Blue Screen of Death

[miller]

Right folks, im in a pickle. my PC has just spat its dummy out. im getting the STOP BSoD and text as follows

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

etc etc etc

Technical info

*** STOP: 0x00000024 (0x00190203,0x82FA7070,0x0000102,0x00000000)

I have tried everything possible from the safe mode ie start in safe mode, resetting to earlier safe mode etc. Its telling me to run CHKDSK /F but i cant get anywhere near this even in safe mode.




Im on the laptop at the moment. i need the PC working as i run a small buisness from home. I know there are a few technical guys out there who may know how to rectify this? Or is it an unplug and hand it over to a shop job and pray i get all my info back?

Cheers

Mike the panicked

delete all your porn, then give it a good kick...... sorry, cant be of much more help. :speechles

[miller]

/pan /pan do i have to? how big a kick should i give it? will it boot me back? i could do with some booting as its doin sod all at the mo/Grrr /Grrr /Grrr

[orionn2o]

Does the PC boot?

[Nutter_John]

boot off your xp install disk and you can boot the system into safe mode via that , then run chkdsk on the disk

Another option is to get hold of UBD and runs some of the tools from there ( Ultimate boot disk )

[miller]

its not letting me boot the XP cd-rom either, just saying device not available.

I presume a shop will have UBD and sorth this in a matter of secs? i havent access to any other method of boot?

Try Googling the Stop information - the 0x00000024 part - an excellent free forum is tek-tips.com - always ben amazing with help as the guys there are the top of their computing knowledge.

[miller]

it doesnt help that i havent got the admin password on this pc, thats long gone. oh crap

This is where I'd start. Someone is bound to have had it before.

Unusual that you're not getting more than a code - no message to accompany it? (such as "SOME_SMELLY_ERROR 0 x 00000000000)

[miller]

no it just says

***STOP: 0x000000024 blah blah bloody blah

ive been on tec tips and they keep stating the Run CHKDSK /F...i only wish i could get as far as inputting that!

other option requires floppy disk which i dont possess, can i write the same info to a cd and will it read that?

I think so - you could create a bootable CD, and use that as a startup disc.

[Nutter_John]

turn the system off and leave it off for a few minutes

turn the system on and go into the bios ( f2 or del )

Now can you see all the devices you expect to be there , memory , correct cpu , number of disks , cd/dvd drive

http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ is the site to download the cd from , don't worry about not knowing your admin passwd you don't need it with that

if need talking thru it , let me know and i can talk you thru it step by step over the phone if needed

[HMG1K]

You running XP / 2000...? If so you can go into a diagnositic self repair or auoto repair... I think it is hitting F7 or F8 or F5... Infact thinking of it, it may ven be on the Safe Mode option - there'll be a diagnostic start up option for the PC to self repair itself

[HMG1K]

Windows Recovery Consoul is what it's called!

[HMG1K]

Have a read of this: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=228888&sd=RMVP

[Nutter_John]

Phil see post 5 & 6 where i have suggested the recovery console from CD

Phil see post 5 & 6 where i have suggested the recovery console from CD

Opps! Sorry! my screen hadn't refreshed! /pan :happy:

[miller]

just waiting for the download to complete from ultimate boot, once i have this .exe file i burn it to cd? then i insert during the bios mode and let it run?

cheers for help guys its much appreciated, John ill see how this goes then i may take you up on the offer of help over the phone. cheers

[Nutter_John]

[ANTHONY]

we get it all the time with our panasonic toughbooks, BT have tried a fix but still getting, i think its a software conflict

[miller]

John,


its downloaded, pc is off and cd in hand, will buzz ya in a bit, off my work mob that ends in 335 so ya know its me!

[Nutter_John]

K no probs

[Paul Beazer]

Well?

[psbarham]

we get it all the time with our panasonic toughbooks, BT have tried a fix but still getting, i think its a software conflict
its a software issue on them, are you lot using mau? the amount of software bugs that causes is incredable, i got so annoyed with mine one day i thrashed it with a copy of the star, i spent over an hour hunting for the 'k,t & x' keys that had dispersed themselves around the cab /Grrr

[Beastlee]

An alternative to UBD is Hieren's Boot Disk that I use every day. I'm guessing the problem may be that your BIOS isn't set to boot from CD first. What make is the PC? If it's no particular make do you know what processor you have and does it give you any info on boot-up to determine who makes the motherboard?

[Nutter_John]

the filesystem is shagged , recoverying it now

[Nutter_John]

fixed , system now runs fine , may have lost a file or two but eveything seems ok , have suggested a backup double quick time :D


oh yeah and the amount of porn he has on there is shocking , 250gb of foot fetish porn never seen anything like it :p

[Beastlee]

Ooooh, can we trade ;)

[miller]

ha ha ha ha

[peter thomson]

[Nutter_John]

[Paul Beazer]

Charming, but i was thinking the same thing.
Too general and vague a Q plus only 1 post?!! Begone!

[peter thomson]

Your first reply was straight to the point though:happy:

For now the offending post has been deleted to prevent any phishing.. The questionable links in Sabir's signature have been removed and I have temporarily removed PM ability from this account.

[Paul Beazer]

John, i was being sarky!

Kieran, its about time we had some bannings on here, far too boring!

[Nutter_John]

I know i was taking the pish back ,also re-read and thought maybe he's just a newbie and wasn't a tosser , ah well Captain K man has sorted it

[d i c k i e s]

i get a few of these errors.. try taking out one of the sticks of ram, and just leave one in there... if u got 2. try again booting with xp cd. if u got 1 stick of ram, try to get hold of another stick of ram, or else if that fails... try changing either of the sticks to a new bank. (slot)

[miller]

all sorted now!! thanks John for taking the time to ressurect my machine.

good chat tonight, i could have very easily had another beer, that one went down too easy!

Cheers

Mike

ps how good does that launch control sound.....:pimp2: :pimp2: :pimp2:

[Nutter_John]

Ah yes , the one beer is not enuf syndrome

I also could have had several more , in fact I have one now :D
