Windows 7 Blue Screen errors

[elgar22]

Dear forum members

I have a home built system which I had running XP Pro and Vista on separate HDDs. As a Microsoft Technet subscriber I had been through the beta program for Windows 7 and had everthing running superbly. However after I installed Windows 7 Ultimate N 64 bit all started to go pear shaped. occasional blue screens became daily then hourly and now I can't startup at all. Can't even reinstall! It seemed to coincide with the problem which they claimed only affected Win XP. anyone seen anythign similar and can help?

Not sure, and it's going to depend on the bluescreen errors themselves as to what is happening. However, you say that it bugchecks even when trying to reinstall from the installation media?

Hi cluberti,

Thanks for replying. I hate to be so vague but I've seen various messages and I have been unable to start up for sufficient time to save any of the mini dumps. There seem to be several different messages. They include from memory:-

PAGE_NOT_EQUAL

IRQ_NOT_EQUAL

ACPI.sys

and many many more that I can't remember

When I try startup repair its reporting Problem Signature 6.0.6001.18000; 6.1.7600.16385; AutoFailover and Corrupt Registry

Its blue screening on the XP and Vista boots as well.

I think I hoped someone would confirm or deny that this has anything to do with the MS blooper of the Feb security update or if that was just a coincidence. If its not that maybe I need to put the spotlight on my hardware.

I had got to desperate measures when I tried to reinstall but even that wiill not work. Brain addled!

There was nothing wrong with that security update in February, the few people that had a BSoD had rootkits on their systems.

If you're getting a BSoD on XP, Vista, and 7 you probably have bad hardware, as that would be a single common factor whereas having a bad configuration on all 3 operating systems is less likely.

An easy way to review the dump files create by the BDoD is with NirSoft BlueScreenView (freeware)

If you post a screenshot of that program window or upload the actual dump files we might be able to help you determine the cause.

You may want to run a Memory Diagnostic anyway, Memtest86+ (freeware) is recommended
