BSODs Within the Past Few Weeks

Has anyone else noticed that BSOD reports have seem to have gone up the past few weeks or is it just me. I've even gotten emails from people that have bought their laptops from others on ebay wanting info.

It seems that some are fixed by updating the Intel wifi software, if so equipped. Others seem to be equipment failures but everything checks out. My wife's CF-18 has gone through several of these in the past two weeks. The first BSOD showed a problem with the wifi... I wanted to update her to the Engenius 600mW wifi card anyway... I swapped and still had the issue... So I went ahead and reformatted with the Recovery disks... She constantly complains that it is slow. It is only a 1.1GHz CF-18... I tell her they are built for durability not for speed. (One of her friends broke her last Sony Vaio by picking it up by the screen. I paid $450 for a new screen alone!)

Anyway... Now I get a brief BSOD on it that states (for about a 1/10th of a second!) STOP Registry File Failure...

I tried to take apicture but it came out a little blurry but it says something about the registry "cannot load the hive file"

I'm wondering if M$ has a conspiracy to make everyone buy new PCs or update to W7.....

Anyone else?

 

I just updated to 13.0.0.0 on my CF-30 with my 4965AGN and no problems yet... XP Pro SP3... I think it's a user error Rick

 

Not with 10 people reporting all different stuff....

 

I realize that you are talking about the later models but I am happy to report no problems with my cf-28. I am on it several times a day turning it off and rebooting between uses or hibernating.

 

Funny you should mention this.

Picked up a 29mk2 last week, loaded from the restore disks, +sp3 and updates over the wired network. enabled wireless in the bios and started getting BSOD's. disabled wifi and no BSOD's. Updated to the Intel 12.x.x.x drivers, and all better.

don't recall seeing this problem in the past. some sort of date issue in the driver perhaps? or related to a recent microsoft patch?

I am getting a Bug Error at times when I am shutting down. I think it is something to do with a USB Hub? I do not run any Intel stuff for my wireless. That Proset stuff makes me wanna throw the computer!

 

Hmm we had 3 cf-18's go down recently due to BSOD's all within a few days of each other. No idea what the problem is as they are fire's computers which means most likely PEBKAC.

 

??? Don't know what "PEBKAC" means

 

PEBKAC. Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair

(L)user error?

I hav'nt the problem yet, but if I have it I want to know what to do...

 

I always heard it as having, "A loose nut between the seat and keyboard"... Sometimes if you tell someone that and say it professionally enough... They STILL think you are talking about their computer. These are usually the ones that have the most problems with their PC!

 

Well... I don't see a way around this with my wife's CF-18... It Black Screens no matter what... And I JUST reformatted it from factory restore disks not one week before... Of course sucking up all the MS updates at the same time. The next time she goes to use it... It black screens after I tell her she's not going to believe the speed of her new wifi card. I ducked as she threw it at me and have now finished patching the hole in the wall. j/k

But this really POs me to no end... It is a registry string issue and all anyone can say is that it may or may not be MS fault. Some say it is then retract their claims. The Blue Screen having to do with the Intel drivers APPEARS to be caused by the same group of MS updated of Nov 10th (or so) but I'm not 100% sure. I still think they are tired of people loving XP and want to push people to W7.... And NO.... I am not a "Grassy Knoll" theorist....

I was about to remove the 100GB, 7200RPM Hitachi hard drive and reformat it again with an 80GB, 5400 Hitachi from a recent CF-29 purchase... Just to rule that out.... Then STOP MS updates and let her go... I have a good firewall, we don't surf the bad spots and I have a secure system...> So I really don't care.

 

I have also seen two BSOD related to failure to write or update hive failuer lately. I am also beginning to suspect that XP is too "stable" for Microsoft's economic welfare!
