Windows Xp Blue Screen Error Codes
friend's computer. Everytime she tries to boot it we have a blue screen right after the loading bar with the XP logo. If I mount it using a live linux distro, is there a way I can find that message, like in a log file? It just reboots everytime and I can't read what it says. windows-xp bsod share|improve this question asked Sep 23 '11 at 20:54 dierre 2181615 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 5 down windows xp blue screen error on startup vote accepted Yes, use this software to read the crash dump file stored at C:\Windows\Minidump http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html share|improve this answer answered Sep 23 '11 at 20:57 Moab 46.1k776129 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote I think you need to start Windows XP, hit F8 during booting to get to the Advanced Menu screen, and then use the "Enable Boot Logging" option. It will log all the boot messages to the ntbootlog.txt file. The log is stored in the %SYSTEMROOT% directory (normally C:\Windows folder). After you have tried booting and Windows has crashed, you should be able to go back with your Live Linux and look at that file to see what is last action before the crash. Take a look at this link for a bit more help. share|improve this answer answered Sep 23 '11 at 21:01 Sanjay Sheth 704511 It doesn't log the BSOD, you'll see the latest driver it tries to load which might still not be the cause. –Tom Wijsman Sep 23 '11 at 21:04 When should I hit f8? Because it crashes at the loading screen with the xp logo. –dierre Sep 23 '11 at 21:15 Press power on key and, after that, frenetically do press-and-release F8 key until boot options appears (after BIOS screen and before Windows loading screen). –kokbira May 23 '12 at 22:35 add a comment| You must log in to answer this question.

The How-To Geek Forums Have Migrated to Discourse How-To Geek Forums / Windows XP (Solved) - Windowx XP Blue Screen immediately after user login (5 posts) Started 5 years ago by CantLoginWinXP Latest reply from CantLoginWinXP Topic Viewed 6224 times CantLoginWinXP Posts: 4 This post has been reported. I'm using Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 2. I do not have windows backup/recovery enabled, so I unfortunately can not just restore a previous backup. I am able to login as Safe Mode so I'd guess it's not a hardware issue. My computer worked fine last night, i did not instal any new software/updates yesterday and I shut down my computer normally, then this issue came up when I turned my computer on this morning. My computer boots up fine until it gets to the Windows screen to choose which user to login as. Once I choose one it crashes within 1-2 seconds after I type my password and hit enter. It just says "Loading user data..." or whatever then crash. At this point it was previously rebooting, but I logged in as Safe Mode and disabled the "reboot on crash" thing so that I get a blue screen instead. My blue screen says the usual stuff about "a problem was detected... blah blah" then: "Technical information: *** STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0xF82B55D5, 0xF820D788, 0x0000000) *** Ntfs.sys - Address F82B55D5 base at F82B5000, DateStamp 4198e35b Beginning dump of physical memory Physical memory dump complete." One note about this blue screen, in the line "*** STOP: ..." the number 0xF820D788 is different everytime it crashes, otherwise the entry is the same When I login with Safe Mode and check the Event Viewer (Control Panels --> Administrative Tools --> Computer Management), it has an entry for each crash: Event ID: 1001 Type: Information Source: Save Dump Description: "The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0xF82B55D5, 0xF820D788, 0x0000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini120710-10.dmp" I don't know how to read the .dmp files (i tried opening in notepad but it was just random characters), so that was a dead end for me. My failed attempts at fixing it from Safe Mode follow: 1) I ran a virus scanner (that I downloaded from Avira.com) and deleted a couple of random viruses (I hadn't run a virus scanner in a while), rebooted without safe mode and still getting the blue screen. 2) I checked my ntfs.sys file in the folder C
