The message was a PageFile error- I can't access the code right now. I did boot to the CD to try and repair (after first running disk check) but I still have the same issues. It's running very strangley and my virus program shows no virus. Like I said, it works fine in Safe Mode. It has to be a bad driver or something. Any other ideas?
Yes,
That Page file error usually means RAM or driver/hardware. If you are OK in Safe Mode it is probably a driver.
See if you can find it here
Have a look in these places for errors
1. Right click My Computer / Properties / Hardware / Device Manager.
Look for "Yellow" errors
2. Control Panel / Performance and Maintenance / Admin Tools / Event Viewer / System.
Look for "Red" errors. Double click on error.
If there are a lot, some of them will be duplicates so just post one of each.
Take a note of the Event ID and also the Source and post them back.
I went into mscongif and eliminated some things- especially a DLA program on the drive I was using at the time of the blue screen. Now I can get into Control Panel without issue. I checked the drivers and found no yellow tags. I'm convinced this is software.
As far as the errors record in Event Viewer, how can I cut and past this info? I forgot the keys for this. I'd like to post if for you.
This is a bummer to track down. It could be any hardware/driver/program. If it is hardware a repair won`t work and might land you in more trouble
Did you make any changes/updates recently or install anything, even a program?
Go offline and disable your antivirus and see if that helps.
