Set to automatic update gave BSOD

Hi all

I recently installed a service pack windows from automatic updating (I don't know which) and when I restarted my computer I got the blue screen of death. I tried to reboot in safe mode, but it keeps going back to the same screen.

The tech info that gave me was:

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

STOP: 0X000000ED (0X86D69C08, 0X00000000, 0XC000009C, 0X00000000)

I don't have my installation CD and I am running windows XP media center edition. Any suggestions on what I should do? What I've read it seems I need drives so is there anyway I can get them online or something?

Thank you
Zach

It helps those answering questions if you provide:

what the version of windows (32-bit or 64-bit) and service pack level.

you use what browser (exact version).

what application anti-virus or security suite is installed and your current subscription?

What third-party firewall

What anti-malware software can be installed.

What updates you trying to install? (Number of KB)

Please do it in your next reply.

Nothing should be running during the CHKDSK command, try this way.

Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr... You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a burning third-party software to do this such as Roxio, Nero, or the free CDBurnerXP Pro. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

If the drive passes all physical tests (long test), then retrieve your data using a Linux Live CD (I prefer Knoppix) or a Bart PE and do a clean install of Windows, because the file system is completely b0rked.

  • APSB15-27 will install automatically if flash is set to automatic update?  How do you determine if it's installed?

    Will be APSB15-27 will install automatically if flash is set to automatic update?  How do you determine if it's installed?

    Hello

    Yes, if the Flash is set to the automatic update, then the system automatically update to the latest version, 19.0.0.226.  There are several ways to determine if the system is updated:

    Windows:

    • Check the version number in the files saved to:

      • C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
      • C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    • In the registry:
      • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer > CurrentVersion

        • But if you have more than one browser, you can check the version of each type of player:

          • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerActiveX > Version
          • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPepper > Version
          • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPluginReleaseType > Version
      • If you have the 64-bit operating system, you will want to check the Wow6432Node corresponding node as well (although the installed version should be the same for both 32-bit versions and 64-bit)

    OS X:

    • NPAPI plugin: / Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/Info.plist > CFBundleVersion
    • PPAPI plugin: / Library/Internet Plug-Ins/PepperFlashPlayer/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin/Contents/Info.plist > CFBundleVersion

  • Set to automatic update of XP does not work on Satelliete A30 - 714

    Hello

    For centuries now, I got a legend when I start my saying Satelliete A30 - 714 automatic updates are not under tension.

    I try and then turn them on in Windows Security Center, but he says that I can not change setting so try to do this in the Panel. I put the automatic updates and the time and nothing happens at the set time. If I then select updates directly, I'm getting on the Microsoft site and after checking what version of Windows I have (which is XP), I get the following error message:

    "[Error number: 0 x 80070424]."

  • Set to automatic update taking too long

    I just bought a new gateway computer that has Microsoft 7 Home Premium yesterday. Last night, he had 12 automatic updates which was fine. Today, he says have 26 and was killed on 15 for 9 hours. It seems that there is a problem, but I'm not sure what to do as he says don't not to turn it off. What is going on? I've never had this problem with any of my other computers I've had.

    When you do the initial update of a new facility, it often takes more than a tour through windows update to get all the fixes.

    Of course, it's stuck on one.

    • Out of the update, worst case, simply turn off the unit.
    • Restart,
    • go to Windows Update,
    • find the update history.
    • Find the last update failed.
    • Double-click it to see the details. Bad to shoot the problem, there are often links to possible solutions
    • repetition of windows update scan. This limits the number of updates that you apply. Start with just one failed,
    • Once you have passed a casusing worth, take a small subset of those available to the general public
    • Let repeateing until you can do a couple of update scans and finds nothing
    • After getting updates all enforce a copy backup of the complete picture of your computer so that you have a known good point to restore that would not force all these fixes again.

  • Set to automatic update ran CHKDSK and my computer will not connect

    Is there an automatic update on demand. When I turned on my computer, it ran a CHKDSK. I saw that he has deleted a file named $I381. When he started to update and got to step 3 of 3, he keeps trying to update. It restarts automatically and goes back to step 3 of 3 screen continuously. I tried closing down and turning them back, but not luck. Me should not be in a journal or anything. It just keeps trying to complete step 3 of 3.  Does anyone have an idea of what past? And how to fix it?

  • Set to automatic update turns off its own.

    I keep trying to download and install updates on my system. but I still have to go restart my updates of grubbing-up. whenever I go to the site and try to force updates, I have this problem, I also noticed today that it shows they are downloaded but not installed them. What can I do to solve this problem in order to install these downloads and keep my automatic updates works fine. Thanks in advance.

    Khadyz,
    If you still experience this issue, then here are a few things to start with.

    Make sure that your system is not infected with virus\malware.  This thread has lots of information about dealing with that: get rid of the malware.

    Perform a clean boot , and then run the updates.

    You may also want to reset Windows Update components and see if that corrects the problem.

How can I check to make sure the update really taken? Hardware Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop media Direct. I'm updated at 03:00, PST.

    Hi dazed and Confuzed,

    Thanks for posting. You can check the updates installed from the Add/Remove Programs window in Control Panel. There will be a box at the top where you can check to view installed updates. There are also third-party programs available that will do the same.

    I hope this helps!

  • Set to automatic update has affected my iTunes software

    My PC recently received a big aut-update to Windows 7. When it is installed, my iTunes software has stopped working.  Double-clicking the icon has no effect (beyond see the hourglass - now the circle - appear for a short period). I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes in the right order and we tried a system restore to an earlier point without effect. can anyone help?  Thank you.

    Hello Ian GK,

    Go to Services and then DISABLE the Hello Service. Then, restart Windows. Hello to restart Windows Service should not be running, and you should be able to use the Windows Installer Cleanup utility and complete uninstallation.

    Now, download the version of iTunes again and see if you can install it and get it working again.

    It is an article of Apple dealing with issues after updating to iTunes. May be useful for the resolution of problems for you.
