Hey first post, I hope I put this in the right section of the forum, but anyway I get a blue screen error when I first boot up my computer, but if I reboot it a few times it will start like normal and as long as I don't turn it off, there are no issues. Instead of trying to describe it, I copied the minidump file so hopefully someone who knows more than me can help me interpret it:
Could not read faulting driver name

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50)
Invalid system memory was referenced. This cannot be protected by try-except,
it must be protected by a Probe. Typically the address is just plain bad or it
is pointing at freed memory.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffffadf3b1d943a, memory referenced.
Arg2: 0000000000000000, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation.
Arg3: fffffadf29257290, If non-zero, the instruction address which referenced the bad memory
address.
Arg4: 0000000000000000, (reserved)
If you guys need the full stack text I could include that as well, but I think this info should be enough. Looks like a driver error but I'm not exactly sure what to reinstall.
I doubt if this is a software issue. The fact that it will start after several tries would seem to indicate that something isn't functioning well until it warms up.
You could try updating chipset drivers and possibly BIOS.
I would certainly back up anything important on the drive right away, then check for errors there.
Done memtest, no problems there. When I meant that it starts up is that it gets all the way to windows and opens a few of the start up programs and then it goes to the blue screen and shuts down, so it seems like something that is loaded after windows starts. You guys can't tell from the memory dump? I thought you guys would.
HMMMMMM try this :: go to control panel,system,device manager,hardware,and under hardware tell the system to update the hdd driver,,,,if that does not work you can try two more actions,reinstall right over existing install [not likely eh what???] or format and do a clean install,,it looks like your classpnp.sys driver is snookered,which seems to be like it says the classpnp driver, in other words the pnp driver sys for a whole class of hardware is snookered,if your hdd is partitioned then you just have to reinstall on the "C" partition,,dosen't windoze have a repair option wherein you can repair an existing install,if you can google for it could be the easiest way to go otherwise you might be looking at a complete reinstall,,anyhow that's what i see.. ??? anybody else,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,??

A quick Google search yielded this. It's a start anyway.
