Vista BSOD
« on: July 26, 2007, 02:44:03 PM »
ok so i bought a new comp with Windows Vista recently. It have been running good for 2 days! Now everytime I want to shut down or start up it takes btw 7-15mins to shutdown and 3-10mins to Start up.

Also.. every time I shut down the comp I get a Blue Screen of Death Error after a long time (7-15mins)

I disabled Aero, reduced the number of startup programs and it still slloooowwwww.. Even though I have 2 GB Ram.

What Should I do? Any advices to get rid of this Blue Screen Error!?

Thanks in Advance.

Two days?
Do you have anything important installed? I recommend reinstalling it. Your Manufacturer might have put a bunch of preloaded junk on your computer. Or an error might have occurred while they were restoring their default image to your computer.

And have you been online? If so, do you have Antivirus?

It worked great for 2 days.. I bought the comp 1 week ago.

I have ZoneAlarm Security Suite installed as Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware.

Important install.. PhotoShop, BattleField 2 and Medal of Honor.

I don't have the Vista CDs though. It was pre-installed.. But theres a backup disk that I could maybe use to start back from crap

Try using the disk that came with the computer. Put it in, and restart your computer. See if there is an option that will not format your disk, but that will reinstall the operating system. This may result in registry data loss. Your saved games should still exist, but you may need to reinstall your games after this.
Beware: Some Windows settings may be lost, but your files should stay intact.

I would be taking that back and taking advantage of the warranty....i'd also request a Vista CD as well.
