[PornMaster]

i think i may need lots of help here but i'm not sure, everytime i restart my computer i get this error message, does anyone know what could be causing this? any help will be apreciated, thanks!!

It looks bad, but without looking at the log. I don't think, anyone would able to help! Have you try using safe mode to locate your problem(s)?

[Krell]

Excellent DigitalJunkie

I will review this in detail of you send it to me. I also want the Sysinfo report, and the Event logs, all of them. They are plenty small enough to attach to an email.

I will PM you with the instructions on sending them. May I advise that you do not change a bunch of stuff yet, as I will not get it sorted out of you do.

I will make it my priority tomorrow after coffee

cheers

I am reviewing your logs, wow, quick one, what video card are you using ?

See, send me that Sys info I will not have to beg for it !

[nasrules]

you get this error if windows doesnt shut down properly, cept you normally have a 'Send Report' and a 'Don't Send' button. krell will sort it out hehe!

[Krell]

Oh I am sorting it out alright, just a few thousand entries since the beginning of Dec. Combine all three logs item by item you get a good feel for whats going on. Of course there are better feels, but I am a computer geek, this is all I get : (

PornMaster, go back to Administrative Tools, Event Viewer, and select each log one at a time. Start at the bottem, and click on an item, then hit arrow up repeatedly.

This takes you thru a chronology, and I would like for you to review all 3 of these, as I am going to have some questions about some of it. This will kind of clue you in on what I am looking at.

I will catch up with you in the next 12 - 15 hours.

cheers

Well, I remember when I first got XP, every 2nd or 3rd boot it wouldnt boot correct, load about halfway, and crash, when it finally got into windows after a couple trys, it told me that, a later windows update fixed that, dont remember off hand what it was tho

Was this after a normal reboot, or did it crash and reboot?

...well, I´m not much of a computer specialist, but I recently bought a new one and it came with Win XP Home Edition, and I had the same thing happening to me.
What happened was that, after I tried to install a version of Nero that came with my previous burner, my computer just froze and I had to reboot it cold.
After that, when XP restarted, that same message popped up...everytime I turned on the PC it did that. First time I didn´t "report" it, second time I did, thinking that message would go away, but no...so, after 6 or 7 times, I typed that phrase "the system has recovered from a serious error" on the search engine of XP´s Help and Support, and it directed me to MS´s Knowledge Base.
Turns out some versions of XP had this bug, which meant that if the O/S crashed, this error message would appear on boot up, even after the error being gone. And they said XP was "uncrashable"...bah!
Anyway, at MS´s Knowledge Base, they offer you to download a small patch that corrects this problem...I did so, and it was fixed!

WhitePony is right. i had this same thing happen to me a while back, but it was all fixed up at the windows update site. when you go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com there is are a few choices on the left. i forgot which one (either "windows xp"or "critical...") but one has an update for windows because there was a bug in xp. it's easy to find because it says something like fix or update to "system has recovered from a serious error" bug.

let me know if this helps you any.

yeah, but my computer is all up to date.

[.::BeatFactory::.]

ok...well since krell has the info, he'll tackle it in no time and ill just figure out what the problem is.

[Krell]

Oh yah, its up to date alright. When you installed this *cough* version of XP, did you leave system restore enabled? Do you have a day 1 restore point?

Do you have multiple partitions on your drive, or more than one hd?

Are you using this machine for both home and work use?
.

[PornMaster]

umm, ok..yeah, i always leave system restore on.

i think i have a day one restore point.

no, i don't have any partitions or multiple harddrives

and no, i just use this PC at home, i don't work, lol
