Solve : XP Blue Screen? |
|
Answer» I RETURNED to work after a short leave and found out my workstation is back to WinXP. When starting the MACHINE for the day's work, WinXP gets blue screen during the splash screen and shortly resets itself so I dont get to read the error msg. On following startup attempt everything gets going smoothly with little fuss when prompting to Start Windows Normally. What could be the cause for this? Im kinda scared to lose everything once again if this goes on every day. I returned to work after a short leave ... Doesn't your employer have an IT department? Should you be even thinking of fooling with this machine? Good Point... From our Forum guidelines: Quote If this is a machine at your place of Business, we need to be informed beforehand. This is also not negotiable and we will not be responsible should you fail to do so.We dont have IT policy in our office. We were just given reminders to keep everything in running condition, so this is a matter of tacit agreement. Just keep the company data safe, which I've been doing since the last time I had a machine dilemma. I've discussed this matter earlier and my boss just ordered weekend data backups. They won't care about the equipment, just the database. Im not seeing any violation whatsoever (But I do care about starting from scratch again, if its going to be the case) Anyway, i did what patio told me to do and I was able to write down the BSOD msg. It says UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME with tech info STOP: 0x000000ED (0x85F0D900, 0xC000009C, 0x00000000, 0x00000000). Im still able to get into Windows in the second reboot without any fuss. I just remembered this is the exact drive which died out on me a few months back and 'came back to life' when I reconnected it after a while being unused. I proceeded to use the drive right away (cant remember if i re-partitioned it after i found out it's still usable) and it started giving me the BSOD lately. What could be the prob here? Is there any present physical defect on the drive or what? Am I DOOMED to lose this installation once more once it fails on me again?DLoad and run the Free diagnostics from the HDD manuf. site... Use it to create a bootable CD ( cleanest test method since the OS isn't invovlved ) In the meantime start planning a backup strategy as the drive may need replaced. Only other thing it can point to in this is the drive's data cable...you can try a new one. |
