Vista start up problem

[Frostmourne]

In safe mode, all services are reduced from a normal windows boot. Start with graphics drivers, then wireless/internet, then printer, sound etc.

Okay, the debug shows you still have drivers from Norton on your PC, and you also have AVG installed. So, lets start by completely removing Norton with the following tool. As that may have caused some instability. As far as drivers, none look to out of date. But it wont hurt to look for the most recent updates on the manufactures website.

I just installed Norton after the initial mess up earlier today as I feared a viral problem.

Ok, doubt that is the problem. But just to make sure its gone run this when you can. Don't do it now though. I'm just providing the link.

I'm looking up video drivers right now, I'll also check sound, network

Remember, anytime you uninstall an security app, use a removal tool. So, try and reinstall Norton, then remove with the Norton Removal Tool.

Who is the manufacturer of the Video Card?

Is sound integrated? Or are you using a sound card? If so, brand, model?

Is the network adapter integrated or its own card?If so, brand, model.

 

[Frostmourne]

Realtek is integrated HD sound.

Removed Norton. Attempted to restart to Windows normally and no such luck! BSOD. I totally forgot to write down the number of the error. But it wasn't a long error. {Fatal System Error} and it was like 0x0000000.

MRT also returned with zero results.

Graphics card is from nVidia. Sound and Network are both intergrated.

Upload the .dmp file in safe mode in a.zip file. It will be in C:\Minidump or C:\

Its just the driver... My laptop has IDT(Sigmatel) HD sound which is integrated. Realtek is just the driver manufacturer, or the driver produced works with this board and chipset.

The audio and network drivers are over a year old according to Gigabyte. Here is the link for the downloads. Only choose 'LAN' and 'Audio' drivers.

The BSOD said nothing of a dump and Windows didn't record a new dump for that last one.

Have you changed the .dmp settings? There should be a dump file.

That's what i'm wondering. I didn't change a thing which makes the case weird. I'm gonna update the drivers CH gave and i'll restart and if I get the error, i'll write it down.

You wont have time to write the stop error down, it will reboot too fast. That's assuming you have it set to auto restart in the event of a blue screen.

Which you can change in the advanced settings link in system properties.

No, i've turned auto reboot off for JUST that, lol. I did it a while back earlier today when this mess began.

 

[CrucialHoax]

What exactly were you doing when it began? Things you do everyday or was it something else? I mean install new programs (besides norton)? Delete something?

 

[Frostmourne]

Did you change the .dmp file settings? They should be recorded.
