Help Me!!!!!!!

[themysteriousal]

Hey everybody I've got one of the most complicated problems known to man.
Here it is:

After loading a Kensington driver for my mouse, i reset my computer. Everything was working fine, and i shut down about 15 min. later. THEN
I logged back on the next day, only to find that my computer wouldn't start. Trying about five more times, I kept on getting a blue screen; either that or my computer would simply restart before getting to a log in screen. I decided to reload windows. Popped in the disk, then got to load new screen. Accepted the end-user agreement, then suddenly: blue screen. Tried repairing next. Same result: blue screen. So i can't use ASR, can't repair, or reload windows. I have a Registry_Error. Help me PLEASE. All suggestions are welcome, thanks.

If it boots somewhat, my guess is the mobo and CPU are ok. So, outside of the neccessary peripherals such as mouse, monitor and video card, you have an essential component still needed. 'RAM'. If there's just 1 Eency Weency spot that ain't right with it, your pc will generate errors. Trust me.. :o

Run Memtest (http://www.memtest.org/#downiso) from a floppy to test your RAM also. Use the 62.2kb Precompile file for Windows. Midpage.

If that doesn't show us anything, post back with more details about your system and whether you were able to go into BIOS or not, what the errors state such as '0x000032' or the likes. But what I found was each time I'd boot, a different error would be reported. This is why it led to RAM being at fault.

1. Write down the exact error message, i fit changes take note of that and write down 2 or 3 for us to go on.

2. Open the case and clean out any dust, I use cans of compressed air and a camera brush. Be careful around the jumpers. Especially the CPU/heatsink/fan. If the dust is caked on thick, remove the heatsink carefully and clean it with a small brus, NOT a really stiff one. Replace the thermal compound if you remove the heatsink at any time.

3. Check for Bad Capacitors (http://www.pcguide.com/vb/showthread.php?t=25482)

4. Open the case and run the computer with a small desk fan blowing inside to check for heat problems, if the computer is more than a year old it might be advisable to remove and replace the heatsink thermal compound.

What we need most right now is some good system info and some exact error messages. Write them down and note when they happen...during boot, immediately after Windows loads (if it will) or after running for a while.

guess wat? i fixed it! i'm not really sure how... but i bypassed the error message. somehow...

Now is the time to make sure you never find yourself in this kind of fix again.
HOW?
get yourself a backup program.
Make multiple partitions to suit your needs.
Make backups of the C: partition, at regular intervals, when all's working well.
To make backups easy move as much as possible off the c: partition, into the others, leaving only the Windows and Program Files folders [plus odds & ends].
Make the C: partition as small as is sensible with just enough spare.
When you suspect something nasty may have happened to the C: drive software, re-format it and restore your latest good backup.
If that doesn't fix your problem then it's not a software problem and you can concentrate your efforts at finding a solution on other things like the hardware and the BIOS configuration settings.
Make sure the system you choose allows you to restore without needing to successfully boot into Windows.
Boot instead from a CD or floppy disk to do the restore.
