  What's more troubling, it is that, after the recent BSOD many of the setting to my programs have been reset for example parameter System Explorer were now rest at their default value.
  
  
  Also some services have ceased to be worrying most windows error reporting and service for Microsoft Security Essentials (I restarted the services).
  
  
  I don't think it's a virus problem that I ran three antivirus with MSE scans today and they are all clean.

• BSOD and the only file that appears is ntkrnlpa.exe when you play Metal Gear Rising

  So it's a bit complicated to explain especially because I downloaded Bluescreenview and the only file that appears is ntkrnlpa.exe and happens when I play Metal Gear Rising statement, which is a CPU intensive game, I thought it was because it was overheating and/or die but I downloaded Core Temp to monitor if my fan work and the max temp it reached is 65 degrees celsius so I can't find the problem, it happens randomly, once I could play 2 hours withouth a BSOD and the following 5 minutes, I also tried to reinstall but nothing happened, I only overclock my Gpu, my cpu is a pretty old 1.8 ghz dual core but it can still run any game well enough, I also tried the option veryfier.exe which led to my computer crash at startup , so I had to disable using safe mode, and it was down deamon tools, is my failing processor or windows give up and I need to reinstall?

  Thanks for the help, the game does not cause me a BSOD since I've updated PCI sound card drivers which I didn't at first because the site is in a mixture of Japanese and really bad English.

• BSOD Vista caused by Ntkrnlpa.exe Ntfs.Sys, random hal.dll, etc..

  A friend of mine gave me this computer about 2 or 3 months without a hard drive, thanks to a little research because I am not a professional of any kind, I knew that, because of the lack of a disk hard computer did not have an operating system. Having had an old computer just sitting with a 60 GB hard drive I connected on the computer I have now. After buying a new installation of Windows Vista Service Pack 2 disc, just well installed on the hard drive (which has been formatted to remove the old operating system, and all other things potentially buggy) and the computer has given new life. Following these time immediately, I downloaded and installed Microsoft security Essentials to protect my computer and a few other things to Rainmeter, steam, and that's it. Not even which in fact through the first day, however it has begun its random cycle without blue screening end who, after looking hard and troubleshooting, I've yet to find a solution for. Especially, it occurs whenever trying to read a chart highlighting / demanding the game, but also random triggers when nothing works and it's just sitting here. Ironically, I am writing this issue on the same computer in the hope I can find a fix to the Microsoft community.

• Blue Screen Error Code Caused by hal.dll and ntkrnlpa.exe 9F.

  original title: BSOD error Code Caused by hal.dll and ntkrnlpa.exe 9F.

  Currently, I'm having a problem on a Fujitsu T1010 with Windows Vista x 84 installed tablet. At a random time that I use my computer, I get a generic blue screen with information DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. The error code is 0x0000009F (0 x 00000003, 0x86f692e0, 0x86f692e0, 0x865a6598). BlueScreenView.exe, I see that the root causes are hal.dll + 997f and ntkrnlpa.exe + f5b28. So far, I've had 14 accidents. I run the driver verifier and the causes are hal.dll + 726c and ntkrnlpa.exe + 2ea5a7 windrvr6.sys + 0. Any help is appreciated! Thank you.

  Hello

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.
  
  Updated drivers, BIOS and software control (if any) is a good idea.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - reset after each
  installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
  questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
  manually if you wish.

The blue screen would leap upward when I could connect to a wireless network; not had time to play with it so I just rolled back the update. Finally had updated the driver today and it blue screened after installation of the driver, so I am at a loss, any help would be very beneficial.

  This memory test intercept all errors. Try to run with less than sticks and change the place-
  Order lying sticks to try to ensure faster (even if the same card) is installed in the front

  Have you checked on the other Bug_Checks to FaultWire? 1, 1 a, FE, 8th and D1? When you get this

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have

  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)

  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  Hello

  have been unable to fix a fault on my laptop. BSOD problem has been detected and windows has shut down. I was told by someone that this was resolved when they replaced their hard drive.

  Could someone tell me what hard drive I need to get?
  Once I have to get one and put it in the machine should it restarts just using the system recovery disk, because it is what I have provided with or will it get other new software?

  I hope someone can help. Really lost without a laptop!

  Please do not be angry on me, but I do not understand why you start the second wire on the same issue. All this can be clarified on your original on this BSOD problem thread.

  In any case, if you have a warranty valid, please don't spend your money for the new hardware before clarify you this with maintainer authorized Toshiba. Maybe you are right on HARD drive, but please first check with the ASP.

  The problem is Google Chrome, some parts of it have been either damaged or corrupted or maybe even deleted by me at some point. Chrome could not save my settings and I found in the settings there is a box you click so it does not run in the background even if Chrome is not actively open.

  In any case, I re-installed Chrome and the message stopped since then. The computer works perfectly now.
  Thanks for your help. It really helped me refine the possible culprits, the origin of the problem.

• Installation of QuickBooks 2012 gives the error "set.up.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close."

  I try to install new software Quickbooks 2012 on the computer that is running Windows XP. The installation will start and get error "set.up.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." I spoke with Quickbooks technical support on this issue, but they have been unable to solve the problem. I have read several of these posts on this forum about this kind of mistake, but none seem to be directly related to my situation. I plan to try to reload the Windows XP operating system, but unfortunately, the CD is missing. I'd appreciate any help that anyone could have.

  Hi Bill Gammon,.

  You can go ahead and try the suggestions and if the problem persists then I you suggest to run the Microsoft Fixit and then try to install Quickbooks 2012.
