Hi,

The details of the blue screen are crucial to identifying the problem. Error codes, parameters, and any modules involved can all provide clues. Check the event log for details and post them.

The second "crash" sounds more like a hardware freeze, not an operating system issue but rather a problem component. Could also be related to overheating.

Hi,

My vista crashed 2 times today. This is probably the first time since december 2007 when I bought my laptop with Vista. I know the usual question would be to check if I installed some new drivers or any hardware device but thats not the case as far as I know. Its a Vista Ultimate system, with a cor 2 duo 2.ghz, 2gb ram, wifi etc. The first time it crashed today was with a blue screen with the usual bsod stuff printed on it (I know it can be different stuff written there but right now I dont know the exact stuff other than 'check for new hardware installation' msg). i was running visual studio 2005 doing asp.net development with it. The second time when it crashed it hanged and the computer made one beep sound, but no bsod, the computer just didnt reply, and here also I was debugging something in asp.net in vs 2k5.

Is there any software that that provide me some information that may help me find out exactly whats wrong? Some internal diagnostic software that maybe ships with vista?

regards.



event log is so huge, there r enteries about every second ! And search was taking time. I will search for more, but after the second crash the following was displayed when i logged in:

The WER* files are not at there mentioned place, but the dump file is there. I remember reading someone's blog that the dump file can be opened with windbg ?

In the meanwhile the system crashed one more time with blue screen.
