Re: crcdsk.sys failure to boot and blue screen when loading windows for first time



Most of the time this has been related to the video card. If you have access to an old video card you should put it in just for the install or in your case for the boot. You indicate you did get up once. You may be lucky and still be able to use the last known good to get on. The first thing you always need to do after you boot up is to change the default in system properties to not automatically reboot. This allows the system to freeze on the blue screen and you can get diagnostic data.

Hello Everybody,

I have the famous crcdsk.sys issue. I recently departitioned my Hard
Drive and then repartitioned it and formatted. I reinstalled windows
VISA Home Premium and it will not finish the installation process. When
it's suppose to be starting for the first time it all of a sudden blue
screens and restarts. The blue screen and restart happens so fast so I
can't see what error code its sending out. I tried to load safe mode
and thats when I said the system crashed when loading the crcdsk.sys
file! [image: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/emoticons/emotion-6.gif]
I have replaced hard drive and tried a different vista dvd to install
the OS and still same problem. I called my computer manufacturer for
assistance they they were no help AT ALL. They are couriering me a new
HD, RAM, and Vista CD and said try that. [image:

Could somebody please help me. I have googled this topic for days and
everybody has this problem or a variation of it but no resolutions are
posted. I managed to get into vista 1 time randomly when after i
restore the bios settings to default... but then never again did it work
even if i restore the default settings.

From what I learned so far it seems to be a driver related issue.. I
believe vista during its setup is trying to install some sort of driver
for something and its causing the blue screen. I have no clue what
driver or what the hardware piece is that is causing the crash. Any
suggestions .. please help... it been a week and my laptop has become an
overpriced door stop.

_SYSTEM_SPECS:_
Dell XPS M1730
Core 2 Duo T9500 2.6ghz
4GB Ram 667mhz
200gb Seagate HD 7200rpm
Vista Home Premium 32bit
8800M GTX SLI


Thank you,
