Stupid Computer

I'm currently having some problems with my stupid computer and I'm pretty pissed off about it. I was trying to update my Intel chipset and when I ran the Intel chipset ID utility it told me it was a 875. All I saw on their website was an 875P so I assumed that this was the same thing. I downloaded and installed it but then when I restarted I got a blue screen of death. Now I can't get in my damn computer but I do have a boot disk. If I could only rollback the stupid driver somehow or restore to an earlier point then I could probably fix this stupid problem. If someone could please tell me how to do this or anything else that would be better (I prefer doing a rollback) without having to log onto windows normally (or in safe mode) that would be much appreciated. Please respond asap as I am basically freaking and stressing out right now about this whole thing. Thanks.

 

Re: Stupid Computer

I've run check disk and didn't find anything. with the /r AND the /f extensions separately.

 

Re: Stupid Computer

It sucks mate I know ,theres hope if you have an xp disk you can restore the registry back to windows default using the recovery console,its not as complicated as it looks type in each line seperately then press return,this should point windows back to the old driver 'If ' its still there

Re: Stupid Computer

K I'll try that thanx. So I know if I did something wrong or not did i?

 

Re: Stupid Computer

If you changed a cpu driver and then windows wont load yup you installed the wrong or incompatible driver,its one of the most dangerous drivers to play with as without the cpu\driver its impossible for windows to even start to load

 

Re: Stupid Computer

It didn't work :'(. I did all the steps and when windows is loading up it still gives me the same old stupid blue screen. Looks like im gonna have to go to the computer guy for a 3rd time after my original hard drive died on me and then he just set up this hard drive (that's completely new 2 days ago).

 

Re: Stupid Computer

what does the bluescreen say,Do you have a link the the driver you installed just before it happened,we may be able to delete through the recovery console depending on the driver and the bluescreen,windows would have to resort to the default

 

Re: Stupid Computer

Have you tried doing a windows repair install yet,sorry should have posted this earlier

 

Re: Stupid Computer

No, how would I go about doing that? If that doesn't work either then it looks as if i'll probably have to reformat the hard drive and reinstall windows myself so if that comes to pass i'll probably need help with that.

 

Re: Stupid Computer

I once installed the 955x drivers on my motherboard whent hey only use 945x (strange cause my mobo is 955x) however i was able to boot into safemode and reinstall the chipset to 945x, maybe i got lucky but have you tried that?

 

Re: Stupid Computer

Yep I tried just that. It still gave me the same old blue screen. The only way I can access my hard drive is to use the Ultimate Boot CD. If there was some way I could manually roll back the driver or recover to an earlier state (without having to use system restore cause the idiots at microsoft don't seem to give you a way to roll back the drivers OR run system restore when you can't get in your computer, ironic huh) then I could probably fix it. My hard drives are fine it's just Windows screwing up. After this is all over I'm gonna open up the computer and get all the info I can so this doesn't happen again.

 

Re: Stupid Computer

It worked! . Thanks guys! . After I do a microsoft update i'm gonna reinstall all that I had installed since it caused some error in my video card software and my antivirus. But besides that everything looks great!

 

Re: Stupid Computer

I know. I've done a virus scan with Avast! and it didn't find anything. I am having another odd problem now though. I was doing a Microsoft Update and I installed everything but the first time I tried to install Update for WDMRM (or something like that) enabled media players and Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1 it said that it was unsuccesful. After trying it again it said that they installed but the Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1 is still showing up as something I still need to update.

 

Re: Stupid Computer

Report files and HijackThis! log attached. The scans done in safe mode didn't seem to find anything of significance. Odd problems with Spybot, nothing was listed in the Ignore Products list and couldn't update anything. Official site for Spybot also seemed to be down when I was attempting to install it so no scan was done with Spybot. Couldn't connect to the internet in safe mode so had to do online scans in normal mode. Just to make sure you remember, I am still having Microsoft Update problems with the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1.

 

Re: Stupid Computer

Ran CCleaner (in safe mode) and cleaned out files and fixed 33 registry issues. Tried a Microsoft Update and had 8 additional things to update this time other than the .NET. Did the update and restarted but then when I did another look for updates the .NET showed again. Not sure if the CCleaner issues process was supposed to fix this but saying so just in case.

 

Recently accidentally installed the wrong driver for a chipset and had to do a windows repair install. I completed all the steps in the "Read & Run Me First" and only need the log checked to make sure things are back up to par.

Sorry for the inconvenience but I already attached it to another post, so I couldn't post it here.

 

Threads merged to avoid confusion. If everything checks out ok, chaslang or SPD can move this thread back to a different forum if needed.

 

Didn't find any of the files including the one to rename. The drive H that I have is for a backup if something bad happens. At the moment it is an older backup that I need to update when I can (recently had to get a new hard drive).

 

Not having anymore problems except for a repeating update in Microsoft Update. But I've already posted a new topic for that .
