    Computer crashed three times
    « on: May 25, 2010, 12:01:29 PM »
    My computer has crashed three times in the last week or so.

    The first time, I had my webcam software open (I wasn't connected to anybody) and I also had Firefox and iTunes open. I'm pretty sure it crashed soon after I started playing music in ITunes.

    The second time was just after loading into a game of Left for Dead 2; I don't think I had anything else open besides Steam (perhaps Digsby).

    The third time I was watching a streaming video in Firefox.

    Each time it crashed, the sound and video caught for a moment, and then it auto restarted. The only recent changes are the installation of my new webcam, a Logitec Quickcam Pro 9000. After the first two crashes, I updated my graphics card drivers to the newest version. Then about a day later the third crash occurred.

    I am running windows 7 64 bit on a computer I custom built in December 09.

    Motherboard - MB ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 790GX/SB750 RT

    Processor - CPU AMD|PH II X4 945F 3.0G AM3 R

    Graphics Card - VGA PNY GeForce GTS250 R

    Power Supply - PSU RAIDMAX | HYBRID2 RX-630SS 630W

    RAM - MEM 2Gx2|GSKILL F3-10666CL8D-4GBRM

    Any help would be appreciated.

      The Blue Screen of Death is hiding from you.  Time to smoke it out!

      Start -> right-click "Computer" -> left-click "Properties" -> Advanced System Settings -> "Settings" button under "Startup and Recovery" -> uncheck "Automatically restart."

      Now do what you were doing again that was causing your computer to crash.  This time, you'll get the real Blue Screen of Death.

      Write down the first 0x000000XX part of the code (at least what the 'XX' part is) as well as any names of .sys files that are listed (if any).  Post them here.

      Part of the problem is most people don't generally deal with computer problems. So for most they think that close enough is good enough.

        Hello and thanks for your reply.

        Automatically restart is already unchecked - I did in earlier when I first built my computer.

        When it restarts, everything freezes up for a second (sound/video/mouse gets stuck) and then it does the normal start up process as if it were turning on normally. It does bring up the option to start in safe mode (which I decline) and also it attempts to search for the solution online, which hasn't turned up anything.

        Download BlueScreenView ((in Zip file)
        No installation required.
        Unzip downloaded file and double click on BlueScreenView.exe file to run the program.
        When scanning is done, go Edit>Select All.
        Go File>Save Selected Items, and save the report as BSOD.txt.
        Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all content, and paste it into your next reply.

          If you're planning on going around and correcting or responding to all of +asking's nonsense posts, I hope you have a lot of free time today BC  ;D

          Welcome to Vista.

          Welcome to Failville.

          Either you need to read better before giving advice or you don't know what you're talking about or both, but your comments repeatedly seem to reflect this.

          Look at the rest of his posts. Patio sent him a warning yesterday.
