Hello I'm New to this forum and I need some help.
I purchased a refurbished computer a while back, and it worked perfectly for around 6 months. It began getting blue screens of death, or BSDs. I know each specific BSD is to a different problem, and for a long time it stuck to 2-3 different BSD errors, including "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" and "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL", so I began to investigate and began swapping each of the 4 1g or 50mb RAM slots in and out, sometimes running with only one. I also attempted to have a fresh install of Windows. I found this had little effect. I ignored the problem for a while, around a year, but it has now become overwhelming and the different reasons or titles for the BSDs that have been occurring have been multiplied. Errors occur at different moments and seem to be random, during graphic intensive video games, opening a new task, attempting to access email. Also, I've ran several scans for viruses and found none. Below is a list of what has been occurring to my computer lately.
BSDs:
*IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
*MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
*DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
*BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER
A_PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
NonBSDs:
*Freezing Occurring a lot.
*Rolling restarts. While starting up, it will shut itself back down and display the "Windows has failed to start" screen. This will occur over and over at times.
Error Message pops up on screen "You are about to restart because of the Plug and Play feature has unexpectedly stopped working."
*=One of the most typical/reoccurring errors.
System specs:
Manufacturer: Dell
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 6000 + 3.00GHz
RAM: 3070 MB
System Type: 32-bit Operating System
Windows Vista
Thank you ahead of time for any help,
Craig.
