Many things are surfacing now .....
1- I do not know -- How to set computer to generate dump or mini dump logs.
This issue I had noticed earlier also. That is when I was using HDD.
I have contacted the forum after switching over to SSD. But the issues remain the same as in HDD.
2- I have not made any changes in Registry. Not used Registry cleaner or any cleaner of any sort.
Yes I have installed some freewares and softwares and then uninstalled them using Geek uninstaller.
3- I was using third party Antivirus (Trustport Sphere). I kept it uninstalled thinking that it may come in
way of repairs, especially System restore, etc. as I doubt it has unsigned drivers which may cause
problems during boot up as Vista is enforcing driver verification. I do not use MS Security Essentials
as it is also not supported. Besides in Vista Starter, Windows Defender has all the good things that
MS security essentials has and if I use MS Security Essentials, it blocks and swallows Win Defender.
Win Defender, UAC, DEP are the best security feature of Win Vista Starter. I want to have the advantage
of both 3rd party AV and Win defender. Sometimes I use Super Antispyware or Spybot and then uninstall it.
4-I have installed but not used ReImage yet ( I was waiting for activation keys).
But now I will not use it...until you say.
5- No repairs have been carried out yet from my side. We are still on discussion mode.
6- I do not know whether there is a BIOS update for this Biostar mother board MCP6PB M2+ . I checked on Biostar website.
Saw here and there ...located the motherboard number but further I do not know. I understand that a bootable USB
is needed to flash / update BIOS but first an update must be located. I was wondering if BIOS Agent is the one from
where I can get a BIOS update. So far BIOS Agent only scans and I have not ever seen a Bios Update being offered.
7- And flashing monitor ? Never heard of ? Yes monitor seems to have some problem -- it seems to be getting more brightness
and more contrast that it at times strains my eyes to read .... and at times upon boot up its colours change to blue or red.
It was corrected by pressing buttons on monitor to Normal.... it shifts to monochrome by itself. ... giving a fright that it is also gone.
I was about to take that monitor problem also .... one step at a time.
8- Glanced through the webpage you forwarded --
BSODs but no Dump Files? - Windows Crashes and Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Help and Support
But I have not taken any action...except run 2 programs to check system settings ... Results are attached.
Not tried the Hotfix -- it also seems to be for Win 7 .... but will try when you say so..
9- Test RAM is what I am going to do .... but late tonight... after dinner.... today being Sunday.... I shall post the results by Monday morning
if Computer does not get stuck in the Memory test... I am afraid that it may.... and perhaps RAM is the culprit. Computer has two RAMs of 1 GB each.
It can house a maximum of two RAMs of 2 GB each.
Only when things got started I have to leave the computer ..... after dinner , please don't mind....
