T42 - stop and restart after the connection
My T42, running on Windows XP, suddenly stops right after the connection and while the hotkeys on the loading screen.
A message in white letters on a blue screen starts like this:
"A problem has been detected and windows has been suthdown to prvent from damage to your computer.
IRQL_NOT_LES_OR_EQUAL
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. "If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
And the product message points to check any new hardware or software installation. I have not recently installed a software or hardware, so I'm a little lost on how to proceed from here.
No clue on what could be the problem or any recommendation, short doing a full recovery from a recent backup?
Any help will be much appreciated. Thenks.

After running a few tests using the blue Access IBM button and PC Doctor 2.0 running, memory tests have shown the following results:
Fast memory - all sockets - failed
Fast memory - Support 1 - spent
Fast memory - take 2 - failed
This seems to indicate that one of the two memory is faulty. This hypothesis is correct?
If so, what should be the next step? My laptop is out of warranty. I should bring it to a repair shop, or could I order the replacement and install it myself easily?
I am not versed in repairs to equipment and feel a bit discouraged to start to mess with storage media...
Any advice, please?
Thank you
It is probably a faulty stick of RAM in the second location rather than the power socket. Best bet is to remove the module RAM then see how it goes.
Second is really easy to access. It is under the laptop - there is a small door in the middle of the base set with a single screw. Remove the screws and remove the door to expose the RAM module. Pull the wire staples on the outside of the restraint SODIMM socket and the RAM module should appear and then remove. Replace the cover and try the laptop again.
IF you must replace the T42 uses to off the shelf of a DDR SO-DIMM, PC2700 speed RAM - needs. Will take up to a 1 GB module in each socket. First is harder to do because he must remove the keyboard to get home. It is only 4 screws but can be a bit tedious for a novice.

I had the Tdss rootkit on my laptop and removed using TDSS Killer of Kasperky. After the reboot, I have connected and saw a box that displays "Please Wait". After 5 to 10 seconds, my computer restarts. After the reboot, it shows options for Windows Vista loading, i.e. the safe mode, safe mode with network. I chose the mode safe mode with networking and everything works fine. The system properties box opens automatically. When I try to boot into normal mode, he repeated restart after the connection. I tried to run a restore of the system into safe mode with networking, but it tells me something about the system restore is in mode offline. I hit a brick wall and don't know what to do next. I don't want to if I have more options to factory default restore.
The TDSS rootkit is very destructive. It is not uncommon to make a computer work is not properly after removing it. I advise you to restore your computer to factory default. Not only is this the best option, it's the safest option. I wouldn't consider the computer to be trusted without going through the restore process. Even if you can be sure that 100% of the infection has been removed, you have no way of knowing what changes the malware made to the settings on your computer, which may be exceptionally vulnerable to future malware attacks.

Problem stopping and restarting the computer

What is the difference between the stop and restart?
What is the difference between the stop and restart? I feel that stopping closed all processes, completely erases RAM memory and clears the cache of the processor. I need to know if 1) this is a correct assumption and 2) which is better for daily maintenance of the system. Thank you in advance.
Hello Jeremy_1976,
Your support when the judgment is correct. Basically, it stops the process and completely turns off your computer. Reboot, however, temporarily your PC stops, then turn it on again. This happens usually when Windows updates are installed. After installation, the system is restarted (rebooted) so that any update has been successfully installed and works as it should. You can be a little mixed upward the reboot and the hibernation. Reboot is, as I have indicated previously, basically a reboot of your machine. Ultimately, your PC is on again after a reboot. However, hibernation, stores all data currently in memory in a special file, then the PC turns off. When you then turn on your PC, that is, coming out of hibernation, hibernation files is used to restore the status of the PC than when you initially put into hibernation. In other words all the programs you had open before will automatically open and be ready to use hibernation.
Hibernation or sleep for that matter is for short-term use. It is normal in Hibernate, or sleep if you want to be away from your PC for half an hour or so. If you leave more than I suggest you stop completely.
A point to remember about hibernation is that, if you use put into hibernation, you can't, once you get out after hibernation, install programs or updates. You have to stop and restart normally to do.

How to start, stop and restart the task
Hi all
Need advice on what is the right way to start, stop, and restart a Java task?
I tried with Executors.newCachedThreadPool () or fixedThreadPool(), however I could not present the task once. My program crashed when I tried again the task again after a shutdownnow command()Tasks are designed to be run once. If you want to restart features, use a service:
http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/API/JavaFX/concurrent/service.htmlService I posted in the following thread shows how to proceed:
MultithreadingUse of executors is unnecessary because a Service encapsulates the management of execution threads (although you can set your own liquidator on the service if you really need). Everything you need to do is use the start of the service, cancel, restart, and reset if necessary. If you do not use the cancel method, then you must ensure that your service is properly interrupt the current to cancel it for function, as you expect.

Stop and restart the cssd on all cluster nodes
Hello
Release our system to operate under linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.3 (Tikanga) 2.6.18 - 128.1.1.el5
Our ASM is 11.1.0.7.0 block of POWER 2
Only ASM is clustered. Databases are not.
2 cluster nodes (Clusterware 11.1.0.7.0)
I have two questions:
1. we need to stop and start the cssd (crsctl stop crs, crsctl start crs) on both our 2 nodes of clusters.
In our test group, I stopped first the ASM and dbs all running on 2 nodes
Then I got arrested and restarded the cssd on the first node, and then on the second node. What is the good order or procedure?
I noticed after the cssd (crsctl stop crs) stopped the process "/ bin/sh /etc/init.d/init.cssd fatal" was always present. I waited for 30 seconds, but he was always there. Then I restarted the cssd (crsctl start crs) in any case. Why was the fatal process always there? It happened on both nodes. After you restart the cssd, I killed the "/ bin/sh /etc/init.d/init.cssd fatal" on both nodes. He was evidently reappear.
in the event that we want to restart both nodes of the cluster, should 2 - I start by disabling the crs before restart the cluster of 2 knots (crsctl disable crs), and then turn it back on after that 2 linux servers are back (crsctl enable crs)?
Thank you, manHello
So, for the closure of this thread, which is the appropriate procedure - for them stopping and restarting the cssd on the two cluster 2 node - among the two below:
1 - do a "crsctl stop Sir' and then 'crsct start crs' on the first node. Then do the same thing on the second node
2. make a "Sir crsctl stop" on both nodes. Then do 'crsct start crs' on both nodesI want to avoid is the two nodes start to restart because of the cssd.
You can run 'crsctl stop/start' at the same time on both nodes or so as you want (1 or 2), no problem.
If you start the clusterware on a first node and later the second node, just make sure that all services who were on the first node the second node have been properly resettled on the second node.
Kind regards

After that my PC works fine.
