    If your computer is restarted when the BSOD appears, then you must change the by default for what to do in case of system error. It is easy to do, but takes a lot of mouse clicks to get there:

    Start | Control Panel | System | Advanced system settings (need for credentials for the administrator to spend here |) Advanced | Startup and recovery / settings.

    On this screen, uncheck the box under system failure that says automatically restart. The next time the BSOD appears, your computer will not do anything else until you press the reset button, so you'll have all the time you need to read and copy the error codes. Paste here, verbatim, and someone should be able to point in the right direction.

    ``````~~~~`````

    In the control panel choose reports on problems and Solutions (problem of type in the START search box), go to historical problem, right-click your error and choose check for the Solution. You can also examine the details.

    In administrative tools, choose the reliability and performance monitor and click on MonitoringTools then the reliability monitor (type reliability in research on Start). This list is a chart of the software installs, uninstalls, updated Windows and crashes by date. See if your plant has started to happen after you installed or uninstalled something.

  • Most of the games that require 'run as administrator' not loading well much of the time, sometimes even resulting in a blue screen

    OK, so the point is around 2 specific games that I play with my friend, those Heroes of Newerth and League of Legends. The two I need to aprove make changes to the computer to start. Together with launch normally, but when it comes to load a game, I'm gambling or not my pc will fuction when the loading is complete.

    The problems differ from a partial freeze with occasional spikes along the screen to a snowy screen and sometimes even a blue screen or a forced reboot.

    I doubt that the problem has nothing to do with the required performance, especially when it comes to League of Legends. My pc is brand new and it can run the latest game call duty on high graphics with no problems at all and it is several times heavier on the required performance than the other two 2.

    Any ideas what could be causing it and how can I solve it?

    My pc runs on Windows 7 on an AMD Athlon II x 4 630 to 2.80 GHz proccessor 2 GB of RAM, the card mother M4A785TD-V EVO and a gainward gt 240 512 MB GDDR3 graphics card.

  • YouTube crashes my computer. Blue screen event.

    OK, so I have a Toshiba laptop running Windows Vista. The browser I use is Mozilla Firefox (just recently downloaded a new beta version of it too and tried, doesn't help). Every time when I am on youtube, my computer stops and gives me a blue screen (it takes sometimes an hour, two hours, three hours, or more, he also made right after the computer starts, and I tried with open, only youtube is not that I'm running too much, I don't think). Then it restarts itself until I have a chance to read anything on the blue screen and tells me that windows is recovering from an unexpected shutdown. It gives me nothing when I'm looking for a solution, but it's the details it gives me:

    I looked in the youtube support forum. Called me the Microsoft support forum to get a solution.
    Then I thought I should check the manufacturer's Web site. At first, I was sure that it was something wrong with my DVD player, but I fixed and it is always the case. A little more than a week, I did a restore of the system at the factory, so I am not convinced that that is going to work, however I didn't start having this problem until AFTER I did the restore... then maybe it was? I do not know.

    Someone suggested that I acquired a virus. I have anti-virus software.
    And may not have something to do with my computer overheating because I use a cooling block. Any help would be much appreciated!

    Oh! And it occurs both in Internet Explorer. And I always check the updates of Windows on my computer. I download when I have them, but right now I have not any significant.

    I was finally able to get the blue screen to stay long enough for me to read. It said it would close down because it has detected a problem and is trying to prevent any damage to my computer. He said that if I had never seen the message before, just restart, but if I had seen him before following a bunch of steps I don't understand completely...

    To check if a disk space sufficient (-adequate for what?)

    If a driver is identified in the stop message (which I do not know if it is) I need to disable the driver (which I do not know how) or consult the manufacturer for the update of the driver (I guess that means on the Web from Toshiba site?)

    Change video cards (once more... no idea?)

    He also tells me to check the hardware provider for the BIOS update (don't know what it is or how to make)
    Disable the BIOS such as caching memory options or shading (still don't know)

    Then he told me how to go in safe mode, if I need to do it this way.

    Then he says this:

    STOP: 0X0000008E (0 X 0000005, 0X8D8497C0, 0XA6EFB6B8, 0X00000000)

    And then said a bunch of stuff about dumping something memory to disk or whatever.
    If ya... If anyone knows what this means and can help me... PLEASE DO!

  • Re: Satellite A200 1 M 5 blue screen & gel

    I have an older A200 10 months under Vista Home Premium that came preinstalled on purchase.
    Since the beginning, but more regularly now, it freezes in any program several times a day and is now crashing with the blue screen to come before the dumping and restarting itself.

    It seems to be a major problem, according to the number of people making similar comments on the net and offering all kinds of weird answers and solutions.

    I use this computer every day for business and cannot afford this ridiculous downtime nor I believe that should I have to do anything... it's a new computer!

    What's his problem?
    What is the cause?
    Can it be fixed?

    I can't afford to be without it, or I can afford a the size of the time in the repair shops, until the answer?

    Hi Andrew

    AGENTS can result from severe software or a hardware problem.
    But the fact is that the BSOD is a deviation and so it is not easy to say what causes this problem.

    First of all, it is necessary to know if its software or hardware related problem.
    You can find it using the Toshiba Recovery CD. After the new installation of operating system the laptop should run stable and should not occurs the BSOD.

    But if the BSOD will persist, then the problem could be caused by faulty hardware.
    The BSOD appeared on my laptop Toshiba-not too much, and it was related to the temperature inside the laptop.
    The high temperature was a bad influence on the memory modules.

    I cleaned then cooling of modules using a jet of compressed air and the BSOD appeared not.
    But look, man. This does not mean that this could be the reason even to find you BSOD errors.
    So as you can see, it's really not easy to say what could be wrong.

    If the BSOD will persist even after recovery again then I recommend to contact technical service for a detailed notebook check.

  • Error on blue screen on Equium A100-549

    Hello

    I won a laptop facing a blue screen error every time she has been put in service. I was provided with the essential components and did a format using the recovery CD. Once it was full, I pulled out the as shown then clicked exit Recovery CD. The black window says complete format and the PC turns off. When I try to turn on an orange light flashes on one of the LEDS and the PC does not illuminate. Most of the text is in Chinese, while he was working too (the owner of Chinese). I would be grateful for some assistance.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    From your description, I guess that the LED flashes all the time if the AC adapter is plugged in. Am I wrong?
    I think there is a hardware failure, and the LED provide a blink code.
    Unfortunately, I n t think you can solve this problem by yourself.
    In my opinion, a technician must check the laptop. Service guys are able to read the code and can find the fault.

  • Blue screens with XP on Satellite L40 - 17Q

    Hello

    I have Satellite L40 17 Q with Xp installed and working.

    Even after a clear Blue Screen of Death installation appear from time to time, especially the mention IRQL or Special_poll_detected issues...

    I want to believe that there is no hardware problem or it's just the drivers, but I do not have another package of driver that I downloaded from the Toshiba site.

    Please give me your opinion or any suggestion of a solution.

    The laptop has 1.86 Celeron CPU and 2 GB of ram.
    I was wondering what version of Vista it would fit and how does it perform on Vista.

    I decided to go with Home Premium {without the Aero}, but I do not if the pc would be stable enough or it will go sluggish.

    Briefly, please tell me my computer run differently with Vista over XP?

    Thanks in advance

    Dude. Problems with xp can be solved with a windows repair. But to do that if your serial number have not been used too otherwise you will struggle to activate xp with it. Second: Try to stay with xp for a while: a year at least. Vista which is not good, but because of compatibility issues, and he uses a * charge of resources more than xp. Hsould you have at least 2 GB of ram to run vista well. You have, but with this you' owe it have a core duo 2.0 ghz processor. My senses. XP is much faster on a pc with 2 GB of ram than vista with 2 GB of ram. For Windows vista to work the fat, you should have that 4 GB of ram. That's me form.

  • Can not install any version of Xp because blue screens

    Hello

    I recently got a Compaq Mini 110 c - 1050SF my sister.

    (She recently bought for me while visiting the France. The first problem is that the laptop will not stop (after pressing Shut Down, it stops and after 3 seconds, it restarts and connects to Windows. She not noticed this and now I can't return it because I'm not in France, and she left already. The 'solution' is to keep button about 5 seconds of the laptop ON the button in order to stay shutted down.))

    In any case, my main problem is that I can not install the XP or 7.

    (Any version of Windows XP, I tried end up with a blue screen after the Licend agreement arise, and any version of Windows 7, I tried popping guard this: "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing.) (If you have a disk driver, CD, DVD, or USB flash device, please insert now' but my laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD player, and I do not have this driver.)

    Can someone help me install XP or 7 (7 would be great, but I will be happy with Xp too).

    Thank you very much!

    Found the solution (my found friend):

    -created a bootable with Lili software Ubuntu

    -initialized and chosed try Ubuntu.

    -in the Terminal, I opened gpart (a partition Manager) and formatting drive HARD whole, created 2 partitions NTFS

    -with Novicorp WintoFlash, I created a bootable USB and Windows 7 installation was flawless.

  • Blue Screen error-Kernel_Data_Inpage - dups then black screen blinking cursor Diisk reboot

    I have a Windows XP - Home Edition. My personl computer Compaq is 12 years old.

    The system displays a blue screen with letering white, it is said Kernel_Data_ Inpage Error and also tells me to remove caching and shadowing in my BIOS menu. ???

    He said that if I recently installed new software or hardware to uninstall it to see if that helps.  I'm not as far as I know, execept one vershion editing ADOBE.  I also removed some software like PON Bars and an old vershion of JAVA /.

    I did a system restore, but it does not help, and now my Internet Explorer crashes too!   I have to keep manually close the market system and after that I get a black screen, which requires a Reboot disk, Windows finally arrives, but will eventually, and the schreen blue WARNING appears. He said also he made a DUMP to protect my computer and stop.

    Most of the things see you on a blue screen of death (BSOD) is generic boilerplate stuff you see on just about all BSOD.  What is important is the few lines that you see under the heading technical information - and sometimes it is not enough to understand what is happening.

    After trying the suggestions of the engaged Microsoft Support Engineer 'expert', someone who knows how XP works may be able to help understand what is happening if you provide information on your system and your system crash dump files.  I do not see how these things suggested will give you clues about what causes your BSOD, but they are the "experts".

    The following looks like a lot to do, but if you do the best you can with it, your question will be resolved more quickly than to try some things:

    Unfortunately, MS Answers forums does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, so we don't know anything on your system.

    Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Please MS Answers, continue to make solving simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    What is your Internet browser and version?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Your system seems to start OK and then crash or didn't he start not at all?
    Can you make the system crash when you want?  For example, you would say that there is no specific system activity that coincides with the accidents (like watching videos, playing games, etc.).

    The next time your system crashes, provide more information on what you see.

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:
    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).
    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.
    If there is a name of the file listed in the STOP message, don't forget to include this information too.
    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we know what your BSOD looks like.
    Now provide more information about your system and data against more recent accidents.
    Click Start, run and enter in the box:
    Msinfo32
    Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here in your next reply.
    For information about video drivers, expand components, click display, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here in your next reply.

    This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.

    It is sometimes easier just to download the memory dump files since your last breaks down on your SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).   So can someone who already has Windows debugging tools to look at things and understand what is happening.

    Dump memory of recent crashes and BSOD files are usually in this folder (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive):

    c:\windows\minidump

    The files will be named something like this:

    Mini120311 - 01.dmp

    You need to download the latest... maybe 5-10 of the most recent crash dump files should be sufficient if you who have a lot.  If you do not have that much, send what you have.

    Getting started with SkyDrive:
    http://explore.live.com/SkyDrive-get-started

    Once you get your downloaded files and watch them on your SkyDrive, you need to 'share' your folders/files so that others can see them.

    Here is a link that tells you how to:
    http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-SkyDrive-change-access-permissions-FAQ

    Then click on the button "insert a link".  When you click on that, a window opens that contains the link to your SkyDrive files.

    Copy the contents of the box "copy this link to share:" in selecting the content of the link (it will be all highlighted), press Ctrl + C (copy) and then come back to the forum and in your next message, press Ctrl + V to paste the contents of the link back here.

    What you paste the return will look something like this link on my SkyDrive:

    While you wait, please follow these steps:

    No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    SAS will probably report a lot of tracking cookies and you can just let him delete them.

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  • The blue screen of start - stop unknown codes errors

    I use windows XP service Pack 3.  I changed my diet over yesterday with a few errors when trying to start finally started. subsequently had some problems with a freeze up. tried to restart and got the blue screen of death with errors. re installed powersupply old got it up and running again. It tried to boot the pc and blue screen errors again. Put the new power supply in eide cable changed on hard drive. Booted fine ran a few hours and blue screen again. The warning is a windows subsystem process is completed with status 0xc0000005, 0x7e7213ca, and 0x006af5d8. any help would be great thanks Steve

    Error code 0 x 0000005 usually indicates some sort of a permissions problem.  I have no idea how this would bind to a socket well!

    If it works sometimes, if you play inside, do you think you may have a poor connection or loose somewhere?  Are you able to just unlug and reconnect / reinstall everything will be cancelled (without using too much force)?  Just do one thing at a time, so you don't mix...  Unplug it, plug it back, unplug the next thing, plug it back, etc.  You reinstall RAM and video card if you have one in a crack - out them one at a time, put them immediately from whence they came.

    Here's how to start debugging of a BSOD.

    Please provide additional information on your system:
    What is your system brand and model?
    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)
    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?
    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    Your system seems to start OK and then crash or didn't he start not at all?

    If your system works fine, what do you think might have changed since the last time it worked correctly?
    Can you make the system crash when you want
    ?  For example, you would say that there is no specific system activity that coincides with the accidents (like watching videos, playing games, etc.).

    The next time your system crashes, provide more information on what you see.
    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:
    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).
    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.
    If there is a name of the file listed in the STOP message, don't forget to include this information too.
    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.
    Now provide more information about your system and data against more recent accidents.
    Click Start, run and enter in the box:
    Msinfo32
    Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the information here.
    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.
    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.
    This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.
    Download BlueScreenView here:
    Unzip it and run it (BSV installs nothing) and let him complete the digitization of all your crash dump files.
    If you double-click on depressed, you will get information on it (including the field caused by the driver) and you should be able to spot the problem right away - especially if you see a model in landfills where Caused by field pilot is the same (beginning with this driver).
    BlueScreenView tries to find the right driver or module that caused the blue screen by looking inside the stack of the accident. However, be aware that the driver detection mechanism is not 100% reliable, and you should also look in the lower pane, that display all drivers/modules found in the stack.
    Select (highlight) one or more of the most recent dump files by clicking on them and hold down the CTRL key to select multiple files
    .  Try to select only the most recent links that relate to your problem (perhaps five or six to start dump files).
    Click on file, save selected items and save information from the dumps to a text file on your desktop called BSOD.txt.

    Open BSOD.txt with a text editor Notepad, WordPad, etc.), select all (Ctrl-A), copy all the text in the Windows Clipboard (Ctrl-C) and paste the text to the Clipboard (Ctrl-V) back here in your next reply.

  • BCCode error on blue screen 1 has in the Windows XP computer.

    Original title: BSOD on XP Pro.

    I recently started having BSOD on a computer running XP Pro, which had no material or changes in drivers or updates for some time.

    After re-booting, I get the following:

    BCCode 1A BCP1: 00000780 BCP2: C06D 4250 BCP3: CA 81 9898 BCP4: 000004CD OSver:5_1_2600 SP3_0 product 256_1

    Online it suggests incompatible drivers but the only change has recently been anti-virus and the problem predates this.

    Sometimes it happens on startup and the other time when in different programs or even idle.

    The computer is a Dell Vostro, who is just two years old.

    Yes - is not too much sense.

    You can see you are running SP3 from the information you have provided and it makes even less sense as the hotfixes in this section of the Microsoft Support Engineer are already included with SP3.  But, this is a link to an article.

    If/when it crashes again to follow this procedure in order to watch your own crash dump files for clues or download them to your SkyDrive so someone can help you to look at.  It's just a copy/paste that I send to anyone who needs help with a BSOD.

    If you have a few dumps already accumulated on your system before the new video card, they must remain on your system if you want to watch.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    What is your Internet browser and version?

    Your system's disks IDE or SATA drives?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    Do you see that you think not you should see and when you see it?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Your system seems to start OK and then crash or didn't he start not at all?
    Can you make the system crash when you want?  For example, you would say that there is no specific system activity that coincides with the accidents (like watching videos, playing games, etc.).

    The next time your system crashes, provide more information on what you see.

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:
    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).
    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.
    If there is a name of the file listed in the STOP message, don't forget to include this information too.
    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.
    Now provide more information about your system and data against more recent accidents.
    Click Start, run and enter in the box:
    Msinfo32
    Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the information here.
    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.
    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.
    This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.
    Download BlueScreenView here:
    Unzip it and run it (BSV installs nothing) and let him complete the digitization of all your crash dump files.
    If you double-click on depressed, you will get information on it (including the field caused by the driver) and you should be able to spot the problem right away - especially if you see a model in landfills where Caused by field pilot is the same (beginning with this driver).
    BlueScreenView tries to find the right driver or module that caused the blue screen by looking inside the stack of the accident. However, be aware that the driver detection mechanism is not 100% reliable, and you should also look in the lower pane, that display all drivers/modules found in the stack.

    Sometimes BlueScreenView will involve XP files as being the cause of the accident (ntoskrl.exe, win32k.sys, hal.dll etc.) but they are probably not the real cause of the accident (BSV is doing the best he can).

    You will need to either pick up some example crashes over and look through them, or find somewhere the XP files are not the 'cause' or you can upload your files to your SkyDrive crash dump and someone with the windows debugging tools can help take a look at them more closely.

    Select (highlight) one or more of the most recent dump files by clicking on them and hold down the CTRL key to select multiple files.  Try to select only the most recent links that relate to your problem (perhaps five or six to start dump files).
    Click on file, save selected items and save information from the dumps to a text file on your desktop called BSOD.txt.

    Open BSOD.txt with a text editor Notepad, WordPad, etc.), select all (Ctrl-A), copy all the text in the Windows Clipboard (Ctrl-C) and paste the text to the Clipboard (Ctrl-V) back here in your next reply.

    Here's an example of report ASB to a single BSOD I initiated on purpose that indicates the cause of the accident as the pilot i8042prt.sys belonging to Microsoft Corporation:

    Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.

    It is sometimes easier just to download the memory dump files since your last breaks down on your SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).   So can someone who already has Windows debugging tools to look at things and understand what is happening.

    Dump memory of recent crashes and BSOD files are usually in this folder:

    c:\windows\minidump

    The files will be named something like this:

    Mini120311 - 01.dmp

    You need to download the latest... maybe 5-10 of the most recent crash dump files should be sufficient if you who have a lot.  If you do not have that much, send what you have.

    Getting started with SkyDrive:
    http://explore.live.com/SkyDrive-get-started

    Once you get your downloaded files and watch them on your SkyDrive, you need to 'share' your folders/files so that others can see them.

    Here is a link that tells you how to:
    http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-SkyDrive-change-access-permissions-FAQ

    Then click on the button "insert a link".  When you click on that, a window opens that contains the link to your SkyDrive files.

    Copy the contents of the box "copy this link to share:" in selecting the content of the link (it will be all highlighted), press Ctrl + C (copy) and then come back to the forum and in your next message, press Ctrl + V to paste the contents of the link back here.

    What you paste the return will look something like this link on my SkyDrive:
