Default Unexpected shutdown

Hi,

Had I received it, you would have heard from me by now. Please resend only
the most recent one using the appropriate subject line of "per req" (other
subject lines are stripped out by mail filters).

Hi,

Did you receive my minidump file? I sent a week ago Sat to the address you
listed. I'm sure you go through a lot of these so if you haven't gotten
to
yet my apologies. I have a feeling though you might not have received it
at
all. Thanks!

I did find how to get to the hidden administrator but didn't get a
chance
to
try it yet. Your suggestion seems much easier. I'll send the files
later
this evening. I think I will have at least 3 minidump files. Thanks
again!

Click start and type "explorer" (without the quotes). Right click the

Thanks for the explanation on your email address!

I was hoping someone could analyze my BSOD error and give me an

of
what
might be causing it. I was recently infected with
virus/trojan
and
I
was
actually in the middle of running a program (Combofix) to send
to
someone
to
analyze when I crashed. Don't know if it is related though to
BSOD
error.

Default Unexpected shutdown

That's what I thought. I know I definitely put "per req" in the subject
line. I will double-check to make sure I got the email address correct.
Interestingly I haven't gotten the BSOD since right before I sent the last
file which I believe is dated 1/14/09. I know you haven't seen the file but
could these files be related to malware or virus? I'm just curious b/c I had
both recently and someone from another forum helped me clean up my computer
and the timing seems to coincide. Thanks!

Hi,

There's no question that it could be related to a virus. If cleaning the
system got the problem to stop, you may have hit upon your solution.

Default Unexpected shutdown

Hi,
Turns out I didn't get an error for a week or so but then one happened the
other day so I don't think the malware problem I was having was the cause. I
just sent you the latest minidump file. Hopefully you will get it this time.
Thanks again for taking a look.

Default Unexpected shutdown

Just to rule out a hard drive problem Download Hard Disk Sentinel (see
http://www.hdsentinel.com/compat.php) and
give it a try. It save me by proving my HD was bad. I ran all kinds of test
on the HD and nothing indicated I had a problem. I had also contacted the
MFG of my laptop several times and each time they indicated that my problem
was software not hardware. I ran HDS and noticed that on the average the HD
was reallocation sectors on the average 15 times a day. Also possibly using
SpinRite (see www.spinrite.com) might help. I started to run SpinRite on the
drive but due to other pressures I had to stop the process when it was only
40% completed. After HDS indicated the HD had problems I replaced the drive,
restored the HD to factory shipment and the system has been runing without
any HD issues. I use both HDS and SpinRite on a regular basis and highly
suggest either or both.
