Blue screen at logon

[criss_glitch666]

I get a blue screen when I go to log on. It says "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION". What does this mean? I hope to god it's not bad..

**now it says "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"**

[Dougofthenorth]

happened to me a few times - solved it with Win7 install disc doing either a repair or restore point

I learned not to let Windows Update do my video drivers &

to repair Boot sector after a Ghost 15 image restore

Sounds like a driver issue or a corrupt OS file. Do the system repair or roll back any recent changes. Have you added a new driver or installed anything new recently?

[criss_glitch666]

I've already done system restore and that doesn't help.

[Drdeath]

I agree... Corrupt file. Probably will have to reinstall OS.

Yes, I ended up having to do that. I lost EVERYTHING! I made a backup with windows but it said it was corrupt. Very nice.

Chris, your OC wasn't 100% stable then.

Chris, your OC wasn't 100% stable then.

Actually, I set the BIOS back to default settings. Still got a blue screen. I restarted multiple times. Even let the computer sit to cool down but it still didn't work. Anytime I'd try system restore it would fail. I just formatted. AGAIN. Ugh..

[Deton]

now it's make me think your RAM might giving up on you.
Can you try it one stick at a time to see if it boot?

[Earthmonger]

Like Deton said, I've had bad ram modules do that to me. Fails during Windows load. If the problem persists (now that you've reinstalled), check it.

[BGROC]

Not that it will help now but you could have backed up the drive before doing the format. You also could have tried doing a repair install which just re-installs Windows without touching your files.

I ran a memory test and it says it's fine. I couldn't imagine if the RAM was bad.. OCZ no longer has support for it.

ok I did a little research about your BSOD message, it's cause by corrupt or buggy device driver.

he's right.
track back, what did you recently install?

you can backup a corrupt OS, you need to backup when it's clean and healthy.

out of the equation.

information I found, this one was for Windows 2000 but you can find more info at MS support site

Explanation:

This Stop message indicates that a kernel-mode process or driver attempted to access a memory address to which it did not have permission to access. The most common cause of this error is an incorrect or corrupted pointer that references an incorrect location in memory. A pointer is a variable used by a program to refer to a block of memory. If the variable has an incorrect value in it, the program tries to access memory that it should not. When this occurs in a user-mode application, it generates an access violation. When it occurs in kernel mode, it generates a STOP 0x0000000A message. If you encounter this error while upgrading to a newer version of Windows, it might be caused by a device driver, a system service, a virus scanner, or a backup tool that is incompatible with the new version.

User Action:

This error usually occurs after the installation of a buggy device driver, system service, or BIOS. To resolve it quickly, restart your computer, and press F8 at the character-mode menu that displays the operating system choices. At the resulting Windows 2000 Advanced Options menu, choose the Last Known Good Configuration option. This option is most effective when only one driver or service is added at a time. If you encounter this error while upgrading from Windows NT 4.0 or earlier, it might be caused by a device driver, a system service, a virus scanner, or a backup tool that is incompatible with the new version. If possible, remove all third-party device drivers and system services and disable any virus scanners prior to upgrading. Contact the software manufacturers to obtain updates of these tools. For additional error messages that might help pinpoint the device or driver that is causing the error, check the System Log in Event Viewer. Disabling memory caching of the BIOS might also resolve this error. You should also run hardware diagnostics supplied by the system manufacturer, especially the memory scanner. For details on these procedures, see the owners manual for your computer. If your system has small computer system interface (SCSI) adapters, contact the adapter manufacturer to obtain updated Windows 2000 drivers. Disable sync negotiation in the SCSI BIOS, check the cables and the SCSI IDs of each device, and confirm proper termination. For enhanced integrated device electronics (EIDE) devices, define the onboard EIDE port as Primary only. Also, check each EIDE device for the proper master/slave/stand-alone setting. Remove all EIDE devices except for hard disks. If the message appears during an installation of Windows 2000, make sure that the computer and all installed peripherals are listed on the Microsoft Windows 2000 Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) on http://www.microsoft.com. For more troubleshooting information about this Stop message, refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://support.microsoft.com/support.

How long did you run the memory test? And did you do the full test or just a quick test.

Your HD could also be failing. Do you have another you could try to load the OS on?

I tested each stick by itself. I did the full test.
