Bsod

[Frac]

heyy i keep getting the bsod
it gets to the xp loading screen the it freezes and it flashes a blue screen at me and then restarts
and i dont no the code ethier
i carnt get into my desktop or thing

Try pressing F8 repeatively on Windows startup, until you see the Safe mode options screen

In that area you have "Last known good configuration" which you could try
If that doesn't work, try: "Safe Mode"

If you get in via Safe Mode
Go to Start-->Control Panel-->Syste-->Advanced- Settings (under Start and Recovery)
And then untick, "Automatic restart"
Apply OK OK

Then restart

 

[Frac]

yer i have done that it wont start up in safe mode

 

[kimsland]

Put the Xp CD in and boot from it
Go to the first R prompt
Select the Administrator account by pressing 1
Then select enter

Once on the recovery screen type:

chkdsk c: /r
(note: there is a space before the /r)

Once Check Disk has finished repairing any faults
Type exit to restart

Test again

 

[Frac]

yer im doing that now its a 66% after about 2 hours

 

[kimsland]

So far normal

Well it is a tad extreme, but I'd continue until it finishes
If you feel this is taking too long (possibly already)
Then you could run Memtest on your Ram (7 passes or 4 hrs test required)
Or a Drive Diagnostics on your HardDrive.

It may also be beneficial to load cmos defaults, and remove all not required externals (mostly extra USB things plugged in).

 

[Frac]

umm i cant get into my desktop or anything im on a laptop atm
so i cant run a memtest or hdd test
chkdsk 71%

chkdsk went from 75% to 56% WTF!

 

[kimsland]

Still normal

But the links I supplied are to create a bootable CD to test your Ram (and HardDrive)
But maybe just wait for cd to finish

 

[Frac]

YES i can start it up in safe mode

 

[kimsland]

Please back up immediately to USB flash or DVD
The Hard Drive could still be faulty

 

[Frac]

umm u no of any good prog to back up my hdd
and so i can spilt it in to many dvds

 

[kimsland]

Yes

another HardDrive ! (Which will probably get E: (after the D drive DVD)

 

[Frac]

ummm thats a problem i dont have another 1 and its nearly 11pm ova here

 

[kimsland]

Hmm

Well lets just say I've seen this before
And in about 1 out of every 3 the HardDrive fails on restart (So then...)

Maybe forget all that big stuff, and get the non replacable documents and things
(here we go 10 gig of personal pics no doubt!)

 

[Frac]

yer i spose thanks for all the help so if i keep getting the bsod when i boot the comp
wat shood i do then?

 

[kimsland]

If you get in via Safe Mode
Go to Start-->Control Panel-->System-->Advanced- Settings (under Start and Recovery)
And then untick, "Automatic restart"
Apply OK OK

Then restart

You may also receive a MiniDump in c:\windows\minidump folder that you can attach (for me to test)
But I already assume it's going to say bad memory (on HardDrive or Ram)

 

[Frac]

minidump file

here it is

 

[kimsland]

Inside the 2 MiniDumps:

BugCheck 1000008E, {c0000005, bfa7a324, ef9f6960, 0}
Probably caused by : vtdisp.dll

BugCheck 10000050, {e401bbb0, 0, bfa70c36, 1}
Probably caused by : vtdisp.dll

Vtdisp.dll: VIA/S3G Graphics Driver

Please uninstall your graphics driver and download and install the newest version from your manufactures website

 

[Frac]

....

i dont use that any more i got a new vid card

 

[kimsland]

Your system is definately using it !

 

[Frac]

......

so do i just uninstall it?
or uninstall and download the driver for it

 

[kimsland]

This thread keeps changeing, but I'll continue

It's strange but when you add another video card say PCI-Express you still require the onboard drivers (for your old video) Otherwise your new driver setup will say no card found !

But once the card is installed you then don't require the old onboard drivers any longer.

So try this
Search for Vtdisp.dll, and rename it to Vtdisp.old
This file may be in use, so it may need to be done in Safe mode

 

[Frac]

vtdisp

ok i renamed it ok now shood i have the bsod? when i boot?

 

[kimsland]

for that file (as long as there are no more copies) it's not possible

 

[Frac]

thanks

thanks for all the help ill reply if i have any more trouble
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
