Windows XP Boot Problem on Splashscreen
 |
Hi, I recent had some trouble booting windows XP. It was fine when i turned it off one night then the next day i started getting BSOD when windows reached the splashscreen.
I uninstalling windows XP and reinstalling it but i still get the same BSOD.
Strange thing is i can get on windows as long as im in the safe mode. Which im in now.
I have scanned my computer with software reccomended to me in the virus section but the results returned no viruses found.
The BSOD error is as follows
STOP: 0x0000007F (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
I looked up the error and found it was caused by a driver or hardware. Im using a laptop which has a faulty DVD/RW drive so i removed that and it seemed to fix the problem for a day or so.
However earlier today i recieved the same BSOD and again windows fails to boot at the splashscreen.
Once it reaches the splashscreen it will quickly flash to a BSOD then restart the computer.
I disabled automatic restart and was able to get the error code.
On the Recovery Console i repaired the disk and was told that one or more error had been solved but the computer still fails to boot up windows XP.
I would appreciate any help that you guys can give me.

One of the following two errors would explain why it freezes on the splash screen.
1. Either a physical RAM error. RAM chips aren't forever, sometimes you get bad bits. A memory test should be able to tell you this. There is one on the Ubuntu Live CD. A certain degree of errors is acceptable, so dont get a heart attack if an error pops up. You will have to run the test a couple hours. If its not this,
2. your Operating system is corrupt. This happens more often than most people think. A system, especially one that is used a lot, needs a reload every once in a while. The corrupt OS would most likely cause a crash in the same place.
It is possible that it is some strange virus or incorrect driver configuration. Try a system restore if you can access it. Most likely it is one of the errors above.
I hope this helps.
Good luck

I'm trying a "long shot" suggestion which might not apply to your situation, but, here goes:
I have found that by unplugging the coomputer and waiting for about 20 seconds before attempting to re-start, problems of problematic "residual memory" can be cured. It could be that you have been unplugging your laptop before trying to re-boot, but the battery still is connected and saving errors that you want to get rid of.
I would suggest that you remove the battery from your laptop, wait a short while and then replace it and try to start up again.
I don't give any guarantees, but it is a simple enough cure to try.
Here's wishing you luck.

I would still go with one of the previous solutions. This scenario is very remote. Maybe one in a million startups.

The memory check is a very good place to start. If that passes fine you most likely have a hardware failure. It can be a video card problem or a modem problem. You could go into your device manager and disable anything you are not using (i.e. modem, wireless if you're using a wired connection, ect.) It can be drivers also...so be sure to get the correct drives for ALL your hardware. You could also try Ubuntu on it and see if it causes errors as well.
Hope this advice was helpful.
Please let the group know if you figure it out.

As I said--it's a long shot guess. I've never tried the solution with a laptop, but many times have successfully overcome booting problems this way with my desk top computer. When I unplug the power line from the mobo I count twenty seconds before reinserting the plug. The battery that retains the time-setting memory seems not to keep things going in the system memory.
As to grounding cautions when disconnecting the laptop battery, that comment is well in place. I took it for granted that the laptop would be turned off before attempting that step---your having called attention to it though, is certainly in place. Sometimes we take the most obvious for granted, when we shouldn't. An estra word of caution is always in place.
Bottom line: I still think it's worth a try.

This has a fairly good chance of working if it is the operating system. You should try this before formatting anything and installing XP from scratch.

Alright im trying some of those suggestions now. I was wondering tho. How come windows can boot into safe mode and not the normal boot. If there was a hardware failure would the safe mode not be broken aswell?
Update: I ran the repair of the xp CD but i still get the boot crash. Im going to replace the RAM now and see if that makes a difference.
