I have used C-Cleaner caperjack, cause bennet sent it to me :P
I reinstall it again, seeing as EA have comeback with something new to try.

There is no setup.ini file, just a setup.exe, which i think is the problem. Also james i doubt its copy protection seeing as it installed the first time fine. I don't know what has gone wrong! ...

I have checked the disc as well as the drive, and no scratches or foreign bodies on it. I get that message when i first start up the installing process.

When trying to install the game Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath i get this error message;

"Error reading setup initialization file"

What does this actually refer to? After some googling i...

Please mark this thread as solved!

What happens if you have over 1Gb of RAM, i use 2Gb and used to get BSOD's , but it was nothing to do with Norts, it was due to some little piece of software. Speedbit are not good for playing games!

What numbers are shown next to the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL? The numbers can be used to find your problem more easily. Also what graphics card do/did you have in your computer when the BSOD occurred?

Don't use Norton internet security!
Most RAM draining application in existence!
Get AVG Internet security, much better and cheaper :)
I have had too many bad problems with Norton IS 2007. They...

Not CPU time, but RAM would get used a lot. CPU would get drained however if you ran a scan with them at the same time. Otherwise with normal running of your computer your RAM would get used up.

I use, Norts IS 2007 (although i hate the damn thing), AVG free, Spybot S&D and Comodo firewall, and no conflicts.

I mean your wireless Adapter/wireless card, which ever you use. not the router itself.

Well the 0x0000000A error code relates to the following:

This would mean that you have an incorrect driver for some...

Have you had the blue screen since? If you do get it again, please note down or take a picture with a camera of the error message that starts with "0x000....". Are you able to boot into Safe Mode? ...

Unfortunately yes. I would back up the data you want to keep on your hard-disk onto another hard disk, or other storage device. Such as DVD's/CD's or USB/Flash Drives.

What power (W) is your power supply?

If you are plugging your monitor cable into the motherboard of your PC, then you don't have a separate graphics card. If you do plug into a separate graphics card, then unplug it from the graphics...

So nothing appears when you hit F8? Strange, Have you accidentally removed any of the Power supply cables inside the machine? That could cause an issue like this.

Press F8 repeatedly otherwise the computer doesn't realise you want the boot menu to show up. Did you just press it once? Once you have pressed F8 a lot, then select the Safe Mode option press...

Are you able to boot into Safe Mode? Pressing F8 repeatedly at startup.

What Operating System are you running? It looks like Vista, but that's an old MS Word icon so i am guessing 2000? Please tell us your OS!

edit: On my PC XP, there is nothing matching that in...

Hi,
Are you sure that you have spelt the kqayfdfh.dll correctly? There are no matches to it anywhere that i have searched. Can you get a PrintScreen of the error message?

Yes a gfx card is short hand for graphics card = video card.

Yeah as Bennet said, we need to see the code that comes after the "irql_not_less_or_equal". Am i right in thinking that the screen goes Blue and the coding and text is in white? If so you have had...

Yeah this could be caused by dust as you suggested mjdodd. Turn off the power at the mains, hold down the power button for about 20~30 seconds to discharge any capacitors in the computer (to avoid...

What version of Windows are you reinstalling? If it is not SP2 then that would the cause. Have you done any significant Hardware upgrades since you have purchased the computer? Such as a new...

Take out any other PCI card you have a boot. Leave the gfx card in. Do you still get the freezing problem? Also try, moving your RAM sticks into each slot that you have, may be a RAM slot issue.

What is your computer? What are it's specs?
Can you boot into Safe mode (F8 at startup) to see if it will freeze then?

Could be a Virus/spyware causing this. If you find out the name of the process draining all of your resources, enter it's name into this handy website. (http://www.processlibrary.com/)

What is you computer! And what specifications does it have? RAM, CPU etc.
Also have you had viruses/spyware recently?

Well a PC Desktop is easiest to upgrade, some software doesn't work with Mac's (games for example), Mac's are better for graphics editing and music making. PC's have an all rounded performance. ...

My eMachines still works :P
I think i bought it in like 2004/2005 and only done 3 Hardware improvements, RAM, PSU, GFX card.

Back to your issue though, do you get any Blue Screens Of Death...

ooo speed is good :P
And i know what Beta means mate :D
At least i know now.

So Bennet would i even need to bother with SP3 then? SP2 works fine with no issues?
You waffled on about that Gold Master thing, what is it?

"Spybot - Search and Destroy" is a nice little Spyware & Malware hunter :)
I would recommend it over ad-aware to be honest, ad-awares scan took way longer than spybots scanner, and spybots version...

Try formatting the device. Connect it to your computer. Right click on it in "My Computer" and select "Format ...". Then follow the instructions to erase everything from the MP3 player.

What are the numbers that appear when the BSOD occurs. Those are the crucial things when finding out why your computer is BSOD-ing.
