XP BSOD Posting Instructions

jcgriff2 · Sep 21, 2012

Feel free to use this, but please keep in mind there are a very limited number of BSOD analysts that will touch XP BSODs. Thank you.

Download these 2 files; save both to My Documents folder -

1. Microsoft SysInternals AutoRuns - [url]http://live.sysinternals.com/autoruns.exe[/URL]

2. System file collection app - http://www.sysnative.com/apps/BSOD_XP_v1.3_jcgriff2_PROD_Sysnative.exe

Go to My Documents folder and run #2. It will run #1.

Output = newly created folder in My Docs - Sys_XP_Support

Zip up the entire folder and attach to next post.

Also -
- Run Speccy - http://www.filehippo.com/download_speccy
- "File" | "Publish Snapshot" | Paste URL into your next post

The output for XP Home edition is limited; much more output for XP Pro & MCE.

EDIT: I use this app to read the XP EVT logs on my Windows 7 x64 system -

Event Log Explorer - Windows event log management, security, system analyzer, archiver, report, backup tools - FSPro Labs

You just apply (send email, I think) & they give you keycode.

Thank you John! I've been wondering about using the other app on XP but didn't think it would work. This is really useful, some of my friends/family use XP so if they have BSOD issues, this will be so useful.

Thanks again!

You'll find that XP Home produces very little output.

XP Pro & MCE - very different story.

However, I myself stay away from XP BSOD threads if at all possible because they usually are hardware related and I learned Windows under Vista; only ran XP for a very short period of time.
