SUp. I am having a problem on my laptop getting the blue screen of death. I used to get it occasionally now I get it everytime and I cannot get past it.

Here is the error code Im getting.




The only thing I have tried is to swap out RAM, which did nothing.

I am not really computer saavy, so any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

did you google that or is that the exact codes yorue getting?

when does it come up?

tried safe mode?

0x00000050 = usually is graphics related. bad driver maybe.

 

I googled the error code and sole an online picture. But I do get the error code "0x00000050"


It comes up as soon as I turn it on. After I get it I restart and it asks me if I want to start normally or in safe mode, I try both and I get the same error.

 

0x50 (0xc72f3b2c, 0x1, 0x80537009, 0x0

Give me a couple minutes.

 

STOP: 0x00000050
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
This Stop error indicates that requested data was not in memory. The system generates an exception error when using a reference to an invalid system memory address. Defective memory (including main memory, L2 RAM cache, video RAM) or incompatible software (including remote control and antivirus software) might cause this Stop error.


Possible Resolutions:

• If you added new hardware recently, remove and replace the hardware to determine if it is causing or contributing to the problem. Run diagnostics software supplied by the hardware manufacturer to determine if the component has failed.

• Stop 0x50 messages can also occur after installing faulty drivers or system services. If the file name is listed, you need to disable, remove, or roll back that driver. If not, disable the recently installed service or application to determine if this resolves the error. If this does not resolve the problem, contact the hardware manufacturer for updates. Using updated drivers and software is especially important for network interface cards, video adapters, backup programs, multimedia applications, antivirus scanners, and CD mastering tools. If an updated driver is not available, attempt to use a driver from a similar device in the same family. For example, if printing to a Model 1100C printer causes Stop 0x50 errors, using a printer driver meant for a Model 1100A or Model 1000 might temporarily resolve the problem.


Recover to last known good and see what happens,also turn off windows auto update?

 

Jani, I get the same exact error code, but here are my numbers in parenthesis

0xcfd77fce, 0x00000001, 0x80532708, 0x00000000

 

run checkdisk

sometimes a bad HDD sector or two can do this.

 

Vista or XP?

 

Care to elaborate how I do this?

XP

 

If it's a card unplug and run with onboard.
