Bsod's everywhere, Vista

[Kaorichan2009]

I use my computer everyday and everyday
its:
Page error unusable page (bsod)
Hard disk error (bsod)
A monitor error (bsod)
Usb drive (bsod)
Is it vista? or am i using it wrong?
This computer is getting on my nerves, my moms nerves, and the tech kids i been asking.

BSOD's happen when a driver fails.

Go to C:\WINDOWS\Minidump and put 4 or 5 of your latest minidumps into a zip file and upload it to a new reply in this thread, then I will take a look and see what is failing for you.

 

[Kaorichan2009]

how do you make a zip file?

 

[Daveskater]

If you select the files and right click them, hover Send To... and click "Compressed (zipped) folder"

 

[Kaorichan2009]

No read permission? it wont let me, im admin too. @_@

 

[Daveskater]

That's strange Select the files, right click, click Properties and make sure the Read-only and Hidden boxes are unchecked.

All Vista user accounts are Admin but are slightly restricted. E.g. if you right click on an installer or executable file there will be an option called "Run as administrator"

 

[Kaorichan2009]

Okie dokie! they are unchecked and now properties is stuck on my screen.

 

[Daveskater]

That's even stranger

Click on Advanced next to the Read-only and Hidden boxes and make sure that only the top two boxes are checked.

 

[Kaorichan2009]

they are. I wonder if it has something to do with windows indexer failing. It stopped working and wont repair.

 

[Daveskater]

It could be that something is going wrong with Windows.

Try putting the minidumps into a zip file in Safe Mode (instructions here) DO NOT use the administrator account. Do not start into Safe mode with networking etc, just plain old safe Mode on its own

Then restart back into Normal mode and upload the zip file if it has let you zip the dumps.

 

[Kaorichan2009]

ok it wont boot to safe mode.
it says theres something wrong
I backed up the computer.

 

[Daveskater]

Ok, mate, I think it's time we went with a Windows repair install. It shouldn't delete your personal files but if you've backed them up you can always get them back if it does have to remove any.

Here's some info and instructions of doing a repair install:

i have vista? o-o;

 

[Daveskater]

Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot

There aren't any pictures here but it has a list of instructions:
Windows Vista Startup and Repair

 

[Kaorichan2009]

im afraid to do it @_@

 

[Daveskater]

A Windows repair install only repairs parts of Vista, it almost certainly won't affect your files and you said you've backed up your pc as well so you can restore your data if needed. I'm not sure if any of your settings will be affected, but if any are, it will be few.

 

[Kaorichan2009]

I got the dumps!!! Finally!!
Here they are!!!
there are 4 dumps in it.

 

[Daveskater]

Your minidumps say this:
11/23/07
Probably caused by: SPCA561.SYS
More info here

11/28/07, 12/10/07
Probably caused by: ntkrpamp.exe
More info here

12/11/07
Probably caused by: fwpkclnt.sys
More info here

They all seem to be pretty random files but they're all part of Vista. The first one is for a USB Camera.
The second and third minidumps say BugCheck 50. About all i can find on this is here

a lot of people have experienced blue screens and Bug
Chech 50 on a terminal server with non certified or corrupt printer drivers

The last one says BugCheckD1 and 90% of BugCheck D1 is related to software and 10% is related to faulty ram, so it is morelikely to be a software problem, in this case Vista.

 

[Kaorichan2009]

im thinking its my printer.
I installed it on the 23rd.
it works fine now.
My other usb one is a mp3 player that crashed
One is a Cd Crash
This computer is a dell >> Figures.
Do you think i should wait for another crash.
they seem to happen every week
twice a week.

 

[Daveskater]

Make a note of what you're trying to do when you get a crash, e.g. if you're trying to print something, plug a usb device in etc

 

[Kaorichan2009]

No bluescreen since its been fixed :3 i should be a-ok!

 

[crazyvravy]

Same here BSOd constantly

This occurs at startup; shutdown etc. I thought it was ZA but disabled it at Startup and still occurring. If I start Zone Alarm after the pc is up and running it seems OK. Could this cause the crash ay shutdown? I get:

driver_irql_not_less_or_equal, bad_pool_call or caller etc.

I have attached a .zip with 4-5 of these .dbp files.

HELP!
