Bluescreen on Startup
I am having an issue with blue screens. Basically all I can say is that the blue screens have been happening at system start up after I enter the password. I've tried memory swap and I did not have this problem before. It started happening immediately after a system lock-up when I had multiple apparently script-heavy pages opening simultaneously and two copies of World of Warcraft running (do not ask). The odd thing is I can boot up in safe mode with no issue whatsoever, it's just the main windows which leads me to believe one of my boot files is corrupt. With no access to a windows 7 CD to repair and not wanting to part with the money it would take to obtain said disk, I am wondering if there are alternatives. Dump records incoming, though according to a program called BlueScreenView, 3/4 blue screens are the result of a driver known as ntoskrnl.exe, where as the other (first) one highlights atapi.sys and ntoskrnl.exe
Virus scans come up negative, though in my experience that means pretty much nothing. A system restore to Februrary 1st (last critical update) yielded no results. Tried a memory swap but unfortunately I only have 2 sticks and both yielded the same error. BSOD looked something like this.
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
STOP: 0x0000000a (0x0000000000000008 0x0000000000000002 0x0000000000000000 0xfffff80002c69d29)
It highlights atapi.sys and ntoskrnl.exe with the following address: atapi.sys+25c9
Then theres the following:
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
STOP: 0x0000001e (0xffffffffc0000005, 0xfffff80002c74cd8, 0x0000000000000000, 0xffffffffffffffff)
This one only highlights ntoskrnl.exe with the following address: ntoskrnl.exe+70740
The third dump reveals the following:
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
STOP: 0x0000001e (0xffffffffc0000005, 0xfffff800020d1cd8, 0x0000000000000000, 0xffffffffffffffff)
This error highlights ntoskrnl.exe with the following address: ntoskrnl.exe+70740
Finally the latest error:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
STOP: 0x0000000a (0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000, 0xfffff80002cdc2b3)
This error highlights ntoskrnl.exe with the following address: ntoskrnl.exe+70740
