Re: Blue Screen Crashes on XP install

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Gerry,

My original help request indicated that I'd tried a repair via recovery
console then a repair of existing windows install via recovery CD. In both
cases got blue screen of death and stop codes as specified.

Have you tried sfc / scannow in Safe Mode?>

*** Tried but it wouldn't run (?). From run line, cmd window flashes up
but
thats it. Opened cmd window and tried from there. Get the message ....

"Windows File Protection could not initiate a scan of protected sysyem
files.
The specific error code is 0x000006ba [The RPC server is unavailble]"

Have you tried running Spybot or another anti-spyware programme in safe
mode?

*** I've run Lavasoft Adware and Microsoft Defender in Normal and Safe
Modes
without problem. I've just tried to run Spybot in Safe mode and get stop
error 0x0A IRQL_Not_Less_or_Equal

Does your oldest System Restore Point predate the problem?

*** No. Unfortunately System restore has been turned off since troubles
began

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on
the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties. Hardware,
Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

*** Found exclamation mark associated with Graphic Display (NVIDIA
GeForce4
MX440). Device Status indicated the dievice cannot be started (Error 10).
I
unistalled, rebooted set to search internet and re-installed new driver.
Device Manager now shows "clean" no question or exclamation marks.

Try Start, Run, type "sigverif.exe" without quotes and hit OK. What
drivers
are listed as unsigned? Disregard those which are not checked.

*** Program run and all files have been scanned and verified as digitally
signed.

*** I updated graphics driver first, checked system restore point, then
ran
sigverifier before booting into safe mode to run try and run sfc and
spybot


Hope this helps.
