Re: [CGUYS] Crash dump on Vista
Terry, Device driver incompatibility is the largest culprit. Try: 1) updating all of your device drivers from the manufacturers websites. Sometimes, it takes up to a year for the manufacturer to fix a device driver properly. 2) disable the 'sleep' and 'hibernate' power saving modes on your computer. Otherwise stable device drivers sometimes get confused when restoring from these states, causing a bluescreen hours later. 3) disable all non-essential software that loads when you boot up. 4) Scan for viruses and adware 5) slow down your processor to prevent crashes caused by excessive heat buildup, or put a fan next to your CPU to keep it cooler. I have solved strange (random) crashes by doing this, and after making the diagnosis, adding fans inside the case makes a more permanent fix. 6) if all else fails, a clean op-sys reload sometimes fixes this kind of problem, even on a new computer. I have received several computers over the years that had problems due to the way the manufacturer 'blasts' the opsys onto the hard drive, and fixed it with a clean install. I have not yet seen this behavior with Vista yet.

Re: [CGUYS] Crash dump on Vista
Service Pack 1 has gone out for Vista. It has been sensitive to unsupported items and not going to machines with unsupported devices on them.

Re: [CGUYS] Crash dump on Vista
Well, I am ignorant, so I will post my opinion. I don't have Vista but Windows XP instead. I get a blue screen about once a month. I don't bother with waiting for the save feature -- 140 pages, can't remember. I just reboot the computer and everything is OK until the next blue screen. Computer freezing is more frequent, no one software that I can see is to blame. Maybe 2 or 3 times a week I need to reboot XP. This situation is much better than with earlier versions of Windows. My previous OS was Windows ME and I had to reboot maybe every half hour. So, I am not too concerned with the current Windows problems. (For you people that think there is a hardware problem, the same situation occurred on several different computers.) Sorry I can't give better analysis of your Windows problem.
