Blue screen of death (Problem still not fixed!)


Recommended Posts

Ok. I still get the "Blue Screen of Death", and I've tried many things (short of reinstalling Windows), whith no luck. Here are the errors that I get:

KERNEL_INPAGE_STACK_ERROR

-and sometimes (although rarely)-

KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR

Sometimes random '.sys' files are reported as crashed/terminated, but with the "KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR" it's a rare occurence compared to the "KERNEL_INPAGE_STACK_ERROR" error. I've tried MANY sugguestions by the users on the Forum, and it still hasn't been fixed.

I've done the following things:

~Run Memtest, even took the memory into the shop to get it checked (nothing wrong)

~Scanned my harddrive for Bad/Damaged sectors (nothing came up with the tool I used. If you have a better tool that I may use, please post a link to it.)

~Uninstalled, reinstalled and Updated all my Drivers (did not fix my problem, but made the computer run a bit faster)

~Made sure all my Hardware is 100% Vista Compatible (Nothing wrong, video card seems a bit slow - see specs)

I've avoided Reinstalling Windows Vista, because I have some time-sensative projects that NEED to be completed (by tomorrow, no less >< and I'm not even 3/4 the way done), and taking the time to download and reinstall all the programs (16 different programs ><) will take away precious time that I DO NOT HAVE. This goes the same for taking the entire computer into the shop. Either of these MAY fix the problem, but I wish to be able to fix the problem without doing either of them.

Help? ((Note: I don't have filenames for the .sys files))

Also:

~Is this a problem any other Vista users have experienced?

~If so, how did they resolve it?

My Specs:

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 2X Dual Core Processor 4200+ 2.20 GHz

Memory: 1791 MB (+200 MB; reserved on the System as backup memory)

OS: Windows Vista Home Basic [32bit] (64bit wont runs some oft he programs I want)

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6100 nForce 430 [Microsoft Corporation - WDDM]

Sound Card: Built-in 5.1 Surround Sound Card

I've avoided Reinstalling Windows Vista, because I have some time-sensative projects that NEED to be completed

I wont even ask why you installed it the first place ... you should try running "SFC /SCANNOW" (without quotes) from the command line running as administrator. Its either a corrupt file (in which case SFC should repair) or your having hardware failures beyond your control. Good luck.

::winXpert::

-I- didn't install it, it came with the computer (which means reinstalling would result in me having to go buy a CD), and WinXP CDs are hard to find right now because they're "pushing Windows Vista", othewise I would have had XP when I got the computer. So unless I directly order it from Microsoft, which can take 2-4 weeks to deliver, I probably wont get Windows XP for a while.

I'll try your suggestion.

How about calling the vendor for support. That would be smart now wouldn't it?

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I've been hit with this problem too.

The common factor between myself and the OP seems to be the wonderful integrated video card we're both using.

The Geforce 6100

My best guess would be that this card is somehow creating very nasty problems with the page file, as the crash seems always to occur after closing or changing windows from a graphically intense (relatively speaking) window to another. Unfortunately I don't have the money to run out and grab myself a new Video Card just now... Perhaps complaining to Nvidia is the way forward?

I just had this problem today. Kept blue screening over and over again as soon as I booted up (the first time, it happened in the middle of a video game, once I restarted, it just wouldn't boot up). I realized it was because I had uninstalled my sound driver earlier (had cracking and popping issues). Did you uninstall any drivers recently?

right click my computer --> properties --> advanced --> startup and recovery settings --> uncheck everything under system failure --> write debugging information : none

this will at the least not bother you with blue screens anymore.. its a temporary solution but as people said.. try and get a hold of microsoft... or the pc vendor..

ps. I use XP so the instructions above are on an XP machine but i'm pretty sure its quiet the same in Vista

    • It depends, but it's also going to push more adoption of open source AI models that can run locally, I'm seeing a pattern among the US and China when it comes to closed and open source AI models, they close when they feel they have the advantage, open up when they feel they don't. This has little to do with security and everything to do with control, the irony is that the ones that do go open and get the community behind them are the ones that have the real control, hence why we keep seeing this seesaw from closed to open. Ultimately, it's far too dangerous to let any one country or corporation to control AI, which is why open source AI or AI you can run locally on your hardware is very likely going to be the future of AI over the long run, this is especially the case as AI becomes more powerful and useful for user, privacy, security and censorship will become more of an issue for users and businesses.
    • A person should only be required to click through to an article if they want to know more details. The headline should give basic facts. A basic fact would include the name of the service being shut down.
    • That would probably be a good outcome, but it would also require other "features" be changed to comply, such as Auto play, scrolling, and advertising. Having the laws shift these platforms back to a socially responsible and useful places is a benefit for everyone. The addictive nature is the problem, and while many blame the individual, psychologists would suggest the platform is using a well trodden playbook to hook in more revenue..
    • It is in fact being discontinued in the US in July.
    • It was a rather nice rant as I rather dislike when people support the shitifcation of the Internet. My comment also factually applied the definition of "clickbait' to this headline unlike your comment. I have been reading this site for some 20 years now so I will call them out when they are doing carp they shouldn't be doing but thanks for your concern. You can't even do a search by headline anymore to do a quick search to find something because most of the titles lack all the relevant keywords that should be there.
