This happens to me sometimes. I’ll be playing a game and have a few programs running in the background. If I open up 1 more program too many the whole thing crashes down and I get this message: http://anticrashassistantreview.com/wp-content/uploads/bsod.gif

Of course I didn’t know how to take a screen shot while it was like this so… I took that link off the web. But what is this? I believe it’s the BlueScreen of death. How do I fix this?

Here’s the error message I got: http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b405/Corey_Millsom/Help-1.jpg
Here is my Computer info: http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b405/Corey_Millsom/Help.jpg

If that helps… How do I fix this?

Best reply by VistaHacker:

Well, you have a nice computer. I would have said not enough RAM, but you have as much RAM as your system will recognize. Try this.

Click START.

type “memory” without the quotes.
Click Windows Memory diagnostic.
Run this. You may need to restart to do this.
If it comes up saying that you have failed or faulty memory or something similar, then you may need to take it back for a replacement. (If it’s still under warranty.)

Otherwise I can’t help you much.

Hope this helped!

Best reply by Computa Guy:

Sounds like you have faulty RAM in the PC some where it could be the graphics card or the RAM in the PC. IF the PC has on board graphics I’d remove your card and if it has 2 or more RAM stick remove them so only one then try reinstall XP if that works one of the RAM stick is faulty or the graphics card is, so add them back one at a time till it crashes then you will now what part. My tech team and I can help lots with PC stuff it would be great if you could ask any PC questions you have here so we can discuss it properly http://www.mypcmates.com

Nominated for six Academy Awards, and winner of Best Picture, Crash is more than deserving of the critical acclaim surrounding its release. Probing the deepest recesses of racism, prejudice, and discrimination in modern day America, the film forces viewers to examine their own tendencies to create and foster stereotypes. More importantly, it does so in a way that doesn’t accuse, blame, or pursue a political agenda. In fact, Crash even touches on the shortcomings of political correctness and how some people have allowed outside perceptions to affect personal judgment, often to their own detriment. Written and directed by Paul Haggis, author of the Million Dollar Baby screenplay, Crash is a thoughtful piece of social commentary wrapped in a storyline ripe with conflict and suspense.

Crash follows numerous characters living in and around Los Angeles as they deal with racial perceptions, prejudices, and stereotypes in their daily lives. Jean Cabot (Sandra Bullock) struggles with her inability to trust her own instincts following a car-jacking which leaves her teetering on the brink of a mental breakdown. Meanwhile, police officer John Ryan (Matt Dillon) harasses African-Americans as a result of the prejudices he developed following his father’s bankruptcy years ago. Lucien (Dato Bakhtadze) and his wife Elizabeth (Karina Arroyave) find their own biases and self-perceptions erupting to the surface of their marriage following a traumatic encounter with Officer Ryan. The consequences of Ryan’s hatred have a rippling effect, a theme which is repeated in countless other social exchanges between store owners, locksmiths, detectives, and hockey enthusiasts. In short, Crash sets out to jar its audience into recognition of the enormous consequences of racial prejudice, no matter how “minor” we may believe those attitudes may be.

The cast of Crash is superb. Don Cheadle completes his graduation from the front desk of The Golden Girls spin-off Golden Palace by turning in a second blockbuster performance within a matter of months (Hotel Rwanda would be the other). Like other characters from the film, Cheadle’s Graham is unable to fully develop due to time constraints, yet he manages to come across as a sympathetic and flawed character. The same can be said of Matt Dillon’s portrayal of Officer John Ryan. He isn’t a mere hatemonger skinhead, but rather a caring individual who developed detrimental prejudice based on past events from his childhood. In the end, like many of the film’s characters, the audience gets a glimpse of his good side.

Overall, Crash is an excellent film that lives up to the notoriety and hype. For the typical viewer, it will evoke myriad emotions – hatred of racism, loathing of man’s inhumanity to man, empathy, self-reflection, and an awareness of how one’s own prejudices may affect others. Paul Haggis brilliantly illustrates the consequences of widespread attitudes harboring racist, prejudicial, discriminatory, and stereotypical overtones. He does so without pointing fingers or assigning blame. Everyone is guilty; no race, gender, class, or ideology is spared. Crash also probes the depths of American prejudice by addressing the unintended consequences of both affirmative action and political-correctness. It’s this reluctance to strictly adhere to an ideological agenda that empowers Crash with its universal appeal. By not being preachy, the film is better able to relate its themes to viewers from every type of background and perspective. It’s an entertaining film. Hopefully, it also makes each us think twice about the way in which we relate to our fellow man. If so, then Crash is more than just a film; it’s a world-changing experience.

Wearing really short skirts can be a liberating experience for the modern woman unless there’s a couple of cellulite lines peaking through.

This is perhaps one of the greatest sources of frustration for women around the world. And though there are creams and surgical procedures that promise to remove those pesky lines, there is still no sure-fire way to remove all of them.

What is cellulite?

Cellulites are fat tissues that have bands of connective tissues in them. These tissues are found in certain areas of the body: the thighs, abdominal area and buttocks for the women. Men have cellulites in the neck and in the abdomen. Often, they are whiter or several shades lighter than their skin tones.

When proper circulation occurs, smooth layers ensue; but when fluids in the layers, the stored fats, and chemical toxins do not get flushed out and are trapped within the skin, the tissues harden and thicken, thus producing bumpy lines in the skin. Although all people have basically the same smooth layers of cellulite, the resulting appearance will depend upon genetics, the lifestyle of the person and the weight of the individual, which are all factors in the cellulite formation.

There are different types of cellulites. One kind occurs in the muscles of active women such as those who are dancers and runners. The hard or solid cellulites are hard to remove as they are attached directly to the muscles. Soft cellulites on the other hand are much more visible and may even sag from the body. And though it occurs in large muscle areas, they are easy to remove.

Unfortunately, women are the frequent victims of cellulite problems. The problem can start when they are as young as 14 years old and as they mature, the affected areas become larger. Women who are on birth control pills and those who had just given birth are also more susceptible. People who have suffered from injuries can also develop cellulites.

Treatment procedures

Cellulite creams available in the market have proven to be effective in preventing the appearance of cellulites but they cannot completely eradicate the tissues. These creams that contain alpha-hydroxyl acids do not actually remove the cellulites but rather improves the elasticity of the skin, thus making the cellulites less obvious.

Exercise and diet is still, without a doubt, the best way to fight the cellulites. Women (and men) should also make it a point to find time to relax and go to spas body pampering. Exercise is particularly effective because circulation can help reduce the appearance of the cellulites.

Detoxifying diet should also be practiced. The diet should include plenty of fruits and vegetables. Whole grain foods are also greatly recommended. Foods that should be avoided include coffee and soft drinks. Some say that spicy foods also contribute much in the appearance of cellulites but nothing much have been proven yet. Cigarette smoking and drinking alcohol should also be avoided as they can help in the build-up of toxins in the body.

Although a low-fat diet is not necessary, some experts recommend reducing the consumption of fatty foods as these are harder to digest and to get rid of. Fats also contribute in enlargening the size of the cellulites.

Water therapy is also effective in helping make cellulites become less visible as it washes off toxins in the body as well as removes fats. It also aids in proper digestion and blood circulation.

Forecasts of doom and gloom in the property market have not been in short supply of late, both for the residential and buy-to-let sectors. This week has been no exception, but such views are far from universally held.

Only today another gloomy prediction emerged. Economic consultancy Capital Economics predicted that Britain was about to see a two-year fall in house prices, with a five per cent fall this year and an eight per cent decline in 2009, finance website Moneyextra reports.

Such pessimism, however, has been countered by surveyors CB Richard Ellis. Far from taking a negative view of the property market, the firm predicts a soft landing for the property market, with prices rising by three per cent this year.

Head of residential research Jennet Siebrits said: “This is not a repeat of the 1990s crash, as housing equity and employment rates are at an all-time high and interest rates remain low,” reports the Daily Telegraph.

“With the benign economic backdrop and unique nature of the housing market, we do not envisage forced sales and repossessions spiralling. Instead, we expect a think market in 2008 with lower levels of transactions,” she added.

The company’s synopsis is straightforward: the housing market goes through cycles and after a successful one it is now going through a gradual and inevitable correction, with only those over-reacting predicting it will develop into a crash. Or, as the Guardian reported Ms Siebrits as saying: “Don’t panic, it’s a slowdown, not a crash.”

In addition to this, Ms Siebrits told the paper, buy-to-let’s future was also good, because of the long-term view most investors take. She said: “A mass exodus is unlikely as these investors tend to have a longer-term view of the market. Within ten years of the 1990s crash, prices were 30 per cent higher than the peak of boom.”

Of course, such views had already been expressed this week by Ian Perry of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics), who said that the present underlying economic scene was “vastly different” to that of the early 1990′s. “Supply would have to loosen considerably before prices experience a significant dip,” he added.

Yet the context of the comments was that of Rics reporting the highest majority of surveyors reporting a fall in house prices over those reporting a rise last month since 1992. This fact could be interpreted as a clear sign of bad times ahead; more so if Mr Perry’s words are ignored or if one chooses to put more stress on his warning that there would be problems ahead if the Bank of England did not cut interest rates.

Thus the divergence between views may have something to do with the extent to which one wishes to see the bigger picture. Indeed there may be a bad future for the housing market if interest rates do not fall. But after today’s government figures for retail sales in December showed a slowdown economists such as Ian Kernohan of Royal London Asset Management and Vicky Redwood of Capital Economics have gone on the record to forecast that a 0.25 per cent cut next month is the least that can be expected. For all the potential things which could go wrong, those such as Mr Perry and Ms Siebrits have been keen this week to state that such worst-case scenarios are still much less likely than some imagine.

There is one thing I have learned after a week of fulltime crash course on SEO – It is very easy to learn but it takes a lot of work.

Last June the first Philippine SEO Contest was announced to the public and the contest was open to everyone, both SEO experts and amateurs. More than 70 entries were submitted and the contest will end on September 29th. The winners will be determined by the Google Philippines Search Engine Results Page.

All contestants did everything they can to get it to the top. Both White Hat and Black Hat SEO techniques are involved in the contest and the SEO community

Aaron Wall made a comment on this SEO Contests with regards to comment spamming and this raised a concern with the rest of the SEO community worldwide. Somehow this contest is becoming to look like spamming contest to some and the contestants are now changing their strategy to prevent their site from being eventually banned.

So what does it take to be on the top spot? Below are the general SEO techniques most of the contestants have done for the first month of this competition.

1. On-Page Optimization – The entry sites are being designed to make it as Google friendly as possible. Good Site Navigation, 5 to 7% Keyword Density, inserting Meta Tags, using Google Site Maps and implementing Google Adwords are among the most common techniques being implemented on these sites. Many are using WordPress because it is easy to build and it is known to be SEO friendly.

2. Link Building – The entry sites are submitted on almost all forums, blogs and directories out there. Even though some sites are totally unrelated to the entry site, many are still linking their sites there because of the site’s high Google PageRank and Backlinks is the Google’s top priority in ranking websites.

3. Articles – Articles are submitted to feeders and article sites. Some have violated copyright laws by using articles made by other people and made it as their own. Many SEO’s agree that article writing helps the site’s ranking a lot and many have submitted several articles just to get their site noticed.

4. Black Hat – Unfortunately, black hat techniques are being used. Spam blogging, duplicate sites and other unfriendly techniques are being used to get their site to the top. I could not blame them because most of the

SEO contestants have no actual experience in SEO before this contest and they are still learning the difference between ethical and unethical SEO.

In the end, only Google-friendly sites will remain on the top spot and black hatters will most likely be banned in Google in the awards night.

So what is the lesson here? For the 30 days, I have learned that SEO is not very hard to learn, but for a site to be on the top spot, it would need a lot of work and it takes time.

Here are another seven signs of|620020d8b2fca294d56fc5ffd4bc1207 drive failure. If your hard drive is having any of these seven symptoms then you must take immediate action to backup your files…

“Back up my hard drive? How do I put it in reverse?” ~ Unknown

While doing regular backups is very important, sometimes people believe that backups are some kind of magic bullet so they let themselves get over confident and let bad hardware issues get out of control. By paying attention and seeing if your machine is experiencing any of these seven signs of eminent hard drive failure, you may be able to save yourself hours of wasted time and an expensive repair bill.

Sign 8 – Disappearing files and folders

As a drive goes bad it will often display subtle indications of trouble. One of the most overlooked are “vanishing” files or folders. If you notice that you can never find your files anymore or that folders you “know” were there are now gone, then your hard drive maybe slip sliding away.

Sign 9 – Folder and file names that have been scrambled and changed

A related issue is that you can find the folder or file you want…or at least you think you have. The filename is messed up but when you open it, it’s the letter you were looking for. But you have a set way of labeling your files it is way wrong. A sign of things going badly quickly.

Sign 10 – You experience really loooong waits to access folders and files

Another related issue. You can find the file fine but you notice that over the last little bit, it’s been taking practically forever to open folders or files. Once you click on a file, you can get up, grab a coffee, and read the front page of daily paper before it opens up. Just joking, but accessing files are noticeably slower.

Sign 11 – The System locks-up during boot up, repeatedly

Okay, even the best of machines, even brand-new-outta-the-box ones will misbehave by locking up occasionally. Occasionally… If you start have lockups every other time you boot up your machine, the drive can be having lots of read/write errors that overwhelm it. Time to go shopping.

Sign 12 – ScanDisk or a third-party utility shows bad sectors

Windows’ drive diagnostic tool Scandisk if one of my faves. By running it and setting it to “automatically fix” errors, you can see if your drive has physical bad “spots” or sectors on the disk platters. You can also use a third-party program. All the major hard drive manufacturers have free utilities on their websites.

Sign 13 – Error message: Disk can’t find the Windows Master File Table (MFT) or Master Boot Record (MBR)

You may have a bit of luck with this one. The good news, a virus or piece of spyware has taken over your drive and rewritten or “hidden” the MFT (on Windows 2000 and later) or MBR (Windows 98/Me and earlier). You may be to repair this with some technical help. The bad news, is that the MFT/MBR files rarely get corrupted or become infected, so this is almost a sign of drive gone bad.

Sign 14 – The drive is running hot

This one sign you probably will never notice since, it requires that the case be removed from your computer. Instead of sign this should actually be classified as a more of a test. If you notice any of the other problems mentioned above, then you can pop your PC case and lay your hand on top of hard drive while in operation. It should be warm but not hot to the touch. A hot device is positive physical sign of early failure.

Your PC is having any of the above issues then you must backup your files, as completely as possible as soon as you can. Even with these danger signs, hard drives have been known to fail without warning, so backup frequently.

In the end, only Google-friendly sites will remain on the top spot and black hatters will most likely be banned in Google in the awards night.

So what is the lesson here? For the 30 days, I have learned that SEO is not very hard to learn, but for a site to be on the top spot, it would need a lot of work and it takes time.

If your hard drive is having any of these seven symptoms then you must take immediate action to backup your files…

“I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.” ~ Isaac Asimov

Like the late, great Mr. Asimov said, we shouldn’t worry about computers taking over but be more concerned when they fail us and take all our important files with them. A computer’s hard drive is the central storage within the system and its failure will bring all practical functions to a complete halt.

If your PC is experiencing any of the following signs of impeding doom then you must run (not walk) and grab CDs to burn backups of all your essential data.

Sign 1 – You hear high-pitched whining, loud clicking or grinding noises coming from the drive

A normally operating drive will make a smooth “whirling” sound as is spins up or down. But if a drive has a grinding or clicking sounds (the Read/Write heads scraping too close to the magnetic platters), then your drive is sick and is on the way out.

Sign 2 – You see the infamous “Blue Screen of Death”, repeatedly

BSODs (Blue Screens of Death) are actually called “Stop” errors and they only appear when your Windows system is experiencing severe software or hardware issues. Often BSODs can cured with a careful “Repair Install” of the Windows operating system or by removal of a bad device driver. But if these software fast fixes don’t seem stick, then your hard drive is usually on its last legs

Sign 3 – Your computer keeps re-booting on its own

I admit, I have only seen this problem a few times in my 18+ year career and in all instances it was due to hardware issues. Once it was a dust covered motherboard, and another time an overheating processor. But all the other times it was due to bad drives.

Sign 4 – Your system keeps having frequent freezes or hang ups

You are working along just fine, and then suddenly everything comes to a halt. The program freezes up on you. Your mouse and keyboard seem to stop responding. The only solution is to reboot.

Sign 5 – Error message: hard drive is not formatted

This a fun message that you will get when you start up your machine. You maybe able to restart and get it to boot into Windows a few more times but this error is “fur-sure” sign that you drive is very close to death. And by the way don’t try to format the drive! You will lose all your data.

Sign 6 – Error message: boot drive or device not found or drive cannot be accessed

This is another favorite of mine. You can check the CD/DVD trays or the floppy drive to make sure no stray disks are stuck inside. You can also check the BIOS to make sure the system is booting from the hard drive first. If all these tests are no-good, then the drive is a goner.

Sign 7 – Errors: Operating system not found or Missing Operating System

This is a bad one. Even the Microsoft technical support knowledgebase has only got a few causes for this error message. Basically your PC can no longer detect the hard drive or the drive is too severely damaged to read (DOA).

What to do if your drive has any of these symptoms:

1) First, listen up, if possible, BACKUP YOUR FILES NOW!

2) Create a boot disk and run Windows Scandisk and set it to automatically fix errors. If it finds more than a few bad sectors then see the point above

3) If possible download and use a hard drive diagnostic program. All the major hard drive manufacturers have free utilities on their websites. Repair what you can and see point 1.

Here are another seven signs of|fc30be79b35e3c8bec70fa1295783d0a drive failure. If your hard drive is having any of these seven symptoms then you must take immediate action to backup your files…

“Back up my hard drive? How do I put it in reverse?” ~ Unknown

While doing regular backups is very important, sometimes people believe that backups are some kind of magic bullet so they let themselves get over confident and let bad hardware issues get out of control. By paying attention and seeing if your machine is experiencing any of these seven signs of eminent hard drive failure, you may be able to save yourself hours of wasted time and an expensive repair bill.

Sign 8 – Disappearing files and folders

As a drive goes bad it will often display subtle indications of trouble. One of the most overlooked are “vanishing” files or folders. If you notice that you can never find your files anymore or that folders you “know” were there are now gone, then your hard drive maybe slip sliding away.

Sign 9 – Folder and file names that have been scrambled and changed

A related issue is that you can find the folder or file you want…or at least you think you have. The filename is messed up but when you open it, it’s the letter you were looking for. But you have a set way of labeling your files it is way wrong. A sign of things going badly quickly.

Sign 10 – You experience really loooong waits to access folders and files

Another related issue. You can find the file fine but you notice that over the last little bit, it’s been taking practically forever to open folders or files. Once you click on a file, you can get up, grab a coffee, and read the front page of daily paper before it opens up. Just joking, but accessing files are noticeably slower.

Sign 11 – The System locks-up during boot up, repeatedly

Okay, even the best of machines, even brand-new-outta-the-box ones will misbehave by locking up occasionally. Occasionally… If you start have lockups every other time you boot up your machine, the drive can be having lots of read/write errors that overwhelm it. Time to go shopping.

Sign 12 – ScanDisk or a third-party utility shows bad sectors

Windows’ drive diagnostic tool Scandisk if one of my faves. By running it and setting it to “automatically fix” errors, you can see if your drive has physical bad “spots” or sectors on the disk platters. You can also use a third-party program. All the major hard drive manufacturers have free utilities on their websites.

Sign 13 – Error message: Disk can’t find the Windows Master File Table (MFT) or Master Boot Record (MBR)

You may have a bit of luck with this one. The good news, a virus or piece of spyware has taken over your drive and rewritten or “hidden” the MFT (on Windows 2000 and later) or MBR (Windows 98/Me and earlier). You may be to repair this with some technical help. The bad news, is that the MFT/MBR files rarely get corrupted or become infected, so this is almost a sign of drive gone bad.

Sign 14 – The drive is running hot

This one sign you probably will never notice since, it requires that the case be removed from your computer. Instead of sign this should actually be classified as a more of a test. If you notice any of the other problems mentioned above, then you can pop your PC case and lay your hand on top of hard drive while in operation. It should be warm but not hot to the touch. A hot device is positive physical sign of early failure.

Your PC is having any of the above issues then you must backup your files, as completely as possible as soon as you can. Even with these danger signs, hard drives have been known to fail without warning, so backup frequently.

If your PC keeps crashing like mine not so long back, did you come to a point where you were just about threw it out the window. Like me I bet that you found it so maddening and frustrating.

To add to the problem your PC was running so slow you presumed that it was entering the snails race instead of the 100m sprint.. Such a change from the PC that you acquired when you first bought it at the computer store.

There are various reasons to the problems which you are experiencing with your PC or laptop.

One ) Without realising , you could have download some spyware or adware whilst browsing a site. The best remedy for this is to get one of the programs which will actually remove the adware or spyware for you. You can do this manually, but my advice to you is to try one of the top adware programs that can do it at the click of a button.

The good programs will give you a free scan plus offer a money back guarantee because there are confident of the software. In this way you can try with the assurance of receiving your money back or try before you buy..

Two ) Your PC could be infected with a virus. Please treat this seriously as you can , because you can literally lose all the information on your PC, as it the drive has needed to be re-formatted. I know that people forget to back up the important contents of their computer and I learnt this vital lesson. I suggest that you try AVG as you can get a free version. Just type “AVG” into Google search box.

Three ) Get rid of the programs that you don’t need. Believe me that you will not believe the programs or software that is lying on your computer’s hard drive, that you don’t use any more.

Are you continue to playing games you uploaded over twelve months back. You almost certainly have the update already. This also goes for software. You’ll be terribly shocked at all the confusion that you have. By liberating the disc space, it’ll go towards optimizing your personal computer and augmenting the speed.

Four ) Clean up or optimize your PC registry. The registry is the heart of your PC and so crucial to the general performance. It stores vital information like networking, hardware and all the software to name a couple. It becomes corrupted over time and requires maintenance and optimization. This is a standard reason for a PC crashing or slowing down in it’s performance.

I do hope that these tips will help you resolve the frustrating problem of your computer crashing or running so slow. You have to remember that it needs regular maintenance like any machine, for it to remain at it’s optimum performance.

If you implement the above tips you should see a good improvement in your computer’s performance. I would pay particular importance to adware and spyware invading your machine. I wish you good luck.

Spyware can definitely wreak havoc on your computer system. Your computer could be working fine one day at peak performance and with no problems and then the very next day, suddenly you log on and it takes forever to load your basic operating system.

When you finally get logged on and online, you notice how slow things seem to be moving. Pages on the web are taking forever to load and you’re getting pop-up windows filled with advertisements. Your homepage is different and filled with more advertisements. You suddenly get a new pop up window with a pornographic image in it. You shake your head wondering what’s going on. It’s as if your computer has been taken over by someone else.

Well, it has. A spyware program has invaded your machine. The spyware threat is real. Anyone who uses a computer is susceptible to spyware infection. In fact, nine out of 10 Internet-connected PCs are infected with spyware that can:

Open your PC to identity theft

Expose your personal information and private accounts

Corrupt your hard drive

Share your passwords and user names

Spyware threats can be any application that may track your online or offline PC activity. It may save or transmit those findings to third parties. These unwanted programs are stealthy and often attach to your computer without your knowledge – or appropriate consent. Many nefarious spyware threats can record keystrokes to steal your social security number, bank account information and credit card numbers, or hijack your modem to dial expensive, pornographic phone numbers.

Adware is a different type of program that lets companies track your online activities and tailor pop-up ads based on your choices.

*What are the symptoms of spyware?*

If you use the Internet, it’s very likely some form of spyware threats are already at work on your PC. Your computer may be infected if you recognize any of these symptoms:

Sluggish PC performance

An increase in pop-up-ads

Mysterious new toolbars you can’t delete

Unexplained changes to homepage settings

Puzzling search results

Frequent computer crashes

*How do spyware threats find Us?*

Through seemingly harmless tasks spyware threats may attach itself to your computer. These unwanted programs may start watching your actions right away or the programs may wait, triggering covert activities later. Even if you’re careful you can pick up these dangerous, unwanted programs through normal Web activities like:

Sharing music, files or photos with other users

Visiting a media-supported Web site

Opening spam e-mail or an e-mail attachment

Downloading free games, toolbars, media players and other system utilities

Installing mainstream software applications without fully reading license agreements

*How can I remove spyware?*

Detecting spyware is tough and spyware removal is even more difficult. Even if you think you’ve successfully removed an unwanted program manually, a remaining tickler file can trigger a complete reinstallation the next time you start your PC. And as a survival tactic, malware programs often leave similar traces elsewhere on your system so the game of cat and mouse never ends.

For these reasons, the most effective way to detect and safely remove spyware threats from your system is antispyware software. Be cautious about the rogue and suspect antispyware products.

Microsoft Corporation

Okay guys, I’ve posted this query twice but no one has helped me. I gather no one reads properly because everytime I tell them I have used a registry/cleaner tool (wise registery cleaner, ccleaner – there the only 64 bit cleaners I could find) they do nothing and people just point me back to them.

So lately, I’ve been experiencing the BSOD. It’s driving me NUTS. I put my computer together about 6 months ago and never had a problem until a few days ago. The BSOD doesn’t display what the problem is, just says there’s a problem.

Here’s the specs of my computer:
CPU: Intel i7-950 3.06Ghz 8Mb Cache
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EX58 Extreme
Ram: Cosair Dominator GT 1866Mhz DDR3 (3x2GB)
OS: Windows Vista 64-bit.
Graphics: Nvidia Quadro FX 1700

Sometimes it resets after 2 hours, sometimes 2 seconds after start up. I’ve booted it up in safe mode and done registry cleaners, error fixes, spyware and antivirus scans. I’ve done a disk cleanup too. Can’t do a disk defrag cause everytime I do that it crashes the computer.
I’ve updated my graphics card driver, reset my bios settings (dunno about upgrading cause I haven’t found any upgrades on the net for my motherboard). Uninstalled programs. Reinstalled programs…nothings helped.

When I do a memory diagnostic scan, sometimes it says my computers clean and others says there’s a problem with the memory, but doesnt tell me where.

This is the problem thats listed when it boots up after a BSOD error:

I’ve also tried deleted the two bottom files identified as problems…they popped back up straight away.
Just seeing if anyone has any ideas on what I should do next, whether a technician can fix it, wiping my computer clean or whether upgrading to windows 7 will remove this problem? I’m looking more towards the upgrade cause the technicians around here seem to charge hundreds of dollars for check ups.

Any help would be appreciated!! Srsly considering moving to MAC seeing as the amount of stress this has caused me!!

Best reply by Csmart:

BSOD is generally result of corrupt OS or hardware failure. since you are getting memory error, try to change your RAM. even check your hard disks for error. also remove all connected hardware like printer, webcam etc.

try reisntalling os from scratch. ie delete the partitions, reformat it and then install OS..

also check RAM compatibility. cosair is not mentioned on Gigabyte website for your motherboard. theoretically it should support. but then you are facing BSOD so this cna be also a problem. try using only one RAM module at time by physically removing other two. also check whether RAM modules are properly installed or not.
