CTMBHA.dll error at startup with system crash

Hi

That file is generally linked to a Soundblaster audio card, but looking at your PCs tech specs, your laptop comes with Sigmatel audio, but reading a little bit, I noted that Dell uses Soundblaster files in the Sigmatel driver on some models, so I would first try and re-install your Audio drivers from HERE

However its the crashing when you are going online that is a curious one so next time you Blue Screen please write down the code given as it helps link to what the cause is.

Hi

You are having too many random issues and errors and with being a laptop, some of the connections to either ram or the HDD could have come loose, but depending on how technical you feel it maybe worth asking a tech friend to check those for you.

Can you boot into Safe Mode, (F8 at boot) and your PC work ok, or same issues?

Do you have the Windows XP disk as we may need to run checkdisk on your PC to see if their are some corrupted system files, if yo udo then click Start > Run and type chkdsk /r and hit enter then when finished again click Start > Run and now type sfc /scannow and hit enter


also this could be related to malware as you mention you have not installed any new hardware or software, so do run the below

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide and once finished please start a new thread in the Malware Forum plus a guide on how to attach the logs HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post
