Well Today When i go to start up my computer i get a blue screen saying physical memory dump at the start up, and it crashs after a second or two of showing the blue screen. I switch ram and it does the same thing. So i pop in my windows cd and try to format and reinstall. AT around 90% of copying the files to the harddrive it says it cannot copy soandso file, and keeps sayin that to each file after then proceeds to a blue screen..

I thought it might be the harddrive so i switch to another and tried to reinstall windows and still the same thing... I also tried to do this with another windows cd and still the same thing...

Whats going on here? Is the bios corrupted? What do i do..

Start ruling things out. Is there another computer you could try the disk on? If it works then, you have eliminated the disk as a possible problem. Keep eliminating things it could be and that will lead you to what is causing the problem. Hope this helps.

There could be multiple rerasons the obivious ones are
corupt media(try the media in another system if possible)
RAM problem(try Memorytest86 available in free downloads in this site)

if these dont solve the problem then come and post again.
welcome to techspot

When Windows crashes with blue screen, it writes a system event 1001 and a minidump to the folder \windows\minidump. Check system event 1001 and it has the content of the blue screen

Control Panel -> Adminstrative Tools -> Event Viewer -> System -> Event 1001. Copy the content and paste it back here

Your symptom is probably related to faulty ram. If you Zip 5 to 6 minidumps and attach the zip files here, I will study the dump and find out the culprit.

I copy the content from the evenview:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x10000050 (0xff59334d, 0x00000000, 0x804d749a, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini070705-03.dmp.

And I wonder how to browse the dmp file in the MiniDump folder.

Thanks.

if convenient, send the result to william_zhang_ppt@hotmail.com

The culprit is either Symantec Norton AV or TdiUpdate.

The timestamps of the SYMEVNET and NavEx15 are at different level. Maybe you screw up the Norton AV. Re-install Norton AV may resolve your problem.

I have had the same 3ghz HP 512mb ram, XP, 55gb hd laptop for 2.5 years and always used the same programs on it and never loaded new hardware. No problems with it...

Now all the sudden I am getting the bsod way too often. I reseated the ram and hd. Did the memory checks, no problems found. No viruses, or spyware found.

I went as far as reformatting my hd and reinstalling xp, then updating it.
And that's it. No other programs loaded. Guess what, still getting odd bsod. I get a bsod at the oddest times. Surfing regular msn websites, etc. And sometimes when doing nothing at all.

When I send out the error report to Microsoft, sometimes I get the reply that it's probably a bad driver and to check any new software or hardware that I've added. Only thing I've added was window updates.

If someone would please take some time to review my dmp files for me and post an answer here. It would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance for helping me and everyone else who might read your reply post.

Hi William,
Your latest dump also crashes at TdiUodate.sys

BugCheck 10000050, {fee0491d, 0, 804da486, 0}
Probably caused by : TdiUpdate.sys ( TdiUpdate+8bf )

TdiUpdate maybe a virus. Refer the following url
