:
How do I fix my computer from Blue Screen and Can’t Find Hard Drives?
——————————————————————————–

I have a Dell Dimension Desktop. The other day our power suddenly went off and when the power came back on my computer would not work. A Blue Screen appears when Windows is trying to open and states, “Unmountable_Boot_Volume,” I have tried to load Windows in Safe Mode and everything- nothing works. So, I downloaded startup disks from Microsoft so I could repair windows, but once I get to the screen in Setup after hitting “r” it states, “Did not find hard disk drives installed.” Does anyone know how I might fix this???

THANK YOU!
HOW DO I GET TO RECOVERY? WINDOWS DOESN’T START ON MY COMPUTER
Okay…i guess i’m computer ignorant- how do you test the hard drive on another computer

• ANSWER:
  That happened recently to one of my computers. Lost power and then lost the hard drive. The hard drive was beyond repair and I had to get a new one (which is working just fine). Is there someplace you can take the hard drive to test in another computer? You can then rule out if it is the hard drive or something else. Good luck.

QUESTION:
another blue screen startup problem on xp?
my computer has been working for a while and im proud of how fast it is, i believe three months a go i kept on getting a blue screen right after the dell system startup. heres how my computer starts:
Dell system startup
choose a configuration to startup:
-safe mode
-safe mode with networking…etc
then two seconds of the XP loading screen and then BOOM blue screen…all the time
i cant start xp no matter what i try to do, ive tried everything i know to do, cud i plz get some help, ill do almost anything, even reinstalling xp if i have to and can, heres my error message if it helps

***STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF79FC528, 0xC0000034. 0×00000000. 0×00000000)
also due to the fact of this problem, i cant do anything to the computer involving xp, im basically stuck at the startup screen before i load xp

• ANSWER:
  I am not good with things like this but i can tell you that if you re-install windows and this still happens, your HDD is faulty. Also when you start in safe mode, it sometimes gives you a message while launching that there is a .dll or .exe that wants to execute and to press ESC if you want it to launch, never press escape unless you are sure you know what this is, if you do not leave it and windows will start, now search that file with the windows build in search and delete it!

QUESTION:
Blank blue screen on startup (Vista Home Premium)? Help!?
The other day, my computer was running normally until it suddenly froze and brought me to a blue screen that stated Windows was having errors (or something similar; the screen flashed too quickly to be read). Since then, whenever I attempted to start up my computer, a BLANK blue screen appears for a while before my regular desk top finally loads and everything continues as normal.

I’m concerned about this blank blue screen, however. After a bit of searching the internet, I’ve gathered that I ought to try using Startup Repair. My question is: should I? And how would I do this? In safe mode?

It may be worth mentioning that my computer came with Vista Home Premium pre-installed; I don’t have a separate Vista CD.

Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!
Thank you for your input, but I tried using

System recovery options > Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool

and it fixed the problem.
Thank you for your input, but I tried using

and it fixed the problem!

• ANSWER:
  There are many reasons that will lead to your computer has blue screen:
  1. The virtual memory was not enough and lead to a mistake.
  2. The CPU usage was enough.
  3. Memory Bank was broken will cause the wrong operation.
  4. The Free Space of Disk or too much cookies.
  5. System Hardware conflicted.

  So, you could do some measures to avoid the blue screen.
  1. Download good optimizer software to save more space of your computer.
  2. Clean up the Registry Errors.
  3. From the Control Panel, click the System button, check the Device Manager, if there is a yellow exclamation mark, you could reinstall it.

  You could use Perfect Optimizer to solve the two upper troubles. If these measures could not work well, you should fix it sooner or later.

QUESTION:
Netbook blue screens at startup.?
I have an Acer Aspire One netbook. i have never had any problems with it at all. This morning when i went to turn it on, it got to the XP loading screen then i got a bsod that flashed for just a second then it restarts prompting to run windows normally, or in safe mode. i try booting it in safe mode but the same thing happens. since it is a netbook, there is no cd drive, i cannot use any windows cd’s to boot off of. My main computer is an iMac and i’ve tried getting the ultimate boot cd to run off of a flash drive, but i keep running into problems there as well.
Now it will not boot from a usb. i figured out that if i press alt+f12 i can go into recovery mode without actually running windows. i installed a linux distro that fits on a usb drive so i can try to obtain some of my data before restoring. but it will not boot from the usb. I changed the boot order, and also pressed f12 which brings up the menu to specify the device to boot from. I selected USB HDD. but when the computer starts i see the usb drive flash for a moment, then it just goes back to the start windows normally prompt.

• ANSWER:
  The operating system has corrupt start up files you need to order the system recovery disc or flash drive from http://support.acer.com/Default.aspx by model and serial number. Then you can do a system repair or install a new operating system.

QUESTION:
Problem with xp startup – blue screen of death?
I recently got a virus on one of my laptops. When I tried restarting, it asked me which mode i wanted to log on with. I tried with both reg & safe mode, but keep getting the blue screen of death. I can’t even read what it says when that blue screen pops up b/c my computer just restarts a split second after and repeats as a continuous cycle. What can I do? & Is it possible at ALL to retrieve my files?

• ANSWER:
  How to fix blue screen?

  1. The Windows registry is of a lot of importance to the working of the computer system as it stores valuable data if tampered can cause serious loss in performance of the system. It can also cause blue screen so that you should clean up the registry.

  2. Virus can inflect your system badly. It is the main reasons to cause blue screen so that you should completely scan and remove the threats information from your PC.

  3.You should confirm if you have installed a new device in your computer before your computer got blue screen. And uninstall it to see if the problem still existed.

Just one random night, I try to turn on my laptop, and before my computer even got to the startup, it showed a blue screen with some type of error called “bad_system_config_info”

BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO

I’m not able to read the rest of it, because it shuts off my computer or restarts it in about 2 secs from when it shows. It’s really frustrating. It will NOT let me get on whatsoever.

I want to reformat it, but I need to get 2 IMPORTANT folders from it before i format it. I can’t lose them. But I can’t even get on, so is there any way to at least get on my computer just to get the files and then get off..?

By the way, I tried safe mode, ALL of the safe modes, starting windows normally, and restarting it to another time where it worked. ALL of it still showed the blue screen. I also can’t do system restore, i’ve tried that also.

QUESTION:
Windows XP computer won't startup. (HELP!)?
I have a HP desktop computer with XP. I was working yesterday, and a blue screen popped up and the first line said something like "Windows has detected a problem and is shutting down to prevent damage to your computer." I can't remember what all of the text in the middle of the page said, but I do remember the last line saying "Beginning physical memory dump." The computer then shut down. When I turn it back on, it displays the blue HP startup screen (like normal), then it goes to a black screen that says "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key." That is as far as I can get it to go. (I am on my laptop now.) Anything else I press, it just thinks for a minute, then displays the message again. I can't get it to go to my desktop, or even the login screen. Any help is appreciated.
Tried unplugging everything except the monitor and power. . . that didn't work.

When I start it up, I tried to press F8 and F10, but neither did anything.

I'm saving System Restore for last, but I might have to do it.
Thanks, but I took apart the computer and pushed on the wires leading from the hard drive. This fixed it.

• ANSWER:
  Mine did almost the same exact thing. And when I tired starting it back up it wouldn't do anything at all. Maybe your computer is old, like 5 years at least? Mine was that old, so it's going bad. Maybe yours is too.
  What I had to do was do a recovery on my computer. Didn't really lose a whole lot of stuff. Well at least nothing important.

New Macbook Air Blue Startup Screen Problem?
I got home from school, opened up my Macbook to this blue screen. It was frozen there so I just let it sit for a while, then it went to like this greyish screen. I purchased this Macbook on April 2nd, and I don
t know a lot about computers. Thank you.

• ANSWER:

QUESTION:
A blue screen keeps popping up on my computer. There is a message on that screen. What does it mean?
Here is the message that appears on the blue screen.

"A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you’ve seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to be sure you have adequate disc space. If a driver is identified in the Stop message, disable to driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.

Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode emove or disable components, restart your computer, press F* to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance."
After that screen appears, I turn the computer off, wait a few minutes, then turn it back on. Sometimes, the blue screen will reappear, but sometime Windows will begin to load, and then this screen appears:

"We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware of software change might have caused this.

If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectantly, or was automatically shut down to protect your files and folders, choose Last Know Good Configuration to revert to the most recent settings that worked.

If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power failure or because the Power or Reset button was pressed, or if you aren’t sure what caused the problem, choose Start Windows Normally.

Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt

Last Know Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked)

Start Windows Normally"
The only option that will work is 'Last Know Good Configuration.' The other options will cause the blue screen to appear again. My computer will also not allow me to access Advanced Startup Options by selecting F8. Does anyone know how I can prevent this blue screen from appearing?

COMPUTER/BLUE SCREEN/VIRUS/MEMORY PROTECTION?
Hi, I posted about a computer virus a few days ago. And I tried some of the things people suggested AND:
- the virus infected the 'command prompt' so that didn't work
- I tried the killbox, the virus got a hold of that as soon as I entered it
+ the constant reminders of a virus has slowed down
+ the constant random porn sites opening stopped

I just now downloaded something to enter into the safe mode but now when I try to go into safe mode this pops up:

p.s. I'm using a IBM thinkpad.2 hours ago

Additional Details:
I downloaded the kaperky (that virus thing you suggested) and tried to do it but that was right before I saw the blue screen.

I got all my important files off so I don't mind formatting it.

And I think I'm too much of a wuss to take my laptop apart.

“disabled: normal state

now my question is, would setting to disabled help my situation??

  Whoa, Whoa, Whoa … Information Overload !!

  Now, I know all the people who answer questions hear prefer as much info in the question as possible (including myself) but this is a case of too much information or to be fair too much information that can’t be easily read. A good bit of proper formatting would do a lot of good.

  Anyways, you don’t need to open up your laptop (unless you are using the absolutely final fix – replacing your hard drive) so don’t think about this yet.

  Try to follow this malware removal guide (link below) and the removal steps afterwards – it should be able to help you. And as said before, worst comes to worst, you’ll have to reformat your hard drive by running a new installation of Windows or replace it then reinstall your operating system o the new drive.

But i don’t think it’s an overheading problem, what could be wrong. (remember, i started getting random blue screens and not being able to start my computer but it was still on back then, just didn’t even get to POST) but now i get past post, but it turns itself of. is it PCU?, CPU? motherboard? heat?

QUESTION:
Dark blue screen on my computer?! Help!?
My computer was working perfectly fine two days ago, but I restarted it because I had just reset my internet, as I do every day. It began starting up fine and flashed to me the big DELL screen with DELL in blue letters. After that screen, it goes to a very dark blue screen and does nothing else. The monitor is fairly new, and the computer was just recently revamped. I can still hear sound from the computer whirring when I turn it on, but I can never get past the startup screen with the blue DELL on the black background.

What could be wrong with my computer?
It’s not exactly the blue screen of death, I’ve had that before, but it’s a very very dark blue with nothing on it. It almost looks black but you have to look at it well to see that it’s actually blue.

• ANSWER:
  Yeh. Someone is making it not load up all the way so it’s crashing. Part of me is thinking the monitor is busted. Go behind the computer and check the wiring a bit (you said you revamped it so I’m assuming you know a little about computers). Make sure everythings plugging in right. You might have a virus that killed your comp though.
  Think if theres anything you downloaded recently or if you did ANYTHING to the computer the previous day. I’m thinkin’ it could be a virus too since you rebooted it when the problem occurred.

QUESTION:
My computer screen turned blue. What does this mean?
The screen turns blue with an error message when going/playing on anything randomly. It mostly happens when playing on full screen downloaded games. but also happens while on the internet at times.

This is what it says:

“A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to precent d…(runs off screen)

If this is the first time you’ve seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufactors for driver updates. Try chaning video adapters.

Check with your harware vendors for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use SAFE mode to remove or disable componets,restart your computer, press F* to selects Advanced Startup Options, and then selects Safe Mode.

• ANSWER:
  Well, what you are seeing is commonly refered as the “Blue Screen of Death”, and means that something happened within your computer that could have crashed it. Try restarting your computer, and when you load windows, see if there is a dialog box that will say “Windows has recovered from a serious error”, and it should pop up when you get into your profile. There should be a button that will let you report the problem to Microsoft, but you probably won’t get help that way. Try contacting Microsoft on their web site and tell them what is happening, if it happens again. Vista is still in it’s early stages, and has many problems. Good Luck!

QUESTION:
Computer Blue Screen of Death STOP error?
I recently got an error. My computer would keep restarting automatically when i started it up. In order to stop that, i chose the option at startup (F8) to not automatically restart on critical error. Now when i start it up, the blue screen is there instead of it automatically restarting. It says with the blue screen :

STOP : c0000021a {Fatal System Error}
The windows logon process system process terminated unexpectedly with status of 0xc000034 (0×00000000 0×00000000)

QUESTION:
Slow computer? Blue screen?
My mum’s Asus windows vista 32bit 1gb Ram computer is extremely slow. I timed it and it takes 28 minutes to turn on. And then you have to wait another 10 minutes for all the programmes to start up. I have turned off all the programmes that she dosen’t need at startup by going to misconfig but it is still slow. And it is constantly freezing, as soon as you try and open a floder etc, it freezes. And if you try and open task manager it is frozen for about 10 minutes and then it switches itself off. Sometimes (not very often) the blue screen comes up. It is even slow in Safe Mode.
A computer expert told us it might have a faulty ram. So I ran a scan on it using Memtest but it didn’t find any issues.
So what else could be the problem? And is it fixable without taking it to repairs? Cause if we have to do that, we’ll just buy a new computer. It will probably be cheaper.

• ANSWER:
  Clean windows registry means faster PC performance. The registry is one of the most valuable sections of your PC. This is where important information and directories relating to installed software, hardware, temporary files downloaded from the Internet, created documents and folders, and other minor and minor applications are stored.
  Over time, you install new programs, uninstalled unimportant programs, update software’s, install new devices, download files from the web, etcetera, hence embarking all records in the registry system. This is normal, but it is not wise to leave it untouched. Once in a while, you have to check and remove files that are no longer in use to maintain the speed of your PC.

QUESTION:
Blue Screen on Startup using Vista?
When I startup my Vista Home Premium computer, I get a few seconds of the Blue Screen, though everything turns back to normal and my computer is okay.

Facts:
I recently uninstalled the Norton Anti-Security that was preinstalled as part of the 30 day trial from Dell. Didn’t get that blue screen before. However, got it when I was trying the trial version of Zone Alarm and now get it when I resorted back to Norton (but downloaded a trial version).

Does the trial version of antiviruses cause this blue screen? And do I need even to worry about it if everything seems okay?

• ANSWER:
  you need to update your hardware drivers. probably display adapter drivers. the blue screen of death appears when the drivers for the video card hardware are corrupt, deleted or being in conflict with another software. its a possibility that your hardware driver files have been affected with some virus and the antivirus is blocking the hardware files from being loaded or it has deleted them. try running windows in safe mode.

QUESTION:
What is wrong with my Windows 7 Custom Built Computer (Blue screen and then black screen)?
Everything worked fine until today during my lunch hour, my quad gaming desktop (Windows 7 Custom Built Computer) went to a blue screen… I don’t remember what it said but there was enough white lettering to fill the screen, but then it disappeared and my screen when to a “no signal” mode which usually happens when its on standby. But this time the computer restarted itself everytime I pressed the enter key on the “start windows normally” but I have also pressed on the “launch startup repair” and it has gotten as far as my desktop (where I could see the mouse and my background with all my icons and taskbar) and it would end up doing the same thing again, over and over. But now I cannot get passed the enter key page (launch startup repair and start windows normally selections). Every time I hit enter for either of them, the screen goes black for about three seconds and then goes back to the very same options page. What should I do? I have AVG and when I got to my desktop, I had enough “time” to check to see if there were any threats, viruses, malware, and to make sure everything was still active in my AVG. Everything was great. I need to know if there are any keys that I should press to get my computer back up and running so I can start doing my “homework” for my business. I can give more info if needed.
Ok I tried the F8 thing… didn’t work… tried going into safe mode… didn’t work… and that BIOS thing, I have no idea where to even begin, since this computer was working fine for the past month that I have had it. It is not brand new, and doesn’t have a warranty or anything.
Do I have to hold down the F8 key? when should I do this? the computer shuts down and restarts on its own and says that it did not “successfully shut down”.

• ANSWER:
  Does it still display the Stop Error or Blue Screen? If it does, next time your computer restarts, press F8 and select ‘Disable reboot on system error’ or something like that, and then when the computer starts again, you can tell us the error listed (if you don’t know, it looks like 0x0000005R or something)

Anyway i was doing random things and all of a sudden my computer freezes, makes a repeating sound of the last sound that went off, (Probably footsteps) then the repeating went really fast and my computer blue screened and shut down (fans and all still on). it went to the motherboard startup screen all computers have (Energy star, or P5KPL-CM) saying its reliable and whatnot. but it was stuck there. so i click that restart button and now NOTHING happenes. i click the power button, and all that happenes is- the fans turn on. thats it. i dont even hear that beep when the somputer starts up. My keyboard/mouse dont turn on either. and nothing shows up on the screen. i opened it up and saw no Fried things, and my hardDrive isnt broken i dont think because its making that “Working” sound, those clicks, and i just dont know what happened.

I’m currently using an eMachines, Mircosoft Windows XP Home Edition desktop with SP2 (Service Pack 2). I’m about to upgrade to SP3 since I just finished a System Restore.

Why did I do a System Restore? This computer is about 2.5 years old. However, I’ve noticed a problem. Everytime it tries to shutdown when I click the shut down button or after it restarts itself (whether it’s from a newly installed program or etc.) it never shuts down and freezes completely. And every time the computer is off and I try to turn it on, it doesn’t do anything! The monitor just has a black screen with nothing on it and it says “No Signal” and it immediately goes black if I turn the monitor on. And the CPU (computer brain/hard drive) makes a startup noise for a long time and never starts up.

Now it’s very normal for the CPU to make the noise for 10 seconds or less, but now it makes the noise endlessly until the computer starts up. I have to keep turning the computer on and off by clicking the button on the computer brain up to at least 20 times if not more in order for it to start running properly. And sometimes when the computer is on and running properly, the hard drive makes the noise again out of nowhere and usually the computer screen goes black with the “No Signal” popup that is displayed for 5-10 seconds and goes black again.

I haven’t got any blue or black screens of deaths (BSOD) yet. Also, I did a Full System Restore/Recovery (Destructive) and the problems still aren’t fixed. A technician/cable guy came today and believes that it is a virus. How Do I FIX THIS PROBLEM?

I’ve been having this problem for a little over a month. At first, the problem wasn’t very serious and just made the noise for a very long time. Then in about a week, it made the noise for a long time and the screen went black and I had to restart it because when I moved the mouse or typed on the keyboard, the screen wouldn’t come up. And the problem got worse and worse and to the point where it costed me to DELETE EVERYTHING and start over new. Before, I had to keep unplugging the system (not doing it anymore now) and sometimes it would work (it doesn’t work much anymore).

What’s wrong with the computer? Is there something wrong with the startup/computer engine or does it really have a virus? Could my computer be affected by Generic.dx (a type of virus)? I tried a System Recovery and nothing seems to be working. Can an antivirus program repair the damage? Can I do anything to fix the computer without spending money?

I’m still able to get the computer to run up properly, but I have to go through hell in order for it to do so. Not to mention, I’m able to get online and I’m typing this question from this crappy computer. It’s all my fault. I should’ve done something when I noticed the problem at the start so I could’ve got rid of it sooner. The issue hasn’t been fixed yet. Any suggestions/answers/advice?

AMD Athlon 645 Processor 3200+
2.0 GHz
2000 MHz FSB
512 KB L2 Cache

Optical Drive
DVD+-RW 16x Double Layer

• ANSWER:
  You have a few options.

  I would say first, uninstall your antivirus and try Avast! (it’s free, and it can scan your computer before it gets into windows, which will be helpful for you).

  You can also try taking out your parts, one by one (I would start with your power supply, then video card, ram, hard drive, and motherboard) and see if they work in a friend’s computer.

  It definitely sounds like a hardware problem though, I haven’t heard of a virus that can make your press your power button repeatedly before it turns on

  Sounds like the power supply though. Try a friends (or try your power supply in their system) and see if it works. If not, get a new one.

QUESTION:
My computer always goes to startup repair and won’t boot up normally! How can I fix it?
My computer had a virus, so i used malwarebytes software to find infected files and remove them.
Then the program restarted my computer. I was so happy to see it working normally again for about 2 minutes before BAM blue screen of death attacked.
When I restarted the computer it seemed to go well, but before it got to the log in screen this thing called startup repair appeared. When it was done it said that it needed to restart. So it did. The second time it appeared it said no problems were detected. So I thought the computer was fine and restarted it. But it appeared a third time this time saying that there is a problem but it can’t be solved automatically.

I tried going into command prompt in recovery mode and typing things to scan the computer and such, but nothing worked. I tried getting my original disk and reinstalling windows 7, but it said it couldn’t since i was booting off of the disk (because i couldn’t boot normally, so i had to try booting off of the disk). I tried running it in safe mode but even then it goes to startup repair.
The one thing i took note of is that on the blue screen of death it said something like page_fault_in_nonpaged_area. I have no idea what that means.
The last modifications that might’ve caused the BSoD I remember making on my computer before the blue screen of death appeared, was: Think Point virus attacked my computer, I installed malwarebytes, and I used malwarebytes to scan my computer and remove all infected files.

But I don’t think I backed up my computer in a few days and I have this video that I was making for my friends birthday that I just started yesterday and worked on for hours and I need it soon!
I have no idea what to do now. I’m out of ideas.

If there is more information you need from me in order to give me a really amazing answer that will save me and give you best answer and make you the awesomest person ever, feel free to email me either on my yahoo account or at readyforspam@hotmail.com
I would really really really REALLY appreciate it!!!

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

• ANSWER:
  seems to be like a page file fault. what do you mean by ‘booting off of he disk’??

  anyway now the best thing to do is to do a fresh installation of windows. you said that first time it went up to the log on screen and got the blue screen. that means there are no boot errors and i don’t still get how you tried to reinstall windows!!

  to recover the video just plug the hard drive to another computer and copy the necessary files to that one.

  try to install win 7 in the normal method. if you explain what this “so i had to try booting off of the disk” means i can help you to figure out a method.

QUESTION:
Blue screen on startup?
I have an acer aspire 8930g laptop. It was working fine up until yesterday and then when I turned it off it no longer booted. I got a blue screen error before startup 0×00000024. I was told online to run chkdsk c: /r and I did that through command prompt as safe mode wouldn’t start but I can still boot from a disc. Afterwords I got 0x0000003B error. I turned the computer off again while seeing if I could get some answers online and when I restarted I got a 0x000000F4 blue screen error. If I let the computer run it will come to a black screen and say it needs to check my drive for consistency but will then say “????????” followed by “an unexpected error has occurred”. What is wrong with my laptop and how do I fix it? From what I have read, many say its a problem with the NTFS file system and the computer can’t read the drive correctly but what should I do about this? I am trying to get ahold of puppy linux which was also recommended to me.
System restore says there are no saved restore points even though I allocated maximum amount of space toward it. That was my first try to fix it.

QUESTION:
Is there a way to repair computer memory errors/ fix a blue screen of death?
Right now I’m running memtest86+ on my computer, and I’m seeing if my startup bluescreen error is due to faulty or mismatched memory.

QUESTION:
How to fix a computer that won’t go past the startup screen?
My computer only shows one screen, the start-up screen. It’s a HP Windows Vista. The screen it shows is powder blue with the words HP. At the bottom it gives directions of keys to press on the keyboard to fix it. I’ve tried unplugging it, using different keyboards and mouses, nothing works.

• ANSWER:
  The best option you should try is to re-install windows using the disk (If you have one), or trying to re-install using the secondary partition, and see if that fixes your problem…. Another option is to attempt to get into the BIOS and choose ‘Default’ configuration, and see if that helps. If these two options don’t work, you may need to take it in to get repaired, BUT I would avoid that until all other options are exhausted, due to the possibility of the problem being minor (Which I almost can guarantee it), avoid spending the money for a shop to charge you over 0 just to re-install windows or tweak your BIOS or something simple like that. Talk to your Friendly Neighborhood Geek that can take a look at the computer first-hand, and I bet he’ll fix it for you!

QUESTION:
Help with vista blue screen startup?
I need help with my Vista ultimate.
It’s currently running on a sony vaio sz series,
every time I start up, I get the vaio screen, then it shows the little status thing on the bottom of the screen with Microsoft Corporation and that vista is starting, then all of a sudden after about a minute or half i get the blue screen of death. it just stays for about 1 second then the computer restarts and it shows me a black screen asking me to try in safe mode, with command prompt, with networking, last known good configuration and normally.

I have already tried safe mode and it doesn’t work. any help?
the problem is that the BSOD just flashes for like 1 second and i dont get a change to read anything it says, then it reboots, i choose for example start normally, same thing happens, unless i put in the cd and then i click on repair, and it asked me to search for an OS but it doesnt list anything, ic an only lcik LOAD DRVIER and then i dont know what to search for. if i click next instead of load driver then i have options of startup repair system restore all that stuff, and startup repair dont work neither do the others.

• ANSWER:
  I would do what above said about contacting microsoft. However i think this is more hardware related. I think your RAM has gone

  Please email me with the STOP code you get when you get the BSOD and i will help you more.

  Also go to my site here

  http://www.freewebs.com/revollie/

  Click on the link about using Memtest and read that. I think you need to scan your RAM to check for problems. If any faults come up then there is something wrong with your RAM.

  Email me with any queries

  **********************
  Thats really odd. Usually the BSOD will stay up for a length of time to actually allow you to look at the stop code and to give you time to work on it.

  OK have you rueld out Viruses? eg have you used different software to check?

  Can you get into the system?
  If you can then go to Start>Control Pannel>Administrative tools>Event Viewer

  Then look under system and find a log probably with Error of Warning on that is in regard to the start up. Unfortunatley i dont know which one but have a look and any with warnings on or errors let me know. Also do a google search with the contents of the discripti0on to see if anyone else has a similar probrlem. I think oyu may after this have to think about backing up and reformatting.

QUESTION:
Problems with Graphics, Drivers, OS’, Crashes, Blue Screens and Horizontal lines?
Hi
I have just received a desktop computer in the post that I custom built. Specs:

- Intel CPU:Intel CPU Core i7 2600, 3.40GHz, 8MB CACHE, LGA1155
- Motherboards:Asus P8P67-EVO v3 Intel Mainboard (B3 Stepping) – 4x DDR3, 8x Sata, Gigabit Lan, 4x USB3.0, LGA 1155
- Desktop Hard Drives:Seagate Barracuda XT 3TB 7200RPM 64MB SATA3/2
- Optical Drives:Lite-On SATA Blu-Ray & DVD/CD Writer (12x Blu-Ray Write/ 20x DVDRW/ 48x CDRW) – Black
- Desktop Memory:Corsair 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL 9 DDR3 XMS3 (CMX8GX3M2A1600C9)
- Graphics Cards:Asus ATI RADEON 6950 2GB, DVI X2, HDMI, Display Port Graphic Card

The problem i’m having begins when I start installing Windows 7 via disk. The setup seems to work fine apart from that there is a bunch of colored horizontal lines on the screen. Not so much that I cant see what i’m doing but a significant enough amount to gather that there is something wrong. I know its not the screen. The computer and OS appear to be functioning %100 ok but the lines are still there. When I install the driver for my graphics card (via disk), the lines go away and the display looks perfect. BUT! As soon as the driver is installed, I then cannot restart or startup my computer without it crashing and giving me “Blue screens of death”. I can then not at all use my computer and in order to stop my computer from crashing I am forced to boot up in safemode and reinstall Windows via disk.
Can anyone help me? Thanks heaps

(I have tryed other drivers and other operating systems. No luck, same issue)

• ANSWER:
  Check your PCI-E settings in your BIOs and make sure that they correspond with your hardware set up. You may want to take one of the graphic cards out and try to run it with 1 card in. This way you are eliminating 1 factor from the problem. You didn’t list your PSU I assume it is putting out ample watts.

  But definitely try setting up with minimal components and see what happens. Thus making it easier to troubleshoot if it is a hardware or software issue.

QUESTION:
How do I turn my Vizio’s blue screen into a computer screen?
I was loaned my brother’s laptop this morning for a few weeks, but I can’t get the computer to turn on. The only way to get it to turn is the remote, and that just takes it to the blue screen. I click input, and put on RGB, HDMI 1, HDMI 2, AV, TV, and Component, and the only one that doesn’t go to a blue screen is the TV. I know the computer works, because he was on it this morning before he left. Please help!

• ANSWER:
  Ensure that the computer is outputting a signal to the TV. Hold down the Fn key and press the key for CRT/LCD (may be a video output symbol instead); this is usually F7 or F8. Or on Windows 7, you can also hold down Windows key and press P.
  You’re probably connected via RGB (the VGA cable), so try that input.

Why does my computer blue screen when I open Sony Vegas?
I have had Sony Vegas for over a year. Just now, after using it about a week ago, I tried opening it to edit a movie I made, and it made my computer blue screen, and instantly restart. When the computer was on, I tried again and got the same result. What happened?

• ANSWER:
  Blue Screen of Death
  The Blue Screen of Death (sometimes called “bluescreen”, “stop error” or just abbreviated as “BSOD”) is the popular name for the screen displayed by Microsoft’s Windows operating system when it cannot recover from, or is in danger of being unable to recover from, a system error (the Microsoft term is Stop error). There are two Windows error screens that are both referred to as the blue screen of death, with one (Windows NT 4/2000/XP/Vista) being significantly more serious than the other (Windows 9x). There are several causes of the blue screen popping up. It can be a poorly-written device driver, bad memory, damaged registry or usage of incompatible versions of DLLs (see more on the “Types of blue screens” section).
  The blue screen of death in one form or another has been present in all Windows operating systems since Windows version 3.1. It is the successor of the less well-known black screen of death that occurs in OS/2 as well as MS-DOS[1]. In early builds of Windows Vista it was complemented with a red screen of death, used for boot loader errors.

QUESTION:
blue computer screen discoloration?
Last night my computer screen turned a blueish hue; what should be white is more of a grey-blue, greens are yellow, reds are charcoal brown. Are there any easy remedies to this situation? I recently cleaned the screen with a soft cloth I use to clean my eyeglasses. Could that have done it in?

• ANSWER:
  The blue screen of death, also known as the blue screen of doom or simply blue screen, is one of the most notorious error messages in Windows based operating systems. To fix blue screen errors, you can safely assume that there’s something going seriously wrong in your operating system. Unfortunately for us, and even the highest trained computer technicians, fixing the blue screen of death isn’t always as simple as we’d like it to be, and it can take an obscure amount of PC knowledge to get to the root of the problem.
  90% registry cleaner can fix the blue screen.

QUESTION:
When I start up my computer the blue screen problem comes up?
Last night all I did was defrag my computer and then I get up and the blue screen of death thing comes up. I tried going into safe mode and all of that and it won’t even let me do that. I do not have windows XP disc. What does anyone recommend I do to solve this problem. Please help??

• ANSWER:
  Defragging is something you only need to maybe 2 or 3 times a year. Defragging every week just wears out your harddrive faster.

  However, there are other things that may have happened.
  1. If you machine tried to go into sleep or hibernation mode while it was defragging, you may have corrupted some data.
  2. You may have a virus that had a file that was in-use and your machine tried to move it during the defrag. Viruses don’t like it when you do that.
  3. If you were on battery power while trying to defrag and your battery died, you machine would turn off during a movement of files and that could corrupt your data.

  Whatever is in the harddrive’s cache is what the drive has not written to the platters yet. When the power dies, the cache disappears instantly.

QUESTION:
Computer shuts off without blue screen; How do I fix it?
My PC shuts itself off randomly every five minutes or so without any warning or blue screen. The computer has been doing this for about three months, but it’s getting worse. I left the PC completely OFF when I left town for two weeks. So if overheating isn’t an issue, what is causing this extremely frustrating occurrence?

• ANSWER:
  Is your computer freezing or crashing or getting the blue screen error?
  We all know how annoying this can be.
  Especially when you’re in the middle of a project and lose hours worth of work because you computer froze up.
  Here are a few tips you can use to stop your computer from freezing up or getting the blue screen of death.
  Unless you have a hardware problem,
  like a hard drive going bad or a video card driver problem the reason you’re computer is freezing or crashing is because of registry errors.
  95% of the time this is biggest cause of freezes and other general problems like slow start up,
  slow shutdowns, blue screen error, freezing, slow applications and a general lack of computer performance.

• ANSWER:
  This could be several problem. lets see if these solutions help.

  1) Did you recently install a new card? If yes uninstall it and and download recent drivers for it.

  2) Are you overheating? if yes, try downloading a free program to get the fan inside to turn on.

  You may also have a bad stick of RAM, try replacing the ram inside and see if it fixes your problem. If not it is a bad memory slot, and that would force you to either move your memory to another slot ot replace your motherboard.

  Good Luck

QUESTION:
Can low temperature outside the computer cause blue screen of death?
Since it’s a bit colder outside, I get Blue Screen of Death all the time. I didn’t install any new hardware or software and the fan seems to be ok, but it’s only 18°C in the room here.. according to the BIOS thing it’s 29°C inside the computer.

• ANSWER:
  Every Blue Screen of Death contains unique information that explains what went wrong. There are many different kinds of BSOD issues possible in Windows, many with very different causes.

  Almost every single BSOD issue, however, is a hardware or driver issue, making the list of troubleshooting steps fairly much the same from error to error.

  http://pcsupport.about.com/b/2008/12/20/fix-nearly-any-blue-screen-error.htm

  If blue screen meassages error flashes by too fast do one of the following:
  Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
  allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on
  the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
  Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before
  Automatically Restart.

  An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and select
  option – Disable automatic restart on system failure.

  Also, get the latest updated driver for your video card.
  Memtest the ram: http://www.memtest86.com/download.html

  To get Windows into shape, do any/all of the following maintenance.
  The instructions are generic but are intended to suit XP, Vista, Windows 7
  Run Ccleaner http://www.filehippo.com/download_cclean…
  Run “cleaner”,”registry” and “tools/ startup” functions. The latter is to disable unwanted programs from starting when windows starts. This frees up memory and reduces conflicts!!
  Do a virus scan in safe mode, (tap F8 key at boot). If virus infections are severe, turn off “system restore” would be helpful beforehand.
  Visit Windows update website and download updates & drivers, especially critical ones.
  Test the ram memory with memtest:

  http://www.memtest86.com/download.html

  Visit your motherboard & graphics card makers’ website/s to download the newest drivers. Start with chipset, then graphics. If needed, run CPU-z to identify maker/s:

QUESTION:
Computer crashed, blue screen keeps poping out,how do I fix?
Was installing a program called deamon. Then screen goes blue restarts computer. When window finishes loading it goes blue and restarts. Same with safemode. How do I fix this?

• ANSWER:
  If you can’t get into safe mode then your best option is to put the hard drive into another computer (or a friends) and then go into it from the other computer and do two things. One do a virus scan to make sure it isn’t a virus then two go in to the program files of YOUR drive and delete the deamon folder. You should be able to restart. Another option is not as reliable but if you go into your bios setting usually you press either delete, F12 or Esc depending on your motherboard but it should tell you what key on the first screen you see. If you miss it simply press ctrl, alt and delete and the computer will restart. Once in your bios i don’t know of by heart where it is but theres an option to tell the computer to restart if there’s an error. You want to turn that of. Then let the computer boot and the blue screen of death (blue screen) should appear and you’ll see what appears to be a load of gibberish. Some where it should tell you what file is causing the problem and/or somewhere say something like error code or code or something like that and next to that some numbers and i think letters. Thats the error code. Write that down and on another pc google it and how to fix it. You should hopefully find some way to fix the problem.

  If you have an installation disk (i doubt it because they don’t give customers one now which is stupid and they wonder why people torrent them) you can boot from that and use the cmd (command prompt option to delete the file causing the issue from there. I think the command is del then the directory in which it is kept. The directory should appear on the blue screen where it should tell you what file it is. so say if i had a text file on my desktop called text.txt then the command would look like this del C:usersmikedesktoptext.txt Making sure i put the .txt or whatever extension at the end if it’s a file. Google any thing you have problems with or email me at mike309saa@gmail.com and i’ll explain in more detail. Also i have a yahoo email (obviously) msaa309@yahoo.com but i use my gmail one more often and only check my yahoo once in a while.

  I hope this helps.

QUESTION:
The Lighting On My Computer Screen Is Blue?
The lighting on my screen is glossed over in blue. I didn’t change the coloring on the computer or anything.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
Ghoul: I tried everything on the color settings, that isn’t it.
I figured out that the reason it looks blue is because the red contrast won’t apply to the monitor, only the blue and green will. How do I fix that?

• ANSWER:
  There may be several possible reasons for your problem. Check these things with your monitor. It will most probably solve the problem.
  1. Check if ANYTHING magnetic is lying around your monitor or CPU. Some magnetic things and other electrical devices such as magnets or the speakers of your music system (or wires of any active electrical device) can cause problems.
  2. Check if your power supply is right. Insufficient power supply can cause these problems. (It sometimes happens with me also.).
  3. Check if your RAM is fitted properly or not, although I’m not sure as improperly fitted RAM causes the monitor display to cease altogether.
  4. Finally check if your monitor needs any repairs or not. I’d like to emphasize that you do this before trying 2. & 3. from above.

QUESTION:
Why is the computer screen a shade of blue?
First of all, this is not the Blue Screen of Death. The screen shows all functions. It is just the screen is shaded blue, instead of white. I have tried going into the screen settings and tried to change the amount of red, green, and blue, but to no avail. Anyone know what is going on here?

• ANSWER:
  The blue screen of death, also known as the blue screen of doom or simply blue screen, is one of the most notorious error messages in Windows based operating systems. To fix blue screen errors, you can safely assume that there’s something going seriously wrong in your operating system. Unfortunately for us, and even the highest trained computer technicians, fixing the blue screen of death isn’t always as simple as we’d like it to be, and it can take an obscure amount of PC knowledge to get to the root of the problem.

Why did computer blue-screen when i tried to play Runescape?
When I clicked on the link to auto set my display settings on runescape, since they changed so much crap, my whole system blue-screened. Please help me. (By the way, i don’t have any money to spend)

• ANSWER:
  If it is blue screening when you try to set the video display that would indicate that your video card (or its driver) is not able to run the settings that Runescape is trying to set up. Check to see if there are any updates for your video card drivers. Or try setting the video display manually and see if you can find a setting that works without blue screening.

QUESTION:
how can i restore computer with blue screen with white writing up?
the writing on blue screen says: problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. mountable_boot_volume. i tried to get to safe mode and can not, so i can restore computer. i have windows xp home edition and model number is dell diminsion e3100/e310

• ANSWER:
  Unmountable boot volume means either you have a virus, a bad hd, a corrupted OS, or your mb cant talk to your hd. First make sure your hd is plugged in to data and power cables firmly, somethimes these work loose.

  Usually it is that your mb is set to boot off of USB and youve got an “all in one printer”, external hd, a camera or ipod plugged in. Unplug everything. then try to boot.

  Run dell diagnostics on the harddrive and the motherboard. If it is a bad HD or mb, dell will replace it. If they both pass, it may the file system is damaged.

  Try to 1.Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and then restart the computer.

  Click to select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted.

  2.When the “Welcome to Setup” screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.

  3.If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the installation that you must access from the Recovery Console.

  4.When you are prompted, type the Administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.

  5.At the command prompt, type chkdsk /r , and then press ENTER.

  6.At the command prompt, type exit , and then press ENTER to restart your computer.

  This takes a bit longer, but the system should boot, then back p your data then do a full control f11 “restore to factory condition”.

  If the above process fails to restore the system then in the number#5 step, type “fixboot”, no quotation marks instead of the “chkdsk /r” command.

HELP SOON!

• ANSWER:
  Pretty much, majority of the time, the problem is because of operating system problems. To fix this, you would probably need to reinstall the operating system since it usually ends up that way.

  You should first back up all of your important files. You can do so with a device known as an IDE/SATA to USB Adapter (google “BT-300 topmicrousa”). This device works really well in situations like these since you are able to back up files at a fast and efficient pace.

  Once you finish backing up all of your files, reformat the hard drive and recopy the files. Its quite easy.

  Best of luck.

  A computer’s registry is one big database that has numerous files, options, and settings. These settings and options keep changing with every second of you using your PC and can lead to the damage of some of these settings. This causes errors to show up and the computer to have a BSOD.

If it identifies any file or setting to be damaged, missing, or corrupted, it provides you with an updated list of the same and also repairs these errors. Therefore, if your computer keeps crashing and need to fix blue screen of death a good registry cleaner is all you need. Your computer can also cause problems because of redundant files in its registry. Registry cleaners identify all these redundant and junk files that were left over during the uninstalling process of hardware of software and delete them.

QUESTION:
What do I do? XP codes not working.?
Ok, I have had 4 computers, 3 custom, 1 was Sony. I have bought 2 XP Home codes and 1 XP Professional. So I have around 5 XP legit codes. I used 1 CD for 3 computers, then the one with sony I used on 2 of the custom computers cause it was a newer version. Then, I got another CD that has service pack 2, installed it on 2 computers. Then, I bought an XP Professional because I wanted Xp to support 4gb, but I couldn’t figure it out. SO, all in all, I should have at least 2 codes that work, A single XP Home and an XP Professional, which I only installed on 1 computer.

So, what do I do? Microsoft tells me to get a new Code, and I just spent 168$ on a stupid Professional Code that only worked 1 time.

What is something I can do? I have personal bought THREE XP codes, 1 only worked once on a single computer, and theres no way Im going to buy another one.
The windows XP that came with Sony I registered on 3 different computers.

• ANSWER:
  phew.
  1. XP (32 bit) will not support 4 gigs.
  2. The Sony CD should only be installed on the Sony machine.
  3. You probably have OEM copies that are only allowed on the machine they came with (ie the Sony copy that you installed twice)
  4. In order to move installs between computers (while still only installing on 1 machine per code) you must have a retail version, not oem.
  5. Once you activate the XP it will be tied to that machine, so you must re-install your codes on the same machine you did the first time.

QUESTION:
Can I still use my old code on my new window xp home edition?
Ok, I have lost my Window xp home edition cds and I just bought a new one. It’s very weird but my friend and i have been arguing about using the code thingy. I said you can’t use your old xp code on the new one because it didn’t came in the same box. But he said whatever the code is, can work on any Home edition cds no matter they’re new.

  Sorry if you lost the restore CD, or never had them; call the pc store where you bought it or call the manufaturer, if you are a legal owner they might give you a copy of your original XP for free or at least help you to get a legal copy.

  To try to get it online is a waste of time.

QUESTION:
Can I use my windows XP code on a different computer?
If I find a Windows XP disk and install it on a computer and then find a code from an old computer that I don’t use anymore, can I use that license on that computer? If not, how would I keep my OS if I replaced my motherboard?

• ANSWER:
  XP was EOL (end of life) until Microsoft realized that single core net books could not handle Vista . They brought back XP support for that reason , but they have bigger fish to fry . My point is that Microsoft is busy using there resources fighting Vista and Win 7 piracy .
  I have installed XP on at least a hundred computers with the same disc and product key and never had a single problem . Same with XP pro . That is a violation of the terms of service/license , but if you own the O.S. and you are replacing hardware you should still have a right to that license .

I have the original XP code from my client. Can I use the code and replace the current key or reinstall the OS with this key? Or do I need the same CD? We want to avoid the time lag of shipping. Can I use the key in multiple systems?

  Better You Reinstall The OS. Because The CD Key Will Create Some Registry Value. These Registry Values Are Checked At The Time Of Registration. Once You Register Your Copy Microsoft Wont Allow To Use In Multiple Systems.

QUESTION:
Are RPG Maker XP Activation Codes “Shareable?”?
My friend has the trial version and I already bought the full version. Is it possible for me to generate an activation code, give it to my friend and he can use the full version of RPG Maker XP? Also, please don’t suggest downloading it for free off any site as my friend barely has any form of anti-virus program set up on his computer and rarely ever downloads anything unless I already checked it out. Thanks.

• ANSWER:
  No. You bought it, your friend didn’t. They need to buy their own copy (or come over to your house and work together with you)

  Game activation codes are usually either tied to one computer or they have a limited number of uses (in case your computer gets fried and you need to reinstall stuff).

QUESTION:
Im am buying a used desktop PC. What does it mean if someone says that it has no OS, but they have the XP code?
What good does the xp code do me with no OS?? Im either missing something or…???
They say that the XP code is on sticker on the PC.

• ANSWER:
  The above posters are correct, it just means that there is no OS installed on the hard disk at this time so it won’t boot, but the XP key that is on the sticker can be used to install XP from a CD that you would have to provide.

  I wanted to warn you however that there are two different types of XP CD’s in circulation. There are Volume License CD’s and OEM/Retail CD’s and they can’t be substituted for one another. So if you think you have a source for getting an XP CD, just make sure you get the OEM/Retail version of the CD in your case and you should be OK.

QUESTION:
Reusing the XP registration code on the same computer?
I am planning on wiping my computer completely. I had done so before using a program called Kill-Disk, and it works quite effectively. The only thing I’m worried about is my operating system. I have the Registration Code and the XP installation disk, but I’ve used the Registration code before. Would I be able to reuse the Registration code after the wipe?

• ANSWER:
  Yes, you can use it up to 4 times on the same computer and it will activate fine over the internet. If you use it more than that, or it doesn’t activate properly you can call Microsoft’s hotline, as you paid for your license, they will give you a working new one.

QUESTION:
Can I use the XP product code from a different computer when downgrading from Vista to XP?
I have a laptop that came with Vista and an old desktop with XP. If I were to downgrade my laptop from Vista to XP, could I use the XP product code that came with my desktop?

• ANSWER:
  legally, no. You should actually consider upgrading to windows 7, which is actually lighter on system resources and faster than XP was. I don’t know how much longer MS will continue to support XP with updates, but since it’s over 8 years old, you can bet it’s days are numbered.

  It makes no difference whether you have a laptop or a PC, it’s just a computer. The only thing with a laptop, you need extra drivers for LAN, audio etc. The operating system is the same.

QUESTION:
Is there a way to change the XP activation code?
I recently formatted my hard drive and had to reinstall Windows XP. I emailed the company I bought the computer from but they didn’t respond for a couple days. I used my copy of XP without activating it until it expired.

Now I have the activation code, but when I go to put it in I get a message saying its already activated. When I click ok it tells me I need to activate it. So I’m stuck in this continuous loop.

I don’t know why it says its activated already, but then says it isn’t. How can I get in and put my activation code so I can stop this and get my system running again? I really don’t want to have to format my hard drive again.

QUESTION:
I just built myself a new computer and my windows XP code doesn’t work.?
Yeah. Title pretty much explains it all. Working codes are fine, too. I uninstalled it from my old computer as well.

• ANSWER:
  Just because you have a valid XP code does not mean that it will always install. You have to use a matching CD.

  There are SEVERAL versions of XP. For each version of XP, you also have retail and OEM products.

  FOr example:

  You may have an XP Home Edition key, and an XP Home Edition CD, but if the key was sold under an OEM license (it was sold with a new computer), then it will not work with a CD that was purchased retail.

  Your XP version will be listed on the product key… it will tell you if it is OEM or not. If it is not, then you need a retail CD that matches your specific version of XP. If it is an OEM version, then you need an OEM CD that matches your version of XP.

  You can use utorrent and isohunt.com to search for Windows OS CD’s. As long as you use your CD key, and not a pirated key, you will be fine.

QUESTION:
Are the XP activation codes tied in with that particular setup CD?
Can I use my friends xp CD and my activation code?
I have a toshiba laptop came preinstalled. no basic xp cd.
only a recovery disk that reinstalls the entire harddrive wiping
it i believe. so I was doin a repair with his CD but his activation code is used up.. can I use a different code. Like mine if i can get it. or someone elses? or what.. thanks.. or is it specific to that installation cd.

• ANSWER:
  When microsoft creates a OS setup CD, it is usually created in batches. one batch of CDs will have set of Product keys.

  If your friend’s CD is of same version of yours, like windows XP professional with SP2 shall not work with an activation code for Windows XP Home or Professional (without SP2) or media center edition.

  Also if the both are of same version, you could use the same CD. You may use any CD within version limts, and the problem is only with the product key. You are licensed for the product key.

  I have tried the same when i install XP for my friends.

  Impossible to answer precisely. What service pack level is the system patched to? How many peripherals are connected (drivers contain code, too)? What exactly do you mean by ‘Windows XP operating system’? Is that only the kernel, or other parts of the system as well? Do you count comments? Whitespaces?

  It is ‘more than’ 40 million lines of code.

QUESTION:
How to find Windows XP Installation Code if I can’t boot?
I’m reinstalling Windows XP for a friend who’s computer doesn’t boot up anymore. The files are still on the hard drive, but the system is messed up, and I can’t find the sticker with the code on there. What other way can I get this info?
I have not formatted the hard drive (yet)

• ANSWER:
  This is a very good question….. If it is Win XP and you can’t find the sticker, it was probably an illegal copy anyhows… There is no way to get it because you are “REINSTALLING” it, meaning, you wiped out the system and there is no memory of the key in the registry nor a sticker outside, so you are really SOL my friend. “BUT” if you bought it from DELL, IBM, HP, etc… you can call them directly, provide the model and serial number, and they will get you the key.

  Do I get my best answer 10 points now?

What should we do? Theres a lot of information on the internet but not sure what the best solution is.

• ANSWER:
  Sounds like someone installed it with a disk and now the trial has run out. If she bought it and it didnt come with disks, it most likely has a restore partition on the hard drive. Reading the manual would have told you this and how to access it.

QUESTION:
Does any one know how to use bar codes in Microsoft Office XP?

• ANSWER:
  There are several ways to do barcodes in MS Office (or more specifically, MS Word, as you rarely use barcodes outside of Word) Any version of Office, in fact.

  The easiest way is TrueType font. Buy/download the right symbology font, scale them to the right size, put them where you need them like regular characters. Make sure you follow the syntax though. Some symbologies, like Code 39/3 of 9, are rather forgiving, and just needs an asterisk at beginning and end of barcode. Others, like UPC-EAN, you need to calculate a checksum digit to append at the end, and that may require a special formula / code of some sort to generate the full string.

  Next would be a WMF generator. This basically is a DLL in memory. You feed a string to it, it’ll spit back a WMF, which is basically a graphics file you can then embed into the document.

  The TrueType method is probably easier to implement in almost any problem. I’ve created Access / Paradox reports that used TrueType barcode fonts for a variety of documents that needed to be tracked and its data entered, and barcodes have just about eliminated all the errors in that.

  I’ll list a few companies that deal with barcodes I’ve used before. Rest is up to you.

QUESTION:
need windows XP sofeware codes?
my laptop got put in a shop to get software put in for me,
and now last week when i tried to get it online it done updates and now says my windows needs verified for my laptop,
can anyone give me a disc with the codes, or just tell me what to do,
(getting it done over the phone or online with microsoft web site is not a option for me,)

• ANSWER:
  You need to return to the shop who have done it for you and tell them that you need the key code for your installation. It is done like that nowadays without a CD, but they are suppose to have the keycode pasted on the back of your computer or laptop. If they refuse to give you the keycode, then report them to Microsoft and tell Microsoft that you paid for the installation, but the shop refuse to give you the keycode.
