615187 2007-11-26 03:15:00 Hi PF1ers
returned from a week on holiday, great tan and raring to get back intothe last 4 weeks work before Christmas. Logged on to my Lappie (Asus 2500h XP pro sp2) downloaded approx 70 emails to my Outlook Express and Outlook email accounts updated a few bits of Software from CD and then BSOD!!!!!!
Tried reboot, loaded ok, did a bit of work then BSOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reboot allowed disk checker to run corrected "serious problem" sent error report to MS. did a little work then , you guessed it, BSOD!#***&^^^###%* .
Computer goes through the startup/disccheck all ok - then crashes.
What to do people? the BSOD message doesn't stay up long enough for me to see what it says.

615188 2007-11-26 03:26:00 Have tried starting in safe but it stops at a screen full of sys32 info which says;
Multi(0)disk(0)partition(2)\windows\system32\drive rs\1394bus.sys
followed by a bunch of other lines the same with different last bit

please tell me that it is not the HD

615189 2007-11-26 03:34:00 That 1394bus.sys file is for firewire. Speedy Gonzales (78)
615190 2007-11-26 03:38:00 You said you updated bits of software from a CD....what was it? qazwsxokmijn (102)
615191 2007-11-26 03:57:00 Try starting the Lappy and keep hitting F8 on startup, you want the Black screen with white writing, using the arrow keys move to " last known Good Configeration" see if it boots normally.

Sounds like a driver update has made a muck up some place.


please tell me that it is not the HD

Okay - Its not the hard drive:p

Managed to get it to startup after a disk scan and a change of some config on the disk ran Spybot and Adaware and deleted a bunch of Gremlins and it has been stable for the last 90mins. I didn't think it was the HD however I was worried it might have been becoming unstable.:thumbs:

615194 2007-11-27 03:06:00 Dont think that'll crash the system.

But you can go to c:\windows\prefetch. Delete whats in there.

Or add that folder in ccleaner (options / include).

Wont hurt it.

Disable system restore and renable it.

You may have to reboot.

And use ccleaner to remove everything else.

615195 2007-11-27 03:08:00 Try running chkdsk out of windows, it works better, to do this go to "my Computer> right click the HD>properties>Tools Tab> Check Now button> tick Both Boxes> agree to any promps> it will say it needs to run on next reboot say yes> reboot PC and it will start to run chkdsk

See if that fixes the problem as the report does say it has faults and cant fix, this is normally because windows is running.

615196 2007-11-27 03:16:00 When posting an image on the web, much better to save it as a gif rather than a bmap - if someone on dialup tries to open that one it'll take about 8 1/2 minutes to load!! LOL bevy121 (117)
