BSOD

[declanbooth]

Hi all. I have one problem. Recently I was working with my access database and added a lot of info into the document. I `ve got to hand over month report soon I`m working all day and night long. Don`t know why but my PC got BSOD. After that I tried to open my document and see error “Operation failed - too many indexes - reduce the number and try again” What should I do? How can I fix this? Is it because of the size of the document? It`s about 10 gb. My Office 2010 worked just well until it happened. So, any suggestions?

A 10GB word document? It wouldn't surprise me if it won't let you add any more indexes.

Upload the dump file from C:\Windows\minidumps

Make sure to add it to a .zip folder prior.

Jared why word doc? Isn`t it an access spreadsheet?
Your BSOD may have corrupted your database. Do you get an error when you open MS Access or when you open your Database within MS Access? If it is the first you may try a repair install of MS Access. If it is the second try Compress and Repair. "Compress and Repair" is the "Did you reboot your PC" option of MS Access.
Most database engines do not like unexpected shutdowns.
Ms Access Compact and Repair
Also, you can find out what caused the BSOD by looking in your Dump file. You can look for the memory.dmp file in the C:\windows directory.
I highly recommend enabling minidump and learning how to view the dump. Take some time to google enabling minidump Google
Enable Minidump
As often as not the dump file gives a very specific reason for the crash.
Also look at 3d party recovery tool. Look here. A free demoversion should give you a proper answer.
