Vista blue sceen of death

blown503 · Jun 1, 2007, 02:54 PM

I installed both Doom 3 and Gun then rebooted and all I get is the blue screen of death. Has anyone else had this problem?
Vista cant repair itself with or without the dvd.

Vista BSOD? Does this look 3D and with moving backgrounds as they promised?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Now on topic:

Hadn't seen this with Doom, but the other game I dont know. What BSOD you getting? Curious on the file that is causing it and the error number 0xHexidecimal. Can you make it through to safe mode? Seems like an odd problem.

I've seen gun cause nothing but issues on numerous machines, even under xp... seems to pick and choose.

But neither should have caused vista to fall into a BSOD loop.

No when it starts up all I get is a blue screen for about 2 sec with lots of words then it just restarts over and over. I guess Ill reformat.

That sounds more like a corrupt boot file. Have you done a scandisk lately? I had an HDD take a crap on me agian less than a year old.....and it got toasted basically and I lost the boot sector on the HDD and it did that.
