[HELP] Blue Screen Of Death

[Kieran]

Do you happen to have a copy of Windows on a disk handy?

[..:lukeachu:..]

No I haven't and my laptop dosn't have a disk drive. So even if I did it wouldn't help, lol.

[mrwoooooooo]

its screwed, you need to find a way of reinstalling windows.

Fairly sure thats common with hardware failure pointing to RAM. Could also be HDD.

If you can get access to another computer, download memtest86+ install it to a USB stick and sort boot order in BIOS to run from it, let it do a good couple passes to see if it finds any errors with RAM.

If you can log onto the computer for a few seconds get the MEMORY.dmp and /minidump contents from c:\windows gives a lot more information

Really need to do a chkdsk /f /r (from elevated command prompt (Start > right click cmd > run as admin))


But yeah if memtest doesn't show any errors, and theres no way of you getting to log on windows theres not really a lot to do.

Netbooks usually have a recovery partition. OEMs are required under Microsoft licensing to give you some form of install media. Go find the manual and look at recovery options before going through the hassle of installing Windows from a USB stick.

Alt+f10 when you boot should take you to the factory restore area.

Alt+f10 when you boot should take you to the factory restore area.

Not necessarily, it depends on the BIOS the vendor uses.

I have tried ALT+F10 and it has sadly failed to come up. @Recursion is right. But even I don't know what it is :S

Get the manual for your netbook and it'll tell you.
