Hey guys, I was sent here by the Microsoft BSOD forum, since they thought these bluescreens may be related to some kind of infection. My old thread is here:
hxxp://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f299/blue-screens-on-boot-1004498.html
Basically on boot, the computer immediately bluescreens and restarts itself. I was able to boot into safemode, but then my buddy just took a look at it and got a bit overzealous with uninstalling drivers to try and get rid of the BSOD, and now it can't boot into safe mode or with the last known good configuration either. I do have access to Windows installation media, and can burn other boot disks as needed. Since I couldn't boot it though, I can't run dds.scr... is there any way to run it from a boot disk or something?
Finally, I'll copy here the details about my laptop from the other thread:
· OS - Windows Vista Home Premium
· x86
· What was the original installed OS on the system? - Windows Vista Home Premium
· Is the OS an OEM version (came pre-installed on system) or full retail version (YOU purchased it from retailer)? - OEM
· Approximate age of system (hardware) - don't know (not my computer)
· Approximate age of OS installation (if you know) - don't know
· Have you re-installed the OS? - No
· CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo T6500
· Video Card - doesn't show up in dxdiag
· MotherBoard (if NOT a laptop)
· Power Supply - brand & wattage (if NOT a laptop)
· System Manufacturer - Dell
· Exact model number (if laptop, check label on bottom) - PP41L
Thank you so much in advance for any help or direction you might be able to give me!
