Hi there

My laptop has just BSOD twice again! It was working fine from the last time I posted to just about an hour ago.

The first time it BSOD it was the driver IRQL equal not less than equal message. The second time, it was something to do with fltrmgr.sys.

I don't think it's the RAM, as my friend who tested it for me last time said that was ok.

My hijackthis log is:

Thank you for your reply. Here are the results from WHO CRASHED.

Crash Dump Analysis

Crash dump directory: C:\Windows\Minidump

Crash dumps are enabled on your computer.


No valid crash dumps have been found on your computer


Conclusion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crash dumps are enabled but no valid crash dumps have been found. It may be that there are problems which prevent crash dumps from being written out. Check out the following article for possible causes: If crash dumps are not written out.

In case your computer does experience sudden reboots it is likely these are caused by malfunctioning hardware, power failure or a thermal issue. To troubleshoot a thermal issue, check the temperature using your BIOS setup program, check for dust in CPU and motherboard fans and if your computer is portable make sure it's located on a hard surface. Otherwise it's suggested you contact the support department of the manufacturer of your system or test your system with a memory test utility for further investigation.

Check out the following articles for more information: Troubleshooting sudden resets and shut downs.

Read the topic general suggestions for troubleshooting system crashes for more information.

Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is actually responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

Remove old Adobe readers.
You need to remove all old java versions as they are a security risk.



Go HERE and update you nic driver.
Right side drop down menus.
First window choose Vista 32 bit version
Second drop down window choose 88e8040
Click Search
A new window will pop up. Scroll down to the 7th driver which will be the Vista 32 bit driver version 11.41.3.3 and click to download.
This may be the cause of all your errors for TCPIP

[Elle8]

Thank you.

How do I know which are the old adobe and javas and also where do I go to remove them?

Sorry, I don't know much about Vista (or pcs for that matter).

Also, I've downloaded the zip file. I've extracted it and there are several other files: .cat, .inf, .sys. Which one do I double clik on please?

Sorry to ask simple questions.

Thank you again.

Please download JavaRa from the link in my signature below to your desktop and unzip it to its own folder

• * Run JavaRa.exe, pick the language of your choice and click Select. Then click Remove Older Versions.
  * Accept any prompts.
  * Open JavaRa.exe again and select Search For Updates.
  * Select Update Using Sun Java's Website then click Search and click on the Open Webpage button.
• Download and install the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version for your computer.

[Elle8]

Done the Java thingie. Thanks.

[rshaffer61]

What I would suggest is Uninstalling All Programs you don't need or don't want anymore through Add/Remove Programs

Do this by going to

Start and then to Control Panel
Click Add/Remove Programs
Make sure to click the box at the top of the window that says Show All Updates
Carefully choose the program(s) you don't need Adobe Acrobat Reader old versions
Click on each Program then click Change/Remove and Follow the Uninstall Instructions

You may be prompted to Restart your computer.
Restart once you have all the programs you don't need uninstalled.
Be careful not to remove anything needed by your computer, some of which you may be unfamiliar with the name,

Hi

I've uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled the latest one. It seemed easier as I was getting confused.

How do I know if I've installed the driver correctly please?

Anything else I should do?

Thanks

[rshaffer61]

Driver as in what?
Adobe is not a driver but a program.
You can open Adobe and then go to Help at the top and see if it has a About Adobe option.
Click that and it will tell you if the version you have installed.

[Elle8]

Hi

Thanks.

It's version Adobe X 10.1.0.

Sorry, the reference to the driver was related to your earlier comment to download the nic driver and my following question 'Also, I've downloaded the zip file. I've extracted it and there are several other files: .cat, .inf, .sys. Which one do I double clik on please?'

Thanks!

[rshaffer61]

Trying going to Device Manger.
Right click on the nic driver and then click Update Driver.
That should then allow you to point it to the now downloaded driver you got and it should find what it needs there.

[Elle8]

Thanks. I'm looking at Device Manager but I can't see anything saying nic driver.

[rshaffer61]

Network or Lan would be the entry you are looking for.
