Can't Get Past BSOD

by Ascertain20 Aug 26, 2011 5:21AM PDT

We have an an EMachines T2958 with Windows XP Home SP3. We recently installed a new Netgear USB wireless adapter and a new version of Bullguard. After that, it started running slow and started giving us blue screens that say "a device driver attempting to corrupt the system has been caught. The faulty driver on the kernel stack must be replaced with a working version." I can get into Safe Mode fine, but I get a blue screen after a few minutes in normal mode that runs slow. I thought it may have been either the D-Link wireless card we have or the Netgear USB adapter so we tried removing the D-Link card, and it didn't make any difference.

I feel like I've tried everything, even system restore doesn't work. Is there some kind of way to fix this?

Sounds familiar.

After reading http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachinesforum/index.php?topic=7624.0 your post sounded so familiar. This message can be caused not only by BAD RAM, BAD DRIVERS, a HOT CPU but overlapping Security systems.

Can I post the log here or do I have to go to another website?

Your choice.

But it's not a focus of this forum. You can try but if you looked at that other discussion it was pretty involved but a lot sounded the same to me.

I'm losing count of machines with overlapping and conflicting protection. Spybot/Teatimer continues to be a common finding.

But if you want to know what forums do this, read this link -> http://forums.cnet.com/7723-6132_102-255339.html?tag=contentBody;threadListing

BSOD

I totally agree with Bob on this one. Teatimer & Spybot taxes systems to death. Seeing you can get into safe mode, root out any sign of them, if they are the culprit.
Once in Safe mode, see if you can restore from a previous time. As a last resort, turn on your computer & press the power button for off, several times, till you get the screen that lists previous known working. Select that & see if that doesn't help. But be careful, you may have to look around for files, & software installations as it will find the one it likes the most.
Hope this adds a little more information on your quest.
