| 838741 | 2009-12-11 03:41:00 | I was on XP when the computer just crashed and restarted. Upon startup of windows, right after the loading screen with the windows logo finishes, a blue screen flashed and the PC restarted. I have Windows 7 installed on a seperate harddrive so I tried starting that. Same thing, a BSoD right after the loading screen. Here is what it looks like: yfrog.com Since the computer was running fine then just out of nowhere crashed, and since both windows copies crash despite being on seperate HDs, I suspected hardware failure of some sort. First I tested the harddrives. I was able to go into XP's safemode and backup files so HD's seem fine. Next I swapped the videocard with my older one.. nothing. Then I took out the soundcard.. nothing. I suspect maybe one of the ram modules has died. But not sure. Will try that next. Any ideas anyone?! Help would be much appreciated! :crying Specs: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66, ATI 4800, 2 gig ram, 3 sata hd's, primary has 7 is installed, the 2nd slave has XP is installed, asus motherboard, soundblaster |

| 838742 | 2009-12-11 03:54:00 | Welcome to PF1 Forums :) That error message can relate to a failed network driver / adapter. Try restarting the PC in safe Mode with networking ( use XP) - see if it crashes, if it doesn't right click My Computer / properties/ hardware Tab / Device manager -- look to see if the Network Adaptor is showing or not, OR has a ! mark on it. It can also be a driver issue if its a Nvidia Firewall driver. |
