• Seemingly random bluescreens and an odd boot priority change..
    4 replies, posted
Over the last week or so I've been experiencing some seemingly random blue screens.. They have occured in the follwing circumstances: - Playing Warcraft - Watching a video whilest clicking and dragging a file - Randomly while I slept Normally I'd just brush it off, a few blue screens every now and then isn't a huge problem, right? But it's the most recent one that confused me, I woke up this morning to find my computer hanging on a blue screen and after I rebooted I found my secondary hard-drive set as the primary boot device so instead of booting into my lovely up-to-date copy of Windows 7 I booted into the old release candidate, much to my horror and surprise because I thought I had deleted almost everything that thing needed to run (I've been too lazy to do a complete format on my old HDD because I'm using it for media storage.) Does anyone know what could be happening? All my drivers, etc are up to date and my specs are as follows: [B]GPU: [/B]nVidia GeForce GTX 285 1gb video RAM [B]Display:[/B] One 1920 x 1080 and one 1280 x 1024 [B]CPU:[/B] Intel Q6600 @ 2.6ghz [B]RAM: [/B]6gb, can't remember the brand I'll also direct you here to a previous thread of mine because this could be a related problem somehow: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=892445[/url]
Next time you get the bluescreen, write down the error code. It should be at the bottom and look something like this: 0x0000000000. There should be a few, write them all down and then post them in here.
Yeah the thing is it's currently set to restart whenever I get a blue screen (come to think of it, it's odd how it hung on the blue screen last time) and I'm not sure how to change that setting.
Okay it just blue screened again but it restarted too quickly for me to get down any details, however when I booted up again I got a "Windows has recovered from an unexpected error" message come up with the following information: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3794151/crashinfo.png[/img] I uploaded the mini dump file here: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3794151/022510-25640-01.dmp[/url] but I couldn't find the second file it was talking about.
Press F8 like if you where trying to boot into safe mode and when that screen loads up click "Disable Automatic Restart"
