Blue Screen of Death - Comments Page 1

I think you missed a couple of things Like misbehaving drivers usually harddrive or nic. I've seen these after updating the drivers

i knew it!!!
i knew bill gates was spying on us!!!

I've recently had the BSOD when inserting the SD card from my digital camera into my printer to transfer pics. I've got WinXP & Windows said the problem was the program Iomega Hot Burn (which I have)& gave me the web address for the update. Downloaded it and no problem since.

I agree with you the way you view the issue. I remember Jack London once said everything positive has a negative side; everything negative has positive side. It is also interesting to see different viewpoints & learn useful things in the discussion.

Could the blue screen of death happen by opening an email

EDITOR'S NOTE: It's usually a (seemingly) random event that causes the BSOD. But if the email contained malware or some security exploit, it could trigger it.

I'm reinstalling XP for reasons too vast to go into, but halfway through the Repair reinstall I get the physical memory dump BSOD. What the ....?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Could be a bad RAM stick, or damage to the hard drive. I'd try swapping out the RAM first.

I tried to reinstall Windows XP Plus SP2 but even after reformating the HD it wont install completely, it says drivers corrupt or cd damaged and I've tried several copies of the same disc.

when installing empire at war halfway the dvd drive failed or something so now everytime i restart the blue screen appears after logging in for 1 minute.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I'm guessing you were installing a warez version of the software. Probably was infected...

This has happened twice to my girlfriends computer, she still is under the warranty thank god, but talked to HP man and ran the whole system check thing and it seemed to be fine. The computer is going to be sent in, just wondering what could have caused it?

Is it possible to reformat a bad hard drive? I recieved the BSOD with error code 0F00:0628?

EDITOR'S NOTE: That code could be referring to a CDROM disc, or your hard drive. Hard to tell from your info. Yes, you could reformat the hard drive, and bad sectors will be eliminated from the available space. But try a repair operation first, such as Scandisk.
