Love to help but no dmp files in the upload, try this method.




To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.

The procedure:

* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.



To ensure minidumps are enabled:

Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
OK your way out.
Reboot if changes have been made.

you have listed in your specs only 512MB of memory is this right?
i didn't think win 7 would run with only 512MB . that maybe the cause of your bsod's

Yes I only have 512MB of Memory. I wasn't for sure if Windows 7 would run on that much or not.

Windows 7 needs at the minimum 2gigs of memory.

Run that ^ and it will tell you if you can install 7 or not.

I installed 2 gigs of new memory and windows is still freezing up.
Any other suggestions? Would resetting the BIOS help?

Please upload a new report so we can see what is going on with your computer.

You can try resetting the BIOS. It wouldn't hurt anything as long as you do it correctly.

Here is the new report I ran. Thanks for the help.

 

[mgorman87]

This is not a full report. All that's in there is a couple text files. Please follow the instructions from the link below on how to upload a jcgriff2 report.

Sorry about that. Here is the report. I could not get the system health report to work. When I typed it in the search box nothing came up?

Let's start off by updating your network drivers. Your network card is not supported in Windows 7 so we will have to use Vista drivers. It should work just the same.
Network Drivers

If you can, after updating the drivers, please install SP1 - How to install SP1

Once that finishes (if it does), I would like you to run some tests.

Start off with Prime95. Make sure you run all three tests for a couple hours each.

I also noticed some I/O (input/output) errors stemming from your hard drive. Please run the Seatools hard disk scan.

Could you also tell me what PSU (power supply) your using?

Let me know any errors or problems you run into.

 

[lance9790]

thanks for your help.

I tried to install the vista network drivers but it would not install them. It said there were no intel adapters.

Boot into safe mode and browse to C:\windows\system32\drivers and take the new driver you downloaded and drag it into the drivers folder. It should ask you if you want to replace it. Say yes.

Reboot the computer.

 

[lance9790]

It downloaded and install program. How do I get the driver file out of it to copy over?

 

[mgorman87]

Find out where it copied the files to and copy it from there.

 

[lance9790]

sorry but I cannot find it. I found where it saved the .exe file but I can't find where it put all the individual files.

Can anybody help me get this windows Vista driver installed?
It won't let me install it with the auto install. Is there a way I can extract
the driver?

If you download the exe and use a program like WinRAR or 7-zip you can right click the exe and view the archive. You can then extract the files to where ever you choose and then after you extract the file go into your device manager and find your network device and update the drivers and choose the option that you have the disk and then point to where you extracted the files. That should allow you to update the drivers.
