help??
 

I am having a few probs with my computer.... it starts of fine then slows down and crashes.. I've had a blue screen a few times saying that something isnt installed properly but i havent installed anything.. I've tried system restore but it didnt work. it works for a little while then either crashes or i get the blue screen... Aleks thinks it might be the o/s thats not completely installed... I have no clue at all! :lamer:

Any one any ideas?

Blue Screen of Death.....:eek:
can be caused by poorly written device drivers, faulty memory or a corrupt registry, or the computer overheating........?

Re: help??
 

Always the bearer of good news me lol

Re: help??
 

And who do we know that could fix it?

Re: help??
 

Hmmm, will have to think long and hard on that one

Re: help??
 

probably the reason it was broken... lol

Re: help??
 

I really need to know what it says on teh blue screen. There are many reasons why it can be doing this.

Have you added/changed any hardware or accessories lately?

What programs have you installed?

Do you download stuff using Peer2Peer? (Bittorrent, etc)

How up to date is your AV/firewall?

Re: help??

Re: help??

Re: help??
 

Right, Ive written down as much as i can but it doesnt give me enough time! Hopefully this will help....

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

Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Technical info..

***STOP 0x0000001 DI (0x00000001, 0x000000FF, 0x00000000, 0x0000000)

then it says something about dumping memory....

Any of that mean anything?

Re: help??
 

oh, bit of a change of subject..... i think i met you in town the other day entwisi but someone forgot to tell you who i was and tell me who you were! lol

Re: help??
 

Pleaeseeeeeee do not tell me you are having trouble with my new provider am so looking forward to getting back online!!!!

Re: help??
 

nowt to do with ISp bernie.. Welcome back BTW

it sounds like teh driver for your network card is duff. what type of network card is it? USB or internal?

If its 'unplugable' then try using teh pC for an evening without it plugged in ( sorry if this means going back to a wired connection or even Shock Horror - no internet)

if this fixes it which i reckon it will then you need to get updated drivers for teh network card. what make/model is it and what version of windows are you using? XP/Vista/2000/98 etc

You were with aleks(or tadah as I always refer to) I assume?

Re: help??
 

Think I have just had the same problem? PC went to a blue screen and mentioned "kernel error" and dumping physical memory..... said if it was first time of seeing screen to turn off and restart, so i did. It has come back up (duh) , message said to uninstall any recent stuff, only things I have put on are an update msn and a virus thingy-Avast.
Any ideas?
I am on Windows XP and BTinternet.

Re: help??
 

windows has recently sent a BIG update out (SP3). this is usually the cause of lots of issues, ( I've had numerous texts this last week or so about internet not working etc. )


The kernel error is the core Windows system files that are complaining and nothing like ema's issue. I reckon you need to try system restore back a week or two as an initial starting point.


I know people will winge at me for saying this but I can't even think of an issue ever caused by Linux updating itself. I guess whilst windows is the 'majority OS' we will continue with this sort of issue.

Re: help??
 

Thanks Entwisi, it seems fine at the moment and I wouldn't know how to "system restore" if my life depended on it! I may well leave it alone and keep my fingers crossed till I can nab someone who can do it for me !:)
BTW you are right about the update, it took ages and I had forgotten about that !

Re: help??
 

My mate is having similar problems, her desk top picture keeps disappearing leaving her with a black screen. She has tried re-installing it but it keeps going back to black. Any ideas?

Re: help??
 

Bernadette found this website with someone with similar problem

Desktop is a black screen - Computing.Net


it might help

Re: help??
 

Thanks for that Panther karma as soon as it will let me. Given my rations out for today:)

Re: help??
 

oh cheers bernadette ;)

Re: help??
 

I had the problem with the blue screen saying the exact same thing as what ema mentioned, mine was apparently caused by a dodgy motherboard. but my pc was only a day old so got the full thing replaced (which was nice lol).

Re: help??
