Was the PC blue screening during and after the XP re-install, or did it begin when you started adding third party software back on to it.

hi, before i did the original wipe of the comp (ie when i got the pro in) i didnt ever get any blue screen messages and had a lot more software on my system than i do now.

anyway i didnt give it any time to see if blue screen messages came up without any of the software downloads so i cant say for sure whether it works fine with no software on.

anyway the software i have is:
google update, aol 9.0, quicktime, Sonic record now and start my dvd (think part of sonic), Adobe, Mozilla firefox, internet explorer, msn messenger, avg 7.,5 anti virus, peer guardian 2, dvd decrypter, dvd shrink 3.2, vso divx to dvd, real player, ad aware lavasoft, win rar, (divx converter, movie player and movies), vcd gear, azureus and spy doctor.

after going through that last i just realised that there are some i didnt have before the v first wipe of comp. they are:
mozilla firefox, peer guardian 2 (i did have another one similar peer guardian 2 but dont know what it was), dvd shrink 3.2 (although i had that on disk, just wasnt actually downloaded onto comp - i just used to run it from disk), peer guardian 2 and vcd gear. also the azureus i have now is the latest version (3. whatever) whereas previous 2.5 or something like that

i had this problem with my old pc. the problem lies in ur memory, if u ave more then 1 stick of ram, pull 1 out and try it, it error still happens pull the other 1 out and replace it with the first 1 u pulled out, also try it in both slots, i wud 99% guarantee that its ur ram sticks thats doing it

The main reason this happens is due to a corrupted drivers or your boot files. The best solution is to reinstall the windows , otherwise u can try system restore and restore the computer to an older date .

i do not know about you guys but for me i just clean up ram contact point ( gold plated ) with contact cleaner ( or u can just use alcohol ) or worse case change the ram. if u hav 2-3 ram u can swap between ram slot or ram itself. it works every time when i repairing customers pc. just give it a try....expecially if ur pc running winxp

My experience with such issues has taught me that most of the times, the problem occurs due to a faulty device driver. If the users notice, such a problem starts coming after some invalid or faulty shutdown of the system, which we do not notice because of the "No Problem Found" status of the checkdisk utility. But the device drivers may get corrupt due to this and in that case, a windows repair may be the best and the only solution left for you. I hope it helps.

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the delayed response.....

Just wanted you to know that I had turned off AOL spyzapper and anything related to it and the problem has not happened again since. It's been 3 months now.


So if any of you have AOL, turn off this feature (nuisance) and see if it works for you as well. Try disabling it through AOL and also use msconfig.

Hope this helps!
