Unhappy blue screen... getting worst.
Started about 2 weeks ago. At first I thought it was video card as monitor was showing crazy colors etc. then it started to reboot, and come back in safe mode. I tried system restore, various dates.
One of error message lines, mentions ..display drivers setting?
I am now in safe mode network.
Is there a way to identify problem ? and fixe it?

Thanks

You may be able to isolate the problem using "clean boot" techniques.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 << written for Vista, but applies equally well to XP

But also upload the minidump as detailed below.



I can run a debugging utility on the dump files if you do this:

1 > create a new folder on the desktop and call it "dumpcheck" or whatever you like
2 > navigate to c:\windows\minidump and copy the last few minidump files to that folder. *this assumes 'c' is your boot drive, if it is not, subsitute accordingly
3 > close the folder and right click on it and select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder.
4 > use the "manage attachments" in the "advanced" reply window to upload that zip file here as an attachment.

This might point us to a 3rd party driver causing the error, if one exists for it.

i would do startup repair, and a system restore if your computer cant start.

This solved my problems.
