Oct 26 - EastLondon...Question?

Ok. I'm virus free. Ready.

That's a driver error, which is what you stated in your 1st post. A SFC scan might resolve the issue. Have you personally run it yourself yet? (from post #7)

192? are you sharing an internet connection via a networked PC or Laptop?
These are all blue screen error codes, what about the event viewer info, as this might list what device/driver is causing constant problems.

#4 is linked with a whole list of problems, it could be anyone of these:
I just need a lil more info.

Yep I did the SFC Scan.

I had set up a network between my sons computer & mine a while back, but his computer hasn't been hooked up to it for about a year now. I didn't delete the network from my computer. I just never hooked his back up to the router. Those codes I game you came from the eventviewer. Well the "system" part. Here is what I've recorded from the application section.

{1}
Catagory Error 100; Event ID 100;
Faulting application svchost.exe, version 5.1.2600.2180, faulting module browser.dll, version 5.1.2600.2180, fault address 0x00002a3

{2}
Catagory 100: Event ID 1005
Windows cannot access the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\browser.dll for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program Computer Browser Service DLL because of this error.

Program: Computer Browser Service DLL
File: C:\WINDOWS\system32\browser.dll

The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.
User Action
1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem that corrects itself when the program runs again.
2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
- It is on the network, your network administrator should verify that there is not a problem with the network and that the server can be contacted.
- It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk or CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not, the disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your administrator or computer hardware vendor for further[..]istance.

I get the blue screen with the #4 stop error when I'm shutting down my system....whether I click "Turn Off" or "Restart" my computer gets the 0x00000050. It doesn't list any drivers.

I'm hoping this fix by M$ will resolve the issue:

[code]http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=894278&sd=RMVP[/code]

Just scroll down to resolution, Method 2 and follow the instructions, also have a read of MORE INFORMATION.

I didn't find any files that match the critera they gave.

Good, you can try this link (read the whole post 1st):

[code]http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=325672[/code]

..and scroll down to resolution. Please copy all the info somewhere preferably print the page out as there may be a small chance that you can't get back into Windows and the fix for that is within the resolution above.

Microsoft, themself's do not recommend this workaround , as it makes your machine more vulnerable to attack.

Eitherway, a new change has been done to your system, it could be new hardware? or new software, such as an update or new application/driver [pic]

I would personaly boot into safe mode and uninstall all the recent stuff installed and keep uninstalling until the problem application or device is found.

The only other option is to back up all your data and go back to your 1st post and either do a Dell system recovery or format, as I'm all out of idea's and this thread has been going for 5 days with no fix, even with the error codes you posted for me :(

I just hope its not a hardware issue, as even a re-format won't resolve that problem, in which case you will have to either give the machine to Dell or a computer workshop, where they'll find the faulty piece of hardware.

EastLondon you definetely get credit when credit is due, mad props for doing all that.

Props

Thanks East for all your help. I think I'm gonna do a back up just to be safe because its starting to shut down on me more. Thanks again. :)

East, I just called Dell and they had me disable my startup programs through msconfig, but he couldn't really explain to me why. Just said it was one of those that was causing my computer to crash. Do you happen to know why? I just need some FYI

They are trying to rule out an application conflict or a problematic application, by getting you to stop all third party applications from starting up.

Does your machine work fine with them all disabled?

It hasn't crashed yet....
