uberprinnyakatux Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Grab a copy of this, http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp, or memtest86 run that see if it is your memory, also press t to do a thorough test. Also can you replicate the BSOD in any way? You may want to consider reinstalling windows if the memory test comes up clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digip Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Could be a driver but usually the error code tells you what it is. You can google for the hex code or check the microsoft technet sites for similar problems. Is this a new machine? New OS? WHat are you running, because it seems you don't even know based on what you wrote. Os:windows xp pro maybe win 7 pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZEHELL Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 its running xp pro but am thinking on getting win 7 pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) If you do go Win 7 pro, upgarde to a minimum of 4GB ram. It can run with the 2GB you have, but you won't be having the best experience on a system like that.

Infiltrator Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Before you try reinstalling the OS again, I would suggest to disconnect all the cables inside the case and only connect the ones that are important. For example, if you have more than one hard drive only use one that you are going to install the OS on. Secondly, don't occupy all the ram slots just install 2 modules for the time being. Thirdly, if you have any expansion cards (eg sound, tv tuner) remove them and only leave the important one eg Graphics card. Make sure all power cords are properly connected to the connectors on the board. Make sure the CPU fan is spinning and nothing is obstructing its blades. Reset the bios by removing the battery from the socket on the motherboard, switch on the computer for 5 seconds, then power it down and back up again with the battery on the socket. Re-enter the bios. Adjust only the important settings, like Time, boot sequence (1. CD-rom, 2. Hard-drive), save and exit the bios. If you are still getting blue screen, try replacing the sata cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
