Hi here is my problem : My computer turns on and when it is in Windows XP logo it turns off , but sometimes it works and 20 30 minutes and then it turns off again as it happened when i was writing this text xD . Funny thing is that if i have some CD/DVD , in my cd/dvd driver the computer when gets to windows XP logo goes down , or even if turn on computer without the cd , and then i put the CD in driver computer shuts down .
I read some things saying it can be the power supply ( dunno the name of it in english :$ ) .

Thank you very much , and sorry for my really bad english . Sorry if post is in wrong place

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

3 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. A third party driver has been identified to be causing system crashes on your computer. It is strongly suggested that you check for updates for these drivers on their company websites. Click on the links below to search with Google for updates for these drivers:

nv4_disp.dll (NVIDIA Windows XP Display driver, Version 280.26 , NVIDIA Corporation)

If no updates for these drivers are available, try searching with Google on the names of these drivers in combination the errors that have been reported for these drivers and include the brand and model name of your computer as well in the query. This often yields interesting results from discussions from users who have been experiencing similar problems.


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.




Guess its this what you have requested , thank you again for your help .

[rshaffer61]

Yep and it shows your video driver as being the culprit.
So lets try a experiment and see if it happens again.
Boot into Safe Mode With Networking and see if it crashes there. If not then the issue is the video driver and we may have to update it or uninstall the driver and reinstall it to resolve the issue.

Sorry for answering so late , but my computer just died
I turn on pc and when it is in windows logo , after that screen stays all black , i think it can be some video Card problem but im not really sure
So i cant exec computer as Safe Mode with Networking

Thank you

Offtopic : I have another question about buy some new pc components , Shall i open other topic

You should never reach the Windows logo if you have clicked the F8 key first and told it to ho to Safe Mode.
You should get lots of text scrolling by and then finally Windows will come up.
If you want to list parts I can assist you here.

And when i try to boot as normal mode , and after XP logo stays all black , may it be related or something about video card problem?

Thanks

[rshaffer61]

Could be but even if the video was bad you should still hear the little music that windows has started. Seeing you are getting a black screen with a blinking cursor suggest a OS issue.

Do you have a XP installation disk we can use for a Repair Installation?

[pzh]

When i start Windows as normal mode i dont get a black screen with a blinking cursor , it only happens when i start windows as Safe Mode .In normal mode i dont even have the blinking cursor .

And yup i do have Windows XP CD .

[rshaffer61]

Try this and see if it works.
