BSOD bad_system_config_info

During the process of overclocking my CPU, I downloaded CPU - Z. Oddly enough, CPU - Z says that my processor (i7 - 2600 k Sandy Bridge) uses only 2 cores and 4 sons. A quick search on google suggested that I go to msconfig-boot-> advanced >-> uncheck the processor. Initially, the box has been ticked, and the number of processors the value 4. When trying to restart, the screen is stuck on the screen logo windows for a few minutes, then gives me a BSOD bad_system_config_info. The same phenomenon occurs when you try to start in SafeMode as well.

Some additional research tell me what I need to manually change the registry by starting windows or another HARD drive or windows installation disc, that aren't available to me. What should I do?

EDIT: I tried also to start with the last known good configuration and after doing a system restore. Neither have worked, and both give me the same problem.

  • Windows XP Home fresh install "bad_system_config_Info" error

    Hello

    I'm trying to install a new copy of Windows XP Edition family on PC to a family member and I get a BSoD "bad_system_config_Info" error message and STOP code 0x00000074.after Setup support files.

    Background:
    -New SATA HD (tested on my PC after a few BSoD of internal CONNECTIONS and with a box external w/USB connection. - it works fine).
     
    -RAM is good. I tried 3 branches far and I get the same error (another suggested thread it was a problem of RAM)

    -The BIOS is being updated and functional, I went through the settings offered on another thread.

    -There are no files on the hard drive. I tried to format, create partitions, deleting partitions. Nothing has worked.

    -The CD is fine. I ran a set up on top of another system and installed fine. (Yes, I spent a few hours ensuring that my installation disc was good = P)

    I am at a loss to know what to do now. I have not run across a solution to solve this with a fresh install, right on systems 'installed' (i.e. the last config known, Point of system restore, etc...)

    Any ideas?

    Looks like the problem is indeed RAM.

    You have more than one stick of RAM? If RAM use as well as a stick and install XP.

  • My OS is available from downloads?

    I don't remember if the disks came with my two Inspiron N5010s when I bought them or not. If they did, I can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know if I can download the OS from Dell and, if so, how I would go all this?

    I'm getting a BSOD - BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO on one of the laptops. I can't really find much information online about this error message. One thing I found says it's bad memory and, if this is the case, maybe I will not need to reinstall, but, frankly, I wouldn't mind not to give this thing a new start. It has always been the poor cousin of the two laptops, which is kind of funny (not) because I bought them both at the same time and we were clearly less perky since birth.

    Thanks to anyone who can help me here.

    Depending on the country you are, you will need to ask them to dell support.

  • Win 7 (x 64) no family Premium BSOD 0xF4 no Dump

    I recently built a customized desktop.  Here is the card with links from Newegg in case more is needed:

    Software - Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
    Disc 1 - LITE-ON Blu-ray
    Disc 2 - DVD/CD Sony
    This is the first computer I built, so I was very happy when everything worked the first time.  The only changes from the BIOS, I did were the profile of time and memory (the new profile has been provided by the manufacturer - no custom changes have been made in the case).  I installed windows and then formatted the drive twice because I decided that I wanted to do something different.  On the third installation, I used a NTFS junction to move the Users folder on the second disc.
    C:\ (SSD - system)
    D:\ (1 TB HDD)
    It seems to work pretty well until I've had the occasional BSOD.  He always says "a process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly released or ended."  Error code was 0x000000F4.  The first parameter is 0 x 3, so it is a process.  I changed the memory profile to default in BIOS, but the BSOD kept returning.
    I had trouble getting Windows updated after that, and after a few fruitless troubleshooting, decided to reinstall everything Windows once more.  Now I'm on my fourth install (user is back on the SSD for now) and I still get the BSOD with the same mistakes.  The BSOD doesn't dump any report or restart the computer, either, so I have no additional information to work off of.  It happened during update, download, market at idle and start, leading me to believe that it's a hardware problem.
    All the drivers are up to date (except maybe the wireless card since the site of TP-LINK is down).
    All Windows updates have been installed.
    SFC indicated no error.
    MemTest86 + not reported no error (single-pass).
    ChkDsk (read-only) reported no error.
    However, ChkDsk on restart gives me a BSOD before she can finish.  This one says "BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO" with the error code 0 x 00000074.  This leaves me wondering if there is a problem with the RAM.  Is it possible that MemTest86 + does not report an error and the memory still be defective?
    Some resources also suggested that the 0xF4 error could be because of a bad SATA connection between the motherboard and the SSD (in this case).  The SATA cable is not hold on very tight ports hot in my case, but it seems to stay very well.  This could also be the problem
    ?
    Other resources also suggested that 0xF4 error could be caused by a timeout during the awakening of the computer from sleep mode.  I did, however, without a BSOD.  I think that the problem must be with the processor, RAM or SSD.  I think of RMAing the memory, but I want to assure you that it is RAM before I head to the College.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    I have not deleted IE in one installation, but I used Google Chrome when able.

    I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate cool (with a touch of quick access for now).  I installed the mobo drivers, graphic drivers, then the driver wifi - all this without a network connection.  I did not connect to any network after installing the wifi driver, but it crashed shortly after anyway.
    Don't know what to do with it.  Nevertheless, I do a recovery of the system right now to remove the wifi driver.
    EDIT: It has crashed already after that.  Now I get to before the graphics drivers.

  • BSOD and reboot loop

    Last night, I was just using Facebook as usual and bam, BSOD.  When I tried to restart, it would reach a point about halfway through the apple logo, go to a gray screen, then restart again.  After several tries to restart, I finally restarted in verbose mode, noticed anything weird and it finally started raising but very slowly.  I went to my console to see if I could find anything unusual and I found the repetitive lines of the following:

    kernel [0]: sandbox: appleeventsd (47) deny metadata-reading-file/library

    In addition, 8 lines of this:

    kernel [0]: sandbox: appleeventsd (47) deny com.apple.ocspd mach-search

    What does that mean and can I do about it if it does not happen?

    Have you tried to restart the console recovery and repair of permissions? I have not found anything specific related to these errors.

  • After uninstalling and reinstalling 42.0 FF, I get BSOD 0x000000F4 error

    FF has been excruciatingly slow and constantly crashed. I tried to reset, but does not solve the problem, so I did a uninstall and reinstall. Now, I get the BSOD every day, stating that "a process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly released or terminated" and noting that the problem is often caused by the problem with newly installed hardware or software. FF is the only new software that I installed it. I have not installed new hardware. The stop error is always the same: 0x000000F4. Thanks for your suggestions you may have.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Kyle. I uninstalled and reinstalled FireFox and did not get a BSOD. It only 24 hours since I've done this, but so far, everything is fine. Thanks again!

  • The update of Windows 10 1511 reboot loop Bootcamp BSOD ACPI. SYS

    It is a copy of my thread to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-performance/windows-10-update-1511-reboot-loop-bootcamp/8653... as I was asked to post here by the Microsoft Support Engineer.

    Hello

    Friday night, I went to bed with a working machine. I had a late 2013 Mac Pro BootCamp running with a Windows 10 Pro installed, the Build version before 1511.

    On Saturday morning, I woke up to my PC restart itself over and over again. It seems that Windows Update has decided to put a new version of Windows 10 on my machine without my knowledge. I discovered this after restoring an acronis backup (which took a few hours because of the number of incremental backups)

    Occasionally (about 1 in 20 restarts) it would blue screen with an error:

    SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (ACPI.sys)

    But the rest of the time he would just start, flash a window for a millisecond that says (I think) winlaunch.exe, then restart.

    I tried a lot of things to sort it, including:

    (1) restore from a backup, acronis to Friday morning, running sfc/scannow, and then runs the update

    (2) the creation of a recovery USB, enter the console, change the boot to legacy method, so I can F8, then goes into all security modes and mode of illegal product, but I can find where windows 10 now puts the boot log

    (3) restored from acronis, switched to mac, created a new bootcamp drivers usb, switched to windows and run the option 'fix drivers' before performing the update.

    Ntbtlog.txt is not anywhere on the partition. I ran a dir /s > a.txt then open this a.txt in Notepad and searched him.

    I don't know where to go from here. I can acronis restore of a windows 10 work machine the morning before installing mandatory 1511. I don't know how to delay the update no more, I noted during a restore I had delay on updates that are why it has arisen just now.

    I do not know how to find where this BSOD ACPI.sys will come (even if it happens so rarely) or this that its trying to load just before it crashes (so I can try to delete the driver etc. by the front restored windows to upgrade)

    I guess the widowed causes 10 to do a restore, then the restore fails.

    Overall, I get at the end of my wits with this, to go a completely Windows 10 installation work Friday to more than two wasted days, restore backups, try again, rinse and repeat. It's now Monday morning and I am posting this as a ditch last attempt to solve the problem, your help would be appreciated.

    If you need more information please let me know the location of the files, etc, or their names and I will do my best to have copies available for you.

    I will now restore the backup again, uninstall loading of drivers, and then try the update of windows for the 4th or 5th time.

    Thanks in advance,

    Julian

    Woo Hoo, I've solved the problem!

    I uninstalled the drivers of graphics from AMD (with AMD Driver Cleaner) and Arcronis True Image Home 2013 at the same time, then let Windows Update run its course. Now I have a machine with Windows Version 1511 10!

    It took me 4 days of downtime...

    I hope this helps someone else.

  • Firefox hangs (?.) BSOD) (/ questions/971282)

    For this last month that my computer has been lock up intermittently during the night. I traced the
    Firefox worm 26 problem. Sometimes the cursor will slow down and then freeze while using Firefox. The computer is completely enclosed and necessary for a hard reset. I installed the latest beta 27. Now, Firefox crashes for the BSOD. I need to resolve this problem quickly. There are questions killer deal with all other browsers, but they all work and do not freeze.
    Windows 7 64 bit
    8G memory
    256 GB, 1 TB HD SS system disc
    Intel Q9950
    MB GIGABYTE.

    Blue screen crashes are rare and usually require an incompatibility with driver graphics card. Launch Firefox in its Safe Mode and disable hardware acceleration.

    Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox

    In the small dialog box that appears, click on 'Start mode safe' (not Reset)

    The orange open Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    While you are in the settings view, disable all non-essential or unrecognized modules on these two tabs:

    Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Plugins category

    Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category

    Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  • Firefox Beta 23 crashed 5 times in the last hour since the update, twice with a BSOD of video driver failure. I can't understand another way to this post.

    FF was running fast and stable until the beta update tonight. Later he crashed several times, sometimes with a total system crash, sometimes with a system is unresponsive, sometimes with a video driver leading to a BSOD crash.

    I had to DL 22 release and restore. I am now on the output channel, not the beta channel.

    System Setup: Dell Latitude 6410, Win 7 x 64, 128 GB SSD, 4 GB of RAM, Intel video hardware. Everything is up-to-date.

    Trying to get out before it blocks again and then switching to 22.

    Java plugin is usually disabled.
    Toolbars are ABP, disconnection and download status bar.

    Update:

    Have been able to run > 4 hours stable release 22 without hardware acceleration and long-awaited performance. I identified that my Crucial necessary M4 SSD firmware updated because of a problem that causes the BSOD after 5000 operating hours. Since the firmware update has been applied, I was stable.

    Firefox may have been a catalyst, not a culprit. I wonder if my BSOD troubles began because FF or FF, as Flash module, was trying to make the disk space which had been rendered difficult by my bad SSD firmware.

    Will post again in 24 HR works normally on 22 and then try 23 update to see if it is resolved.

    Thank you all for the input. Hope my comments are useful somehow.

  • BSOD System_Service_Exception using Firefox initiation a week ago. Fine with IE.

    With the help of HP Series 2000 laptop just bought in November 2012. Processor AMD Windows 8. I put online using Firefox for about 15 minutes and I get the BSOD System_Service_Exception and reboots the machine. I use IE, and it works very well. Use Firefox on this laptop since the beginning, has begun to malfunction in the last week or two. Looks like one of the update of Firefox is not agree with Windows 8. I can't provide troubleshooting information because Firefox will not open long enough.

    If you are under warranty, please call HP, but given that this issue is not related to Firefox, we suggest that you do a Google of your error message. Thank you.

  • Weird Graphics problem, leads eventually to force restart or same BSOD

    I'm fairly certain that it's associated with firefox, or plug or maybe compatibility issue, however I'm getting weird graphic blocks. the occasionlly seem to start from a flash image in a page, but I can't say this is the cause 100%. Looks like small multicoloured boxes located in weird habits. and causes other odd graphics, it's even worse, more I gave it the value. Once for the heck of it I drove up and down scroll bar about 10 times very fast and it makes a BSOD. These odd graphs do not always appear if I do not open Firefox (use IE today), but they do not disappear if I see and then stop Firefox. Usually I have to restart the computer, because they take too much of the screen, I see nothing. It does not change even if when I move windows and others, they are not limited to the Firefox window and spread to the office empty too.

    I think that the settings manager for flash player in the control panel of the operating system has no hardware acceleration still options. From now on, you may need to right click on a video in a web page to enable / disable hardware acceleration of individual flash.

Maybe you are looking for
