I was just on the net and got a windows protection BSOD. After this the pig wouldn't boot past the BIOS start screen. I knocked her apart and reseated everything then it booted again. I have not had a BSOD in maybe years! Whats going on here Mates!

Re: Bsod!!!!
It happens.
I'd start by checking the voltage out of the power supply and checking for bad caps. Then I'd run memtest. Then run an antivirus scan. After that, run chkdsk /f. Then, run a stability test such as Prime 95 for a minimum of 24 hours. One of those ought to find it.
I don't know what good reseating would do, if everything was connected right to begin with. But since it worked, I would suspect that something was getting hot, and the time spent reseating it let it cool off. Check fans for dust buildup and functionality.A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. -
Re: Bsod!!!!
give some info about the hardware and age
imho any incident is going to become a bigger incident later which is why i never deliver a build with one error cos they always come back laterComment

Re: Bsod!!!!
well, what was the bdos?
what did it say?
you have extensive list on aumha
http://www.aumha.org/errors.htm
you can also use windows debugging tools, but let's hope that's not needed...if it's tough you'll send minudump and i'll take a look....
oh yeah, you can also take a look at even viewer under administartive tools(in control panel)
if it only happens while on the web, then you look at network interface...Comment

Re: Bsod!!!!
@ Junk: bsods happen for a reason, be it a voltage transient or an hardware issue. Pity you didn't note down the error message, it could have been useful.
However check the hardware: open the psu (if out of warranty), check caps on the motherboard, clean ram contacts and dust on heatsinks, clear the coms then test the computer according to acstech's instructions.
You may even update the network card driver if you suspect it's a network related error, however if doesn't happen again then it's temporary so don't worry too much.

Re: Bsod!!!!
Sorry guys but I'm not as good as you. When I saw it saying it stopped windows to protect the system I hit the power buttom and dumped everything. The warning did seem to concern a memory address but I could be wrong.

Just post the minidump file here if you want to know
it's in c:\windows\minidump"The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it."Comment

Re: Bsod!!!!
Per Hansson I would like to know what the error means but I can't find the c:\ windows\minidump file. Could this file be called something other than Minidump? This PC is a Dell Dimension 4550, and is running the Dell version of Xp Home that shipped with it.

Re: Bsod!!!!
Its fixed! I ran Prime95 for a few hours, and got no errors. I then cracked the case and wiggled things a bit. As soon as I touched one of the Ram sticks I got a BSOD. As it turns out, this stick of Ram has no markings on it so I don't know who made it. It seems to be just a little thinner than the Dell stick, and is loose in the slot. I grabbed the other stick out of the busted Dell which is a Dell stick and put it in this one. Now I can wiggle it and I don't get any BSOD's.

Found the sticker that was on the bad ram. I used Westley's Tire white to clean the old one up, and I guess it ate the glue up. It reads as follows:

LG Gram 15Z980 picked up on Ebay for $200 (was sold as parts because no M2 drive and bios pw locked), but otherwise intact and working.
Threw a 500gb M2 in, and was able to install Windows. On Gram, Win activation is stored in the bios, so Windows was automatically activated. I still kept getting random bsod's. Also bought a pw and unlocked the bios.
Upgraded Windows to 11, still didn't solve the random & frequent bsod's. Cleaned & reseated all cables, RAM, etc... still getting frequent bsod's. Bought & installed a new stick of RAM, still getting frequent... -

HI Folks, I have a problem randomly a BSOD screen appears in the event viewer indicates KernelPower failure, discard the source/memory and SSD, only the battery is in bad condition, it will be possible that the battery is causing this BSOD event , I mention it because the times he gave BSOD he happened to have the battery installed, and last Friday it ran all day without the battery installed and didn't generate any events

Hi folks. As the title says, I was doing a port replacement on a Lenovo Thinkpad T480s and in the process of post-solder cleaning, I somehow knocked off 2 or 3 diodes (i think they are diodes) near the main usb-c. I can't seem to find what kind of a diode is that. I know it's ultra tiny and just has a letter "G" on it. Would someone maybe have a proper schematic for the t480s model? I can only find the non-s one and it's quite different to the "s". Would love to figure out what component that is.
Thanks in advance!...
