HP/Compaq :: BSOD When Trying XP On DV3Z
Mar 15, 2010
I get a BSOD just after the install disc loads all the drivers and says "starting windows". It also did this with a clean drive, thus I can't blame the restore partition, at least not in that case.
I tried using the restore partition, and just get "Error 100a". My internet connection here is too bad to do a lot of research on this.
The only install that worked was of a Vista Ult. on the clean drive. Vista Home freezes at "completing installation".
Ran Memtest and sector scans of both HDD's. All %100

feedback regarding the DV3z model on HP.com's website. I've seen a thread regarding the DV3 that best buy sells with an intel processor (their "blue series" or whatever) but haven't seen much regarding the AMD version HP sells direct.
Are there owners of it on here? If so what are your general impressions? A good buy? OK w/ battery, heat, noise, etc?

Has anyone purchased or seen this notebook? It's fairly new, so no reviews have been made of it yet, but from the specs and overall looks of it, it seems to be a pretty amazing notebook for it's price range (not to mention the 30% off coupon floating around).

I was down to the DV3510NR (one of the BestBuy Blue Label series), but i just noticed the refreshed DV3Z. which one is the better buy / value.
And, would it be possible to purchase the slot loading drive from the DV3Z, and put it in the DV3510NR ?

i was surfing the web today using mozilla firefox, and for sum reason it became unresponsive on me, so i let it be, so it would become responsive again. once i had control of it again. the screen went blue. saying that sumthing went wrong and the computer had to restart. it restarted and when it tried to starting up windows the following message came.
"Boot Device Not Found
Please install an operating system on your hard disk
Hard Disk - (3F0)
F2 System Diagnostics
For more information visit:[url]
the computer would not let me click the F2 key to run the diagnostics as well as when i tried to hold down the power button for at least a MINUTE it wouldnt turn off! it is just stuck on that screen!
its only been about a month. So far i am waiting for the battery to run out so i can try and turn it on to see what is wrong Im afraid to pull the battery as i think it may cause damage to the computer!

I have an Envy 15 1060ea, i7-720qm, 4gb, 4830 etc.
I burnt off the recovery disks because i wanted to install my own version of windows 7 ultimate.
I did so, installed all the necessary drivers and avast anti-virus.
The problem i face is that if i install ANYTHING other than the ati drivers supplied by HP my laptop BSOD's on boot.
I have tried the 10.3 and the 10.2 from strags.com. Even the 9.9 beta from ati's website doesn't work.
The computer is running fine otherwise, without a single hiccup.
I cant overclock when the HP drivers are installed, and i have tried every possible tool, invluding atitool, rivatuner, atitray, and the amd gpu clock tool
I want to overclock the card a bit and get the full slew of options available, since the CCC that comes with the HP drivers is gimped.

i had more than 10 bsods now and the time period was as follows.
~5 bsods and solved by updating graphics drivers.
now, like 2 weeks later, it has been running fine and i decided i want to update my graphics driver by manually modding the inf file in the latest desktop drivers..
it did work out, but now it's giving me bsod errors everytime i close my laptop and come bak later to open it.
i also recently (today) installed a new realtek PCIe family controller driver..
so i dont know which driver is causing the bsod (0x50 non-paged fault)
right now my gfx is on 8.661 (found on a website, but WHQL certified)

I purchased an HP DV7-1273cl from Costco about a month ago. I did only, and I mean only, the windows updates and the updates listed for my model on hp.com. After those updates, I got a couple errors that automatically did a restart and boot to "No bootable device found, please insert disc and press any key" which I wasn't able to get around until I pulled out the battery. Called Costco Concierge which led to a call to HP. Long story short, this time, I ran a comprehensive hdd test which passed and HP sent me recovery discs to rule out bad recovery partition. It didn't work. i then had to send the laptop to HP service. Apparently they replaced the motherboard and scratched the living $h!t out of the top of the lid. I called Cost Con to complain about the scratches and as soon as I hung up, BSoD.
So, I buy another refurb to see if I have better luck. Just my luck. After doing a factory recovery via the discs just to be safe, the 2nd Laptop is doing the same thing, just not as frequent. I got the "No bootable device found, please insert disc and press any key" once. It BSoD'd a couple times since Friday night. One of the BSoD said something about a Kernel Stack Page Error. At this point in my journey, I set the laptop to not automatically reboot after a BSoD. Again, the only updates I've done are the Windows updates and HP.com updates which include: BIOS update, Wireless adapter, NIC update, NVidia update (via Nvidia.com), Intel Chipset update, Webcam Software, DVD Software, MediaSmart Menu Software, Bluetooth, Essential System Updates for Windows Vista SP1. Full list of updates is at link.

A buddy told me to try a different hdd.

I have a hp laptop 9843cl with 64 bit vista. it crashes randomly quite often. It says "IRQL less than or equal to" and near the end writes NETw5v64.sys and some other numbers. This is related to Intel wireless driver link 4965AGN.
I tried many things, memory check, hard drive check, drivee update check.

I get random crashes and the apparent crashes I get all relate to this error message:
Realtek RTL8168/8111 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (rtlh86.sys, rtlh64.sys)
This problem was caused by a missing driver for Realtek RTL8168/8111 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (rtlh86.sys, rtlh64.sys), which was created by Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
According to the spec sheet for my laptop and Hp's website this is what I have on my laptop: Realtek RTL8101 Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC rather than the 8168.
Could this conflicting information be the source of the problem? How come Windows shows a different NIC to the HP website? I've tried to download the driver off the Realtek website but I find the website frustratingly annoying and basically pants (for such a global player)!

how to slipstream sata drivers onto Windows XP installation disk I decided to try it out. I had two unsuccessful attempts and I'm wondering that it probably is due to me using the wrong drivers for the job.
I have a Dv5t 1135ee, can anybody please direct me to the right drivers that I need to put onto my Windows XP installtion disk to not get a BSoD.

My 1730 is not cooperating this morning. Been trying to figure out why Im having a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) everytime I try to open anything. It even crashed during a system restore and also during a power off at the Windows is Shutting Down screen.
Things had been working great up until last night. I was reading something on a webpage when I got a pop up window on the page I was on, and when I clicked the window closed, I crashed to blue screen of death.
Haven't been able to do much since then. Not sure if its hardware or software related, but I do notice that my McAfee isn't running now and when I try to update it says 'Components Are Missing' and to reinstall.
Can't get far enough in a reinstall before I crash again, so thats getting me no where.
I was able to do a system restore to a day earlier, but the problem is still there.
I also have no way to network in safe mode due to only having wireless internet access.
If anyone has any suggestions on where to get help to find out what might be causing the problem. Please let me know. I can follow instruction if anyone can walk me through what I need to look for.

A problem cropping up more and more of late is a BSOD when the machine is coming out of sleep mode, or when the hood is lifted after sleep mode.
The cause of this has been determined to be a Microsoft update patch.
See this thread on the Dell Forums about people having the problem and it's resolution:

I know people have had issues with the SXPS13 having the blue screen but my blue screen occurs whenever I do a windows update or install a newer video card driver.
I've read posts and none have helped in this particular issue.
This first happened in Vista Home (came with laptop) and bsod at EVERY startup so I boot to cd and installed Windows 7. Ran great until I installed the new nvidia drivers from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com.
I read threads where people have had no issue installing them on sxps13's and received better video performance. I guess my question is: should I waste my time battling with dell to receive another lemon unit that will take a month to ship to me again, never ever ever upgrade my video drivers or possibly I don't have a bad unit

I decided to pick up Black and White 2 again since I have nothing better to do with my time but wreak havoc or maybe some good, haven't decided yet.
..anyways
I start the game (patched and up to date) and everything's fine until I hit a new cutscene, then the game freezes up and after a few moments I get my most favorite thing in the world: BSOD ()
Regular text "blah blah blah failed you suck at life uninstall kthxbye" It says the error is caused from nvlddmkm.sys.
I did some google-ing and came back with some kind of incompatibility between vista and nvidia drivers. I'm fully updated to SP1, I have the 177.70 forceware drivers; I've tried it with other drivers but it's still not working. Ive patched the game, tried it overclocking and not, and nothing seems to work.

I have a FW-550 F/B (specs here: [url]. I want to overclock it to 600/800. After using Riva Tuner to set the clocks, I always run a FurMark stability test (1280x1024, 4xAA), while monitoring the temps with GPU-Z. It always crashes to a black screen (the monitor doesn't turn off, I just stop hearing anything and later I get a loud buzzing noise). The only solution is to do a hard reboot.
- It's not a temp. problem, sometimes it crashes at 60C, sometimes at 70C
- The GPU is not faulty, at normal clocks I beat Far Cry 2, Dead Space, RE5, Crysis, and Fallout 3 at pretty high settings without a single crash. All those games push the GPU load to 100% and temps go up to nearly 70C.
Some interesting things
- I had this problem in Mass Effect at normal clocks. I lowered the settings until it was almost pixelated but it persisted. I did some research and it seems i wasn't the only one, so I stopped playing the game until I could find a solution
- After this problem, I checked the Event Viewer. Apparently, they're all bluescreens. The description says "Display is not active'", with the source being "atikmdag.sys "
Maybe it's a driver issue?

I was checking my email then all of the sudden, I got Dell's BSOD. I restarted it, when I got into desktop, BSOD again. So I decided restore (clone, I used it 2 times before this happened). The restoration was successful, but when I boot it up, after Windows logo, nothing, blank screen. So I did it again, restoring it. But again, blank screen.
Then I decided to do a fresh clean install of XP, but when I tried to delete that partition, BSOD. I booted up again from the XP CD, I found it had been deleted. So I made a new partition, and format it (NTFS - slow method), but when it got into the middle of copying the files, it said it can't copy the files.
In the moment, I am formatting the hard drive into massive one, instead of two partition. I doubt it that it will work.
What's the problem with my Dell Latitude D600?
Do you think that's the hd?
Just FYI, before this happen, I was thinking of upgrading the hd into bigger hd.
Edit: Yup, it failed. Btw, my D600 is at least 5 years old, original hd.
