There were 2 recent changes before my blue screen problem started yesterday.
- I changed my screensaver to the Avast screensaver
- I saved some data to a Duracell 4gig storage device. (“thumb” drive?)
This device installed a driver, and some of what I’ve read points in this
direction.
System restore was unsuccessful. The strange thing about system restore was that
I was allowed only 2 options: Earlier the same day, and 2 days prior. I chose 2 days
prior, but that didn’t help.
Here are some particulars from my locked up blue screen:
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED-AREA
Stop:0x00000050
(0xFFFFF8E0033659BC,
0X0000000000000001,
0XFFFFF8002E0FFA2,
OX0000000000000005)
Pardon my caps lock, I hope the case of these letters is not important.
This is a laptop running windows 7, and pulling the battery out, then starting
allows me internet access. To restart from that point will cause a blue screen.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
