BSOD, Then random computer crashes when playing, freezes on startup.

[krisp018]

I tried to kind of do what you said earlier, I opened the computer case, cleaned out all of the dust (there was like a 2cm layer of it on top of things) and un-plugged and re-plugged everything back in. However didn't help.

Here is basically what I do :

1. Result from yesterday
I come home from school, turn my pc on :
Boot #1. I get until the windows screen (i put in my password) stay on the desktop for like 2 minutes, check skype, email etc, mouse freeze and pc shuts down in 15 seconds.
Boot #2. PC starts itself automatically, 5 seconds of rumbling and nothing on screen, shuts down.
Boot #3. ^ again.
Boot #4. ^ again.
Boot #5. I get through BIOS screen, and it asks me to select "Auto Launch Repair Option" (or something like that, can't remember) and it has a descripton of fixing the windows launch up. I click start windows normally, and everything is okay.

2. Results from Today.
Boot #1. Windows screen (The 4 coloured squares flashing for like 30 seconds - longer than usual and shuts down)
Boot #2. PC starts itself up automatically, 5 seconds of rumbling, black screen, and shuts down (I can hear it running and then stops)
Boot #3. ^
Boot #4. I get through everything, I login using my password, use the desktop for 2 minutes, freezed mouse and crash.
Boot #5. PC starts itself up automatically (like boot attempt #2)
Boot #6. I select start windows normally, and everything is normal.

This confirms what you have described before.
Were you able to do any tests?

 

[krisp018]

Unfortunately not, Im basically a newbie in this kind of stuff, and I don't want to do anything wrong in case everything just breaks. Is there anything easier to do?

 

[TVeblen]

Not much that would be directly helpful.

If you are uncomfortable working inside the case then I highly recommend taking it to a repair shop, or find someone you trust who is capable working with PC components.

Got a new BSOD today. Just after my mouse froze on the desktop. I couldnt get a picture of it because it dissapeared too fast, but I attached a minidump file to this reply so you can have a look at it.

 

[TVeblen]

You should post that over in the BSOD Help Forum.
The guys over there know how to read those dumps. I don't.

Link to it here.

fffff880`0a667158  fffff880`0639766bUnable to load image [COLOR="Red"]bridge.sys[/COLOR], Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for bridge.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for bridge.sys
 bridge+0x866b

WinDBG identies bridge.sys as the offending driver - run Windows Update to see if this solves the issue.

Did as you said, 1 successful boot yesterday, and today a new BSOD.

I attached new minidump file.

Another one today. I was not watching the computer so I dont know if it is the same or not.

 

[TVeblen]

Your responses do not communicate that you are doing any of the tests we suggest to you. Kind of hard to help you without good feedback. We can wait....

 

[krisp018]

I received ''Golden's" message and when I got home and had a bit of free time I turned my computer on to do the memtest and got a BSOD, so I decided to post it before doing the memtest as it takes long. I also did windows updates as he said earlier.

At this moment : 3:51:49 of memtest and only 2 passes.
To do a minimum of 8 it will require me to leave the computer running overnight for another 12 hours before I will be able to post good feedback.

Also during the BSOD I posted earlier on I actually wasnt in front of my computer so I had no idea about it until a window came up saying 'windows recovered from unexpected shutdown'

 

[TVeblen]

OK thanks. Let's wait and see what Memtest serves up for us to chew on!

 

[krisp018]

Okay got the memtest completed for 8 passes.

It has 0 errors, so Im guessing everything went as it should, so now the next move is to read the MiniDump file from the last BSOD and see what happened there?

 

[Golden]

Please upload the last dmp file again please...the last one I looked at was the 1A one

 

[krisp018]

Ok, I attached the BSOD from last day.

I also got another one today morning, when I was on facebook, however no files were created in the MiniDump for that BSOD, and it was a real weird one, 0x and a lot of different numbers, can't remember it as it dissapears in like 2 seconds.

Also after the BIOS screen it says something about 'Failing to boot at checkpoint...' after I get BSOD's or alot of crashes/shutdowns, but again I can't read it as it dissapears instantly

 

[krisp018]

Another BSOD today, but again no MiniDump files created, and the screen dissapeared in 2 seconds so I could not take a photo of it, however I remember it this time .

STOP : 0x0000050

ntfs.sys

Don't know if that is much use, but i might as well try
