Hello! I have been having some issues with my HP machine for the past few weeks, and have tried various fixes to no avail. I am at the end of my rope on this one, and would truly appreciate some guidance! Here are some details:

Computer came with Vista factory installed - ran fine for a few years, started getting blue screen errors - tried various fixes, nothing worked.

I ran:
memtest86 - overnight, multiple passes no errors
MBAM - nothing detected
HP Hardware diagnostics - no errors
chkdsk - no errors
seatools - no errors
enabled driver verifier, ran fine for a few hours eventually crashing to one of the same blue screens as before.

I updated every driver i possibly could - nothing. I tried to restore the computer to factory conditions using the rescue discs I had created (and used before without issue) - nothing. Still blue screen, more frequently now.

Frustrated, I installed Ubuntu 11.10 - this runs fine without error - I am even using it right now to type this. Because all of the tests passed without error, and I can Ubuntu just fine, I figured it may not be a hardware problem, so I ran DBAN (default settings) on my drive for about 8 hours (500GiB SATA Drive) to be sure it was clean, and then attempted to reinstall windows using a windows 7 SP1 trial disc instead of my rescue discs because I figured it was time to upgrade anyways.

Windows 7 installed just fine, But BAM! Blue screens again. I updated drivers, installed all available updates, but nothing works. it just kills itself. As of this moment, I am running Ubuntu 11.10 on one partition, and I have a very broken windows 7 install on another. I could boot into windows last night without too much trouble, although it crashed frequently. This morning however, it will not boot at all!

edit* I will add, that on top of the windows 7 install I did install Google chrome,Nvidia Control panel(to update drivers), Adobe Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Fireworks CS5.

I would love to just be done with it and move onto ubuntu until I can purchase a new machine, but I rely upon the Adobe Master Suite for work, and I cannot get it to work in WINE, so I will need to continue using windows, if only for those applications. I have attached all of the minidump files from the windows side, and I can make some sense of them, but would love to have some guidance from the pros! Please help me! Thanks in advance!

Hi -

What Windows 7 trial disc did you use?

Was it this one - http://technet.micro...center/cc442495

If not, wipe HDD again and install W7 Enterprise.

Or, you can see if updating these drivers helps:

Thanks a million for the fast reply and resources! I will update all of those drivers, and I will also burn off the version you suggested right away, and report back. Thanks again!

Edit* I used the trial version found here: http://www.softpedia...Windows-7.shtml

Edit* Hello again! I formatted the HDD and installed using the enterprise .ISO and all seems well thus far. There was an issue installing a couple of the windows updates, but other than that it seems fine. I am running Verifier at the moment, and will install a few CS5 trials and play around a bit to see what happens. Thanks again!

Edit* System froze - no blue screen - attempting to install Google Chrome. CS5 Installs went fine.

Hello again! I was able to use the system for a while, but after being AFK for about 30 mins, I returned and found there had been another Blue Screen O' Death! I have attached the dump - there is a reference to a bugcheck code (totally new to bluescreenview, but trying to learn) , and looking up the code I found references to bad RAM - I did run memtest86 overnight with no errors before running DBAN and starting again, but I have not tested each stick individually due to my success at running Ubuntu 11.10 for days on end with no problems.

At this point should I even worry about testing each stick by itself? I have 2 1Gig sticks, and 2 512MB Sticks, both came factory installed and I have not modified a single aspect of the hardware, other than the addition of peripherals - none of which have been connected yet to this install.

Thanks for all of your help thus far - It's running stable enough with Enterprise for me to get a bit of work done, MUCH better than things have been the past few weeks.

Hello! Thanks for the reply! Here are the results of analysis from WhoCrashed - it detected more dumps than were showing in the minidump folder, i rebooted and now I can see there were more than one! I can paste the contents of the dump files from bluescreenview if that will help too - thanks for your help!

In view of the fact that you were experiencing problems with Vista and are now having problems with Windows 7, it is important that we attempt to separate the two.

Lets start please, unless you KNOW the answer for certain by verifying that the computer can run Windows 7.
As it ran Vista the answer is more than likely YES
However go here please and check.
http://www.microsoft...us/default.aspx
unless I say you already have.

I believe that HP Pavilion 6333w came with the two Igb sticks and the two 512 sticks, am I correct please.
If so and despite it running on Ubuntu and you running Memtest please take out the two 512 sticks and run it with the 2 Igb sticks, one stick in each channel.
See how it is then please.
If still experiencing crashes, please run it with I of the 1Gb sticks and one of the 512 sticks populating ONLY ONE CHANNEL
If still a problem please change the 1Gb in use and test and if still a problem please change the 512 in use.
If you then reach a situation whefre it does NOT crash, replace the ram that IS IN USE, with the sticks that are NOT in use, ONE at a time please.

NB read your post 4 now. - not modified

I ran the advisor, and it identified a driver - the Nvidia graphics driver - as being in need of update. I had already updated it to the recommended version, but for some reason it is not being reflected at all in the system. I have just updated the driver, and will start to test the RAM as suggested - thanks!

Edit* Other than the single issue regarding the Nvidia driver, everything else was fine according to the advisor.

Edit* Running on just the Single Gig RAM (x2) at the moment - attempted to duplicate the conditions prior to the last crash (installing google chrome while listening to an .MP3 with 2 tabs open in IE 9) and I was able to install Chrome just fine this time, and my tunes are still running - no crashes just yet. I will Load up a graphics editor and lay around for a bit to see what happens. Thanks again!

You are welcome I am signing off as it is 0212 and I am in the UK
Back about 1800hrs.

Nvidia drivers are mostly these days - simple to install and you no longer need to uninstall before you install an update driver.
HOWEVER you do still need to uninstall ancilliary Nvidia utilities downloaded BEFORE you install the driver.
If you go back and look at the instructions on the Nvidia site you will see what I mean.

Sorry about missing at first the details of the ram and the model of HP , however did spot it and edited my post.

I will check when I return to see how you are going.

NB re the ram if all Ok as it is, you need to test with ONE of the 1Gb and ONE of the 512.
If you go dual channel you must balance it.
It is all about getting four pieces of card and labelling them
ONE - I GB
TWO 1Gb
THREE 512
FOUR 512.

Sorry if that sounds insulting, but if you do NOT do that or similar, you will soon forget which has been in which slot with which other stick.
YOU simply then on the pieces of card endorse as you test eg. 1 with 3 OK.
etc.
The only trick then is to make sure the stick goes back on the correct piece of card.

Good night.

Not insulting at all! I totally understand - and that is exactly what I did - made sure to note which slot each came from. We are working with a lot of variables here, so I wanted to make sure all my tests are as well documented as I can make them. My ultimate goal is to not only fix my system without replacing it if I have to, but to learn as much as possible in the process. The more I "learn to fish" so-to-speak, the more I can help others, and contribute to communities such as this

Thanks again! Sleep well!

Hello again! after pulling the 2x512MB RAM sticks and running all night, I came downstairs this morning and the computer was still up and running just fine. I will be putting it through some paces today, I have a few design projects to catch up on, so I will see how it holds up - seems stable thus far! Thanks again!

You are welcome.
All the more so because you are so clearly appreciative.
A few people do not even bother to reply or say thank you.

All the best and come back of course whenever you wish.

I can't see how someone could take another's help for granted, how selfish and assuming. Not only do I appreciate it whole-heartedly, but my entire family thanks you for the help! Without a working windows install I cannot do my work, I am self-employed and rely upon quite a few windows-only applications. It has been almost 3 weeks since I have been able to collect on any of my invoices due to non-completion of the work, and boy do we need it! I have been happily working on everything without a hitch all day so far! Once again, THANKS A MILLION!

Well, I think it is safe to call this one solved! I haven't encountered a single issue, and the pc has been running and updating just fine - even when I am listening to music, running multiple tabs in 2 or more browsers and using Illustrator, Fireworks and various other apps simultaneously. Thanks again - you really saved my hide on this one! Woohoo!

Thanks for posting the final result.

If you are thinking of increasing the ram to take account of the lost 1Gb in the two 512Mb. The best advice is to match exactly the 2 1Gb sticks that are in.
Then run with 4 Gb albeit 32 bit windows will only actually see approx 3.5Gb
Or you can of course wait and decide in the light of future plans.
