The BSOD flashes by so fast, I cannot find the error codes-

I know hitting F8 brings up the recovery menu and that Safe Mode will open the box, but nothing works on this fresh install.

It is inside a VirtualBox, and I have allocated 512 M RAM to clean install that was fine until Auto Updates installed SP3.

How can I view the error (boot logging?) and then we can address solving.

15 views no reply- can anyone point out where XP stores the bootlog?

Thanks

Hi

Give this a whirl http://majorgeeks.com/BlueScreenView_d6200.html

What VirtualPC app are you using? could be a really corrupt install, would delete the VirtualPC and recreate, had a duff install on VPC2007 of Kubuntu and a re-create fixed it.

Sun VirtualBox downloaded and installed then removed and installed from Synaptic . It worked to load and then install Firefox. I then noticed SP3 downloading from WU when I went to bed at 1100 PM. At 300 AM according to Wayback Machine aka recovery console, it began the reboot sequences.

My guess was to reinstall and that will be about 40 mins.

Thanks for the reply David.

I found a workaround from Google- Stopped autoreboot and then watched BSOD

blue screen:

DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS
Click to expand...

Configuration: host OS = Ubuntu 9.04 VirtualBox = 3.0.0 Guest OS= Windows XP SP2

I received the same symptom

1. Windows crashes during boot
2. The dump says
DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS

which is related to intelppm.sys

Tried to remove intelppm.sys, but didn't work.

Problems with Intelppm.sys and processr.sys under Virtual PC / Virtual Server

Under certain circumstances with a Windows XP / 2003 operating system - intelppm.sys and processr.sys can cause a virtual machine running under Virtual PC / Virtual Server to crash (by default this will cause the Windows guest operating system to reboot automatically - but if you have changed this setting you will see a blue screen). The reason for this crash is because these drivers are attempting to perform an unsupported operation inside of the virtual machine (like upgrading the physical processors microcode, changing power state on the physical processor).

Today this problem only occurs on Centrino and AMD K8 processors. Most people see this problem when they move a virtual machine that was created on another type of processor to a computer running one of these types of processors (and then they usually see the problem when they attempt to shutdown their virtual machine for the first time). Now you may be wondering why you have not heard about this problem more often - and the reason for that is that if these drivers fail once - they are smart enough to not attempt to perform the operation that failed again.

If you are seeing this problem repeatedly you can manually disable these drivers (with no negative side effect) by going to the following location in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Processor

Or

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Intelppm

And changing the 'Start' value to '4'.

I have the iso for SP3 and let's see what comes up.
