yordan 10 Report post Posted October 7, 2012 You need to know if it's due to your hardware or to a Windows XP problem.What happens if you boot off a bootable CD or floppy ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Runs xpI keep getting blue screen even after turning on right away, can you help have you recently installed or added a device to your system? like sound/video card or upgraded/changed RAM etc?

iGuest 3 Report post Posted October 13, 2012 Well its your momo/ram i suppose, change your memory module and try again.if the problem not solved then its your mobo.if there some of capacitors are in really in bad shape then try to change that.* If you really want to solve this then just change the Mobo(mother board).

OpaQue 15 Report post Posted October 21, 2012 Get any linux bootable and boot your PC using it. They usually have Memory Scanning / Checking program on it. It will Boot your PC and show you something... Try to find a program called "memtest". Please run that. It takes a horribly long time to finish... but you can stop after 3 passes. If there is a RAM (memory) problem... you have the answer for your Blue Screen of Deaths.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there is a RAM (memory) problem... you have the answer for your Blue Screen of Deaths.. 3 runs isn't a lot, I would go for at least an hour while looping nothing but test number 5. If that one turns out error free, then you know it's not your RAM. Other issues could be: faulty PSUfailing CPU coolerfailing NB coolerbad capacitorsvirusdriver issuedata corruption...That's why there are STOP codes, they give you a good direction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
