VAIO will not boot xp. Crashes with blue screen error.

VAIO will not boot xp.

Sony Vaio PCG - 691L
XP, installed at the factory has SP3 update.

.5gig ram

I worked on the machine to get to start XP. Sometimes it will boot in Safe Mode, but most of the time (and when it does not start in 'normal' mode), it crashes with a blue screen. The blue screen flashes fast to read, and then the machine tries to restart.
Once I do start safe mode and got WIndows update but can't update due to the update that needs to be in normal mode.
I was able to install Malwarebytes and a full scan. Also installed Spybot S & D and performed a full scan.

When it does not start in normal mode it is slow, very slow. I tried rkill and it causes the machine down.

It starts in normal mode today, but it crashed before I can get open IE and go to the windows update.

Help...

Thank you

Rick

Tired of playing with this. Re-install xp.

Thank you...

    I'd really aprecciate help, thank you for your time

    Hello

    The basic definition of a bugcheck 0 x 116 is:

    There may be a bug in the video driver or video material.

    So I would now explain what means VIDEO_TDR_ERROR. Firstly, TDR is an acronym for Timeout detection and recovery. Detection time and recovery was introduced in Vista and carried over to Windows 7. Rather than exactly what detection time and recovery did exactly, I'll just quote the MSDN article!

    Timeout detection:

    Planner of the GPU, which is part of the DirectX Graphics kernel subsystem (Dxgkrnl.sys), detects that the GPU takes more than the amount of time to perform a particular task. The GPU scheduler then attempts to anticipate on this particular task. Preempt is a timeout 'wait', which is the actual time of TDR. This step is the detection of delay of the process phase. The period of default timeout in Windows Vista and later versions is 2 seconds. If the GPU cannot complete or anticipate the current task period TDR, the diagnostic operating system that the GPU is frozen.
    To avoid detection of timeout to occur, hardware vendors should ensure that graphics operations (i.e. buffer DMA completion) will not take more than 2 seconds in scenarios such as productivity and the game to the end user.

    Preparation for recovery:

    The operating system GPU Scheduler calls the function DxgkDdiResetFromTimeout of the miniport driver of the display to inform the driver that the operating system detected a timeout. The pilot must then resets and reset the GPU. In addition, the driver must stop access to memory and go not material. The operating system and the driver collect material and other State information that might be useful for post-mortem diagnosis.

    Recovery of funds:

    The operating system resets the State appropriate graphics stack. The video memory manager, which is also part of Dxgkrnl.sys, serving all allocations of video memory. The miniport display driver resets the State of the GPU hardware. The graphics stack takes the final steps and restores the receptive office. As mentioned previously, some older DirectX applications could make only in black at the end of this recovery, which requires the user to restart these applications. Well-written 9Ex, DirectX and DirectX 10 and subsequent applications which manage peripheral technology delete continue to function correctly. An application must release and then recreate the Direct3D device and all the objects in the device. For more information on how get the DirectX applications, see the Windows SDK.

    Article here.

    That being said, if the detection time and recovery fails to retrieve the display driver, it will then pull the bugcheck 0 x 116. There are many different things that can cause a 0 x 116, which I'll explain below:

    The following hardware problems may cause a TDR event:

    1 unstable overclock (CPU, GPU, etc.). Return any overclocks to stock settings.

    2 bad sector in memory, resulting in corrupted data is communicated between the GPU and system (memory video, otherwise known as VRAM or physical memory, also called RAM).

    GPU tests: Furmark

    RAM test: Memtest86 +.

    3 corrupt hard drive or install Windows / OS install resulting in corruption in the registry or the page file.

    HARD drive Diagnostics: http://www.carrona.org/hddiag.html

    To reset your swap file, follow these steps:

    (a) go to start... Run... and type "sysdm.cpl" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

    -Then click on the Advanced tab.
    - then the Performance Settings button.
    - then on the tab advanced following.
    -and then click the virtual memory button.

    (b) in this window, note the current settings of your swap file (so you can restore them later).

    -Then click on the option button "No paging file", and
    - Press the Set"" button. Don't forget, if you have several hard drives, make sure that the paging file is set to 0 on all of them.
    -Click OK to exit the dialog boxes.

    (c) restarted (this will remove the file from your system)

    ((d) then go back following the directions in step one) and re-enter the settings that you noted in step

    (b) follow the steps along the (and including) the reset.

    (e) once you have restarted this second time, go back and make sure the settings are as they are supposed to be.

    Run the System File Checker:

    SFC. EXE/SCANNOW

    Click on start and type "cmd.exe" (without the quotes)

    At the top of the search box, right-click on the cmd.exe and select "Run as Administrator"

    In the black window that opens, type "SFC. EXE/scannow"(without the quotes) and press ENTER.

    Let the program run and after return what he says when it's done.

    -Overheating of the CPU or GPU and or other elements can cause 0 x 116 bugs. Monitor your temperature and ensure that the system is sufficiently cooled.

    -GPU failure. Whether the heat, power (PSU) issue, lack of VRAM, etc..

    The following software issues can cause a TDR event:

    -Incompatible drivers of any kind (two GPU, sound, etc)

    -Messy registry / corrupted

    -DirectX bad files (uninstall and reinstall DirectX)

    -bad system files (System File Checker - has been run on it)

    -Bad driver (some drivers will cause an event due to internal bugs, but they are not nearly as common as many think because of all the previous things, causing the same symptom) - (remove all 3rd party programs and make sure that are not load drivers. Then install only what you need 3rd party stuff and make sure it is the latest version).

  • Windows Vista does not start, turns to a blue screen error 2203

    original title: Windows Vista does not start, turns to a blue screen HELP PLEASE!

    Help, please! So I'm panicking here, just yesterday, I tried to download the update to Itunes, and it did not work. So I followed the instructions and uninstalled the program first, but one of the applications does not uninstall correctly. I thought I could just substitute with the update and replace. The error code was 2203.

    So I thought it was right after the download all itunes thing, and when I came back to check on the download, the screen turned to this black thing with words on this subject. I decided to force closing down by pressing the power button. Now everytime I turn on the computer, it leads to the screen saying 'windows is loading files', then this blue screen with a very large arrow (the mouse). I tried pressing the F11 key and stuff, but I have no idea what to do. PLEASE REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, REALLY NEED A COMPUTER!

    "I tried to do the second option, because the first really helped."

    Something works, or it doesn't work regarding: "really helped."

  • InDesign CC crash with blue screen at startup to the top

    HY Forum!

    I just bought the full version of Adobe CC a few weeks ago. Adobe Audition/first/Media encode/Photoshop works very well. But if I want to run Adobe InDesign CC I instantly get a screen blue, followed by a restart of the automatic system. It happens every time after about one minute after the launch of the program, even when I do absolutely anything in InDesign and leave the portion of the mouse. It is a time-related system crash. According to me, InDesign tries to load something in the background, after commissioning and crashes more. But that's just a guess... I have attached a picture of the error massage and a screenshot of my system specs.

    Maybe someone can help here. As I said, the work of other programms all well.

  • Cloning hard drive with Clonezilla failed, gave a bad sector error message and now the original hard drive will not boot

    Original title: startup problem

    I tried cloning from my hard drive with Clonezilla, and he gave me a bad sector error.  I have since run the hard drive test in bios and it passed.  Anyway, clone has failed, and now the original hard drive will not boot.  My dvd player won't turn when I try to load the Vista repair CD (Vista Home Premium 32 bit).  Clonezilla removes the start settings for the original disc?  And if so, how can I restore it?  The computer starts just a black screen with a cursor at the top left.  When I install the hard drive in a box and connect it to another computer, it shows the partitions and files all seem to be there.

    Hi DougEisenmann,

    Clonezilla is not supported by Microsoft.

    If you are unable to boot from the Vista repair disk then you will need to go into the system BIOS and make sure that it is configured to boot from the DVD drive.

    Or, if you just want to back up your data and do a clean install:

    1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd, or copy it to an external hard drive. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

    2. you can start the computer target with a Bart PE (XP only) or Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu and retrieve the data in this way. This has the additional advantage to tell you if the problems you are experiencing are hardware or software related because if the computer behaves perfectly in Linux, you know that Windows (software) is the culprit. Conversely, if the computer behaves badly under Linux, you will know that there is a hardware problem. This is general information on the use of Knoppix for the recovery of data when you do not have Windows:

    You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with enough capacity to contain your data OR an external USB hard drive. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD *. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or freeImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created and the Windows files will be visible under Linux. If you want to burn CD/DVD, there will be a Linux burning program to use.

    * If your computer has only an optical drive and you want to use this drive to burn data or need to test drive, you can create a USB bootable Linux instead of a bootable CD. This site will show you how to do it-http://www.pendrivelinux.com

  • Z575 will not boot from the hard drive or restore DVD

    Need help on a laptop Z575 age of 2 years that immediately after an automatic update of windows, will not start either from the hard disk or restore DVDs (blue screen). Does not start in safe mode, not booting from a rescue of third party DVD. Attempt to start, it will show you the ability to start the Startup Repair tool. Repair shows that it is unable to fix with the detail following problem error messages:
    Signature of the problem 1: 6.1.7600.16385
    Signature of problem 2: 6.1.7600.16385
    Signature of the problem 3: unknown
    Signature of the 4:21200196 problem
    Signature problem 5: auto failover
    Signature of the problem 6:7
    Signature of the 7 problem: bad driver
    OS version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1

    Normally think that the hard drive has failed or that windows update caused a software problem, but the inability to boot from any restore disk that makes me think that there is another serious problem with the hardware of the laptop.

    Any help would be appreciated. THX

    Additional note: when you try to boot from a restore disc, blue screen, error message:
    Stop: 0x0000007B (0xF78DA640, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
    It is a hardware failure that cannot be restarted soft.

    I also removed the hard drive and RAM, reinstalled and rebooted, no change.

    Additional note: I was able to access the hard drive with a recovery of old program, focused on the (SpaceFM) ram charged through the DVD player. Hard drive data appears intact. Still does not start from the hard disk or a DVD of windows system.

    Thank you. Rather than buying a 4 GB or more large key USB comes from put this into hard drive replacement. Installed correctly, boots very well now. No other error of the optical drive... and no explanation I can see, but that's it.

    Unless something else pops up we'll just call cela a HARD drive failed after 2 years of common use. Thanks again.

  • Windows XP does not start, I get a blue screen with STOP: 0x0000007E (0 x 0000005, 0 xC0000001, 0xF7AA13D4, 0xF7AA1D0)

    so I used Spybot S & D to get rid of a virus on my computer that I thought was spyware. (basically what made the virus was redirect all my research on google for websites ad). After what's happened, he said I had to reboot my computer so I don't, Spybot run and then asked me a bunch of changes and whether to 'allow' or 'ignore' or 'refuse the change. I don't know if this has caused, but I clicked on 'allow' or 'deny change' for many of them, and then neither firefox nor IE would work because both would be would break whenever I tried to use them.

    so to remedy THIS problem, I tried to use "System Restore" last week when my laptop was working fine, but the system restore everything screwed up my worst computer. Now XP will not boot even upward, and I get a blue screen with the error "STOP: 0x00000007E (0 x 0000005, 0 xC0000001, 0xF7AA13D4, 0xF7AA1D0) ' and its a cycle with no end of restarting but XP never works.

    I tried the safe mode, last good configuration, all these options, known and none got XP to start.

    I am so lost on what to do, can anyone help me?

    Thanks for all your comments

    rdjfdhar,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  If you can try to boot mode safe mode with command prompt, and then run the following commands.

    Chkdsk /r

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265

    sfc/scannow

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310747

    If you cannot start mode safe mode with command prompt, then you need to boot from your XP CD recovery console and run these commands.  Post back with the results.
