Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

So my cousin's laptop has been crashing, quite frequently, except when booted up in safe mode. It has crashed prior to the xp login screen, and afterwards also. It gives the exact same memory address. Should I assume this is then a hardware error? I haven't had time to run memtest86 to check, but should I just reformat, see if that works then try hardware troubleshooting?

I'd try memtest before reformatting... its less effort/time wasted. It could be bad memory, a failing sector of the hard drive, or poorly installed/incompatible drivers effing up the real windows install (stuff that isn't loaded when safe mode is run).

Recently a Device was installed/updated on the laptop and the driver for this device is causing the bluescreen.
Safe Mode doesnt make it easy to Uninstall/rollback however.
I have to assume at some point while booting you hit F8 and tried the choice that says
"use last known good configuration".
Memory could be the issue also.
Not an easy one to troubleshoot tho
good luck!
