Solved Random BSODs

[wisecraker1]

The strangest thing just happened. My pc BSoD's, and restarted as usual. Once it booted up it would not let me open ANY applications, giving a pop-up "this program is not compatible with your current version of windows. Please check to make sure that the program is 32- or 64-bit compatible."
Internet explorer, who crashed, safari, audacity, paint, and solitaire would not open but after restarting they opened just fine...
I think I found the cause of my PC issues. It is haunted. LOL.

Umm

 

[wisecraker1]

I'm guessing "umm" means that isn't a good thing? :shock:

 

[koolkat77]

Yes :/

Can you upload the cpuz snips in any way?

 

[wisecraker1]

~2 1/2 hours before I head to the university, I will have Internet for my laptop then.
In the mean time, since apparently I have nothing better to do, I've been restarting the pc and making it crash once every 10-30 minutes.

 

[koolkat77]

Hehe OK.

I'll wait.

 

[wisecraker1]

Patience is a virtue
However it is also my vice

I'm thinking I should stop making my of crash?
The option to put it to sleep from the start menu is now disabled.

 

[wisecraker1]

Cmd
Powercfg -a
Showed sleep is not supported by vgapnp.sys

...Awesome.

 

[wisecraker1]

Chkdsk found no errors, and seatools also found no errors, last done yesterday because Arc told me to. If it needs done again, I can do so in a short while.

Hope you find something good (or bad) in these snips!
CPU core VID fluctuates from the lowest of .851 to .956 being the highest when the multiplier increases/decreases

Edit: I also did SFC/scannow, out of habit. No integrity violations found there either.

You missed slot 2

 

[wisecraker1]

The information is the exact same(exceot the serial #), so I thought I didn't need it. Here it is

 

[koolkat77]

Looks like there's no problem with ram settings either

I am stumped.

 

[wisecraker1]

I'm telling you, it has to be haunted. The only drivers I have installed are the latest Intel HD 4000 Graphics, Nvidia 314.07 GPU driver, and the Wireless Centrino-N 2230 (without the bluetooth portion, using the generic Microsoft driver for that).

I wonder.. if HP can't fix it this time if they will trade this in for a desktop or something else that has more than a .0001% chance of working? I seem to be past case managers, as they are stumpier than us, and their bosses (executive customer relations) are deciding what to do.
:banghead:

 

[koolkat77]

Hmm

Do you have a spare hard drive?

 

[wisecraker1]

I have my encased external, and a 60gb one from my 7 year old HP laptop. Other than that, nope. Why do you ask?

 

[koolkat77]

Oh okay.. Well just that we've done so much with software, clean installs none worked so it is surely some hardware part but I dunno which.

 

[wisecraker1]

My thoughts are an incompatible wireless adapter, namely the bluetooth. If that's possible. Or the driver for it is just absolutely terrible (tried older versions and the one at Hp's website as well).
All I know, is that it is very frustrating getting a bluescreen nearly every 10-30 minutes!
And then sending it off for two weeks to get it back and have the same result...
I feel its a lost cause and my $1,500 investment in a paperweight was a poor one.

 

[koolkat77]

I'm sorry about that.

Anyway I have requested a friend to take a look at your thread (14 pages!)

We'll have to wait before he's online and replies, so

 

[wisecraker1]

It's no rush! I should be paying attention in class anyway.

This is what he said:

Vir Gnarus
The guy said the laptop is pretty brand new and already causing him trouble? The RAM they replaced didn't work, did he send it back to get it looked at again? He should. In fact, he should request a replacement. There's evidently some serious issues (probably with the motherboard) going on here that's not worth trying to troubleshoot on a new system under warranty
