ciro Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Hello everybody,I've got this problem on my pc (Thinkpad IBM with WIN XP PRO)Boot hangs at Winxp logo (the lines under the logo go on 6 or 7 times); PC stops, CTRL-ALT-CANC doesn't work and the only way is to switch off and on the pc.Switching it on again pc stops again; after a certain number of switching off/on (can't say how many, maybe 5 or 6) it finally boots and everything works fine (for an entire working day).I have tried to boot in safe mode, minimal and network: it works everytime without problems.I have tried to boot with the flag /basevideo (driver VGA 16 colours) but it hangs the same. So I don't think it is a video driver problem.Booting in safe mode /pcilock doesn't change the situation.I have changed hard disk and completely reinstalled the o.s. and the SP2.Here is a part of the bootlog file ntbtlog.txt:Driver loaded \WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exeDriver loaded \WINDOWS\system32\hal.dllDriver loaded \WINDOWS\system32\KDCOM.DLLDriver loaded \WINDOWS\system32\BOOTVID.dllDriver loaded ACPI.sysDriver loaded \WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\WMILIB.SYSDriver loaded pci.sysDriver loaded isapnp.sysDriver loaded compbatt.sysDriver loaded \WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\BATTC.SYSDriver loaded intelide.sysDriver loaded \WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\PCIIDEX.SYSDriver loaded pcmcia.sysDriver loaded MountMgr.sysDriver loaded ftdisk.sysDriver loaded ACPIEC.sysDriver loaded \WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\OPRGHDLR.SYSDriver loaded PartMgr.sysDriver loaded VolSnap.sysDriver loaded atapi.sysDriver loaded disk.sysDriver loaded \WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\CLASSPNP.SYSDriver loaded fltmgr.sysDriver loaded sr.sysDriver loaded KSecDD.sysDriver loaded Ntfs.sysDriver loaded NDIS.sysDriver loaded Mup.sysDriver loaded agp440.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\p3.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\s3gsavm.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\e100b325.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\ltck000c.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\Modem.SYSDriver loaded \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\cwcspud.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\i8042prt.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\kbdclass.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\TwoTrack.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\mouclass.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\fdc.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\serial.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\serenum.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\parport.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\nscirda.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\irenum.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\CmBatt.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\ibmpmdrv.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\cdrom.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\redbook.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\GEARAspiWDM.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\usbuhci.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\audstub.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\rasirda.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\rasl2tp.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\ndistapi.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\ndiswan.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\raspppoe.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\raspptp.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\msgpc.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\psched.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\ptilink.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\raspti.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\rdpdr.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\termdd.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\swenum.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\update.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\mssmbios.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\usbhub.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\NDProxy.SYSUnable to load the video driver \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\NDProxy.SYSUnable to load the video driver \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\NDProxy.SYSDriver loaded \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\cwcwdm.sysDriver loaded \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\gameenum.sysUnable to load the video driver \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\lbrtfdc.SYSUnable to load the video driver \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\Sfloppy.SYSUnable to load the video driver \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\i2omgmt.SYSUnable to load the video driver \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\Changer.SYSUnable to load the video driver \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\Cdaudio.SYS(This is a translation from the italian version, hope there aren't too many errors).Any idea?Thanx in advance.

firefoxthebomb Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 have you udated your video driver to the latest driver from the manufactures web site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciro Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 Yes, of course.The point is that the pc hangs also in /basevideo mode (i.e. with the basical VGA 16 colours driver), so I don't think it's a video driver problem.I mean, ok: the bootlog talks about a video driver, but the messages are quite strange: "Unable to load the video driver \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\NDProxy.SYS".NDproxy.sys is not a video driver. Anybody knows what this line of bootlog mean?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Make sure that your BIOS settings are set to fail safe default then try to boot the machine. If you still have a problem then boot into safe mode, roll back your drivers through device manager. If you still have a problem then you will have to go in and remove any recently installed programs or possibly uninstall your programs one at a time until you find the one that is causing the problem. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Could be wrong sounds like HW prob to me? Maybe RAM chip crook or worst case processor or mobo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 try to locate Minidump directory in %windir% - R there any files? If they R, upload the latest one, I will try to help U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciro Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hi everyone. thanx for all your suggestions.Sorry for the delay.Here are my replies:SOULIN: Can't find a Minidump directory.There should be always one under the Windows dir or should I activate the dump somehow?MAVERICKS CHOICE: I've checked my RAM with the MS program (don't remember the name: it boots from floppy and checks all the RAM.I am too considering a hw probl, but I don't understand why in safe mode everything always is fine.Also, the problem happens (when it happens) at first boot in the morning, then I can work all the day without any problem, so it can't be so serious.BULLET: I have reinstalled Win on a brand new hd some weeks ago.Also, please note that I had winxp installed for at least 2 years without any problem.

D.Celt Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 NDProxy.SYS Microsoft Corporation NDIS Proxy (network card driver)lbrtfdc.SYS Toshiba Libretto Floppy controllerSfloppy.SYS Microsoft Corporation SCSI Floppy Driveri2omgmt.SYS Microsoft Corporation I2O Utility FilterChanger.sys Microsoft Corporation SCSI CD-ROM DriverCdaudio.sys Microsoft Corporation CD-ROM Audio Filter DriverThose are the files that are either corrupt or missing.Have you tried booting to "Last Known Good Configuration"?If not, boot to safe mode, go to the device manager and try to reinstall the drivers for the above (I'm not sure what I2O Utility is though).If that doesn't work, boot to safe mode, insert your xp disc, open a cmd window & type sfc /scannow then reboot.Still no luck after that? Boot to your xp disc & do a repair install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier1st Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 i had a similar problem,do a xp repair and that will fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciro Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 Thank you D.Celt for the drivers explanation.Yes. I have tried to boot to "Last Known Good Configuration", win starts but then it hangs same way.I have also done an sfc /scannow and rebooted. It took half an hour, but it didn't give any infos: how can I know if it has find errors?Thankx soldier1st, I will do a repair as a last chance: given that I have re-installed everything not so long ago, I want first to understand what has happened before repairing.One more info: in order to understand if it is a winxp probl or a hw one, I have tried to install Linux: installation stops saying something about the IRQ 11 sharing.Coming back to win, I have noticed from device manager that there are 8 devices using IRQ11:Modem 56KNetwork module 10/100Audio deviceVideo deviceCarbus Controller (2 equal entry)PCI to USB controller OpenHost NEC (2 equal entry)Controller Universal Host Intel 82371AB/EB PCI/USBController enhanced host NEC PCI to USB (B1)Is it normal to have so many devices on the same IRQ?If not, is it possible to manual assigns IRQs to devices?

D.Celt Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Is it normal to have so many devices on the same IRQ?If not, is it possible to manual assigns IRQs to devices?Yes that is unusual and may well be the cause of the startup problem. I don't have the means to test this but you should be able to reconfigure resources in device manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doogal Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 First thing that springs to my mind on this is that the GPU could be fried.. not good that on a thinkpad it will of course be integrated..This would explain why in low graphical conditions it seems to work fine but isn't happy running anything higher.

ciro Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 Ok, D.celt, I'll try to reconfigure IRQs.Doogal I don't agree with you: pc works fine (in 1024x768 with all the graphical accelerations) for an entire working day after 4 or 5 reboots in the morning.If it were really fried it would not work at all, don't you think?Also please note that -when it hangs- it doesn't start even in safe mode /basevideo, i.e. VGA 16 colours, so it must be something else.Thank you for your suggestions.Bye.

crs Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Hmm.. I've similar situation, and I think I found reason. I have installed Daemon Tools. When I mount any image and reboot computer, Windows hangs on logo screen. When I mount and unmount image before reboot, Windows boots properly. Question is what is the problem - registry (image information is kept in registry I think) or virtual device? Problem didn't occur few days ago, althoug configuration (programs, CD image) was the same. But meanwhile I used program named Ntregopt which optimized my registry (and decreased it size by about 10%). Maybe this is the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalavista Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 the best thing to do is go into safe mode and backup all your dataand reformat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
