An unknown device driver PCI_PNP0828, and then whatever this machine code (appears as odd or Chinese characters, since it is not meant to be viewed as text) is doing there is surely not legit:
There is a chance that BSOD created a dump log that will show us some of these hidden items more clearly.
Navigate (right click My Computer, left click Explore) to the following folder:
c:\windows\minidump
And if one is there, locate in it any recent minidump(date-somenumber).dmp files created, where "date-somenumber" matches dates of any recent crashes there. If they exist, then just zip a copy of it, and send it to jintan AT malwarecrypt.com (change the "AT" to a @) as an attachment. Please place "Submitted Files - simple mind/bg/dmp" as the email Subject.Click here and help my friend help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.
I did receive the dump file. I admit I haven't seen this particular set of issues in these before, and not quite sure what is the actual cause there.
NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM (24) If you see NtfsExceptionFilter on the stack then the 2nd and 3rd parameters are the exception record and context record. Do a .cxr on the 3rd parameter and then kb to obtain a more informative stack trace. Arguments: Arg1: 001902fe Arg2: f7a32940 Arg3: f7a3263c Arg4: f735fae8
No outright pointing to any malware drivers, but something is adding unusual calls I am not familiar with.
Do you have or can borrow an XP CD, to access the Recovery Console there? That way we can get a view of the drivers before Windows loads, and also disable any bad ones.Click here and help my friend help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.
I have the original XP CD. My original CD version says it is an older version of XP. Would that be because of updates?What steps do I follow to get to where you want to go in drivers using Recovery Console.
Step by step would be good in getting to Recovery Console and using it. I read in help that it is pretty potent. Typical specific steps.
Good you have that. The service pack version will be no issue for the steps we need to to right now.
listsvc dir c:\windows\system32\drivers
Open Notepad (Start - Run, type notepad and press Enter).
Copy/paste the above text (inside the box above) into the open text box, then save this to your C:\Windows folder as "servcheck.bat"
Be sure to include the quotes "" in the name.
It should then be C:\Windows\servcheck.bat (important)
Then start the problem computer, and load the XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the system (or if you are quick you can do it as it loads). On reboot watch for and agree to any prompts to boot from the CD. If the system only reboots to Windows stop and post back here and we will discuss steps to make changes in the BIOS.
After the installation software inspects the system and loads all necessary device drivers you will see the "Welcome To Setup" screen, with the following menu:
This portion of the Setup program prepares Microsoft Windows XP to run on your computer:
To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER.
To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R.
To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.
Press "R" to start the Recovery Console setup. After you start the Windows Recovery Console, you receive the following message:
Microsoft Windows(R) Recovery Console
The Recovery Console provides system repair and recovery functionality. Type EXIT to quit the Recovery Console and restart the computer.
1: C:\WINDOWS
Which Windows Installation would you like to log on to (To cancel, press ENTER)?
After you enter the number for the appropriate Windows installation (usually #1), Windows will then prompt you to enter the Administrator account password if one was created (if one was not created then just press Enter).
At the prompt type the following, pressing Enter after each:
batch servcheck.bat c:\windows\servicelook.txt
exit
When you hit Enter after typing exit your computer will reboot. Do Not press any key until the system has completely rebooted, then after the reboot be sure to remove your XP CD from the CD-ROM drive.
Then locate and post back here the contents of c:\windows\servicelook.txt please.Click here and help my friend help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.
Sorry for delay. Out of town. My son showed me that computer now will not let any window program start.
Back to your last post. I have tried every word possible for Administrator password none start. Gave password in 1991. Where do we go from here. I tried suggestions from web nothing worked.
I have a teammate elsewhere that has been trialing some boot CD repair softwares. I will check with them her and see if she can suggest a good alternative to sue there.Click here and help my friend help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.
There is one reality you will need to consider. Without the Admin password you will eventually arrive at another point where you need to make changes that you cannot make. None of your user accounts have Admin access (I don't recall if we have accessed Safe Mode yet here, which requires that)?Click here and help my friend help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.
