krimzin Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) My computer showed this:http://www.msuapartmentsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/blue-screen-of-death.jpgWhat do I do?![Granted, the information was different, but it was in essence this message] Edited March 10, 2011 by krimzin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 If that is the scariest thing that has ever happened to you, Then you have led an extremely sheltered life. :tongue: Like the message says, if this is the first time you have seen this message, shut down., power all the way down, wait at least 30 seconds and power up. Watch the power up to see if there are any problems. If it doesn't happen again, hopefully it was an anomaly. But back up everything anyway. In fact, back up even if you don't think there is a problem and if you have never seen this kind of message. Because you never know when your hard drive is going to take a dump - NOT if - WHEN! because eventually it WILL happen. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krimzin Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Thanks for the advice! It helped a lot. Come to think of it, wiping my hard drive and starting over seems like a good idea, been running poorly lately, so I better back up anyways.Side Note, I'm going to Marine Corps Boot Camp in April, THAT will be the scariest event of my life. But this was slightly unnerving. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardOfAtlantis Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) ah, the blue screens of panic. Thankfully, following bben46's advice of calmly restarting has always been enough for me. I hope it is for you!http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/thumbsup.gif Good luck in the Corps!

martinthemage Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Every Window user's nightmare :teehee: My other PC just refused to boot, blue screen every time even in safe mode so I had to back everything up in ubuntu and restore D: Was that really the scariest event of your life? How long have you been living? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illiad86 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Scary? I get mad when that happens :P DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL normally means one of your drivers has gone screwy. But sometimes it can just be Windows wanting to be a jerk and BSOD on you lol. Below where it said the technical information (on that screen says gv3.sys), did you happen to catch what it said? I used to get that error on my old motherboard with my nforce drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krimzin Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 I dunno what it said, I just flipped and tried to fix it as fast as humanly possible. My comp has been acting strangely lately. Mostly freezing up solid on a daily basis. I wish I knew what to do to fix it. If it were a virus, I'd have nailed it by now, but I don't think it's that, so much as some kind of corruption.

antonkr Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Pfft I get those all the time with my old laptop. Reloading the computer should fix the problem. One time I dropped it a fairly good hight and it got it. That time I was scared as hell. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daynox Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I get a BSOD every now and then aswell.... i backup everything i got on my main tower to one of my externals at least once a week!... there is a program called Blue Screen Viewer that is free and will tell you exactly what happened during that incident...just fire up the program after re-booting and it shows you everything...you still might need to google the exact error codes it gives you to find out how to fix the problem (if it can be fixed) like bben says....your drive WILL die eventually!, and dont be like a friend of mine...who stored EVERYTHING on his one hd...years of music, family photos, everything......then one day..it made a sound like an old moose getting a root canal then screeched for a second then it just stopped...that was it. lost everything :wacko: nothing lasts forever!

krimzin Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 One day, I'm going to get a 1TB portable HD and load it with the entire contents of my pc, minus my operating system and obvious necessary programs and files. Then just format my pc clean. Run everything off the portable HD. That would work right? Then, if my computer dies, I'll have everything right there and just fix my pc or get a new one.
