Re: Fix for XP crashes valid? (Works in Safe Mode)

My theory is that if I remove every program one by one that this will
tell me which app is causing the crash problem. Is this a valid logic

It could be hardware related. A driver might need updating.

My pc is crashing in normal mode. It works fine in SAFE mode all day
long. Can't find a stop code using the event logger that tells me
anything useful, using msconfig to limit what apps start hasn't helped.


My theory is that if I remove every program one by one that this will
tell me which app is causing the crash problem. Is this a valid logic
OR is it possible that it's not an installed program causing the
crashes and it's really something inherent to XP that's causing the
crash? (Even though SAFE mode works fine.)

In my (not expert) mind if SAFE mode works then the problem may not be
with XP itself but in one of the programs. Is my theory valid?

I'm mostly concerned because I don't know what caused this problem so
it could well just happen again! (After I possibly reinstall
everything.) Errr..!

Thanks,
Chet
