Well I keep getting a BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER blue screen error whenever it crashes (very frequently) I've looked on google for help, but all of those situations are when people use a certain type of internet connection or something like that. Has anyone had this before? Or does anyone know some kind of way I can fix this besides reinstalling windows? Anyways, thanks in advance ^^
I already tried updating all of my drivers... the only usb things I use are for the... router? Forget what it's called >___> And the scanner. I don't know what else there is to do o__o I probably forgot some other driver though... thanks ^^
maybe you leeft cream cheese in your scanner?...
...^_^ oh wait that was me :lol:
Maybe a virus?
I don't think it's a virus, since I scan my computer like... five times a day. I'm paranoid like that. >___> Although twice I've deleted the memory dump file they make when the blue screen appears, and then the computer lasts for almost the whole day. Or... I think it's the memory dump file, It's a BYOND Map file and it's like half a gig or something. o__o Anyways, I'm going to use my computer again in a few hours (I'm at a friend's house) and I'll see if deleting that file makes the computer stay longer. But I also read online that my type of motherboard can't provide enough power for the modem so it frequently crashes... So maybe I should just get new computer parts. Meh. Anyways, thanks for the help ^^
...and you're still not going to check for cheese.... pssht if you arn't going to cooperate how can you win ...-tuts- ;) :lol:
It's still crashing... although symantec found a trojan on my computer (oops) so I deleted that... but... I think it's still going to be blue screen of death-y. Would reinstalling windows help? Because if I have to I'll do that... but... yeah. Anyways -__-
hmmm, id suggest going to device manager and uninstalling your usb drive and see if you continu crashing, if so, then we can locate the problem better.
What are you doing when your computer crashes?
Wait... if I uninstall my usb drive 1) how do I get it back and 2) Won't I not be able to use the internet then >__>
I'm doing anything when the computer crashes.... it crashes randomly, even when there are no programs. If I just left it on it'd eventually crash. o__o
you can go to the manufacturer(sp?) websites and d/l the drivers before you uninstall them
You can use the internet without USB, USB is just a shuttle for information from PNU programs to the computer.
yea but if she hooked her modem up using USB instead of ethernet then she is kidna outa luck with that isnt she?
Yeah, my internet needs a router thing. Or whatever they're called. I don't know >__> If I replace my motherboard what will happen to my computer?
EDIT: Also, I just lost a ton of diskspace on C.... it went from like 20 something percent free space to two percent. .... What is happening...... :(
Option One: Just put in your Restore Disk and set it to "Will Not Format HDD." That'll restore your System Files, but won't delete your files. But at the same time, won't get rid of the thing that's causing your problem. I say to do so because restoring back to a fresh point with your system files will make the system more stable, at least for a little bit, and enable you to do some troubleshooting.
Option Two: Use the built in System Restore feature if you're using Windows XP. It's a powerful tool that's often overlooked by the average computer user. Just estimate the time that the problem started happening, and choose a restore point before that.
If neither of those options work, I'm kinda stumped. I also think the reason you are losing disk space is because you have some kind of trojan spreading across your HD, causing it to take more and more space every time it duplicates. A lot of times Trojans can come packed in some kind of file, such a .cab, .rar, etc, with a lot of other unnecessary files to take up space.
If you can give me an estimated time that this started, I can give you some info on what may have affected your system.
Restore disk? Eh? ... o__o This started happening after I upgraded to SP2 which was... a week ish ago. Actually more. I'm using XP pro, soo... that should work. So if I restore, what will happen? It'll just go back to that point? Will I lose any files/settings or anything? And if I go to a restore point after it started happening, and it's still happening, I can go to one before that right? So if this started two weeks ago and I went to one one week ago and then I saw that didn't work I could go to the one that would be two weeks ago... right... >__>
I hope those work, thanks ^^
Yeah definitely. Here:
Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore.
"You can use System Restore to undo harmful changes to your computer and restore it's settings and performance. ...Any changes that System Restore makes to your computer are completely reversible."
That's a little exerpt from the System Restore page. Try it out and let me know how it works for you.
EDIT: You can also Create your own Restore Points at a time when everything is working fine, just to use as extra security.
How do I reverse the restore? XD Anyways, I'm going to ask my parents if they mind if I restore, then wait for my anime to finish downloading, and then restore. Thanks for your help, lets hope it works D:
Your computer will automatically restart after the restore has completed, and will pop up a screen saying that System Restore has restored the computer to a different date and time. And at that same screen, will ask you if you'd like to keep the changes you've made. Also, if something goes wrong, it'll let you know that the System Restore went wrong and will say "No changes have been made at this time." Let's hope that doesn't happen to you. =)
You can also uninstall Service Pack 2 if nothing else works, and see if that has a change.
So... if something goes wrong, it will say no changes have been made at this time, and then it'll go back to my recent crappy settings instead of my old settings? And when will this no changes have been made thing happen... since my computer just had the blue screen of death, will it happen after it restarts? And should I keep the window that asks if I'd like to keep the changes I've made open, or can I always go back there and press no? ^_^
EDIT: My parents say a restore won't help. Only reinstalling. And, I don't have any restore points, only one from today.... I can't go back on the restore calendar, theres only a point from today, and nothing else. ....
If your disk space is being eaten then thats weird :-S
Im not to sure on problems with pcs just everything else :lol: but the only thing im aware of that does that is a sort of trojan? forgot what its called but its a trojan thats make files and then infects and hides them or some stuff.
Symantec found a trojan on my computer, but it's gone now.
For a while yesterday it wasn't crashing, but I think I'll have to reinstall windows if it crashes again. Ah well.
Just back-up all your files, and re-install windows. That will fix it. I don't see why people are always afraid to reboot windows, I do it every month.
Alright, I guess I -have- to reinstall windows. *hugs programs* I already saved all my photoshop brushes.... anything else that I need to save from illustrator/photoshop/imageready? Or anything? I'll reinstall tomorrow, for now I'll just have to use this slow, slow computer -__-
Nope, just make sure you got the install files/ cd's for photoshop. =D
I hope it all goes well, I'm gonna reboot my pc tomorrow =D
Yeah, I have all the discs and stuff. I better >__> I have to find my bryce disk and other stuff... blah. Lets hope I still have it...
I hope your thing goes well too XD
... yeah me too, besides... i ate that cheese under your scanner, i think that should just about do it ... -content look on face- :unsure:
Thank you for eating the cheese under my scanner. .... -__- Haha. Anyways, I found a driver thing for my motherboard... or... something. I think it's an update, and I hope it helps, but who knows. Even if it doesn't work, I'm reinstalling windows so whatever. Lets hope it works so I don't have to reinstall windows though ^_^
EDIT: Blah okay I should just stop trying to fix it and reinstall windows. I'm reinstalling in about an hour or so, I'll post again to tell you how it goes :blink:
Lol, okay. Can't wait for the update.
Okay.... reinstalled windows, then got SP2.... yeah. Now it's crashing and restarting without the BSOD, the internet connection is really breaky, I have no programs, and this all really sucks. I'm going to try reinstalling again without SP2.... since the usb error started happening after I installed SP2. Blah. Already installed photoshop and stuff though. >__> Heres the page I get when I report the error thing:
http://oca.microsoft.com/en/response.aspx?...db71f7cb&SID=11
And for the extra technical info page, theres some kind of solution but it says this:
Note This procedure prevents the display driver from programming the hardware incorrectly, but you may lose some display functionality and performance. Although you can increase the hardware acceleration settings higher than None to regain functionality and performance, these settings increase the chance that the issue will occur again. For maximum stability, leave hardware acceleration off.
I want display functionality and performance o__o Blahhh! Should I try that before reinstalling windows again?
take the poptart out of the cd drive :lol: reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeformat everything
Yeah I had a feeling the first time around that SP2 was causing your problem, and now I'm sure. Reinstall without the SP, and see how that runs. SP2 isn't all that important if you protect yourself well in other ways.
Haha, I have like five anti spyware/virus programs running... and i ad-aware and other stuff like three times a day (because I'm paranoid like that.) Well... used to, I have to find all the discs. Erg I just wish that I didn't reinstall and get SP2, because then the BSOD was just a memory thing. Ah well.... :( I'll reinstall over the weekend~ Thanks for the help ^_^
No problem. Please let us know if you have any further difficulties.
SP2, is the devil. I never use it. It worthless, only slowsdown my system. I use windows media center 2005, best windows OS, besides windows server 2003 or course =D
I only have XP pro though. o__o Ah well. No time to reinstall.... right now I'm doomed to use other computers with slow internet and no photoshop or anything. Actually, my computer has been okay, it just crashes sometimes, usually when I have a lot of stuff open. Probably just a coincidence tough.... the page I get when I report the error is still either a page that says I need to fix my BIOS, or my drivers. Blah. >__> Anyways, thanks again for all the help everyone! ^_^
Well actually windows media center 2005 runs almost exactly like xp pro.
Thank god you don't have home, it sucks ass.
Im surprised restoring your pc, didn't fix the problem. It maybe a hardware problem also.
I ended up not reinstalling... my computer is running fine now, it only restarted... once today. ... Thats good enough for me >__> I guess all my problems are okay now, so .. yeah. Thanks for everyone's help! ^_^
Glad to see things worked out.
I had a problem with my old computer caused by SP2...Reinstalling windows and never touching SP2 again fixed it. :P
If it's crashing when you have a lot of stuff open, maybe your using all of your VM and the system shuts itself down? Seems like that could be it. Your computer is like "Ah shit I can't handle it!" and dies.
