thankschamp...but it is pretty much a fresh install....weird...
I suppose the only way to fix is to re install vista?
Hi Jaskel,
There are many things you can try and you should use some basic
troubleshooting techniques:
- Make sure you have enough disk space.
- If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the
driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates.
- Try changing video adapters.
- Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates.
- Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.
Most BSODs usually occur after the use of faulty hardware or in the
event of failure of installed hardware (usually related to defective
RAM, be it main memory, L2 RAM cache, or video RAM).
Another common cause is the installation of a faulty system service.
Antivirus software can also trigger this error, as can a corrupted NTFS
volume.
If hardware has been added to the system recently, remove it to see if
the error recurs. If existing hardware has failed, remove or replace the
faulty component. You should run hardware diagnostics supplied by the
system manufacturer. For details on these procedures, see the owner's
manual for your computer.
Disable the service and confirm that this resolves the error. If so,
contact the manufacturer of the system service about a possible update.
If the error occurs during system startup, restart your computer, and
press F8 at the character-mode menu that displays the operating system
choices. At the resulting Windows *Advanced Options* menu, choose the
*Last Known Good Configuration* option. This option is most effective
when only one driver or service is added at a time.
-Try- Disable some programs and confirm that this resolves the error.
If it does, contact the manufacturer of the program about a possible
update.
Run *Chkdsk /f /r* to detect and repair disk errors. You must restart
the system before the disk scan begins on a system partition. If the
hard disk is SCSI, check for problems between the SCSI controller and
the disk.
Finally, check the System Log in Event Viewer for additional error
messages that might help pinpoint the device or driver that is causing
the error. Disabling memory caching of the BIOS might also resolve it.
