Issue with reinstall

[peopledontfly]

I have been running oblivion on my computer for about 2 months and have never had any issues. I am Using a Nivida 1800 card and the preforomance has been excellent. Last night I put in the oblivion disk and before the start screen even came up my computer blue screened. I did it two more times and got the same result :wallbash:. I decided to uninstall oblivion except the uninstaller would not even come up! . Eventully I got so frustrated that I manully deleted it and cleaned my registry. For some reason my computer still blue screens every time I put the oblivion disk. I have no Idea why? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

For the most part BSOD's (Blue Screens) are hardware related.

 

According to the way I read your post, everything is fine until you put the disk in the drive?

 

Can you hear the drive spin up when you put in a disk?

 

If so, you should try another DVD in the drive, if it BSOD again, you can try to reinstall the disk drive drivers, but the problem is most likely the drive itself.

 

Next most likely culprit is PSU, then Mother Board.

The blue screen is usually related to a windows problem and not an Oblivion problem.

Have you tried any other disks in that drive?

Have you looked at the disk to see if there are any scratches?

Have you tried just reading the disk? not running the game?

 

Did you use a cleaner program or manually edit your registry?

If you use a cleaner, you must reboot the computer after manually deleting the game, then run the cleaner, then reboot again. That allows windows to mark the registry entries as orphans, Then after, allows a cleanup.

I think that you mis understood me. Whenever I put the disk in it auto plays it and I get the blue screen. Do you know how to stop it from auto playing

Try this

Left click on 'My Computer' - a window should open showing all of your drives

Right click on your CD drive - A new window will open, at the bottom, click on 'Properties'

On the properties screen, use the selection block ( it usually has 'Music files' in it to start with, click on the blue down arrow, and find the type of file, I think it's 'Mixed content' for a game.

then in the actions block, select 'Take no action'

 

Click Apply at the bottom, then OK

 

You should be able to see the list of files on the CD. If it still gives you a blue screen crash, try another disk and see what happens.

Under Vista, at least, Autoplay is disabled from the Control panel.

 

Once disabled, insert a DVD, then, using Explorer try to access the contents of the disk.

 

If Computer crashes as soon as you try to explore the DVD, try another DVD, but, bottom line, the Drive itself has probably failed (especially if you can't hear the drive spin up)
