I need help, please! I keep getting a blue screen with a physical memory
dump. After restarting, I sometimes get a black screen with a countdown to
start Window normally. It usually does. But this all points to trouble!
When logging back on, I get the Critical Error/Send Report option, which I
do. I’ve gotten several different reasons for the crash, though, so I have
no idea where to begin! I’d like to keep this computer about another year,
so I’m trying to work it out rather than trash it and buy a new hard drive.
I’ve gotten an unknown driver error message (remove any new soft/hardware),
another one I’m forgetting off-hand right now (my brain is fried from dealing
with this) and the most recent was “Error caused by a video device driver.â€
I installed a Sony CD-burner internally recently. I have a new router
hooked up, and a few new software programs (Nero with the CD burner, Malware
Killer, a new mouse), but I have no idea if any of these are related or if
it’s something else entirely.
Is there a way I can scan to find out what’s going on? I cleaned up my
registry, I run virus protection and clean-up regularly. I just want to
de-bug my WinXP and get it to hold out for another year or so. HELP—I have
no idea where to even start. Thanks!
