Computer Problem...?

Question

Hey i have a problem, first of all, i have a really good and not so old computer and with vista on it, so ok all of the sudden my computer crashed, it showed this blue screen, not overheating but it said that if this has happened more than once i should remove any newly installed software and disable some bios thing, well this blue screen is always popping up, sometimes when i have just started up the computer and sometimes after a while, then also when this screen comes i turn off my computer and start it, sometimes it doesn't start! sometimes it just shows a black screen, this not starting up and blue crash screen is getting more and more common i have tried to remove some newly installed software but it doesn't work, when it doesn't want to start it's not a power problem, everything turns on all lights, fans, noise, everything but just a black screen!, no screen problem but computer problem, when i start my computer i'm supposed to here a beeb and then it starts but i don't here any

Answer 1

The beep that you are missing is to let you know that the system has passed Power On Self Test (POST)...sounds like it could be a motherboard fault here. one way to test it is create a condition in which you know your system should fail POST....for example....with the power off....remove the RAM....all of it....and attempt to start your computer...at this point your system should be screaming at you saying that it failed POST...this is a good thing...this means your motherboard is still good... If you have multiple RAM sticks....try removing only one of them to see if the problem can be recreated....could be something as simple as replaceing a faulty ram stick.....



I have also seen Video cards cause system failures (rarely but it happens) ...An overheating GPU will cause a BSOD event. Check into that while you are there.. It should get no hotter than your CPU.



Happy troubleshooting....

The only way that I beat the computer pulling stunts like that was to system restore back to original factory settings. I have Vista also and I tried every trick you could come up with. Everything just made it worse! In the end that was the only thing that finally fixed it. So far it's been two weeks and I haven't had any problems.

Answer 3

You've got the same problem as mine... this can depend on nearly everything on your PC...every RAm, hard disk, processor, motherboard, drivers, OS... a conflict can come in any of them. This is usually done by the OS or the drivers. Reinstall Vista, and check all parts for any problem.

P.S.; I've not figured out the problem in my PC yet, so i'm getting rid of this. In your case turn it with a technician.

Answer 4

You might have a corrupted vista install or your hard drive is corrupted. Installing a fresh copy of vista could fix this problem... is the hard drive making any uncommon sounds?

Answer 5

Based on what you are saying. It's tough to determine what the difficulty is. You didn't say whether or not you're making use of High velocity or dial or wi-fi. If you're making use of a wi-fi web, it might be sign barrier difficulty. If you're making use of High velocity, it might be adware difficulty, if dial up, might be bandwidth difficulty. If you have been making use of you pc good enough earlier than. I do not feel it is pc difficulty. Modem energy surge difficulty may be feasible.

Answer 6

that beep is to tell you the BIOS ha loaded up, try re-installing the OS or if you have £40 buy 100gb hdd for it and try installing it on that.....



I would ALWAYS stick with Windows XP PRO as it dont crash as much as VISTA...!



Anyway - hope this helps...

Answer 7

Have you installed any new hardware? Maybe it isn't hooked up right. Try doing a scan of your computer something may be wrong with your hard drive.

Answer 8

blue screens r normally a hardware driver fault in which u need to download or reinstall new drivers forthe hardware that causes the conflick
