k so this morning i was playing an MMORPG when a storm knocked the power out. Waited a bit for it to die down and i start the computer up again. I get the "Windows was shut down improperly...blah blah blah...." and i choose to start windows normally (Using Vista 64 bit). I see the green bars as windows is loading and my keyboard and mouse light up as if the OS is booting when BAM!...i get the BSOD. So i shut it down and try and boot into safe mode. Says loading all the files, working perfectly. Then i see the ginormous mouse icon known from safe mode's low resolution and the screen goes off, comes back on, and BAM BSOD again. i tried for about 2 hours adjusting bios settings and everything to get things working to no avail, as every time i restart the ocmputer or try to do anything, i get the BSOD no matter how i choose to load. Whether safe mode, safe mode with networking/command prompt, last known good configuration, or loading normally it all starts windows with a BSOD before i even see my desktop. I'm not sure how to tackle this as theres so many topics of BSODs on google that i'm lost. Should i reformat the hard drive? Reinstall Vista? Just wanted to check in the tech forums before taking any sort of course of action. I'm desperate here
What was after the "0x000000F4". Could be a hardware problem or a driver problem with your video card. But try and see what it says after the "0x000000F4". Remember, you are also using fista.
