BSOD instal XP


Recommended Posts

Background,

I have had some problems with unexcpeted reboots, frezzes. The resultt in a instable computer, and now it dosen't both up (if it have been cool for a day it was possible to get in but then it crash...i had the chance to back up my stuff). Before the computer has ben up running more less without problem for several months, regularly memtested.

 

I memtest the memory for 8h no error - Anyhow I tried to reinstal XP home ed. but get BSOD.

 

Clear Cmos and flash 623-3 I did a 9h clean Cmos as well, seems to have been succesful and I can go into it etc and run memtest for 9 h no errors but when I uptry to instal XP I once again get;

 

A BSOD telling something went wrong loading the file otffspot.sys.

Page_fault_in_nonpage_area

*** Stop: 0x00000050 (0xF7cf658c, 0x00000001, 0xF76E545B, 0x00000003)

*** tffspot.sys - F76E545B base at F76E5ooo, Data stamp 3B7D841a

 

Update: I solved this when I remove RAM and wipe the hard drive.

The system felt a little unstable, windows boot hang a couple of time at the blue welcome screen.

 

New problem occure after I put in the secon ram in slot 4, windows didn't boot up and restart the computer almost direct. I cleard Cmos, first boot stopat two red lights th second try stop at one red no beep.

 

I took out boot memory, swap em an put one back on second slot both up to windows, both stick could both from first slot but not from 1&3. Put them both back in 2&4 (orange) boot up yes :)

 

:( Happy me playd an hour last night and went to bed, in the mornig I start up the computer no problem but after I run Panda and find three "tracking cookies or virus" so I go furthur to read the info on their webb page using the direct link, BIG PROBLEM the computer hang, after a wheil I cold boot. Then I trid to get in again and the first tries it just restart after a moment of loading XP but then it become black. :(

 

Things I done,

Change to 623-3 bios, done a clean XP install after a wiped HD, check the RAM no errors. I have run SuperPi (first try after intall it fail) but after restart the program no problem.

 

I am right now clearing Cmos, maybe it help but for how long? Please help me, is the mobo brooken?, the balistix? PSU? GPU? Is it the memory settings?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

when u reload the os, you will need to del the "c" partition, and then create it again, and then format.....this all has to be done, cause you cant wipe clean/format your os partition while in windows... :rolleyes:

My problem is that I can't get into XP, I try to reinstal XP but get BSOD.

So I try as Loweboy suggest to wipe C: without getting into OS, may fear is to lose my second partition E: where I have alot of nice stuff.

 

But my major problem with this thread is not how to wipe it is how to install Windows XP!

If you are carefull and only delete your "C:" system partition, then your "E:" partition will remain intact.

 

Have you done a surface scan on the hard drive to make sure the drive is still good?

If you're worried, maybe you'll be able to run a linux Live-CD like Knoppix or something similare to check and save what you want. Knoppix is actually a good rescue tool for Windows (I bet Bill doesn't like to hear that :nod: ).
