Question about Blue-Screen-of-Death?
84357
Most of the time this happens in regular mode and not safe mode, it is a problem with a driver.\n\nGo to safe mode, and do a rollback on your video driver.  That is the most common culperet.  If that is not it, try your other drivers.\n\nYou can also try useing the "Last Known Good" setting, and that will hopefully roll your computer back to before this problem happened.

My best guess is a dead hard drive.  Does the computer make it past the Post (power on self test) screen.  Does it attempt to load Windows, does the clicking start with HD access or does it start as soon as you turn the PC on.  Is anything displayed on the screen at all... until the clicking starts.  If your computer makes it past Post then I'm going with my initial gut feeling that your hard drive died on you.\n\nOf course, I've never had a motherboard short out on me so I have no idea what that would sound like... but it could be, I couldn't say.  Once again, this is one of these catch all problems where just about anything mechanical or electronic could be causing the noise.\n\nWell, since nothing works, this is going to be hard to diagnose.  Best guess is still a hard drive but now I'm going to toss in the processor, memory, GPU and well, any other hardware in your system.  Start removing components one by one and see what happens, save for the processor, I've never tried to boot a system without a processor but my guess is nothing will happen.  If that doesn't work, you're right back at square one.  Here's an idea, take your hard drive out, plug it into another computer as a slave and see if it at least works, don't do anything to it, just see if it is recognized, if it is, not the hard drive.  If you can rule out the hard drive you are looking at a dead motherboard and/or processor which will have to be replaced at least.  If the motherboard is fried, you'll have to check the other components to see what is good and what is not.

It highly depends on the type of virus.  Ranging from a mere trojan to a biobomb what you may have to do varies.\n\nIf its a trojan get an antivirus like avast and run it then get a decent firewall and install that to help prevent future occurences.\n\nIf its really bad and your comp starts with a blue screen or worse wont start at all.  You could need to either wipe your bios, your harddrive, or worst of all buy a new motherboard.\n\nHope its the former.

I used to have a Toshiba and it crashed and nobody can fix it. My suggestion: dump it and get a Gateway.

What you are seeing is probably a blue screen of death (BSOD). There are many causes of it, mostly hardware problems. I cannot tell you the exact cause until you provide more information about any recent changes to your computer ( hardware upgrades etc). It may indicate a broken driver or a failing PC component.

The drive is bad. Bring it back before you waste anymore time trying to fix it. I had one go bad like that after it had worked for a while. I took it apart to fix it, but there wasn't anything wrong with it mechanically. Something electronic had gone bad. It's not your install or your software - it's the drive.

Of course....every time i think BSOD , this picture comes to mind: http://alvania.net/gallery/main.php/d/699-2/bsod.jpg . Some luck eh?

It seems that your MBR (Master Boot Record) is wiped out and thats why it doesn't recognise the presence of the Operating System.\n\nTry repairing Windows from the CD\n\nIf this doesn't work, then try going through the Setup process normally, choose to leave partition intact [DO NOT FORMAT], and after the blue screen is over, remove the Installation Media and press F8 before Windows starts loading, choose "Safe Mode Command Prompt Only", then type in "Win"\n\n\nPS: I tried something similar, but in a different scenario, so, if you are a risk taker, try it, otheriwse, might have to install a fresh copy of Windows...\n\n\nGood Luck...

Is the computer on standby? If it is then you should shutdown the computer instead. \n\nRun an antivirus program on your computer to see if a virus may be the cause as well. Also check to see if you have had any recent errors, like driver conflicts or "the blue screen of death". That could also be a cause.

The only way to know for sure is to test it on another motherboard. Short of a lightening strike or big power surge or short in the motherboard that would have caused smoke to come out... I just don't think all of it could fail. Was the processor actually tested, or was it just a guess?

Hi Niks here,\nIf u have many errors then plz specify any one error. ok thats no problem if u r facing the errors related to hardware then install the drivers properly for that component and if u r facing problem related to OS then just repair it by inserting the setup cd if u r facing the problem related to HDD then run the scandisk to resolve the problem, and if u still facing the problems then just mail me on nikskuku@gmail with u r specific problem ok thanks.

This could be hard drive errors. Try this first:\n\nPower on the computer, after the bios test press the "CTL" key multiple times to enter the diagnostic screen. Select exit to dos prompt. Run scandisk by typing scandisk at the prompt and press enter. Reboot after it completes

could be\n\nA. Power Surge!!\n\nB. Processor Over Kill\n\nC. Poor Wiring/Connectors\n\nD. Substandard Equipments\n\nE. Bad power Supply\n\ncould be any of this

I need more info.\nDo you ever see the Windows logo? If so then there is probably something wrong w/ the windows files. Trying tapping F8 during bootup and select "safe mode"\n\nDo you just get the HP logo? Then it's something hardware related. And that could be almost anything. Did you change anything else besides the hard drive?\nThis board also seems pretty old, so it might just be dead.

Yes, I've seen that many times... I think your computer is not able to handle Yahoo Messenger... Try to reinstall it...\nHowever, remove it in Safe Mode... Then restart, then install in Normal mode... If it continues, something is really screwed up with your system... \n\nWell, it's in the lowest level of binary to CPU communication so there isn't much to do... \n\nAlso, that blue screen is called the classic:\n\n\n"BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH"!!!\n\nAlso, try to change the settings when you are installing YAHOO MESSENGER\n\n\nKeehun Nam\nknvb1123@gmail.com
