My computer crashes! -unknown error checking

The computer is a Microsoft Windows XP Professional. It is rather more older (2005) and was not up-to-date or online until a few years ago. (Mainly used for games.) However, it is almost unusable now, because it hangs on a consistent basis.

There are several different problems. The most common one is a random stop that occurs out of the blue. Most of the time it restarts and reports "system has recovered from a serious error." These error reports are different and do not have a common denominator. Sometimes they are corrupt. Other times, the computer is simply blank after the accident. the monitor to fall asleep and the tower still running.

There is also a 'frozen' system that occurs just after the start. He reached the office but does not do so. Sometimes the keyboard and the mouse still work, but I can't click on anything. (I'm usually off manually after these two problems).

I would include all system information I could, but unfortunately I can not turn on the computer for trouble right now. When I turn it on, the screen simply says "VGA status: no Signal input." It is like that for ever until I have turn off manually. (It's happened and I will continue to try to get it started). I tried safe mode; seems to work very well. I tried a clean boot this morning; It starts fine but after I put it in sleep mode, it is dead...

I'm lost as to what is causing all this. This random failure has been occurring regularly for more than a year. Some days it hangs constantly and there are days when it works quite well. I tried every virus program, running the check disk, fragmentation and the installation of each update available. Nothing seems to help or give me a clue as to what is wrong, because when the computer is not crashing, it works perfectly fine!

There are also several non-plug-and-play devices that have a yellow warning sign next to them. They all have the letter K and the other numbers to them, with the exception of a device series. They all give me code 24 (this device is not working properly or is not all its drivers installed, or something like that.)

I would point out that the computer had viruses and Trojan horses on it, but I think they have been removed. I have Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebytes, and SuperAntiSpyware on it.

In addition, there is an annoying tendency of balloons popup that warn me that firewall Windows has been disabled. Half the time, I opened the firewall and it is on. The rest of the time I have to manually turn it back on. Any idea what could be the cause?

And regarding "recently installed programs" that could cause this problem of crash, it is impossible, because he does this for years!

Sorry for the length of this. There are a lot of problems with no real information. I wish I could provide more data and I'll try to when the computer is running again, but I don't really know where to start. I hope that's not a failure of the motherboard or something...

I'm very happy for any kind of help!

Hello M & Mmpty,

I took a glance at the last dump.  It was a stop 0x8E.  From what we see in the landfill, MPFilter.sys seems to be the culprit on this one.

It is a component of Microsoft Security Essentials.

Here is the stack of debugging information.  As you will see, MPFilter is at the top of the stack:

I would recommend the following: measures:

  1. Download the latest version of Microsoft Security Essentials.
  2. Uninstall the current version.
  3. Reinstall the freshly downloaded version.

Let us know if you have any questions about it.

I will consider other landfills shortly.

  • System won't start no-unknown error checking

    Recently I tried to restart my Vista and it goes to blue screen and then fails to restart in safe mode.

    the recovery mode comes into play but also fails with the following message: "Root cause found: unknown error checking: 8th error checking." Parameters = 0xc0000006, 80539736, ox8c115ede8, 0 x 0 x 0.

    I had a look on the command prompt and the desktop folder seems to have disappeared too.

    What happens and how can I get here?

    Using the CD recovery returns the system she had when the recovery disks have been created and destroyed the existing data files on the hard drive. That is why we advise you to copy all the data of the external media player files before using the recovery CD. See page 7 of the section of the manual Danah entited BackUp and Recovery-Vista in this link:
    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/WC/manualCategory?LC=en&DLC=en&CC=au&softwareitem=ob-86224-1&OS=2093&Product=3938305&sw_lang= &

    When you have used the restore disks I suggest that you update the BIOS to version F55 I hope to avoid a repeat of the current situation. You will then need to reinstall all Windows updates and programs installed since you did the recovery disks. You will also need to go through the process to bring the computer back to the way you like it.

    Before updating the BIOS read this Article:

    Problems with word and PDF after crash

    My computer crashed and I had to run the recovery disk, the repair option, so he could run again. It does not format my computer but I had to re - install several programs. I reinstalled my copy of office for example.  I have an external hard drive where I put most of my files but since installing the recovery disc, it does not open some Word documents and gives a message error "user has not access privilege." It's the same thing with some pdf files. What can I do?  Please help because I can't open some of my documents from the University.

    Hello world
    I would like to just say thank you for your help and the problem is now solved.  In the end I paid someone to sort it out.  He explained that it was something like permissions for some of my files were owned by my old operating system and after that my computer crashed and I had to put through the recovery disc these permissions have been lost.  He told me that he had a program that looked for the old existing and re-installed.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    To help you, we will need files DMP to analyze what exactly happened at the time of the accident, etc.

    If you don't know where the DMP files, here's how to get to them:
    1. go to the Windows\Minidump folder.
    2 copy all the DMP files in the Minidump folder on your desktop and zip then those files.
    3 download the zip containing the files DMP to Skydrive or a Web hosting of your choice and paste in your answer.

    If you plan to use Skydrive, but do not know how to download it, please see the following:
    http://www.WikiHow.com/use-SkyDrive

    Please note that all "cleaner" such as TuneUp Utilities, CCleaner, etc., default will remove files DMP when using because of their place too.

    If your computer doesn't generate DMP files, follow these steps:

    1. start > type systemroot which should show the Windows folder, click it. Once inside this folder, make sure there is a Minidump folder created. If not, CTRL-SHIFT-N to create a new folder and name it Minidump.

    2. Windows key + key Pause. This should appear in the system. Click Advanced on the left system settings > advanced > performance > settings > advanced > make sure there is a check mark for "manage automatically the size of pagefile for all readers."

    3. Windows key + key Pause. This should appear in the system. Click Advanced on the left system settings > advanced > startup and Recovery > settings > failure > ensure there is a check mark next to "Write an event to the system log" > make sure that "automatically reboot" is unchecked.

    Ensure that the partial memory image is turned on and make sure the path is % SystemRoot%\Minidump.

    4. check that the viewers is ENABLED:

    Start > Search > type services.msc > on the name tab, search for Windows Error Reporting Service > if the service status is not started, then right-click and select start. Also to ensure that, under Startup Type set to automatic rather than manual. You can do this by right click, select properties and under general selection on 'Automatic' startup type and then click on apply.

    If you can not get into normal mode to do this, please do so via Safe Mode.

    Kind regards

  • Try to run a 'error checking' and 'defragmentation' on my computer

    Hello

    My computer was slow, so I would like to run a 'error checking' and 'Defragmentation '.

    When I try to run the "error checking" I get the following message: "the disk check cannot be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk. These files are accessible only by restarting windows. You want to schedule this disk check to occur the next time that you restart the computer? " I tried to restart Windows and check the disc again, but I still get the same message.

    When I try to run a defrag, I get the following message: "Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chdsk is expected to run on the volume: HP_PAVILION (c)." Please run Chkdsk /f.' I've repeatedly said no to checkdisk start in the previous paragraph, but I always get these messages.

    No information as to how I can solve this problem?

    Thank you!  Kara

    Maybe you will need to follow the instructions more closely.  If your repeatedly said 'NO', how it's supposed to run checkdisk?

    1. Click to open the computer.

    2. Right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

    3. Click on the Tools tab, and then under error checking, clickCheck now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

      To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, selectAutomatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

      To perform a full disk check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

      To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix file system errors andScan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    4. Click Start.

    Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.

    Note

    • If you select automatically fix errors of system file of a disk that is used (for example, thepartition as containsWindows), you will be asked to reschedule the disk check for the next time you restart your computer.

    This had already happened with another server (also W2003 DC), but the hardware was completely different; Unfortunately, I wasn't able to solve this year here.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance

    Thank you for all your help

    I finally found the guilty service.

    It was pcmonitor monitor/remote control software. Once I stopped it is service vmware converter could get the capacity of the physical drives.

    It is rather curious because I made several servers P2V conversions using this software (so far the last one two weeks ago - the difference between that server and this one was that the first was not a domain controller).

    Hopefully this thread will help others in the future.
