Re: Boot Problems

I have a thought about Network services and drivers. If you boot in Safe Mode an Error Report like so is produced. Note the Event ID is 7026 as this detail will help you find your own Report n the System log in Event Viewer.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7026
Date: 07/01/2007
Time: 13:20:20
User: N/A
Computer: GERALD-SKQPK3W8
Description:
The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
AFD
Avg7Core
Avg7RsW
Avg7RsXP
BANTExt
Fips
intelppm
IPSec
MRxSmb
NetBIOS
NetBT
RasAcd
Rdbss
Tcpip

As starting Safe Mode with Networking Support requires additional drivers then one or more of these drivers will be required so it is possible that it is one of the listed drivers that is causing your problem. Post a copy of the corresponding report generated on your machine when you boot in Safe Mode ( not Safe Mode with Networking Support ). It is unlikely that the corresponding Report will not be generated if you try to boot in Safe Mode with Networking Support because the Stop Error will prevent the further creation of Error Reports.

Here is the BSOD error message I receive when I boot up any way other
that Safe Mode:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screem,
restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these
steps:

Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is
identified in the Stop 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. If you need
to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your
computer, press F8 to select Advance Startup Options, and then
select Safe Mode.

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005,0xF5CDD4D0,0xF7C45FC8,0xF7C45CC4)

That's it...any clue?

The direct amswer to your question is I have no idea!

What you do is your prerogative but if you do not post copies of
error reports I fail to see how I can help. Error reportsare often
ambiguous, being open to more than one interpretation. Equally they
they can open up many avenues of enquiry which are not always
obvious.
