Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool Jan 2014 KB890830 downloaded and ran without issue It didn't help, so still stuck in Safe Mode, possibly because a couple of the updates said they cannot be uninstalled. Somewhere along the process I also tried System Restore to one of the periods prior to the MS Updates when everything was stable. The system claims RAID is healthy, as is SMART monitoring of the two drives.
Tried re-installing NVidia RAID drivers again, but it hasn't helped this time. MS updates then came in a couple of weeks ago, and I've not been able to boot normally since. I had further hiccups, requiring re-installation of the RAID drivers again, and removed AVAST completely, replacing it with Kapersky.Īgain system stable for a week or two with no issues I then updated the drivers from Biostar's website and the sysyem booted up as normal and stayed stable for a small few weeks.
Initially I could just disable the various drivers from Recovery Console to allow booting into Safe mode, from where I could do the actual uninstall.įollowing the uninstall I did get minidumps written which pointed to the NVidia RAID drivers. I uninstalled (and later re-installed) AVAST wondering if it had crashed when checking out the SD card. Video camera pointing at screen shows STOP 0x0000007f, but I can't get the rest of the digits to record at the moment as it doesn't flash up for long enough.Ī while ago I got immediate BSOD when I plugged an SD card in with some photos on it, which caused major grief, and wouldn't even get into Safe Mode subsequently. There is also a separate 500GB PATA drive with more data on it.įor some reason the Minidump isn't writing on BSOD even though it's set to from Control Panel and also seems to be set to in the registry.Īlso I cannot disable rebooting after BSOD, but can get into Safe mode after the first Normal mode failure. Storage is software RAID 1 2 x 1TB with multiple partitions, of which C drive contains operating system. I was running a dual screen of a GeForce 9500GT, but just reverted to single screen of MOBO video in case that was the issue, but sadly no change. XP SP3 Biostar MOBO TF7150u-m7 4 GB memory
The spec is a bit odd, but it's been working fine for ages, though it has had a couple of recent hiccups. (or at least it will do now after much toil on my part) It died just before we went away after some MS updates a few weeks ago, it's been BSOD in normal mode ever since, but will boot into Safe with networking. Hello folks, I suppose I should introduce myself first, but I thought I'd pose a query here as I'm just back off my hols and struggling with a poorly PC
