When did the problem begin, and did you ever try "system restore" to resolve it?


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 %systemroot%\minidump and copy the last few minidump files to that folder.%systemroot% is normally c:\windows. They are numbered by date. You can paste that address in address bar to get there.
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 non-system driver causing the error, if one exists for it.

Since almost all bugchecks can be caused by faulty ram, I would recommend you perform memory tests.

Ok, let's start with one thing at a time.

If the problem began recently do this:

1 > Select Start > Run, and enter msconfig in the "open" field and click "OK"

"msconfig" should open.

2 > Select "Launch System Restore"

... "restore my computer to an earlier time" should have a bullet in it.

3 > Click "next"; a calendar will appear.

4 > Select a date atleast several days before the problem began and then click "next" again.


>> have all other programs closed before you begin doing this. The computer will reboot as part of the process. It usually takes less than 10 minutes.

When you get to the desktop you will be told whether system restore completed successfully or not.

These also have an "undo" feature should you decide you don't want to keep the restore.

Be advised that using System restore will effectively delete any recently installed programs -- so you may want to consider this if you have spent money on new programs -- although you should be able to reinstall them -- or, if the restore does not resolve the problem -- undo the restore.

>> If this procedure is not a practical one for you, you will have to let me know specifically what parts of the 4 step procedure for creating and uploading a minidump file you are having problems understanding.
