win home laptop bootloop (bsod flashes to fast to read)

Hello people

My buddy just called me to ask a question, I know i've seen the answer here
but can't find

apparently a neighbor kid was looking at one of those wonderfull
pop pop pop pop pop pop pop up web sites

This is a laptop for business running win home

boot > bsod (to quick to read) > reboot
system stuck in loop

Computer will start in safe mode but notlast good config
my advice was to change mini-dump to fullmem dmp (if not
for debug purposes than at least to slow the blue screen down
to read)

my computer>properties>advanced>settings for startup and recovery>

This did nothing
i asked for a copy of tthe mini dump but there wasn't one

It appears, what ever is wrong reboots before the bsod is recognized



any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks steyr223 :hotbounce

Start in safe mode and then have a look in the event logs.

You don't need a quick eye to view the content of blue screen. When Windows crashes with blue screen, it writes a system event 1001 or 1003 and a minidump to the folder \windows\minidump. Check system event 1001 and 1003 and it has the content of the blue screen.

Event ID: 1001
Source: Save Dump
Description:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.The bugcheck was : 0xc000000a (0xe1270188, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804032100).
Microsoft Windows..... A dump was saved in: .......


Event Source: System Error
Event Category: (102)
Event ID: 1003
Description:
Error code 1000007f, parameter1 0000000d, parameter2 00000000, parameter3 00000000, parameter4 00000000

Control Panel -> Adminstrative Tools -> Event Viewer -> System -> Event 1001/1003. Copy the content and paste it back here

Zip 5 to 6 minidumps to one zip file and attach it here. Techspot has an upper limit of 100K per attachment. I will study the dump and find out the culprit.

hello thanks for the replys
sorry i take so long

went to court today to see my girl (in custody)
wouldn't believe who sat next to me --- her old man
we had lunch

now i can spend a little more time here

I had asked my friend to look up the newest file in the minidmp folder
and there had not been one written for a few days

so i believe it's rebooting before the event is written
what is the order (before and after) of the writing a bsod event

thanks
