BSOD
Hi
I run a windows 7 ultimate OS, and recently I got a blue screen of death.
What happened is that I was installing an anti-virus and after the installation the pc restarted itself, when it come back on it gave me a blue-screen,flashing numbers at the bottom right-hand of the screen, the blue-screen lasted for about 10 seconds and it restarted all over again.
This is like a continues cycle.
I pressed F8 to give me other options, went to the 'safe mode' tried uninstall the anti-virus from there but I was unable to.
Your help will be gtreatly appriciated.
Thanks in advance

Re: BSOD
Hmm... that's not consistent with any BSOD behaviour that I've seen. Normally, one would see something like this:t-fellow wrote:The flashing numbers are random numbers from 1-100, but they flash so quick that I dont get to see anything.
Code: Select all
STOP Error 0x00000009: IRQL_NOT_GREATER_OR_EQUAL
Out of interest, which anti-virus product was it? I have a nagging suspicion that you may have installed malware masquerading as an anti-virus product...
Kia kaha, Kia māia, Kia manawanui.

Re: BSOD
Does it blue screen immediately after/during POST, or does it start loading Windows first and then die somewhere in the process?
A blue screen is more indicative of a hardware issue than a software one with Windows 7
I'd check your memory and hard drive... try reseating your IDE or SATA cable for the HDD and pull your RAM out, give the RAM bays on your mobo a blow to clear dust, then stick them back in and try again.

Re: BSOD
Try running the Kaspersky Removal Tool within Windows Safe Mode and see if that will uninstall it.
Edit: Then ask Tribble about the benefits of BitDefender.
