| 786690 | 2009-07-04 08:20:00 | yeh the floppy drive dosent seem to be working if i cant get it going what do u reckon it is the hdd or the gpu? Try reversing the cable, some Cables unless they have locater tab can be put in the wrong way around - wont do any harm - but wont work either. There should be a red strip on the cable, that goes to pin 1 on the drive. |

| 786691 | 2009-07-04 08:24:00 | A new HDD would only fix it if the HDD was the problem. And we don't know that yet. Get the minidumps if any. They may provide useful info |

| 786692 | 2009-07-05 01:39:00 | how do i get the minidumps?? | bin3287 (15049) | ||
| 786693 | 2009-07-05 01:42:00 | And even if you get the minidumps, whos going to check them?? You need the debug tools from MS (which arent exactly small) to see what that says. Once you add the minidump file to it Do a search for it |

| 786694 | 2009-07-05 01:48:00 | Heres how to get the Minidumps MS article (support.microsoft.com) -- But you still need to create them to a readable format. The debugging tools are approx 17MB - and the symbols ate around 159MB One way: 1. Open a command prompt (Start -> Run -> “cmd”) 2. cd \program files\debugging tools (Or wherever they are installed to) 3. kd -z C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini???????-??.dmp ( ????? will be the number of the minidump) 4. kd> .logopen c:\debuglog.txt 5. kd> .sympath srv*c:\symbols*msdl.microsoft.com 6. kd> .reload;!analyze -v;r;kv;lmnt;.logclose;q 7. You now have a debuglog.txt in c:\, open it in a text edit (Notepad?). |

| 786695 | 2009-07-05 02:01:00 | Take the unbootable hard drive and put it in another computer. Then go to X:\WINDOWS\Minidump\ (where X is the letter of the unbootable drive as it is seen by the other PC) Copy any .dmp files from it somewhere else. Then you can either use the debug tools as Wainuitech suggested, or someone else can analyze them (I have the debug tools etc already installed so if you were to send me the files I could try analyzing them for you) |

| 786696 | 2009-07-09 07:50:00 | turns out it was a graphics card problem the other pc i was using broke down with a virus and dad took both this one and the other to the shop without me knowing well i have come out 310 poorer as i bought a new graphics card. but thank you so much for your help......to prevent from getting virus or any of that nature what programs should i download that are free to defend against this stuff? | bin3287 (15049) | ||
| 786697 | 2009-07-09 08:00:00 | Avast anti virus, maybe malwarebytes, super anti spyware, spybot serach and destroy. You need 2 of those for good anti malware prevention, possibly a fire wall such as comodo if you visit dodgy sites alot | gary67 (56) | ||
| 786698 | 2009-07-09 11:04:00 | Pity it was the card but good to see you got it fixed anyway. Good excuse for an upgrade I guess If you don't currently run any AntiVirus software you should get some. I use Comodo Internet Security and various anti-malware programs including Spybot Search and Destroy. I also like Spyware Blaster, A-Squared and Ad-Aware. |
