Bsod Upon Boot

Hi,

My pc today started BSOD upon booting it will start to load the vista loading screen bars and then a BSOD will come up and restart so quick that I cannot read what it says on it. I have tried booting into safe mode and the same thing happens. I have also loaded the Vista disk and tried to restore the computer back to an different time but this has not worked either. Does this now suggest that there could be a hardware problem?


The only changes I have made are install the latest updates that were realsed on 13th Oct 2009 and updated video drivers.

Specs

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.40Ghz L2 FSB 1066Mhz E6600 CPU, Gigabyte GA965P DQ6 Motherboard, Corsair XMS2 8GB (4x2GB) DDR2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX Dual Channel Ram, Seagate 250Gb SATA 11, Samsung 400GB SATA Hard Drives, Gigabyte 260GTX DDR3 896Mb, Graphics Card, Creative Sound Blaster XI Gamer Sound Card, Samsung SH-203P/RSMN 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer Light Scribe Disk Drive, Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit SP1 Operating System, Corsair 620W HX Series Modular PSU. Scythe Mini Ninja Heatpip Cooler, Trust 5port USB Card.



Thanks,

Re: Bsod Upon Boot

This is pretty likely the video driver. It's also very important to always uninstall the present display driver before installing an update. And also, use a driver cleaner after the driver uninstallation like Driver Sweeper. But you could try taking out one stick of RAM at the time and see if that may work? But my best bet, is that you unfortunatly are facing an OS reinstallation.

Hiya goranpaa,


Thanks for your reply.

Somehow this problem seemed to correct its self in the end, I don’t know what happened but it has not happened for a while now. I hope that it can hold up long enough for me to backup my data and then install Windows 7.


Thanks again for your help.


Cheers,
