Vista Startup problems

<< < (6/19) > >>

Xas1953NC:
Thanks Boggin but I will wait to hear from Shane in case he may have another lead to what is going on but I will keep your advice in mind.
I don't know if the following is any help in resolving the problem:

I soft shutdown the computer at approx. 8.56pm tonight which took 2m.20s. I started it up again at approx. 9.03pm which took 6 min.
It booted up without any problems. I don't know if the Performance Event logs will be of any help but here they are after the shutdown and starting up at 8.56pm and 9.03pm respectively.

Xas1953NC:
I have just run Nirsoft's Crash Report. Here it is.

Boggin:
I'll leave those for Shane to peruse.

The Chipset drivers links the OS to the motherboard and the BIOS tells Windows what to load, so if the BIOS is playing up then either resetting it or looking for an update could resolve the loading process - but create and post the Boot log.

Shane:
Just worked on a computer today, needed a new power supply, put it in and new hard drive. I install Windows 7 and I have odd problems at random different areas. Odd things crashing and even the windows setup failing the first time but finishing the next.

When this happens on a install I know it is hardware related. I tested the memory and sure enough I had a bad stick of memory. That bad memory caused the system to reboot on its own, no blue screen, no dump file.

So since you have the same, a reboot with now crash file, it makes me want to check the rest of the hard ware, Have you done a memory test yet?

If not then please do and if you need a memory tester you can use the one from MS. :wink:

Xas1953NC:
Hello Shane, I could not grasp how to setup the https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2008.09.utilityspotlight.aspx prog to run so used the Vista built in memory tester instead. I did not press F1 to setup any parameters but just run it as is. During the part 1 and part 2 scans it said nothing found and on the auto restart there was no indication of the result. I Googled for some info and went to Event Viewer and Diagnostics result but the page was blank.
