April 22, 20159 yr Most of the time Blue screens are caused by RAM or driver issues. Next time you get the blue screen note the error and post. This will tell us what is causing it. http://www.extremetechsupport.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/5569ad19ed3164831fb4dda6815a627f.png']http://www.extremetechsupport.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/5569ad19ed3164831fb4dda6815a627f.png[/url]
April 23, 20159 yr yes cindy i am getting a blue screen error with dmp file I had something like that and paid a tech to fix it. Sorry, I can't seem to find the invoice listing what he did. Less than a week later, the same thing happened! It involved too much of a hassle to take my computer to the tech again, so I snooped around the o/s (XP Pro). WinPatrol PLUS had the following in Startup: - Kernel Fault ck dumprep O - K; "file does not exist." - Cookienator; "file does not exist." I deleted: - both items from Startup, and - Cookienator from Add/Remove Programs I did a Search to confirm that neither were still on the computer. Everything has been fine ever since (~4 months)! Apparently "Kernel Fault ck dumprep" was not something new. I found this via Google: http://forums.techguy.org/virus-other-malware-removal/466130-kernel-fault-check.html This may not help, but just in case ...... Good luck!
April 23, 20159 yr I had something like that and paid a tech to fix it. Sorry, I can't seem to find the invoice listing what he did. Found it. Problem was a bad RAM module, which was replaced. Inexpensive hardware, but time-consuming diagnosis. But, as I posted earlier, the problem returned a short time later which I somehow managed to fix (see previous post). Again, good luck!
April 27, 20159 yr thanks lina You're welcome, Rachet! I'm far from being computer savvy, but I suggest you: - check startup to see if something is in there that should not be (solved my problem second time I got a blue screen error with dmp file). That will only cost you a little time and effort. If that does not resolve the problem: - follow through with GimboV's suggestion (he mentions RAM, which is what the tech replaced on my computer the first time I got a blue screen error with dmp file): Most of the time Blue screens are caused by RAM or driver issues. Next time you get the blue screen, note the error and post. This will tell us what is causing it. Again, good luck!
May 4, 20159 yr Ratchet, have you resolved the blue screen problem? Just in case I get the same blue screen again, I would appreciate knowing what you tried and whether or not you were successful. Thanks!
