Pc help needed

[Thunder]

Hey guys

So I know I'll probably get some Crap for this being an IT guy myself but I'm out of ideas.

My personal pc keeps giving BSOD. Worked fine and then on a start up it just started.

I've checked hard drives and ram.

The error is a 0x7e error.

If I remove one ram chip I can get into safe mode. But that's about it.

Tried to repair with Windows repair but it just can't fix it. Tried with the windows DVD and then it just gives another BSOD with same main error but the rest is different.

Not sure what to do anymore.

Help please.

You can try removing the HDD and pluging it into a ext case or another pc as a slave drive and running a check disk on the hdd. if that does not work check your hdd settings on the bios screens switch it between SATA/IDE and try sometimes that will fix it:coolShake:

Do you get a ram beep if you boot up without Ram in the slots. If you get the beep try access safe mode and rollback the latest updates that took place. I had the issue where it was the nvidia driver causing issues.

Dis that put it in another 64 bit win 7 system checked and no problems found.

I just remove the one ram chip and then I can get to safe mode. Problem is there was no update done last time the machine was on.

sounds like hardware issue, try reset the BIOS, then try run the disk in the other machine as the master, if it works your motherboard has problems.

Hi there, can you list out your hardware specs?

What changed? Did you do driver updates?

First what happend in safe mode? Did it bsod? Start the system with only one ram module, try it in different ram slots.

This is most probably a driver issue, usually display drivers so I would suggest to uninstall and reinstall. What is the complete error you receive on bsod? Is it SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

First thing I tried was reset the bios. Dont have another machine on hand to run my drive as a master but did run it as a slave and it was good.

I can only get into safe mode when I run one ram chip. Took them out one by one so both slots work.

Didn't do any updates at all. Switched it off at work and when I put it back and switched it on at home it went to BSOD.

I had a similar issue towards the end of last year where my PC would boot into Windows and freeze 5-10 seconds after logging in to the OS. I"d then have to hold the power button in and force it to switch off (not the best thing for a PC). I spent hours changing the RAM, checking my drives and even going as far as re-seating all the cables, the Heatsync, CPU and applying new thermal Paste. Still the same issue.

I tried a System repair, nothing.
A Disk Repair, nothing.
:smashScreen:

After spending all those hours I did one thing to fix my problem.....I reinstalled Windows.
:rollsmile:

had similar issue with my old laptop, kept booting up with BSOD turned out to be corrupt hard drive, got new HDD plus fresh windows install running like a charm

I tried reinstalling the windows but as soon as it's suppose to show the first install screen I get BSOD.

Wouldn't it then also give errors when inserted into another pc as a slave? Coz I did a check and error repair all on a similar os system pc.

If your hard drive is shot it wouldnt bsod as a slave. Bsods occur as a result of memory issues. Try using it as a primary hdd in the other pc if it boots up fine it could be a ram problem. or some rare cases the ram port on the pc has a short.
Try the other pcs ram aswell. Let me know if it fixes anything.. Seeing as this was posted a while ago you probably have it fixed.

Also download blue screen viewer ant use it to read the blue screen text log that way you can get down to what is causing the bsod. Hope this helps.

To be honest I haven`t really tried anything again.

Last time I had a go it just gave me a black screen, no beeps no nothing even with just the board powered. No drives, no add on cards, no ram but still nothing.

So conclusion I think is the board is shot but no definite answer yet.

Thunder, what motherboard is it and what windows are you running? If you get into safemode, it must be driver or software related.

First things first, download a updated bios firmware for your motherboard, after that get into windows (safe mode) and delete all drivers. I am 95% certain this is pertaining to drivers. Could be a corrupt one.

You can also access your system log events to check what happened before the bsod. If a reinstall didn't work it might be that a setting in your bios is causing the issue, and the quickest way to fix is to remove the power cable and cmos battery, press the power button to drain all capacitors, reinstall cmos battery and boot.

I'm not sure how it could be driver related as no updates were done prior to getting the blues screen.

And as stated in previous post whatever was causing the BSOD has either died completely on caused something else to die as in don't get anything. Even when just powering up the mother board. No ram, nor graphics card and nor drives connected I get no bios beeps at all. So either the board has gone or something else. As this is the first time I've seen something like this happen.

Do you have the bios speaker on the moterherboard?

That bsod is an exception handle, bsods are thrown to save hardware but when started with the same error without fixing it, it can fry some goodies. As I said before, and someone has mentioned. Harddrives go bad, lose sectors and files become corrupt. In a case like this you allways check drivers and then do a chkdsk, if it was booting into safemode then it was definitely software related originally (safemode starts windows without drivers loaded).

In anycase. Goodluck

Some motherboards dont have internal speakers installed to beep at post if there is an error.
They require an external speaker.

Hard probelm to diagnose if everything isnt installed.

It can be the board in some cases.

Hard to say without having a spare board with the same chipset type.

What chipset is it 478 pin, lga775, lga1155, lga1150 ?
