Ok let me start off by saying that I had vundo trojan horses/spywear/etc. on my computer and with the help of the friendly staff of help2go my pc was back to normal and I thank them again Very Happy

But!

A week or so after my pc was cleaned out, it started to crash....randomly. At first it was rare; sometimes a blue screen of death or if I move my laptop in general it would crash.

I actually read the artical here about the BOS error and tried to fix it, but when I get to the part of the file in the minidump and click the dump in the analyze log, I would get, "Error cannot be found, etc. etc." After that, it started to get worse and crash more offen. Now, it crashes a lot and I can barely get on the internet, (It cannot reconize my wifi card sometimes; I would actually have to cancel installing the PCI drive and pull it out and in to get it to work.) Also to make matters worse, many of my icons have....gibberish on them O_o

I have no idea what to do; I wanted to get it checked out first before I get my pc to a shop; I bought my laptop for 165 bucks and it survived a lot of...crap, (my brother in law threw my bag with my laptop down the stairs and it survived...and it was put down not too gently on concrete a few times >_<) I guess my poor pc is starting to wear down from dumb people Crying or Very sad

This is the message when I get the blue screen of death, (sometimes it reboots sometimes it doesn't)

***STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x00000010, 0x000002, 0x00000000, 0xBE82D700)

***Address BE82D700 base at BE808000, DateStamp 452ecbd3-bcmw15.sys

Beginning Dump of memory

I think the clue might be here

. With the other info you give on its handling, I would sugest it's a hardware problem, possibly hard drive. Download HD Tune at http://www.hdtune.com/ and run it. Let us know the results.

I am not finding out anything on your error codes, assuming that you typed them correctly Wink

Boy this is something we can't fix. Some thing is loose probably, maybe cracked/broken. As you said it has not been treated very well.

This could easily cost more to fix, than you paid for it. If can get to the RAM, try reseating it.

The report looks OK. As BG suggests, it could be a bad/dirty connection. As far as a laptop goes I'd take it in to a tech and get it check out, dektops PC are easier to get into.

Please get back to us and let us know the outcome ... sorry we don't seem to be able to come up with a fix on this.
