Recently ive been having problems when booting up my pc. I get to the Windows xp load screen just before i can choose which user i would like to run. Ive been getting BSOD 0x0000007F (0x00000008) (0x80042000) (0x00000000) (0x00000000).A brief view of my system specs are :System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3Micro Electronics, IncPowerSpecIntel Core 2 Quad CPU @ 2.40 GHz2.40 GHz, 2.75 GB of RAM.Other info:I have 3 RAM sticks installed. I had 4, thinking that the 4th newer stick was the problem I took it out but i am still receiving the error.What ive already tryed doing to fix it:Disk Check, Ran Full Norton 360 scan, Uninstalling some software, Running a Microsoft Malware scan (or w/e).So far no luck. If you need any other details please feel free to ask.Thank you :)1 person needs an answerI do too

Ive already checked this link out multiple times thinking there was a problem with my hardware. I dont think there is because i have swapped and replaced the RAM sticks trying to see if one was bad. Also all of them read and are working properly.Thank you though :)

You said you are having problem booting up, but then you say you've run Disk Check, Full Norton 360 scan, uninstalling some software, etc.How are you able to accomplish those chores if your system will not boot up?Does your system boot up okay and then crash sometime later?What is your system make and model?What is your XP Version and Service Pack?Describe your current antivirus and anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Defender, ZoneAlarm,PC Tools, Comodo, etc.Does the afflicted system have a working CD/DVD drive?Do you have a genuine bootable XP installation CD (this is not the same as any Recovery CDs that came with your system)? Here is a way to actually test your RAM if you want to do that (it will not hurt). If you are even suspicious of your new RAM, just put in whatever you had before you added more when you know things seemed to work okay (except the BSOD). Then, you will not have two variables in your troubleshooting equation. Run a test of your RAM with memtest86+ (I know it is boring and will cost you a CD).Memtest86+ is a more up to date version of the old memtest86 program and they are not the same.The memtest86+ will not run under Windows, so you will need to download the ISO file and create a bootable CD, boot on that and then run the memtest86+ program. If even a single error is reported that is a failure and should make you suspicious of your RAM.If you have multiple sticks of RAM you may need to run the test on them one at a time and change them out to isolate the failure to a particular single stick.Always keep at least the first bank of RAM occupied so the test will find something to do and there is enough to boot your system.Sometimes, reseating the RAM in the slots will relieve the error but any failure is still cause for suspicion.The file and instructions are here:http://www.memtest.org/Here is a link that shows you have to create and use the memtest86+ CD:http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/246994-guide-to-using-memtest86/If someone says to run memtest86, you can tell them to go pound sand and that you know memtest86+ supercedes memtest86 and here's why: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86Don't guess what the problem might be - figure it out and fix it.

1. Before it had started i would randomly get the BSOD. So I started running all those scans. I can still get into safe mode so I was able to still run some scans.I will try to reseat the ram into different slots just to be sure. My computer is still new, only a couple years old. But ever since i got it ive had power unit problems, BSOD's etc.

Okay - let's find out a few things and get some of the BSOD information from the last 5 crash dump files:I hope you can still get on the Internet in some kind of mode (forgot to ask that part).I am not fond of any Norton products since sometimes they cause systems to under perform. Tell us a little about that... Did you buy it, download it, did it come with free from your Internet Service Provider (ISP)?You also said you ran a Microsoft Malware scan - how did you do that? Microsoft is not in the malicious software detection, prevention and removal business, so I am also not too keen on their ability in that area (except for maybe the most basic and simple things). I would recommend you stick to companies where that is their only business.But, let's see what we've got.Click Start, Run and in the box enter:msinfo32Click OK, and when the System Summary info appears, click Edit, Select All, Copy and then paste the information back here.For video driver information, expand the Components, click Display, click Edit, Select All, Copy and then paste the information back here.There will be some personal information (like System Name and User Name), and whatever appears to be private information to you, just delete it from the pasted information.This will minimize back and forth Q&A and eliminate guesswork.Download BlueScreenView from here:http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.htmlUnzip and run it (BSV installs nothing) and let it finish scanning all your crash dump files. If you double click on of the dumps, you will get some information about it (including the Caused By Driver field) and you may be able to spot the problem right away - especially if you see a pattern in the dumps where the Caused by Driver field is the same (start with that driver).Select (highlight) one or more of the most recent dump files by clicking them and holding down the Ctrl key to select multiples files. Try to select just the most recent ones that relate to your issue (maybe five or so dump files to get started).Click File, Save Selected Items and save the information from the dumps to a text file on your desktop called BSOD.txt. Open BSOD.txt with a text editor, copy all the text and paste it into your next reply.Here is an example of the BSV report from a single BSOD that I initiated on purpose that shows the cause of the crash as the i8042prt.sys driver belonging to Microsoft Corporation:==================================================Dump File : Mini062110-01.dmpCrash Time : 6/21/2010 11:51:31 AMBug Check String : MANUALLY_INITIATED_CRASHBug Check Code : 0x000000e2Parameter 1 : 0x00000000Parameter 2 : 0x00000000Parameter 3 : 0x00000000Parameter 4 : 0x00000000Caused By Driver : i8042prt.sysCaused By Address : i8042prt.sys+27fbFile Description : i8042 Port DriverProduct Name : Microsoft® Windows® Operating SystemCompany : Microsoft CorporationFile Version : 5.1.2600.5512 (xpsp.080413-2108)Processor : 32-bitComputer Name : Full Path : C:\WINDOWS\minidump\Mini062110-01.dmp==================================================Send the information from the last 5 memory dumps.No matter what else you are using for malware protection, please do this:Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/These can be uninstalled later if desired.Don't guess what the problem might be - figure it out and fix it.
