Buy Windows 7 -- boot from disk -- install -- Problem solved

wtfisausername · « **Reply #4 on:** January 16, 2010, 09:30:17 AM »

try accessing safe mode n see if recovery console or somethin similiar could help

if u installed xp n still have the disk, then try the repair option.

vista/7 use the repair option on startup n see if that helps.

you could always install windows again using a different partition or folder, that way u dont have to delete ur files, but ur prog wouldnt b there. then delete the old windows installation. u got alot of options to backup files tho

bios wont help, unless u were tring to overclock or something.

when does the blue screen pop up n what is the code. what windows r u using.

i would never recommend upgrading to vista, and i wouldnt buy/install 7 on a old pc (not sure what u have)

it kinda looked like that.
everytime it happened i was on teh net. actually ive had it before. but i was able to restart it back up. now it just starts up the windows xp scroll bar and 2 seconds in it flashes the bsod

Start the computer, and right after the BIOS screen, keep pressing F8. When the different boot options for Windows come up, go down to the one that says "Do not restart on boot failure" or something like that.

When it blue screens, write down the code and tell us what it is.

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 16, 2010, 02:03:12 PM »

There's always a second line. See the pic you linked to before? See where it says "gv3.sys"? That's where it'll say what causes the BSoD.

budgray19 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 16, 2010, 02:06:11 PM »

no thats it.

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 16, 2010, 02:14:36 PM »

Put in an XP disk and recover it using that. That's the best I can suggest.

aquatsr · « **Reply #16 on:** January 16, 2010, 04:24:29 PM »

You have a quad core q6600 and you're using Windows XP 32-bit? How much ram do you have in that system?

budgray19 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 16, 2010, 04:40:56 PM »

Naw I was just asking. If you upgrade to 4 GB be sure to upgrade your OS to Win7. XP will see the 4GB but utilize less.

budgray19 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 19, 2010, 10:15:27 AM »

i know. im going to use th 2 gigs and get windows 7 then new mobo and upgrade ram.

XP can see 4GB and utilize 4GB. ALL Operating Systems can use more than 4GB and use it all.

32bit OS's can only use ~3.75GB.
64bit OS's can use all of the RAM you have (up to, I think, 64GB or something).

jacobia jacob · « **Reply #21 on:** January 19, 2010, 01:55:26 PM »

ram limits for 64bit windows 7 are based on the version you install sooo

Starter: 8GB
Home Basic: 8GB
Home Premium: 16GB
Professional: 192GB
Enterprise: 192GB
Ultimate: 192GB

i'm curious though, why would you ever need 192gigs of ram?

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 19, 2010, 04:16:34 PM »

Server...

I'm not sure where the hell I got 64GB from... LOL

for a server you'll probably use Windows Server 2008 R2
which can go to 2TB ram

(the Enterprise, Datacenter and Itanium-Based versions that is

)
