    Windows Vista Ultimate (x86) Blue screen on boot (even with win cd)

    I did the fix that BigBadBen suggested, and that worked for two boots, but now my computer's bricked completely. Now, when I turn it on, the keyboard backlights turn on, fans turn on, cd drive spins up for about 25 seconds, then the cd drive stops spinning, fan stops spinning, but the lights...

    Windows Vista Ultimate (x86) Blue screen on boot (even with win cd)

    sorry I didn't quite read close enough. That corrupt file CAN cause the dvd to crash. I'll give that fix a go. But the memtest result?

    Windows Vista Ultimate (x86) Blue screen on boot (even with win cd)

    I wish I could do all the drive swapping but it's a laptop and I don't have other laptops with similar configurations lying around. The memtest was memtest86+ I don't think it's a cpu or MB failure because the systemrecoveryCD (linux live cd) will sit there fine for hours, but then again, I...

    Windows Vista Ultimate (x86) Blue screen on boot (even with win cd)

    Did a memtest. With all 4gig in, computer crashed at 4%. With first stick in only, it got to 50% before crashing. With second, it crashed also, around 30-40%. I'm so confused.

    Windows Vista Ultimate (x86) Blue screen on boot (even with win cd)

    One thing I forgot, my BSOD message was: STOP: 0x0000C1F5 (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

    Windows Vista Ultimate (x86) Blue screen on boot (even with win cd)

    This afternoon, mid-way through installing the latest windows updates, my computer threw a BSOD at me. Thinking it was a one off thing I restarted a few times. It BSODs consistantly. I then decided enough was enough and tried to boot from my Windows CD to do a roll-back. Sure enough, it...

    Replace multiple if() statements?

    I did consider putting the data in an external file but decided not to because if somehow the file and the script got separated there'd be error messages spitting themselves everywhere. I thought it would be handy to have it all in one file. I'll just put some comments in about editing the...

    Replace multiple if() statements?

    Sorry about that Steve. I just copy/pasted it in and didn't really think about how much space it would take up. Thanks for both of your inputs :)

    Replace multiple if() statements?

    I've written a program for calculating the molecular mass of any inputted molecule. I've constructed it using 118 if statements as you can see: #!/usr/bin/perl -w #perl2exe_include Math::BigInt #perl2exe_include Math::BigInt::Calc #molwt.pl : Calculates molecular weights #Written by Luke...

    7600GT - "No Video Input"

    The PC doesn't beep at all. That was bothering me becasue I thought that a beep was an indication that the POST was successful but a freind told me that's not allways the case. All fans run, HDD spins up, dvd drive can open and close. MB has no integrated graphics. Any suggestsions?

    7600GT - "No Video Input"

    I just put together a new computer with a core2duo, 2gig ram, 500gig hdd, dvd burner etc. and I just put in the last component - a 7600GT, plugged in the monitor and turned it on to set-up the BIOS and then install SuSE and WinXP. On the monitor it reads: "NO VIDEO INPUT". I have no idea what...

    Intel Core 2 Duo installation - Thermal compound?

    I don't think its a protective layer. They are actually 3 grey strips on the copper on the bottom of the heatsink. I'll try and get a photo up later.

    Intel Core 2 Duo installation - Thermal compound?

    I've recently purchased the components for a new PC and went to start putting it all together today. I noticed that in the instructions for installing the processor there is no mention of thermal compound and on teh heatsink that comes with the processor, there appears to be thermal 'strips'...

    Mass MP3 Summary editing.

    What I want to do is write a program that will take two inputs from the user: a folder (eg. C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music\MP3) and a string (eg. "Don't steal music!") and change the summaries of every MP3 in that folder (including in sub-directories) and change the...

    Is 'my' synonymous with 'local'?

    I notice that when I ask questions and get given pieces of code, almost allways the variables have 'my' infront of them. Why is this?
