Hello,
Two days ago I started to get "blue screens" that display for a few seconds and then reboot the PC. I cannot read them properly and I cannot make a screenshot either. All I managed to read on them is something to do with "dumping something"... I also get my PC to go sort of out of sync - as if each horizontal pixel line would shift to either of the sides creating a pattern (so I guess it's no ordinatry BSoD problem). That obviously freezes the computer. When starting it again I agreed for the "Setup Restore" (I'm not sure if that's the right name...) but it was unsuccessful in fixing the issue. All I got was a report saying it's a "PROBLEM SIGNATURE 01 AUTOFAILOVER".
Could someone PLEASE help me answering the following questions and possibly fix this issue?
1) Is this a SOFTWARE or a HARDWARE issue?
2) If it's Software, would System Repair from the Windows DVD help?
3) If it's Software, could it be caused by a Bad Sector on my Hard Drive (Hardware)?
4) If it's my Hard Drive, what disk scan-repair software would you recommend to check it with (my Scan Disk does nothing after a reboot)?
5) Could software like "CCleaner" fix it by cleaning the registry files (I've done that and I seem to get the PC problems less often)?
I am using:
Widows 7 64bit
Phenom II (six core)
~8GB RAM
ATi Radeon HD4890 2GB
(but I believe anything apart from the system matters not)
All help is very much appreciated!
Thanks
