Message at every normal start up!

[brenniegirl]

Your pc ran into a problem which caused it to restart. View Details Send Details.

I keep getting this message every time I log into my windows. There are no problems starting and no problems shutting down. So why do I keep getting this awful message every time I start up? Any ideas or support? Much obliged!

 

[brenniegirl]

Anyone? Not a clue?

How old is your PC? A failing component can cause problems like this, as it won't allow a process to start or complete.

 

[brenniegirl]

Hmm I'm not completely surebut I believe I got my laptop back in 2008. Its a gateway NV54.

 

[Ray8]

As long as things are otherwise working, it may be difficult to locate the problem, but it may be a warning of something about to fail. Are you able to view the details?

 

[brenniegirl]

Yes I am, Let me restart my laptop to view the message again so I can report what it says here.

 

[brenniegirl]

It just gives me a list of files that will be sent to microsoft.

C:\windows\minidump\042413.dmp
C:\Users\[My name]\Appdata\local\temp\WER-113833-0.sysdata.xml
C:\windows\memory.dmp

Am I able to access these or other files to get the real error report?

 

[Ray8]

It looks like it could be a RAM issue, like a poor contact or failing RAM. Hard to say unless you could read the file contents. XML can be read easily enough, but I'm not sure about the DMP files, or what either would contain.

Hi there
Restore from backup image --you should have one shouldn't you !!!.
If you don't have one you should run Repair Windows from recovery / start up disk.

I'm going to be the odd one out here but I would say you've almost got more chance of winning the Euro millions Lottery than the RAM being defective. In all the years of using all sorts of computers I can say I've NEVER had RAM fail. I've had RAM that hasn't worked or been incompatible with a Mobo but if the computer gets at least into the BIOS (never mind about booting the OS) then the RAM will certainly NOT be the problem -- check if you open the machine though it's seated properly in the slots whether a laptop or desktop.

Cheers

You got a buchcheck. A bugcheck (BSOD) is a mechanism to protect your PC from damage.

Make sure that you have enable memory dump. Refer to:
How to read the small memory dump files that Windows creates for debugging

I've never had ram fail for me either. It would be very odd and I would be very surprised if it happened now. I don't have a backup image so I will try Recovery. If that still doesn't work I will use my repair disk. If anything happens whether it works or doesn't I'll be back to let you all know. It is fairly late though so I will have to do it early tomorrow morning.

I did a re-install and I also did a repair disk. Both didn't work. I did some research and a guy had the same problem. It was his usb network adapter. He had to uninstall it completely and have it re-install itself all over. I tried that for mine even though mine is not usb, its built in instead. But it worked for me as well! I have shut down and started up, and even restarted about 4 times now and I haven't gotten anything. So hopefully it doesn't come back. Thank you all so much for your advice and help!
