Need help with previous thread

Hi Twayne, I can see the thread with Gerry.. not sure why they are long gone.. but I will try to answer again. yes it was a stop error and a blue screen it happened twice Not a big deal; they don't show here because I have messages I've read removed from the list. Otherwise there are too many to keep track of. I also keep them listed by thread, just in case you care; that's not important either, but still worth mentioning IMO. Yes I installed a sound card and a stick of ram the programs that I was running and know about are sygate, incredimail, avg, unlocker, and yahoo messenger I am sure there were plenty running in the background but don't have a clue what they were.. Yeah, it was programs you were running yourself I asked about. Usually, unless someone is running special programs, the background tasks are fairly standard for purposes of the question so not important at that point. Yahoo Messenger, for what it's worth, is less than "secure" and often a way for malware (viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, etc.) to get into your computer. If you use YM much, it would be a good idea to run your update anti-virus program for a full scan, and a minimum of 3 anti-spyware programs, also updated of course. And run all Full scans, not the abbreviated scans. I'm not saying it IS malware causing your problem, but it is good to know within as much certainty as can be gained that the problem isn't due to malware. If nothing is found, then that's a great sign that you probably have either a hardware problem someplace or file corruption. If it get to be too bothersome, it might come down to having to do a backup of your important data and then reinstall everything from scracth. Or a disk image if you have one or more you can try. I am confused..Why are you telling me only to converse in the newsgroup? I never conversed with gerry via email... his email is not real so how could I.. ? Hmm, sorry about that; something you said made me think you had sent him ten mails and he never responded. Normally on a newsgroup they're called posts, not mails or emails. I'm relying on my memory here; looks like just a misread/misspeak somewhere. I noticed you've used pcbanter.net too, so that might have something to do with the disconnect between you and gerry. I as surprised to see the long history of your posts. In general: If you've only had it happen twice, a couple of months apart, as I think you said, and it hasn't happened since, then if it doesn't happen again, you can probably forget about it. Usually that type of error points to a hardware problem but in my experience to date I've always found it boiled down to a software problem, usually with the operating system, causing something to think the hardware is bad. My advice at the moment, based on it only having happened twice and not in close succession, would be to relax and go about your computing days as normal. If/when it happens again, write down the data on the blue screen and any text words, visit any links that may pop up, note what errors are in the Event Viewer, and what you were doing just before it happened. Assuming you were at the computer, of course. Try to match up the information with previous information you've already collected in order to determine whether it's the same cause or not. It's extremely difficult to troubleshoot and pin down intermittant problems. Even when you find errors in Event Viewer logs, there's no real way to tell if the error was caused by the blue screen event or something entirely different most of the time. So, always try to catch the time the error happened too, so you can match it up to other error events and when they occurred. If they're in close proximity, then you may have found something relevant. If not within a few minutes of the time though, it's likely going to be something else. ARE your event viewer logs clean of errors? It makes troubleshooting a lot easier if they are. Assuming you get the blue screen event again, you could try: Removing the Sound Card, hardware AND software, especially the drivers. Going back to your old RAM to see what happens. If either stops the blue screens, then you at least know the culprit. But it's hard to tell sometimes when it's something that's not happening all the time. Intermittants are bitches to chase down.

It's not a good idea to converse with newsgroup participants via e-mail unless you actually know who they are. By staying on the newsgroup other people get to learn what's happening too, and to see the final outcome. You'll find most people in newsgroups use phony addresses anyway, as a protection against spam. HTH Twayne Rainy wrote: system just recoered from a serious error Gerry is trying very hard to help me. Gerry I really appreciate this, . but I don't think he is getting all his email. I have responded to all of his questions.. as a matter of fact I have responded 10 times.. One of his requests I didn't understand but corrected my answer as soon as I realized. He keeps asking me the same thing over and over again.. because he feels I have not responded or answered..
