BSOD

[Hunter]

this is a thread to talk about computer bluescreens/crashes you get on occasion
mine's the atikmdag.sys bullshit with the amd drivers. tried disabling hardware acceleration in firefox, let's see if that fixes it

 

[Lee_scar]

I've never really gotten bluescreens, just my nvideo driver having some kinda kernel error and the screen going black and turning off then resumes and recovers, its scary sometimes.

 

[DaniGrenade]

I always get them when I have more than 2 applications on. (I can't go on my browser while playing Minecraft, crashes after like 5 minutes.) I guess it's just my old computer not being able to deal with it(I don't know what "it" is. Space?)

what's the error it spits out

I don't know, let me try and crash it then I'll get back to you ;p
Edit: Found out it WAS a RAM issue xP

an option would be RAM or some virus though i'm leaning more towards a RAM issue. Not much you can do about a RAM issue unless you were willing to buy some new RAM sticks.

Could be wrong though.

Hunter and Lee's issues sound like video card driver issues that you guys caused upon yourselves so I'm assuming you know how to fix them so you wouldn't really care for me telling you.

My only blue screen experience is when a lady brought in a Windows XP laptop that was bluescreening. Discovered a RAM stick was bad and her harddrive had issues. Took forever to reformat the damned thing since of course it used floppy connectors and so it was slow as snails. Took about a week to get it up and running again.

if the smoke is either not blue or does not taste of charred plastic and your PC does manage to boot afterwards, there is six more weeks of winter.

no, this is a new laptop. if we knew how to fix them then why the dick would we have the problems unfixed and post here about them

If you actually wanted help then maybe you should've outlined the steps you've already taken to solve the problem so anyone who tries to be nice and helpful isn't just repeating what you've already tried.

You also probably should've given an example of your current computer's specs then people who know something can probably make an accurate assessment and possibly give you a solution to your issues. This is all of course under the basis that you actually want help.

 

[Lee_scar]

even though this is a joke it seems sketchy as all hell to let someplace like that cookie my computer or even come close to running a script

guys caused upon yourselves

I wouldn't go that far to say ive caused it, it just happens time to time. of course I've yet to update my driver for it. all the same.

>who's job is it to check for new drivers/update them

>who didn't do either of those things

If neither of those are you then it really isn't your fault but considering i'm assuming you both use your own computers then it's YOUR fault for not updating drivers or checking if there was possible updates so it's thus YOU who caused the issue by your own negligence to check your video card vendor's website so saying it wasn't your fault isn't true now is it?

Now if you actually want some help then take a look at my post above.

fuck's sake man, literally got this on black friday
turning off hardware acceleration in firefox seems to have solved the problem for now
sometimes after crashing it wouldnt boot but tilting the base upwards fixes that for some reason

Glad you fixed it. If you want any help with anything else then I'd be more than happy to help.

I have an app of my tablet does that count?

That's victim blaming and that's not cool.
Even an individual person who purchases and uses a computer solely should not be blamed.

I was sold a product as is, shipped in what was at the time presumed 100 percent operational by the manufacturer.
I should not be considered any at fault for a product with a fault.
Unless your keen on blaming a childseat's owner for not checking for manufacturer recalls, or the same with lead infused toys?


To be more in depth for clarification on the crash. I have updated drivers before, it has a crash so rarely even when not updated to their latest specs. After a reimage or restore to factory(I do these often) I'd rather not bother updating because of some glitch from a faulty code that happens maybe once in a 100 day time frame.

dont forget to make the "cell phone vibration patterns" to discuss the various ways our cell phones vibrate on certain notifications

my cell phone vibrates --.-.-..-. when i get a text

 

[Lee_scar]

my cell phone vibrates --.-.-..-. when i get a text

-in morse code
T-T-E.T-E.T-E.E.T-E.
T-K-.-R.-.R.-.
G--. C-.-. R.-.
G-- C-.-. E. N-.
I have the rest of your vibrations combinations in morse code as well, but you have to ask nicely for them.

Your welcome.

This computer had BSOD only once.

But it often had hard freeze caused by third party software.
Stupid software devs should have said, that it will crash computer frequently, if run all time.
Now I run it only when needed and I don't have freezes anymore.

my android tablet is currently stuck in recovery mode pls halp

If there is someone who actually wants to help, here's the details as far as I know them:

- Prestigio Multipad 4 Quantum 9.7
- Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
- Stuck in recovery mode, I pressed the buttons to go on recovery mode by accident.

Here's what I've tried so far:
- Rebooting doesn't work, goes back to recovery mode.
- Googled the problem, found that sometimes that problem is caused by the buttons getting stuck. Pushed them a lot while the tablet was turned off, to loosen them up. No results.
- Figured maybe it's a virus or a glitch, did a factory reset, since I'd already tried everything else google results suggested (they didn't suggest a lot). No results.

Any ideas? I'm not very experienced in stuff like that, maybe there are people here who know more about it than I do.

It is obvious that I've overstepped and obviously stepped on both you and hunter's toes which is MY fault so I hope you both can forgive me for my assholeish assumptions and baseless offensive words.

With that, I will bow out of here and drop our disagreements.

I've never really had much experience with Android tablets unfortunately but from what some of the things I've read it seems like maybe some of your files got misconfigured and now you may need to reset your OS? I honestly have no idea. I would however recommend posting a thread here: http://www.androidtablets.net/forums/jellybean.330/

They should at least be able to give you a better answer than mine but hey maybe someone else here is more experienced with them than I am and will be able to save you some thread making. Either way, good luck with it.

(if you have no interest in posting another thread and would like to try resetting your prestigio multipad then I'd recommend taking a look at this page: http://www.hard-reset.com/prestigio-multipad-hard-reset.html and following the steps on it. NOTE: If you do this that you'll lose all your data currently saved unless you remove your SD card.)

Once again, best of luck with your problem man and sorry I wasn't really much help.

I disagree on who's fault it is w but at the end of the day. It is obvious that I've overstepped and obviously stepped on both you and hunter's toes which is MY fault so I hope you both can forgive me for my assholeish assumptions and baseless offensive words

Nah man your cool, I'm just going back and forth with you, a strong debate with colleagues is a healthy part of any environment.
Though it did seem you were upset about something? Maybe its a pet peeve? I'm unsure I had not the intention to fight, but merely banter.
I will accept some fault for being lazy and not updating when they are available from the distribution, but my problem isn't as critical as others as well.

Thanks, I'll try there. I already did a hard reset, it didn't work, but maybe they'll know what's up.
