Thread: computer wont boot up up =/

is it laptop or a desktop computer ?

desktop pc

if you give power do you hear beeeps or does it stay turned off ?

well it turns out i figured out the problem. but now a new one has arisen.

when i boot up the pc and browse the internet for say ten minutes then all of a sudden.. out of no where i get the blue screen of death. BAM.

after i start up the computer it says windows has recovered from a unexpected shut down i think. here is some info i got.

any ideas on what to do? ive lost one computer to the blue screen a few years ago. any help would be greatly appreciated



sorry bout the double post didnt know i had to have 3 posts to post urls. =)

have you
updated some drivers ?
installed new software ?

or maybe your RAM is damaged
install this on a floppy disk and boot your PC to find out is it has bad memory

i havent installed any new drivers which coud be the issue considering the computer was down for a while and i had someone else on another forum suggest the same.

no new programs basically all that is on it is world of warcraft, ares, and winamp.

as soon as i get home ill run that test and post some feedback on what happened. thx. =)

what drivers do i update and where do i find the ones i need? microsoft.com?

thanks top i updated all my drivers and now everything works beautifully thanks =]

well it seems i lied as i was about to power down my pc late last night i got the error once more leaving the most recent problem unsolved.

i ran windows memory DOS and it didnt pick up any problems with my RAM.

still getting the blue screen when i do things to fast or try to boot up world of warcraft. lol...

could this have anything to do with the fact that i went from over a gig of ram down to 512 RAM?

mmm yes could be

are you using XP or Vista ?

vista home premium. if this is the problem how is it fixed? because my power supply cant handle the ram and the vid card i had in so i had to take some out.

buy a new power supply and more ram? i hope that isnt the case...

Vista with half Gb of ram is not a good option..

i would install the most stable Windows version for desktop/notebook users:

windows XP corporate edition SP2 (the corporate edition is the Pro edition that doesn't need activation)

hmm. so if i got say another 256mb it may stop blue screening?

and also the windows xp thing is gonna be my last resort because i like vista, but where do i get the version that i dont need to register, on microsoft.com? or what
