Ok. Before I say what my problem is I'll just let you know that I did read everything I had to read and I did go to the various troubleshooting sites and I am using this as an absolute last resort because I haven't found anything else that can help me. I do really appreciate the time you guys spend helping people with similar issues and i wouldn't dream of wasting it.
ok, here we go
Im using a Dell Precision M2300 with the following specs
BIOS Version: A07 (07/10/2008)
CPU: Intel Core2 Duo (ID 06FB) 2.40 GHz
Motherboard:
Ram:
Memory: 4096 MB
Speed: 667 MHz
Pretty sure there is two sticks in there
GPU: (Not sure what this is)
PSU ( I know im not meant to leave this out but Im not sure what this is)
OS: Windows XP Professional SP3
If you need More info just google Dell Precision M2300
(i cant post a link because i dont have enough posts :S sorry )
This is my work laptop.
Everything was working as expected until about 1 hour ago.
I installed Ableton Live 8.01 followed by Reason 4 followed by a trial version of Daemon Tools Lite
After the Daemon Tools Lite installation I had to Re-Boot.
I clicked ok to Re-Boot and iTunes was still running ( it was syncing my ipod) so i closed iTunes and the Re-Boot didnt happen. So i just restarted it myself from the start menu.
Upon re-booting i encountered the first Stop message with the Technical info as follows
****Stop: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x8AFA9AB3, 0xBAD0BB98, 0xBAD0B894)
after seeing this I held the power button down to kill the power. Then i turned the power on again.
I tried the "Use last known good config"
that came up with the same error so i tried safe mode worked.
i logged in and I thought that the problem may have been because of demon tools, so i uninstalled and deleted it.
After logging out and restarting I got the same error when trying to the last good config.
since then the parameters in the stop message have changed to
0X0000007E (0xC0000005, 0X8ADDCAB3, 0XF78E6B98, 0XF7BE6894)
After that i just tried and re tried starting safe mode
at the moment (as i was typing this) safe mode is working.
i logged in and now its asking me if i would like to proceed in safe mode (click yes) or if i would prefer to use System Restore to restore my computer to a previous state (click no)
I must say that I am really keen on a solution where i lose minimal data. As i mentioned before its a work computer. I work in software development and anyone out there who does can vouch for me, It takes SO SO SO SO SO SO long to set up a computer for development. but yeah, obviously im aware that i may have to salvage what i can and re install windows.
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers
