Hello everyone. I've been working on this problem for months -- to no avail.
3 yr old Dell Studio XPS
AMD Phenom II 2.7GHz
win 7 Pro native (not upgrade)
1/2TB drive
8GB DDR3 original
So here's a summary of problems and actions:
BSOD started about 2 months ago. Troubleshooting suggested memory stick issues. Replaced with DDR3 16GB - 1 8Gb stick at a time.
Did not fix BSOD
Computer Extremely slow +10 mins boot time
Started researching what to uninstall -- to avoid reloading OS
Tried msconfig options, but they crashed PC completely
Tried to boot without services and start up options - no go would not shut down
Tried to disable devices, no change.
Currently working in native Admin to troubleshoot.
Ran full diagnostic from Dell -- all h/w components tested and passed.
Unable to backup C: drive to exteral 1TB Maxtor -- fails before completing.
Manually copied important stuff to D: drive
Problems remain: very slow boot/operational time.
Frequent BSOD
What do I try next? Do I have to reload OS?
