[SOLVED] Blue screen followed by startup blue screen

Jeorge7th · 11-29-2008, 03:33 AM

Hi

Blue screen appeared during idle operation - no major programs running. Computer dumped memory then restarted. Since then it has failed to boot into windows - will not even boot into safe mode.

Bios no probs, runs post no probs. LED error read out on mobo shows no errors - reaches FF (meaning boot successful i believe).

Have removed extra peripherals, and swapped out others to test. Still failing to boot into OS. Tried booting off cd to re-install/repair but it blue screens after files are copied over from cd.

Vista 64 bit
EVGA 680i SLI mobo
4 Gb nvidia SLI ram
EVGA 9800 GTS 640 Mb
Samsung 120 Mb hdd
Seasonics 700 watt psu

Any advice appreciated..

Cheers

Computer wont power up the screen at all now. No error beeps, and all case fans and cpu etc start up, and I reckon I can hear the hard drive starting as well, but no screen activity at all.

So no I can't get the original error code sorry..

Try booting from your windows cd and going into the recovery console. Run chkdsk /r from there.

Problem solved - two ram modules were faulty.
