[Birkitt19]

Okay so my PC was running just fine and I decided to turn it off, i came back 30 mins later to find everything I type my password in to log on it loads then blue screens?

What does the bsod say? Have you tried a system restore?

 

[Connor Newell]

are you able to boot in safe mode?

 

[JimF_35]

Hold the F8 key right after your computer POSTs and chose the, "Use Last known good configuration" option. Probably a driver issue with an update.

 

[Birkitt19]

It said something like Bad_pool_header
Yes it boots in safe mode
And F8 seems to do nothing.

 

[gregbattis]

None of these seem to be helping, I'm currently in safe mode but I don't know what to do next and the last known configuration still gives a blue screen, my pc does log on and it's all black but then blue screens.

your ram could be the problem try reseating it if you have 2 sticks try just 1 then do it for the other stick also on safe mode install blue screen view

That's not what I mean. He is able to boot into safe mode so there is nothing wrong with his RAM. Reseating it will do nothing. The issue is something has installed on his computer that is incompatible. This is why he is able to boot to safe mode. Its not a driver issue because the "boot to last know good configuration" did not work. He simply has to figure out what the last thing that was installed on his computer that caused this problem and uninstall it from the safe mode boot.

I also like the Video that Greg Battis provided. It should help him to do find the offending program or driver.

I have no clue what I last installed, but I don't even recall installing anything today?

if you can you can try a system restore.

 

[JimF_35]

Boot to Safe Mode then go to Control Panel -> select System -> select Device Manager on the left -> look for any drivers that have a yellow explanation mark on the icon to the left of the driver. If you see one right-click on the driver then uninstall. Then reboot your computer and see if it was the problem.

 

[Birkitt19]

Could not do a system restore ive installed Total System care and trying to run that to see if it'll help.

install blue screen view and it will show u what program caused it

 

[gregbattis]

Boot to Safe Mode then go to Control Panel -> select System -> select Device Manager on the left -> look for any drivers that have a yellow explanation mark on the icon to the left of the driver. If you see one right-click on the driver then uninstall. Then reboot your computer and see if it was the problem.

that looks to be the next step.

I have 2 with the yellow exclamation point but i'm always paranoid ill remove something important?

It wont remove anything dire. You can copy the info from it so you can try to reinstall the driver later if you need to. Until then it is best that you go ahead and uninstall it.
