Hi all,

Like most people who use vista there experience is riddles with troubles....mine too!
I logon to windows and guaranteed I will have some sort of BSOD, it's very rare that I don't.
My machine is built by myself (this is the 4th I've built so I know my hardware), the BSOD range from the following codes:

0x0000001a
0x0000003b
0x000000fa
0x00000024

They're rarely the same twice!
I ran a memtest around 2months ago everything turned up ok....i'm running another this morning whilst I'm at work just to make sure.

The other problem I get is whilst running vista is that I keep getting vista service messages popping up saying that 'This Microsoft service has stopped running' things like 'superfetch' (causing my aero on vista to disable????), 'COM service', 'DNS service' some other 'protocol service' etc. etc

Some of these pop up and soon as I hit the desktop after typing in my password.
Anyways I persevered cos i get the odd good day and most of teh services don't affect my work.....I recently purchased a new hard drive for my work and did a fresh install of vista in the hope it would sort the problem.....same thing is happening, and that was after a fresh install!

I even tested windows 7 rc1 out 1 but was getting an install error on one of my main bits of Autodesk software....error 1335 max.cab cannot be found or is corrupt?????.....thinking this was win7 I put vista on and I get the same error????

This cant be a hardware problem as surely I would be getting consistent errors all the time....there are some days where nothing goes wrong and I have around 4-5 bits of 3d and compositing software running at the same time....it's almost like it performs better when its doing loads of stuff!

My PC specs are below:

AMD Phenom II X4 2.5ghz (cpu)
Asus M3a32-MVP deluxe wifi (motherboard)
8GB RAM
ATI Radeon 3870 X2 2048mb (Graphics card)
Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatality1 (sound card)
2 x Seagate 1TB 32mb cache (hard drive)
Western Digital 1TB 32mb cache (hard drive)
3 monitors (26" and two 19")

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated, i'm pretty certain it's not hardware related?!?!

Thanks

Sonder!

Hi -

The presence of multiple bugchecks usually points to hardware.

0x1a = severe memory management error
0x3b = system service exception -- is the 1st parm inside the parenthesis 0xc0000005?
0xfa = http.sys is corrupted
0x24 = NTFS - hard drive

If the 0xfa is true, you may have have seen a 0x109 bugcheck - kernel code corruption. For 0x24, run chkdsk /r. For 0x1a, run memtest86+ 1 stick at a time and alternate slots.

To start from the software end, please follow instructions in the post -- post resulting zip files to your next post.

Run Vista SFC - System File Checker/ repair utility -
START | type cmd.exe into the start search box | right-click on cmd.exe | select run as Administrator | type the following:

[font=lucida console]sfc /scannow[/font]

Upon completion re-boot to allow files in use to be repaired.

Run SFC before following the instructions.

Thanks for the speedy reply jcgriff2, i'm currently running the memtest service, and I have ran CHKDSK a couple of times b4, whatever errors it finds it fixes!

I'll post my results for the other tests in the upcoming day or so!

Sonder!

Hi -

You're welcome. Take your time and allow the memory tests to finish. When you do post the attachments, please send me a PM and a link to this thread.
