Hi All.
I am hoping that some kind soul can have pitty on me and throw me a life
line, rather than have to go through the whole dreaded re-install of
everything.
Firstly, let me give you my PC specs in case that helps.
Win XP Pro 32bit. Intel P4 3.40GHz CPU. 1,000W PSU. ABIT IC7 MAX III Mobo.
Herculese Digifire 7.1 Sound card. Gainward Geforce GS7800 512MB RAM. and 4Gb
of system RAM. One Hitachi 450Gb HDD.
I generaly tend to use my PC for web browsing and Gaming, and of course
emailing and listening to the odd bit of music etc.
I was using the PC on Tuesday evening of this week, and I noticed that the
yellow shield for the MS Updates showed up and informed me that there were
up-dates ready for my PC.
I clicked on it and noticed that this was a large one, 125Mb, which included
a new .Net 4, along with the usual KB ones, and security fixes etc and the MS
Security essentials up-date and the MS Malisious software one too.
So, I downloaded it and then installed, at which point it informed me that I
need to re-boot. Which I duly did, but this is where everything wen't awry
for me. After the re-boot I was presented with a BSOD, which had the
BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO message, and then a STOP message at the bottom.
I can't quite remember the whole thing, but I will post it if you need it. I
can just start up the PC and within a few seconds it will be there again.
I can get the PC to pass the POST, and I can get into the recovery colsole,
and boot from the CD but thats it. It won't let me go into the F8 Safe Mode.
If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions I would be most gratefull if you
would share them Please.
I have not installed / uninstalled or added anything for some considerable
time now, so I haven't concentrated too much on that.
Thank you in advance for any ideas.
Best regards
Steve.W
