how to pause or freeze a quickly flashing screen?
I’ve tried unsuccessfully the following keys: Pause/Break, Esc, ctl/break.
I’ve also tried unsuccessfully to capture the screen using: print screen & ctl/c. I did finally see the screen by continually pressing F8 key after booting until the “Advanced Startup Options for Windows” screen displayed whereby I selected “Disable Auto restart on system failure” & then the blue screen with text displayed & stopped during the display whereby I was able to read the text, but the screen did not give me a means to advance past that screen, so I powered off. The following is the text from that blue screen: “A problem has been detected & windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If this is the 1st time you’ve seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this appears again, follow these steps: Run a system diagnostic utility supplied by the hardware manufacturer. In particular, run a memory check, & check for faulty or mismatched memory. Try changing video adapters. Disable or remove any newly installed hardware & drivers. Disable or remove any newly installed software. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, & then select Safe Mode. Technical information: Stop. Oxoooooo7F ox00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 ox00000000. Beginning dump of physical memory.” I’ve not tried to follow the above screen text because when I took my PC to a help counter person and they plugged it in, my problem did not happen & the PC worked just fine. But when I took the PC home & turned it on, my same problem repeats. I’ve tried to figure why this happens. The only difference is that the help counter did not use my power cord, they used their’s. So I took my power cord to a help counter where they tested the cord & stated the cord is ok. Anybody got a suggestion as to why different results? The device manager does not show any conflicts/problems. Thank You, Bevy_Jeter "philo" wrote: "Bevy_Jeter" wrote in message ...

I would suspect one or the other. You could try taking it back again to see if was just a fluke that it worked there. |

how to pause or freeze a quickly flashing screen?
After several Windows crashes and blue screens on my laptop I found your site,Following your advice I unplugged cord and batterry and gave both memory cards a reset. It looks like it did the trick. After reconnecting batterry and power cord my laptop came back to life. I had to re-enter most of my passwords, but it is a small inconvenience.
Thanks for the great advice. A.
